Surprised they are resting him against Denver as surely they'd rather play them in the 1st round than the Clippers.

Edit: did not realize they sild back into the 7th seed.

Luka is generally in the ear of officials all game and he gets frustrated and curses at the refs when the game is going poorly, even if the call is right.

That said, his two techs against the Kings were weak. One was for saying "hell no" and one was for shooting a full-court shot after a timeout (which he does 5x a game, but the ref interpreted it as frustration bc Rick got ejected).

Russ also has 14 techs IIRC

Last night on a defensive rebound he clearly put both arms around Marvin Bagley's waist as the latter went up for a rebound. Marvin stumbled to the floor after and got the call. Luke did some exasperated "no way!" pout around the court after that. It's a small thing but if he's bitching about the most obvious, low stakes calls all the time then I can see officials just getting fed up and whistling up even normally unoffensive stuff when they get irritated enough.

The worst thing about LeBron not getting vaccinated is all the awful Sixers fans posts it inspired today.

I think he legitimately can’t go. The Lakers made a run at the end of the game yesterday and he still did not come back in.

I think this is it, he reigned it in for a while, but every game is so important now that when he's losing he can't help it. I mean, I can relate, I'm a giant baby about this stuff too

After the game Luka said "I won't get another one. Don't worry." Amazing.

Yup. Luka is amazing to watch, but he's top of the NBA at bitching about calls non-stop.

Just a general question but preseason I put down the lakers would repeat based on the fact it was time to stop doubting LBJ; if asked that question today I wouldn’t put them even getting to the conference finals.

How many other flip floppers are in this thread?

Father Time might have come for LeBron's ankle. Even if he gets better, it might be hard for him to be in playoff conditioning mode since he has never missed this much time in his career. It has typically been foolish to bet against LeBron's health but I worry we might be done seeing LeBron regularly play like LeBron.
