If we win this game....that run was the reason

DLo needs to have his minutes cut in this game. Not helpful on either end tonight.

That run looks like game. Ugly little stretch for LeBron.

Way out of rhythm offense, and GSW just getting everything they want in the paint. Not looking good

LeBron needs to avoid all jumpers except corner threes right now.

11-0 run after their timeout and Ham just sits on his hands.. they clearly had a thing going, should not have gone more than 6-0 before the timeout

Not sure how they’ll win again in Golden State. Definitely won’t be in game 5, maybe in game 7. But Warriors in 6 is looking like the most likely outcome at this moment.

We saw both ends of the LeBron spectrum so far in the 3rd quarter. Sigh

Why on earth are they incapable of winning game 5? Such a weird thing to say

His dump off passes are hit or miss. Don't think the Lakers have the mental energy to close this out

The Warriors have figured out how to attack the Lakers defense and you’re blind if you can’t see that. The only reason this isn’t a complete blowout is because the Warriors are missing open 3’s, which is very unlikely to happen at home.

They need a hot 3 minutes from DLo

Post #253 » by **zimpy27** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:44 am

Lakers scored 2 points in 3 minutes... You can't have cold patches like that with LeBron on the floor

Goddammit this looks rough

Post #255 » by **zimpy27** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:46 am

I still think Lakers win, they just need to hit shots. Offense looks easier than Warriors to me.

Absolutely wild that the Warriors got Gary Payton back somehow and now he’s starting in a playoff game.

Heej · Post #257 » by **Heej** » Tue May 9, 2023 3:47 am

LeBron not getting the call and Wiggins getting the transition lay is gonna end up a gut punch

You also said the Grizzlies series was over because they were clearly the better team in a game the Lakers up ended up winning and a series they won relatively easily, so forgive me if I take the doom and gloom with an eye roll. Both teams will continue to make adjustments. If GSW can lose a game 6 at home to Sacramento, they can lose a game 5 at home to LA.

Are we watching different games? The warriors literally have gotten an open 3 or wide open layup every possession.

If we lose tonight and game 5....no way do we lose game 6

Backs against the wall and I would BET that the officiating wouldn't allow us to get no whistles on these fouls
