Being an Edmonton Oilers fan in the playoffs is the equivalent of starting a weight loss plan with a sleeve of Oreos and a fistful of Ozempic pens.

If you're Nico Harrison and you hear the talk about the Lakers suffering for lack of depth, lack of size up front, needing to be better on defense, and needing to be in better shape next season, do you:

1) thump your chest and say hell yeah
2) quietly light a candle and do a little dance
3) ignore the chatter and move on

If I'm Nico? Option 2.

I don't see how there's a win for Nico in the Lakers' defeat. There would be if the Mavericks went deep into the playoffs this season, but that stopped being a possibility when Kyrie blew up his knee while being played for more minutes than anybody else in the league.

He should be fired already. I've never seen a fan reaction as enraged and sustained as Mavs fans. He literally hides in the tunnel at home games.
