Thanks DB for another phenomenal season! 💜💛
Your Basketball IQ is the equivalent to Anthony Marshon Davis in this past series versus the nuggets. As he averaged 33 ppg, 16 rpg, 2-3 blocks 💜💛
For the remainder of these playoffs, Nikola will not face another big with the same talent and ferocity AD has.
I guarantee The Joker is going to really destroy the rest of the way more than likely to a second championship 💪🏀💪 |

I agree with this. The free throws really cost us the game.
Ultimately, we competed very well against a team that quite simply has our number -- a team with size, efficiency borne from CONTINUITY, and the current best player in the world. |
I agree… free throws really did cost us the game. I was saying that to myself as we missed more and more. DLO and others not being hot from three was also cost us. Overall, I thought we really out played them (again), but if we miss wide open shots and free throws, we lose. |

Differences is the little things and details that separate contenders from champions.
Missed FTs, DLo's inconsistencies on defense&offense/sloppy passes, Rui disappearing/not getting boards (he only had 4 in Game 5), Vanderbilt/CWood's injuries forced Ham into Small Ball, reliance on Prince as their best defender and Not Knowing How to Win/Lack of a Killer Spirit/Not Having a Take No Prisoner Attitude resulting in losing Game 2 and not getting many 50/50 balls/limiting Nuggets' Second Chance points were strategic factors |

Thanks for reminding me. I agreed to an event a while back and didn't even think about a potential schedule conflict with the playoffs. So the final write-up bit the dust as I didn't get home until late. I like to give thanks to the fam in that.
Much love to Mrs. DB and daughter, who sacrifice all season. I load managed like LeBron this season to make sure it wasn't as taxing as usual, but it still a lot. They are the best and always go above and beyond for me when it comes to the Lakers. |
