G5 against Memphis once again: disappointed, but not surprised. We'll see where Lakers will go with this mentality, LeBron probably didn't notice he's not in his prime anymore, so it's not a given they'll close this series out at home.

This is Haam spotting the Warriors a 10 point lead by being an idiot. You already know Vanderbilt doesn’t work when they are small because he Fs up the spacing.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "decision making"

This game is already **** over
PATHETIC
It all started when we gave up those couple of offensive boards that led to a DRAYMOND 3
Then Vando and Reaves drop it out of bounds...leads to a Wiggins 3
Then a GP2 three.....

Yep, a 5 point deficit is too much to come back from in . . . 40 minutes.

You can tell off the energy
I was typing this earlier, but it stands
I had a feeling we would get the lazy lethargic sloppy lakers early
If its a 5 point game at the half, then its winnable

Me screaming at the TV and all my group chats in the 3rd quarter. Take Vanderbilt out for the love of god.
The Lakers are actually straight up better than this team if they are getting a good AD game. Just give him space to allow ADs gravity to do the work.

Ham is still great, but he fell into a trap of not adjusting while winning games, apparently, Vanderbilt is useless in this matchup.

In fairness, I doubt you'll find many (any?) coaches across the league that would change their starting lineup after winning 3 of the last 4, including the last 2 in a row with the same starting 5.

7 3's for them already. Every teams shoots better at home but with GS it's even more pronounced. Hope it's not another 20+ 3pt night.

Moody makes two 3s and the Lakers have 1 total (the fluky bank 3 by Reaves)
