I mean we'll have to see, I've seen Trae getting slandered on Twitter just because Luka hit a buzzer beater. I guess I'll take the mantle of the "lone Trae Young supporter" on here.  ;D

He'll need all the people defending him he can get - we all know that he can't defend

i like trigger trae, hope he has a long and successful career. I like Luka too and wish the same. Both are really good but Luka is better and will always be if injuries don't step in. There is room to enjoy all of these young studs!

Nothing against Trae Young, he's a great player, but not in Luka's league. It's like comparing Reggie Miller to Michael Jordan or Melo to Lebron .

Is there any position scarier than being a Doc Rivers coached team up 20+ in the play-offs?

He has to have the record for most coaching losses after leading by 20 points or more.

Amazing.

Yeah it's a weakness, but Trae is someone special.

OCK just tied the series with the Rockets. Houston and the LA Clippers, two major favorites in the West, both having some serious trouble in round 1. The Lakers could quite possibly end up in that group later tonight too.

Houston Rockets: Live by the 3, die by the 3

I'd hope they can live by the 3 at least four times against the Lakers. That's all I ask lol

They definitely need Westbrook back. He gives defences a real inside presence to think about, even if he's only 6'4". He's become a legit 30PPG threat again without Capela, on elite efficiency too (52% FG, 36% 3P).

When he returns Houston are tough, even despite their little hobbit lineup

True, though we still don't know when he'll return. Some seem to think he'll come back for Game 5, others Game 6.

Excited for Lakers-Blazers tonight. I'd love to see drama in the West with three series (OKC-HOU, LAC-DAL, LAL-POR) all tied 2-2. And I have good feeling Portland wakes up tonight and so does CJ + others not named Lillard (though of course they need Lillard to keep doing his thing)

However, with it being "Mamba Day" (RIP Kobe) and that, I hate to say it but if this is a really close game throughout, they could rig this to gift the Lakers a win. Even the previous game, Portland thoroughly outplayed LA in the 1st half and should have been up 15+ but the refs literally kept LAL in it by giving them nearly a +20 FT advantage.

Did not expect LAC-DAL and HOU-OKC to be tied 2-2. Awesome. Jazz leading Nuggets 3-1 too.

Go Blazers.

Oladipo looks so much worse on defence since he ruptured his quad. Not sure he's close to All-Defensive calibre anymore
