Very solid quarter from Lebron, nothing in the half court but very aggressive in transition

How does LeBron have 10/6/7? Lol much better 2nd quarter. Good to see Lakers getting to the line. Kind of an ugly slow half. It feels like the Lakers didn't play too great, but we're still up 11

Turns out the drop coverage doesn't work against GS. Whodathunkit?? Game changed once AD started showing up on ball off the pick n roll.

That was a pretty crazy and impressive defensive run along with some good transition offense mixing with some D-Lo shooting.

On another note, has there ever been a team that Mrs. many technical fouls free throws as the Lakers?

Some interesting things in the box score...

We're winning the 3 point battle. Both teams made 8 threes but we're shooting 42% and they're shooting 33%

Lakers have a depressing 1 offensive rebound compared to 7 for GSW. Really need to gain some extra possessions

Don't have much advantage in size cuz Vando and Rui are unplayble. Guards too scared of missing match ups back in transition

This thread has always been even handed calling out LeBron during games. People are crazy
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

I swear Draymond would have to throw a chair to get a second technical.

Why do they allow him to do this ****? Just on the basis of setting a good example for younger players, you would think the refs or Kerr would clamp down on his antics. He's been in the league 11 years. There's no reason he should still be behaving this way.
It's the enabling that allows him to do **** like stepping on another player's chest 7 years after he got himself suspended in the finals.

Would be nice if it was just Looney. They're getting outworked by everyone. 13 more shot attempts isn't due to 10 mins of Looney

Is it me or does DLo frequently throw passes at people's ankles?

The more DLo dribbles, the higher the probability he'll do something stupid.

I dunno whether to be happy AD showed up tonight or sad that I know he'll definitely disappear next game.

At least since he chose to show up in game 1 we should get good AD for 4/7 games this series.
