Win game six.

There's going to be a lot of pressure on some pretty fragile pieces of this Lakers rotation to perform really well in a game seven, including Aiton Kennard, who was just invisible last night, and all the players we mentioned.

Ultimately, I think Reeves and LeBron are going to be enough to steal one of these last two games.

But yeah, it is a dicey situation for legacy talk on the A block or first take if this happens.

Tariq's mom is not one on my Twitter.

I'll make sure to change that today.

But maybe it was a touching tribute to Marcus Smart, who was playing just with a boneheaded late game shot choice.

You know, Marcus has made a few of those in his Boston days.

But yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Like, there's a chance that Marcus Smart has the ball with 2.8 seconds left in game six.

And the Lakers are going to need somebody to make a play.

So I am not...

I am not saying the Lakers have got this thing by any means.

I would just... If I had to pick them, Zach, I would pick them.

Obviously, they have two chances to do it.

Yeah, a lot of double teams, right?

It feels like Houston figured it out and they kept throwing them at him.

But again, like JJ has found some defensive competence in a group that I had very low expectations for.

So keep junking it up, JJ.

Yeah, you made the joke about OKC being in Cancun between the series.
