    have they discussed his being whistled for boxing out in game 2? oh, it wasn't in the last two minutes, so it's not part of the game.

    semi-related, but i thought svg going nuts about us winning jump balls through questionable means was hilarious. like, just put on the rockets jersey. i know your brother is a rockets lifer, but you can try to hide it for a couple hours, man. svg whined more than houston* did about calls in last night's game.

    *and they didn't whine much--which is my point. he was taking umbrage FOR them!

    I hated the SVG and whoever that other announcer got this game. I hated listening to them and had to scream at them more than a couple of times to shut the F up.

    that announcing team was awful just overall - no discussion of injuries like Jake getting hurt, possession game etc.

    LOL What does DeAndre Jordan do at this stage of his career for “this”? The guy has been washed for like 5 years.

    What an awful game by Smart - so many turnovers and they were all the wtf are you going type.
    Him and Kennard regressing the last two games is a concern - just need one more good game from him and the Lakers win this series.

    With a lot of dead weight in the rotation: vando, laravia, kennard/rui regression need him to being a difference maker (for the lakers not the rockets lol)

    It was the same with Udonis Haslem
    they both provided leadership in the locker room how to tank more efficiently lol

    Elite defensively.

    3 charges, 2 blocks, 2 steals, a jump ball, couple court dives. Only DA had more rebounds, tied Bron with 7.

    Dude eats grit for breakfast, gravel for lunch and glass for dinner. So glad he's a Laker.

    I feel bad for him he wasn't part of the 24 C Bags .

    Hopefully he will win one with us cause he really deserves it

    Looking at those steals and blocks numbers... that is truly elite. Historical performance in terms of defense and leadership. We were concerned about his durability, but see... he is available when it really counts.

    Sometimes DPOY awards are b*******. Sometimes you see it in action and you say YEP, I GET IT. Ben Wallace was that. Wemby. Smart. Rodman (did he win DPOY?).

    Rudy is not that, despite his recent Jokic heroics.

    He really reminds me of Dennis Johnson but more athletic defensively and more erratic offensively
