If Dame is at full strength, then I'd expect a plot twist or two.

Great adjustments by the Lakers tonight... very convincing argument for Vogel to secure his job assuming the effort continues.


Dame's dislocated finger is on his none shooting hand. It depends on how severe it is but that should not bother him that much.

I don't see that broken finger bothering dame..I recall Kobe getting a dislocated finger and Gary putting back in place & Kobe going back in and playing..forgot which game that was...

As far as the Lakers, Javale said before the game, all the players were talking during the film session no one was quiet. I believe this is one of the great things about the Lakes..their cumulative IQ and experience..combine that with chemistry.

So I think as the series goes on, the Lakers get harder and harder to bet because they know more and more about the other team.

Portland may win 1 game but I don't think we'll have problems unless the shooting is horrendous like in the first game. And even so, we could still win. We are better than Portland.

Blazers have no chance in this series unless Lillard goes absolutely insane, we had 1 of our poorest shooting games of the year in Game 1 and still almost won, this series is over unless a injury occurs to one of our players or something crazy happens.

Kobe wasn't as dependent on his outside shot to be effective like Dame is.

However, if it's not his shooting hand, then it's true that maybe it won't matter.

Might affect his handles, which are an important part of his game and how he gets open.

98 DEFRTG πŸ‘€

I’m pretty confident if that continues, assuming just average 3 pt shooting or slightly below average.

98 against a top 3 offense like the Blazers is impressive.

Pretty amazing defensive results against a potent offense.

Also saw Vogel had the team make 100 free throws before they could leave practice. No report on how long it took some of them to finish or if any still shooting this morning.

I have us winning in 6. I think we'll either lose today or Wednesday. And close things out Friday.
