He can go get them anywhere in the world, but here, look at all this losing.

That is a lot of losing for an all-time great.

It's why he will forever pale in the shadow of LeBron.

As that guy does.

I don't even mean this to desecrate Kevin Durant.

Please pay respect to all of the dinosaur in him that at that height will forever make basketball look beautiful.

But that team he was supposed to be the final piece for.

And I'm sitting here watching and injured or not,

The Lakers don't have two of their best players.

Your favorites in both of these games, nobody expects.

Do you know how infrequently LeBron enters the playoffs with no expectations?

This playoff series started with nobody expecting the Lakers to win because how could they?

Tony did because that is playoff experience.

Marcus Smart has played in a thousand of these games.

But it wasn't defense last night.

I didn't think Marcus Smart had that game in him anymore.

Did anybody?

But did anyone think that Marcus Smart had the game on both ends of the court where he would be LeBron's wingman?

I mean...

Canard?
