@zjcvols did you catch this?

Russillo: the biggest stat in this Knicks/C's game was that Brunson had 0 FTA's.

[2 minutes pass]

Simmons: do you think Brunson is the biggest flopper in the NBA? [complains about all the different ways he manipulates the refs]

Russillo: yeah, he's 1st team all-NBA flopping, but again, 0 FTA's today.

Mitchell performed at an All-NBA level last night, imo.

Jaden Springer to the Jazz

42 points in 19 shots has to be pretty high to there.. LaVine had one

Poor DK didn’t stand a chance trying to guard Klay lol

Luka with the Triple Double now has a triple double vs Every NBA Franchise.

“When James is on the court, the Lakers have a plus/minus of -132, which is the 13th worst in the NBA. An ever bigger sign that the Lakers are worse with James is that when he is on the court, their net rating is -8.15, but without him, it’s +6.54.”

Well, he's +100 since we talked about this. Every time we try to pour dirt on him...it's crazy.

He really got him with that shot fake on the 2nd one, but the first one was not DK's fault. Hachimura was so far out of position that DK thought he had switched.

This may be true but it didn't take J.J. very long to sub DK out when Klay started bombing away...

And Klay made another one 30 seconds later. Knecht played 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and that was the Lakers final sub with 7' left. It was just time for the crunch time lineup.

Two things can be true, DK is a very good scorer and not a very good defender. Hey, Luka isn't a World Beater on defensive end either but that doesn't make him suck as a player.

I'm not even talking about whether or not he's good at D. I'm just talking about what happened.
