56 -35 Lakers with just under 8 minutes left in the 2nd, If Lakers keep playing like this and my predictions could change

Sounds like you are turning into a LeBron lover!

Sounds like you are turning into a LeBron lover!

Really not but you know as a Lakers fan I remain conflicted esp on 8/24

 

[WLVCA]

All respect to the memory of Kobe.

 

[Steve Williams]

Huge first half for the Lakers as they just can't miss.

Lakers up by 80-51 at half time

 

[Steve Williams]

McCollum and Lillard have 8 and 9 points respectively. Lakers defense is stifling

 

[Steve Williams]

as Chick Hearn would always ay with a guaranteed Lakers win... "This one's the refrigerator, the butter's getting hard and the jello's jiggling"


They lead by as much as 40 but AD is out with back spasm and Lillard out with a knee injury and listed as doubtful for Wednesday game

Final

Lakers 135-Blazers 115

Lakers go wire to wire and lead the entire game

I just read that myself. Not unexpected

 

[Steve Williams]

Terrific to see Luka at age 21 being compared to legends of the game

I was hoping not to read this but Porzingis out again tonught

Back spasms are terrible. Thryr've kept Rondo from returning.

As WLVCA so correctly says, "you hate to see injuries at any time but especially during the finals where the injuries could affect out come"

 

[Steve Williams]

With Rockets series tied this is a perfect example how an injury could affect outcome

Reality is I hate the Rockets, D'Antoni and Harden ,,,,,so who cares

Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) day-to-day in playoffs
Rockets' star guard has not played in first-round series vs. Thunder

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook was parked on the bench during the Rockets' Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. He continues to deal with a strained right quadriceps, but may soon be able to get into the series mix for Houston.

Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters Tuesday that Westbrook is day-to-day with his quadriceps injury and he would not rule him out for the rest of the series.

"Not going to rule anything out or anything in," D'Antonio said. "We'll see."

Additionally, D'Antoni told reporters it's up to the medical staff to decide when Westbrook is good to return.

Oklahoma City's win tied the series 2-2, with Game 5 set for Wednesday night (6:30 ET, TNT). Westbrook was ruled out for the start of first-round shortly after the seeding games portion of the 2019-20 season restart ended.

Westbrook has been trying to play through the injury during the season restart. In a 110-102 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Aug. 4, he made just 5 of 12 free throws and finished with 15 points and nine assists; that snapped a streak of 36 straight games with at least 20 points. Westbrook missed the next two games with what was described as a right quadriceps contusion.

Westbrook is averaging 27.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists this season for Houston.

The pivotal game starting now. Whoever wins this "should" win the series.
PG better show up tonight

Agree, Steve. It's all on PG now. He has to be aggressive, attack the basket, that should get him going.

 

[Steve Williams]

16-15 Mavs early in the first

 

[Steve Williams]

Doncic doesn't seem to have any issues with his ankle as he already has 8 points

 

[jadis]

PG has scored a few points. Good sign for the Clippers.

The Clippers' bench is alive.
