I'm still watching the game like everyone else, but its so clear to me that Lebron, at age 41, is still better than Reaves.

Reaves is also avging 16ppg each of the last 3 playoff runs NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

What is he doing tonight?...... I digress, back to watching the game... its actually about to be half time... I just hope we think long and hard who we prioritize this summer. You become a real Laker in the playoffs and Reaves has huge shoes to fill

I know we are celebrating Denver being eliminated. But I think we need to seriously lock in and look ourselves in the mirror to understand what the future will be like.

- OKC is essentially a young warriors dynasty of young effective and ruthless players. Shai, Cason, Jdub, Chet, CaruShow, Ajay… They have a team that will be here for YEARS

- Spurs… Wemby

- Now Minnesota in the future will have Jaden Mcdaniels, Ant, Randle, Gobert… All in their prime

Not even mentioning Houston(in the future), or what Denver will do in the future.

These are 3 teams that will be fighting us ruthlessly in the future. Jaden Mcdaniels is gaining confidence game by game and I’m afraid of what the future will be like….

Austin Reaves really needs to step up in these playoffs. We can’t afford to miss out on the future giving him a Giga Max contract. We have a top 3-4 player in Luka and we have to maximize the team around him because the teams we will face will be deadly in the future.

Games like last night give players like Jaden confidence forever. Some players are never the same again. This kid might be a 3 and D player with like 25ppg in the future with Ant and Randle and Gobert. The west is getting giga dangerous
