The usual proposed solutions to these problems create new problems of their own. While I agree that most nights we have more than enough, to win a championship we need that every night against the top teams. A guy (or two) who are better than the other team’s best. We just aren’t going to have that against some of the top teams we need to go through. We don’t have that unstoppable element Denver has or Phoenix has or Milwaukee has. Would any of the top guys on those teams go scoreless in a half of a big game? The difference between a good scorer and a great scorer is what tilts championship favor. This was a game they publicly stated they had circled and they basically lost wire to wire. Just feels like we are a class below the top. |
Jokic went scoreless in the second half against the Wolves in the 2023 playoffs. Ironically, he also went scoreless in the second half against the Lakers on 02/14/21.
Booker went scoreless in the second half against the Pelicans in the 2022 playoffs. He also scored 1 point in the second half against the Nuggets in the 2023 playoffs.
It happens. This was AD's first scoreless second half since 01/25/22 against the Nets. He's had 5 total as a Laker. Oddly, 3 of the 5 came during the 2019-2020 championship season. |

Fair enough. I still don’t think he’s the kind of scorer those guys are. It’s disheartening he came up lame in a game the two stars both talked up as important for them. You have to deliver if you’re going to do that.
