Traveling with my daughters, I'll be back when I have more time but I streamed the whole game. I'll say two points:
•LeBron was the only positive Laker (+2) in +/-. He went to the bench three times tonight and each time the fukking offense disintegrated. If you have Schroder and Davis there's no reason you should floor an incompetent offense...
•I always predicted this would be a 6 or 7 game series and still feel that way, but Phx is in trouble. They won the game in every relevant metric and still never led by more than 15 and only won by 9. On the optimistic side yes, Phx can shoot better from 3 and cut down on turnovers but this game isn't far off their ceiling. The Lakers can play better in every aspect of the game and the fact you could never dominate or put your foot on their throat is a bad omen...
Can't wait for G2...
