This is pretty much what GSW has gotta do against LA with only a couple of turnovers. Now we'll see if they can still keep that same energy again on the road. No fucking around against a team that may not have as much energy as SAC but has a little more playoff experience with LeBron & AD, who could turn back into top 5 players in a given night.


LeBron won't do shit about his worldview and conspiracy theories.

Kyrie is genuinely limited by his own agendas.
If they lose this series, do you think they'll try to get Kyrie? Because even when Shams or Woj say they're not interested, I just have that feeling they'll go there unless Jeanie actually steps in lol

If warriors can stop fouling lakers like this game... gonna be hard series for Lakers
Lakers better pray refs hold their hands



That is probably the 2nd worst call/non call I have ever witnessed watching the NBA, LBJ had his entire body facing the ref I'd believe he was setting a screen for Casper before I believe he was in legal guarding position.

The worst non call ever was when KD was in the stands eating popcorn with the fans and he wasn't called out of bounds, when Warriors were facing the Rockets a couple years back. The KD Warriors agenda was in full effect back then. That play still gets me rolling on the floor from laughter.

I was actually so happy Harden hit the 3 to beat the refs lmao. Shit was egregious, its like KD was doing everything to make sure he wasn't in bounds, not a single fiber on his body managed to touch the inside of the court even after his 7 foot ass fell lmfao, dude could have grabbed a seat and watched the game with the fans.
 
As much as I don't like AD's Tic Tac Toe performances I can't say that he will get eaten up or something. I feel like this series will have few more turns and twists.

His unstable performances gonna give me a heart attack at some point.

+ I was about to say this but @ZenZu was already typing it from what it seems.

Did you notice that Klay basically confirmed during halftime interview that they just revisited their scheme from Game 1? Lmao.

1:1 on the road is good tho. Golden State has a bad track record on the road and this may bite them.

I won't be surprised if it's another 7 games long series.
It ain’t just AD though, it seems like he can’t sustain that level of offense every game with the amount of energy he expends on defense. Lebron has been bricking from 3 the whole playoffs and guys like Reaves and Hachimura were bailing him out but Reaves has been pretty quiet vs the Warriors, man didn’t even attempt to score on Klay in Game 1. If AD is off and Lebron isn’t efficient with Reaves getting shut down, they’re bound to lose.

I think the Lakers might have to consider starting Schroeder vs Curry, low key the only other option you got on defense with Vanderbilt getting stuck on screens especially if Reaves is going to struggle. The spacing gonna be trash but it already is low key trash lol. That or Reaves plays better when they get home.

I got the Warriors in 6-7, they’re just the better team overall with less weaknesses to exploit than the Lakers.
