    My final prediction before the ball rolls out tonight: OKC in 5.

    Win will either be tonight, because this is the most rested we're going to be. OR if we don't win tonight Bron unloads the clip in game 4 to stave off the sweep and then game 5 we lose by 30.

    I think we win 2 and lose a close one. If Austin, Deandre, and Rui come to play tonight, we can win game 1.

    last time when LeBron was big underdog like today in Final vs GSW in 2018 and we all know that J R Smith lost the game.
    Today there's nobody like JR on the Lakers roster

    This is a crazy amount of flopping for one quarter of basketball

    even with lebron, smart, and rui being the only ones to show up, they were in it pretty late into the game

    okc's just too good. let's hope they can at least steal one

    It's too bad Luka can't go and AR just came back from injuries because :

    1) Lakers would have had a shot at making this an interesting series with J Dub out

    2) This series would have exposed what the Lakers really miss roster wise .

    It still does but I'm afraid Pelinka is going to go with the " Luka and AR were injured " argument.

    It's true but he can't overlook others weaknesses .
