All right, here we go. It is sports graffiti time. Let's jump to the phones. One line open 877710 ESPN. Let's start with, huh, let's start with Joe and

0:42.0

Newport Beach. Joe, you're on sports graffiti. What's up, man? Hey, guys, how you doing? Good, man.

0:47.1

Good, Joe. Okay, so I got a bone to pick with Emily. Last week after game one, she said the

0:53.4

Lakers were lucky to win. And one of the stats

0:56.4

that she pointed to was the Rockets out offense rebound on the Lakers, 21 to 3. But that stat,

1:04.8

that stat is nuanced because if you think about it, the Lakers shot 61% from the field.

1:11.9

And I looked at the numbers, they only missed 26 shots in the entire game.

1:16.0

So there were fewer offensive rebounds available.

1:18.4

On the other side, the Rockets shot 38%.

1:22.2

They missed 53 shots.

1:24.9

So 21 to 3, you know, basically it's not as important a stat as points. Lakers made baskets. They made points. And so I just didn't like the unlucky thing. The other thing I wanted to talk about was Mason brought it up. Is Sangoon ever going to get called for throwing elbows? That's all he does. He does his way to the basket. Yeah, it's weird. He is. He's just a big kind of clawed going.

1:47.1

I mean, it's footwork as a mate, but he's just like, it's an offensive foul every

1:50.7

time he goes to the rack.

1:51.6

Right.

1:51.9

And then last night they called him for an over the back foul.

1:54.2

He jumped over Aiton's back.

1:55.5

And then he complained about it.

1:57.4

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't get it. I will say the Lakers in game one were sloppy with their turnovers. And I think it's more the turnovers than the offensive rebounds. And I think also they were shooting so well that that's almost lucky. All right. To your point, they've had 43 turnovers in the last two games. Yeah, ridiculous. They've got to clean that up. Right, and LeBron's got eight plus and two consecutive games for the first time in his playoff.
