I knew they were somewhat set up for a let down after those first two game, just hate it had to be versus these Portland scum. The late game execution in the first two games simply wasn’t there last night. Ugly FTs from Russ, don’t know what was going on there. Bad 3pt shooting from Cov and House too. Melo went 5/14, but 2 of those 3 pointers he hit, no one was even on him. The very first possession of the game was an uncontested Melo 3, and Melo’s late 3 was due to House going away from him.
(the account tweeting this is an idiot Melo stan btw. People seemed to forget every team passed him up, including Portland. The Lakers signed Jared Dudley over him.)
