Zaslow

When we spend all season long complaining about the guys in that sport who don't care?

He was like, Zas, you can't hear me?

And you go, yes.

The fire's looking good, though.

Definitely someone else's fault.

That couch could catch on fire.

Please repeat that story for him.

Just one more time.

When we take, go.

Third time's the charm.

And it's funny, we thought, oh, all right, I guess the Lakers do have enough to beat Houston, especially without KD.

And then as the physicality has ratcheted up game after game, it's like, oh, wait a second.

Maybe the guys that we were counting on for the Lakers to actually do that are not doing that.

Obviously, Luka's still waiting in the wings.

We'll see if it gets to a game seven, if he makes an appearance.

But Austin Reeves played...

34 minutes last night, LeBron had 27-7-7.

The ingredients were there for the Lakers to win and eliminate the Rockets, and it just didn't happen.

So to the thought that you had, Dan, which is if LeBron can do this, he can beat the Rockets, this would be the greatest thing of his career, or whatever it is he said, better than Michael Jordan, or whatever it was, the take you had.

Hey, Roy, buddy.
