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

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.

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.

Everybody in such a hurry to call this series. I don't get it.

Wow wtf. A 10-0 lakers run to an 11-0 GS run

Our defense got carved up tonight

Why didn't we continue to toplock shooters and play high drop

This garbage hedging is the worst option

Just a layup line

Side note, Dlo has been AWFUL

Would truly love if we could get Kyrie instead

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

Maybe? I see better quality shots for Lakers available.

Man... Some of these threes feel from Bron feel back breaking for the Lakers. No reason to take it with 8 seconds on the game clock. Got lucky curry missed that deep three to end the quarter.

At least we're still in the game. AD needs to take over

Agree to disagree then because I see the opposite.

LeBron cannot hit a shot besides the corner 3. I’ve been waiting for it to come back at some point but doesn’t look like it will until next season.

2-8 from 3 on mostly good looks. Simply not going to cut it because lord knows he can't really create much offense in the half-court.

GS getting a lot of good looking 3s and 1st half was a legit layup line

We are missing some good 3s too

5/20 from 3 (2/8 for Bron) won't cut it....

This summer, regardless of what happens, I want another shooter at the minimum, if not 2

Brutal game from lebron imo

Yeah LeBron has been rough tonight. Needs to either redeem himself this quarter or hope to get bailed out by the team.

It's looked decent when he's kept it simple, but these contested threes and headlong drives have been awful.

Stretches of good, very good, lazy, and very bad tbh

23, 7 and 5 but not super efficient. 10/23 and 3 TOs...

Gona need someone to make some 3s for us too

That Lonnie 3 felt huge

IG2 · Post #278 » by **IG2** » Tue May 9, 2023 4:06 am

We didn't see this Lonnie coming did we now....
