This looks like the Clippers game, in that there isn't anyone to pick on to create rotation. Jrue picked on Reeves a couple of times, but Tatum and Brown can't find advantages.

Get rid of slow motion replay for every damn play and nobody would miss reviews.
Nobody besides Brian Scalabrine is on the edge of their seat when a review happens, but the sports world before the mechanism to overturn missed calls existed was garbage.

Two things bug me about tonight:
  1. It’s the Lakers on national TV
  2. We went two bigs instead of trying an energy bench wing which, low stakes aside, was a really odd choice and just a bad read by the coach.
Everything else is just 4 in 6, other stars sitting classic NBA stuff.

Just not enough time left, and no indication they can get enough stops.

The foul disparity is pretty bad, but some of that is who is playing aggressively

I’ll add a third thing that pissed me off it’s getting punked by Russell who carries himself like gods gift to basketball despite only ever being a tank commander his entire career.

Lakes 19-36 from deep is kinda hilarious too. I mean it’s hard to win when Jared Vanderbilt is canning threes and Jaxson Hayes is making all his free throws. Just that kind of night.

After going undefeated at home all season, Boston drops 3 of their last 5 at home, losing to a sub 500 team missing its two stars

I dunno, the FT disparity is really bothering me looking at the box score now. Shooting is more even than you'd think now.

5 free throws. I'm guessing they didn't bother posting up and driving?

Gotta feel for the fans who paid premium to see the Lakers' stars sit and the home team to go through the motions.
