Kleber might not be able to play anymore tonight. Take him out

[mac222b]

I understand not trading our 1st for Morris but man we could really use him

They lean on him hard. I saw a stat a few weeks ago that he is in the top 5 in the nba as far as degree of difficulty of person he guards.

KP rotations need to be tighter on defense. In his defense he’s playing a lot of minutes.

Actually took place over 2 days. Day 1 I was better. I came out on fire and was the 1st to play. I laugh at the fact that I honestly didn't realize how well I did. Out of 70 participants no one came close to me. I asked, "So when do I find out if I made it?" They told me instantly... " Don't worry. You made it. See you tomorrow."

Maybe I set an L.A. Fitness record with my 1st round performance?

[MFFL]

Leonard George and Beverly with 3 fouls

[mac222b]

Wtf another clean block

[Melonhead]

Fuck these refs

That's by design. It's called drop coverage. It's not really working tonight, but to be fair, KP showing harder is what led to Dame's 61 the other day.

He's just not Tyson Chandler on that end, unfortunately. He's still young though, so hopefully he improves.

That's why I hope we can find a way to draft Devin Vassell. We'd basically have two DFSs and Vassell is more of a pure scorer.

I'm but holding off to celebrate because we've hung with them before only to have the wheels fall off in the 4th qtrs vs them every time this year.

Maybe we finally catch a break this time

Isn't that just for regular season games or did that carry into the POs?

So, I think we figured out why Carlisle doesn't play our favorite lineup more often. There's not enough safe ball-handling with that group. When Luka is the only one who can handle on the floor, it's too easy to make him look like a HS baller.

[KillerLeft]

I bet Curry starts the 2nd half.

[KillerLeft]

Nope - he's sticking with Kleber.

[rimrocker]

Thank goodness they are as bad as us to start the 3rd!

[sefant77]

whats wrong with Kleber

[rimrocker]

I know Morris is a dick but we need a few of those guys like we had in 2011.

[NeedlesKane]

Bubble fight!

[rimrocker]

This game is over.

[FreshJive]

Bullfucking shit

[MFFL]

KP fought a bunch of Russian goons. Morris would get smashed

Kp ejected

[NeedlesKane]

Dammit. WTF?

[KillerLeft]

Unbelievable

[FreshJive]

What a soft fucking league

[rimrocker]

Bring Boban in.

[NeedlesKane]

This makes me so mad. I hope Luka appreciates that KP had his back. I just wish Boban was in to have his back instead.

[rimrocker]

Wheels coming off this thing now.

[rimrocker]

Zubac is going to kill us in the paint the rest of the game.

[FreshJive]

Refs ended the game over bullshit

[MFFL]

This will get ugly pretty quickly

[NeedlesKane]

Fuck these refs. I'm done with this. Ejecting my man, KP.

[mac222b]

Weak refs

[sefant77]

Fuck the refs and fuck the NBA, they obv want the battle of LA blabla

[Melonhead]

Man I’m fucking done with this game. I’ve never seen a more bullshit ejection

[endtroducing MASKED]

I want every player on the team taking a fine for KP, including every coach

[rimrocker]

Curry and THJ will determine the rest of this game one way or another.
They'll either shoot us to a win or a loss.

[Skywalker]

Those were two weak techs but KP should've known better before getting involved tbh. I honestly think he forgot he already had a T
