Yes, but he was still working on his shot that season.   He was chucking like mutha and not hitting.     He wasn't rebounding or playing D like this either.    Having a superstar to draw a lot of attention getting you wide open looks helps a lot.   He was TERRIBLE with the Lakers.

36.5% vs 34.5%, his shot is improving but not like it took some huge leap this year.  Maybe it's he has a more defined role along with his shot continuing to improve.  He probably felt like he had to do a little too much with a young and below average Lakers squad last year.  When he first came in the league, he was looked at as a foundational player, now he's a role player and seems to have adjusted well.  At his height, he's still a terrible rebounder, it's freakish (single digit TRB%).

Oh yeah.   One of my friends is a Laker fan and I would clown him after every game about how few rebounds Lopez had.

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

Or maybe...... a bat bit him!

With expected 3 point fg% they don't get all those offensive rebounds and second chance points.

With normal 3pt shooting performances, Houston would be playing tonight as the defending champions.

Dude, sack up. It’s easy to hate that goldbricking shithead when you remember last season. HE FUCKING QUIT ON HIS TEAM DURING THE SEASON AND THEY HAD TO BEG HIM TO PARTICIPATE AND HE BECAME A LITTLE BITCH AND DISAPPEARED AND HID FROM SPURS SUPPORT STAFF AMONGST OTHER BULLSHIT. Let the hate flow through you.

Yeah but he brought us one more moent of glort for Pop/the Big 3. It's a he-rapes-but-he-saves situation.

I tend to think of it as a crackhead that got into the wrong stuff situation.

Can’t wait for the new season of Claws and Animal Kingdom to start.

America is dying 

[PittsburghTiger 6210]

Gasol, Lowry & Green a combined 6/25 tonight with another quarter to play

[Underdog 28807]

Things I learned today:  Tyreke Evans and Jodi Meeks are/ were still in the league. 

[NowThis 931]

too bad Pau Gasol is out for the Bucks otherwise we'd have Brother vs. Brother II  (Curry).

Imagine the hype of dueling Bro vs Bro in mirror image conference finals.  Where are the Gasol parents?

btw, if Pau, age 38, wins the title - his 3rd ring, he's retiring right?

Used this to convince myself -10 +180 was a good deal.  Thanks.

LOL @ expecting Houston to play at their regular season level when it counts...

That was the joke.

I don't like using "that's what they coulda/woulda/shoulda shot" data when it comes to playoff basketball.

Yes I caught you making fun of that exact thought process.  Still thought it was funny, but not laughing ‘at’ you...

[Machinator 32099]

Marc Gasol has done some really stupid shit this series.

[Brothahorn 10087]

Does Toronto not have any one on the bench that can play better than Green? At some point you have to let it go.

[NowThis 931]

i hope ISIS gets rid of Drake and that annoying Turban fan under the bucket.  Do something useful for once ISIS, I beg you.

MIL is going to win. KL leg is damaged (will that hurt his FA too?)

What the fuck?

[Mitch Cumsteen 18598]

Toronto is choking so hard. They should have had this game won three different times. Have to think bucks are big favorites with Lowry and Powell out.

To be fair, Drake really does fucking suck.

[XYZ 2154]

Siakam fucking sucks.

[NowThis 931]

we are witnessing the end of the Toronto hopes and dreams for another 10-20 years. The climax is this game.  They're dead for a generation if they lose tonight. 

[Machinator 32099]

Giannis fouls out. Now this gets interesting.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8823]

Damn.. Giannis fouls out

[PittsburghTiger 6210]

Leonard strained his knee on the landing.

Ah, didn't see the beginning.

[hundredTT 578]

Bledsoe is such trash. Brogdan must be really recovering for them to play that ball hog scrub 

[NowThis 931]

Lopez is dumb, yet makes plays

[NowThis 931]

Brogdon should be the starting PG for OKC.  

[NowThis 931]

we all saw that Siakam block a mile away. Lopez should have found someone in the corner. Know your limitations fool! 

[AeroHorn 755]

Kawhi dribbles little bit like Drexler, looking down ready to be picked by double teamer.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18598]

Jesus Kawhi is unbelievable. Fuck him. Nice to see him playing through pain. Asshole.

thanks

[Pam Cummings 9686]

Gotta hand it to Toronto, they had to have it and gutted it out.

[AeroHorn 755]

yeah, that double dribble was egregious.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8823]

Dont care who wins.. want more games to look forward to

[Blotto 23585]

Drake is a clown. I root against Toronto because of that tool.

[SilasCoade 2622]

Van Vleet is not an NBA level player, how were they riding with him so much of the game?

 

Siakam almost blew the game early on by trying to be a one-on-one hero (not talking about the missed free throws). Know your limitations.

[Zavala 1384]

Bucks still take this series, then get smacked by the Warriors.

[Vic Mackey 47182]

This is such a chicken shit answer when people do this. Trying to minimize the profession they have and patting themselves on the back for stuff they do off the court. That wasn't the question here.

[SilasCoade 2622]

nm not necessary

but it was funny

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Seems like an honest answer.  If he had said a simple "no", what would be the reaction?

In other words...it was a bad game. Move on. We all have them.
