I'd be shocked if that happened. That's like resting players for game 6 when you're up 3-2 which is pretty stupid considering any bad team can win a single game.

I think that in 3 days we will start to read that Curry plays for a super team if Warriors win a possible matchup against Lakers

The Lakers, on the other hand, are a 1-2 seed in the 7 spot due to injuries.

This is a huge mismatch that ESPN is trying to blow up.



Anything can happen in one game....Remember the lakers lost their game 1 last year vs Blazers(and Rockets)especially with LBJ who will surely not be at his best

Except that time they didn't. Warriors beat the Lakers in January. Your memory is incorrect.

I remember we lost, but I cant remember if Lebron and AD played.
edit I remember this was the game that we choked in the 4th. I believe we had a big lead and gave it away in the end.

Both had played ... The lakers had dominated this game after 3 quarter but they had a collapse in the fourth quarter after a 14 point lead with like 8 minutes to go

Anything can happen in a 1 game series. Cavs had the biggest offensive game in history in the 2017 Finals. They lost the series 1-4. They has no business winning a single game, but it happened.

Lakers are a super team if completely healthy, however they’re limping in and the Warriors are firing on all cylinders with Curry playing incredible. I think Golden State takes this, can’t wait.

Yes. But they knew it was a game 1. This isn’t a normal game 1.

Lakers stars missed many games and may be rusty.
Warriors are playing better now then in Jan.

It's looking like Mavs/Blazers/Lakers will all finish 42-30. What is the seeding in that scenario?

Mavs won the division, so they clinched the 5 seed. Portland with a win is the 6 seed.

Looks like Lakers vs Warriors is happening.

Anyone who thinks Bron is losing to Steph in a sink or swim game is absolutely delusional

Didn't that happen 3 out of 4 times in the finals?
I guess 2 of those times had my guy KD dropping a game clinching 3 in his face.
