28 free throw attempts by the Lakers compared to 6 by the warriors. There’s your game. If the Lakers will get an advantage like that it will be a Lakers series win.

AD committed something like 3 uncalled fouls down the stretch. Lakers got possession when it should have been a jump.

It's all rigged. It has been for years and it's been obvious.

If rigging keeps the warriors out of the finals, let’s do it.

They played a good game, this cry baby thing looks dumb. Warriors are also the NBA's golden child, no reason for the league to rig this

Lakers are going to "win" it all.

I wish we could play defense and with intensity like the Lakers. They are old, but they know how to bring it when it matters.

Lakers made all the right moves at the trade deadline, while we made none...Pretty sure we could have had Vanderbilt...SMH, No. 18 coming this year for our rivals.

I looked? Warriors were the worst team in the league in generating FTAs. Why should I be surprised?

That’s what happens when one team takes 25 threes, and the other team takes 53.

Lebron is old. The rest of the team isn’t.

Reggie Miller had a terribly annoying voice but the State Farm “personally… not a fan” and the Wendy’s “you’re not getting that next door!” lines make me laugh about every other time.

Highest seed to win nba title is 6th seed houston rockets in 1995. Lakers would unseed that.

Yeah I will admit I severely underestimated the lakers. I didn't pay close attention to them post trade deadline. Looking at all the teams in the west right now minus the suns and um..... yikes lol. Well hopefully that will be a problem to worry about later.
