Is it me or you that needs glasses? I rewind and see it is Jimmy on Luka.

We just need to defend Rui and Reaves better, they cant score 55 against us. Other than that pretty good game. JK Podz best game of the season.

LA with AD was a mismatch for GS, Luka, who is a better player isn't nearly as big of a mismatch when you have many good defensive bodies to throw at him.


I think Steph also very much enjoys getting Luka on a switch instead of AD :lol:


That is what I was hoping after the trade. I love AD's game. AD is a killer with midget ball.

He's talking about the 2 on 1 under the basket, not Butler guarding Luka.

Jimmy was on Luka but Draymond got the strip.

Nice win. But, LeBron, Reaves and Hachimura had their way with the Dubs (a combined 29 of 50 overall and 17 of 30 from three). It was their bench that killed the Lakers tonight (a putrid 3 of 15 overall and 1 of 11 from three). If these teams meet in the playoffs, the Dubs are going to have to tighten up their perimeter defense.

The Luka/AD trade made the Lakers a better overall team to most teams, not so much to GS, it helped them since they have bodies to throw at LeBron, Luka and Reeves, not so much with AD.

GP2 will help greatly with Reeves if they play again this year.

I'm shocked that the refs didn't throw the game to LA. Luckily we got Fat Luka. Podz is the real deal. Curry was amazing. And I was completely wrong about Santos being better than JK. I can't believe that Kerr let Kuminga close over Moody, and JK finished well. Hopefully this game is a turning point for him.

So keys to success: Have Podz shoot 80% on 3's, Dray shoot 50% on 3's, and send Steph to the FT line 14 times. Kerr just needs to put that in every gameplan!

They needed this win however they could get it.

If this kind of pattern was more common, they be threatening at least 55-60 wins.
