      Lakers don't win 2020 without the refs. Thank them first and foremost. Should've lost to Lillard in round 1 and got bailed out by probably the worst and most biased refereeing I have seen in decades of watching basketball...
      Also, before you try to argue, just go watch the series. I'm a Nets fan, and it was clear as day they were rigging it so LeBron could have a ring in LA.
