Coming out like that on Steph screens always a fail

Don't really know that yet. He's 0-1 from 3

0/5 on jumpers + sloppy defensively.

Very bad start by LA on defense, they are lucky GS missing shots

It's interesting - Warriors' strategy is largely working to get AD out of the paint and get them easy 2's, but by nature of being 2's rather than 3's its also limiting their ability to go on those explosive runs that get them lots of separation on the scoreboard.

Even Davis today

They took 17 3s already

Yeah but the majority of them aren't coming from Steph & Klay. Certainly some of them have been too open, but I think you have to live with Poole, DDV, etc. shooting those

Lakers need to find an adjustment for these high pick-and-rolls, Warriors cooking them

Mos_Heat · Post #230 » by **Mos_Heat** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:08 am

Looks like game 2, minus GS 3 point shooting

dreamshake · Post #231 » by **dreamshake** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:08 am

Bad challenge, he wasn't there in time. That'll stand.

What a waste of a challenge

The defensive rebound and has been absolute garbage giving up key points.

Warriors are gonna break the dam open in the 3rd. It's too obvious Lakers ready to fold

Schroeder, Reaves, LeBron, Vando, Davis -- Rui

These guys have been doing their job today to a degree that I trust them in the second half. Just run that squad in the second half and spot minute Dlo to see if he can get hot.

This show on the screen is getting killed. There's no recovery and the only guy making a good X out on closeouts is Lonnie Walker lmao. No one's making multiple efforts in and out of the paint

90% chance this happens – I’d be shocked if it doesn’t.

Heej · Post #239 » by **Heej** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:20 am

Are they tryna let Steph get his and shut down everyone else? And hope he gasses out. Cuz this is the only explanation i see lmao

I don't think it will. I think Lakers win this game. LeBron will take them home.

Warriors smash 3rd quarters at home with their own gadgets in their half time rooms.
