JJ Redick:
"For us to be written off a few weeks ago and win a playoff series is a big deal. It speaks to the character of our team and the leaders of our team, that they didn't let go of the rope."
This is the first playoff series win for JJ Redick, who said his word of choice would be "Gratitude."
He said he's thankful for the Lakers organization, for the players, for his coaching staff and the larger staff, all of whom contributed so much.
LeBron James on Game 1 against the Thunder not being until Tuesday because the East having two Game 7s on Sunday:
"Thank you Toronto, Thank you RJ Barrett... I'm happy."
Austin Reaves on LeBron:
“I told him ‘You’re insane - the stuff you’re doing is … not normal.’ Age, whatever, he’s been in the league for 23 years, the way he controls the game? It’s impressive. I don’t think you can say with words how special (it is). I’m happy I don’t have to play against him.”
Reaves threw the Rockets defensive gameplan for a loop
Rui stopped pump-faking threes like he's not the top 5 shooter
Bron's steroids kicked in after two games looking old
Bigs dominated Sengun, low turnovers, killed the boards
They put everything together tonight
LeBron James:
"At this stage of my career, I think I've talked about just living in the moment a little bit more and being OK with celebrating the small victories.
I think we should be proud of the way we played, the way we handled this.
This is our first time in a playoff series together as a unit and obviously being without our MVP candidate and without AR for the first four games, we had some obstacles obviously.
And I know they were out a couple of their guys as well. But I thought we answered the call, I thought we answered the challenge.
For them to allow me to lead them, that means a lot to me."
is luka coming back or not
The treatment he had in Spain did not speed up his recovery sadly.
The original timeline for his injury was 4-6 weeks.
We're approaching week 5 so just wait another week.
He might be available for game 5 or 6 against OKC but Lakers could easily get swept so he might not come back at all.
