Low IQ play calling is having Kawhi run consecutive PnRs with Plumlee 28 ft out, knowing they’re just gonna trap Kawhi and force Plumlee to play make.

If it’s going to be PnR, logically it should be KL with a 3pt shooter setting the pick.

Or even better, device a play that gets him the ball in his spot (midrange) instead of 28 feet out every time.

Russ himself played very well. PG’s back-to-back turnovers in the 4Q sabotaged them.

Fox/Monk/Sabonis is a hell of a big 3 offensively. Yeesh.

Paul George is a really bad decision maker with the ball and it shows itself every game

When Russ fouled out, they brought in Gordon. Why not bones or man, now they had a backcourt of Gordon & norm

But the Lakers could still beat either team because the Clippers/Suns have a history of choking in the playoffs


The Clippers have been owning the Lakers in the Lebron era and we haven't seen how the Suns will look because AD is still out.


I do like these new look Lakers a lot though.

2 wings in Vando and Rui are important for those particular matchups.


I don't know if Ham will be able to figure it out.

What the hell were Powell and Westbrook doing on this play and what was the defensive call? Both were ball watching and both lost sight of their men on the play.
