    I disagree he has an annual ESPN column named after him "the Luke Walton All-stars". That's a GOAT level achievement: Wilt, Kareem, MJ never accomplished this

    You let Brogdon win the matchup against you. Inexcusable.

    Yeah that was bad, he played soft as hell tonight, he was playing for the foul and not through contact to try to score. I hate that. And he’ll bounce back, he’s still AD, but it was bad. Not ALL his fault though, he was getting doubled and tripled sometimes, especially with Russ in.

    I'll give him that they did a good job of converging on him and the help came often and quick. BUT that means the action has to come quicker. Russ and Bron can fire fastballs. Get position on Brogdon, hand up and go. That's on AD, Ham, Bron, Ham’s staff, and Russ in that order.

    I know they're as different as day and night, but I couldn't help but think that if you put a point guard on Lakers Shaq. It happens twice, both result in punishment and then the HC goes away from it.

    Ad should be held accountable for allowing him to be guarded by Brogdan n doing absolutely nothing

    It's gonna take him time to trust his foot. He got a hard double every time so players gotta make shots.

    But the story is today we got screwed big time. Refs needs to be held accountable for their mistakes.

    It took him a few weeks to get into rhythm so hard to get mad at him but the Lakers don't have the luxury of time due that bad start and literally 4 games with blown calls at the end of games

    As soon as AD showed aggression he was whistled for a foul. Brogdon was allowed to do anything to him. One play he boxed his little a** out, and got an offensive rebound, but was whistled for a foul.

    The refs were cheating big time.

    Where is Phil to punch him in the chest?

    Also, he needs to start, we don't have much time left.

    one or more of those refs had money on boston

    you can't convince me otherwise. there's no excuse for a game being that poorly officiated

    where's ralph nader to call for an investigation?
