Ole man still doing the darn thing. Creates the turnover and hits the long ball to tie the game and send it to OT. Then did some more Bron like things and they crush Rockets hope by taking a 3-0 lead.

Playing QB as an old man is way different than the NBA though. It is embarrassing that this is happening to them against LA without Doncic and Reaves. Bron is outfoxing them more than anything, like that game-sealing cut and dunk in game 2 when he clowned the defender. I like that type of deception vs his title as king flopper.
If I had a team, I would take either of these old guys.

Smart is one of those guys that you only love him if he is on your team. Otherwise he is annoying as F.
I knew that was a good pickup for them even if he seemed to be past his prime. I actually liked the guy even when he was on Boston, but he is a menace and all around agitator.

Nice bounce back game from Spurs without Wemby, figured Portland would win this one. If I had to guess they will probably sit Wemby game 4 too, that’d be a quick turnaround for concussion and now they won’t be desperate to win either.

I've always appreciated his athleticism even when I couldn't stand his flopping.
he's a world class flopper, but I have to say.. Jokic might be just as bad. Obviously SGA is the MVP of the flop, with Austin Reeves getting the 6th man of the year spot for it

Speaking of "smart" Good Grief, the rockets basketball IQ Perk said is the lowest in the playoffs!! Actually Perk said its a dumb team.. jajajaja.. This is strange series. I can't understand why understand why they are not double or triple team Lebron and make the other Lakettes shoot the ball.. It aint Complicated!!!

Coming into the series I would have disagreed with you as I figure the best chance the Lakers would have is LeBron getting 10-15 assists per game and a couple of the role players getting hot, which is easier when you double him. At this point they should mix it up for the sake of mixing it up but it’s obviously too late.

I kind of hate the flopping LeBron does more than guys like Harden and SGA initiating and selling contact. It’s worse when you consider LeBron’s size, and he has had some ridiculous ones where he literally isn’t touched and pretends he got elbowed or poked in the eye.

SGA is the worst... shout-out to Brunson and Embiid in the East also

there's one particular one where he gets a bump from Jokic and literally slides across the floor about 15 ft. And don't get me started on the one where he fell down, covers his face in pain, then the camera pans in and you can see him lift a finger to see what the ref is doing. This is NOT what GOATs do!

You know what....this series, it has the "potential" to be the first series where a team comes back from 0-3. I know, not likely but before this series started, who thought it was going to go this way with what is happening with Lakers? Lakers has not changed. And Houston, with KD, still looks better on paper IF they come to play.
Or it can end up in a sweep.

SGA deserves some love man. Yes, he exploits the rules as they are , like MJ did, Kobe did and others keep doing, but it is not because he needs it man. He is efficient. He was 16 of 18 today. That is ridiculous in a play off game, in ANY game ! I agree with you in that he initiates things where the defender just buys it and commits...then he makes the most of it. But he does not CREATE situations that do not exist like Bron.
If SGA had zero free throws per game, he would still be an elite scorer, probably around 25 points per game, with his overall shooting percentage over %50...which is ridiculous for a shooting guard. And this is in a team where there are other legit scorers.
Brother can play man. Show him some love. :)
