Western Conference Finals

[radiohead]

A Reaves has now had 23pts, 22pts and 23pts in the first three games of this series. He has also added 8ast, 5ast and 5ast in those three games. So 22ppg and 6apg. All while shooting very good percentages from the floor.

He will be gone from the Lakers for a big payday this summer

It is interesting to think about what type of shape LAL will be in if A Reaves leaves. They don't have a whole lot else going on there.

D Russell has been even more inconsistent than normal which saying something because he is inconsistent even when he is at his best. He just isn't that comfortable sharing the ball with LeBron. He wants more time on the ball. That is not a marriage made in heaven. Yet, it appears the best marriage proposal on the table for both player and team.

But where does the help come from? To go from a lucky playoff run to a legit contender? To replace your 3rd best player? To make the additions on top of that replacement to move forward?

LAL is in trouble if A Reaves leaves.

There’s basically no way they could keep him right? Who’s salary can they trade to make room for him?

Can't you pay your current players what is required as long as you are willing to pay the tax ?

Not that I want Reaves to stay in LA. I am quite relieved they lost Game 3.

Maybe then he can stop doing that stupid "ice in my veins" gesture invented by Russell, which looks just like a heroin addict shooting up.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham appreciates Reaves, too. He watched him go from being "undisciplined" in the preseason because of his herky-jerky style of play to becoming one of his favorite players he has ever coached.

Wait I thought Joe Burrows came up with that 😂

Jokic getting his first championship this year isnt he?

maybe i'm still underrating them. but Miami will get slaughtered against Denver if they make the finals.

I agree… If Denver don’t win it this year, they never will…maybe Jokic will finally get the accolades he deserves

I don't see any path for Miami to beat Denver. Likely its over in 5 games. Lakers are a much better team than Miami and Denver is demolishing them.

which is what makes our performance thus far so disappointing.

Jokic just gets underrated because his game isn't that flashy. then you look at his stats and they are crazy.

I can't see the Nuggets losing. Their offence is unstoppable barring injury, and Malone adjusts their defence really well

Waiting for LeBron to get an “injury” so he can have an excuse

Best thing to happen in the playoffs so far:

I think everyone is getting a little carried away with the Nuggets, what they have done is incredible but they are a number 1 seed playing like a number 1 seed it’s not that impressive they are just taking care of business.

Now Miami started in the play in took down NBA champion Giannis and the number 1 seeded East team then they knocked out New York and now they are beating what I thought was one of the top 3 teams in the NBA this year.

If Miami takes out Bucks, Celtics, and Denver that would be something.

I’m not going to count Jimmy Butler out because he’s averaging Michael Jordan numbers right now.

A much nicer day today.  Not only has the rain worked it's way through and sunny skies prevail, but last night's Lakers loss brightens the mood that yesterday was struggling with gloom from Friday's disappointing C's loss.  Hoping that the bright forecast for tomorrow foreshadows a good night tonight.

All things aside it would be one of the most impressive rings in years.

Milwaukee and Celtics were supposed to be the teams to come out of the east.

Windhorst has the Lebron played with X injury ready to go and it will be posted after they're eliminated
