LAKERS IN 6

They just lost AD though (uncertain if he will play Game 5), and CP3 is slowly getting back to form rn and they're going back to Phoenix for Game 5 as well.

AD got injured. Schroeder played poorly. Reasonable loss.

 

[GreenEggsAHam]

The comments on "Lakers Vs Sun Game 4" about AD is too funny

AD's knee injury incoming Suns in 7, you heard it here first :cheers:

You were more or less right.

AD is made of glass.

 

[Haoshoku]

Lebron has never lost in the first round, Lebron in 7.

 

[RobertoTheOharaSurvivor]

Lebron has never lost in the first round, Lebron in 7.

still this series is high stakes for both the Suns VS Lakers. One really strong contender will be eliminated after this matchup, and imo both teams could win in the Finals if given the chance.

If the Suns beats the Lakers, everyone in the West will be thanking them lol

Of course, Lebron is not like MiBum Lordan who lose in the first round 5 times, but that don't count because fluke 6-0

Clippers have the best player in the series

 

[RobertoTheOharaSurvivor]

Clippers have the best player in the series

Mavs have the best player in the series in Luka Doncic (PG and Kawhi are playing well but not at his level this series), Clippers have a much deeper bench in the series though

Playoff Rondo or George Paul?

Lmaoooo. These ***** trade for Luka before tip?

Kawhi is still better than Luka. Defense matters too

 

[Jiihad]

Kawhi is still better than Luka. Defense matters too

Onto what lvl? Kawhi a much better defender than KD. Who’s better tho....

 

[RobertoTheOharaSurvivor]

Kawhi is still better than Luka. Defense matters too

the only thing Luka hasn't done well this series is FT, other than that Clippers so far this series have 0 answer for him. Kawhi is overall the more polished player with his playing history

 

[ReggieZoldyck21]

KD might be the most talented scorer of all time though. He’s also a better defender than Luka. The gap between Luka and Kawhi on offense is not as big as the gap between Kawhi and KD.

The Clippers should have went smaller earlier. Was such an obvious adjustment that took Ty Lue this long to make for some reason, part of what cost them two whole games. Luka was getting practice shots up every time Zubac was guarding him.

KP gotta play better tho.

I wouldn’t say Luka is overall better than Kawhi right now but he has a higher ceiling for sure. As far as this series goes Luka has been performing the best tho Kawhi hasn’t been that far behind.

Suns have no shot at winning the entire thing.

Individual defense, much less perimeter defense really doesn't matter all that much.

If it did, Tony Allen would be a hall of famer. Offense is like 10 times more important, Luka can run an entire offense while also getting his own at will, while Kawhi is more of a hired mercenary who doesn't effect the rest of his squad.
