The Lakers Are Exhausted And Depleted And Probably Dead
It can seem a little cheesy and cherry-picked to focus much criticism on LeBron’s play-to-play effort for these fading Lakers.

The Cowardly Pelicans Use "Rest" To Yank Anthony Davis Out Of The Lakers Matchup

No NBA team has less of a right to complain about refereeing than the Houston Rockets, given how its two biggest stars have bought property in the gray areas of the rulebook.
