They got sucked into the Warriors pace and kept putting 2 on the ball. Need to calm down and execute on Saturday or this series is cooked lmao
I don't get why we went away from the high drop
I rather even switch then do that weak ass hedgding vs GS, it doesn't **** work
I dont understand why u give Draymond a 4 on 3
4 pts for AD at the half is what did it as well
If they are going to go smaller, AD should DOMINATE on the other end at least

LAL took HCA. Obviously getting shredded in GM 2 isn't optimal, but on the plus side, Rui still looks locked in on offense, and more importantly, LeBron looked better physically than he has in weeks. Looked legit quick in the halfcourt. If that can continue...
Reaves is due to play better as he struggled in both games. Maybe he needs to get back to LA and get into a rhythm again. They need him.

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son

They are setting the pick higher, so if you drop Curry will walk into open 3s + too much space behind AD with Klay, Wiggins and other Green

Yeah but that's a lot attempts. If they make them inefficient inside the arc ala 2016 vs. OKC & CLE then great but this felt way too easy.

I don't really agree with the front runner comment however how are points in Q1 when the game is virtually tied meaningless? This makes no sense.

It doesn’t matter, but I don’t think you’ve made one. At least I haven’t seen you make one.
Great jumpshooting 1st half

The Warriors have shot 44% from 3 on massive volumes and the series is tied 1-1. I think the Lakers organisation would be happy to split those games given that sort of shooting is almost always a win for the Warriors.
If the Warriors can shoot that for the entire series then they will deservedly win the series. However, across a seven-game series you are likely to see plenty of volatility in three-point accuracy. In the series against the Kings, the Warriors had games where they shot below 30% from outside the arc.

Sure but they also need to guard the 3PT line better.

Who else do you guys like here as some realistic targets?
FVV opts in to player option for the trade.
Agent is Klutch, they organize to extend contract during season once on Lakers
Ehh, do we really need another small guard anyways?
Yeah I think so. I think Schröder will get decent offers and won't be kept.

AD used to be one of my favorite players but the taking every other game off thing has become so old this year. What a frustrating player.

I might be way off, but I think the Warriors have accumulated more open looks through the first two games vs the Lakers than the Kings.
Lakers are giving a sliver of space too often to Klay and Curry.

This forum is probably one of the biggest echo chambers on the internet. There’s 200 pages on Lebron this year while no other player has double digits
Most 4th Quarter Points in Final since 1991
1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)

I'm not a LeBron fan, but it is ironic how you're contributing to the page count.
And LeBron is the most discussed NBA player in any medium now.

Upgrade either the starting or backup 2 spot
Get a better backup C

Anthony Davis has not posted consecutive games of 20+ points this entire postseason
Wow....
Also, I consider a lineup change
Maybe put Dennis in the starting lineup instead of Reaves?
He hasn't looked right
