Draymond, Payton, and Moody shot 4/5 from 3 and LA only down 4 isn't so bad IMO.

Yeah, but Vanderbilt played 7 minutes in game 4 for a specific reason, so it wasn't that complicated to figure out.

But I agree, people here are scapegoating Ham every time Lakers play **** as a team, even if it's on LeBron (like today's beginning).

Withstood Warriors best shot and in it. Survived Bron on bench minutes. Steph rarely ever has B2b "best player on the floor" level playoff games hes not that guy. Lakers can absolutely close tonight

Lakers offensive attack is simple here. Bum hunt the f out of Poole.

Everyone on the Lakers gets calls besides LeBron it’s honestly amazing.

DLo is just as hard to watch as Westbrook was on most nights. No brains.

He’s lucky he’s talented and is a heckuva shot maker. Because I agree 100%.

DLo a moron

Ham has 3 awful defenders in what is he doing

Reffing is a joke tonight

Feels like the league called the refs tonight to extend this one

Starting Vandy after what he saw last time basically spotted them 10-12 points. They had a chance to stabilize after going up 45-42, but Wiggins got some soft calls.

Reaves has been awful on both ends.

RRR3 · Post #574 » by **RRR3** » Thu May 11, 2023 3:01 am

Klay push off no call.

Embarrassing if you can’t win the non Steph minutes

RRR3 · Post #576 » by **RRR3** » Thu May 11, 2023 3:10 am

Reffing is a complete joke.

I expected a blowout tonight and it will become one in the 3rd qtr.

On to Game 6....that's LA's season right there. Thankfully GS doesn't shoot anything like this on the road.

This is a close game with fair reffing.

Lakers have been very resilient this game: Warriors making 30 footers left and right, getting the calls, and still had it at 56-54 with the ball at 4:00, and even 64-59 with the ball with 1:00 but played the worst last minute you can that’s going to cost them this game. First 4 minutes and last minute of the half saw the Warriors +18. The other 19 minutes had the Lakers +7.

Ya'll have became far too emo over the years. Once LeGoat wins a ship this season ya'll will be more relaxed. 3 years is a long time, I get it.
