lebron definitely had 0 gas smh everyone settling for jumpers

Good season, landing Luka was absolutely a steal.

If LeBron retires, that opens a lot of money. Trading Austin + Rui for a big should be the top priority.

No Words

austin, rui, jaxson for zion

Bron inbounding like a has cost us so many keener this season now

Nope

Zion always hurt f*** that

That’s when his age shows. These hard fought playoff games. We didn’t get blown out the last two years against the nuggets. They just made the critical plays in the clutch. More energy

Hayes has negative value. I would keep Rui.

Reeves 3 future 1s for Zion.

Then flip Rui for a center

Reaves should have been benched. We are just running lebron iso or Luka isos and reaves just standing there. Should have been used as that elite 6th man and put in a defender at a guard spot. Knecht should also be playing. We could use his energy, speed, athletic ability in this series

JJ Redick: "Not a planned thing to play five guys the entire second half...those guys gave a lot."

Austin Reaves on the Lakers not being able to close:

"They made one more play than us."

Austin Reaves on the Lakers facing a 3-1 deficit:

"Anytime you have an opportunity to lace them up and play again, you're not out of it... The sun will come up tomorrow and we still got another day to fight."

Luka Doncic acknowledged the disappointment of losing a game that they led by as many as 12 (including 10 to start the 4th Q, 7 with 5:06 left and 2 with 1:29 left), but emphasized that LA haven't lost the series yet, and that it's the first to 4.

Magic speaks

Luka Doncic on if fatigue played a factor down the stretch for the Lakers:

"This is the playoffs. Fatigue shouldn't play a role in this... They just executed better on the defensive end during the last minute."

Magic agrees with you

Luka Doncic says the Lakers can't relax when they get a lead and need to keep playing how they did to get said lead.

DFS on LA potentially coming back from down 3-1: "I've seen Bron do it already. ... We still think we can win this series.

We have to win one game at a time."

Dorian Finney-Smith says the Lakers feel like they did enough to win the game, but credited the Timberwolves for making big shots down the stretch.

He added that the Lakers had some great looks in the fourth that they couldn't convert.

I know it was a must-win, but he was wilding clearly (didn't get to watch)

Looks like I underestimated the enemy

LeBron, asked about coming back from a 3-1 deficit as he's done before, said it's only about the next game. Focus is on Game 5. One at a time.

For today's loss, he said: "Big play after big play (down the stretch) ... they made a couple more than we did, obviously."
