They aren't getting any love from the refs against OKC. Also they have to get through Minny first.

Dubs have been playing with Butler like they have been for years. They have the chemistry unlike the Lakers.

Wolves are cooked. Lakers didn't have a DPOY level player like Green either.

He gonna Somber Shuffle him to oblivion

The best whistle in NBA history

Not gonna lie, the GWS home crowd is one of the worst/most extremely irritating in the NBA (probably number 1)

Heaps of Silicon/Bitcoin Valley Boomers.

Good luck to them though, Warriors played like garbage and still won though.

Didn't think Podziemski was going to be the guy to carry the Warriors, what a game.

Butler is just awesome, i dont know how any fan of basketball could dislike him

Can’t wait for Ant Man to knock Steph out of the playoffs and hopefully gobert kicks draymond

Ime with absolutely no plan in offense at times, that inbound for the Alpie iso... Like come one that's what you drew up?

When did anyone claim otherwise? Lol.

Jokic is the greatest offensive player alive.

If Kyrie didn't bail LeBron out in 2016 and AD didn't join the Lakers, LeBron would have just 2 titles.

Ray Allen also bailed him out in 2013. So he only has 1 in 2012. But that was a shortened season too. So more like 0.75 legitimate championships for Bron.

Ime Udoka has some questions to answer with that ATO play call. What was the idea here? Going directly against Draymond isn't to bright to begin with, but I cannot imagine a turn-around free throw line hook shoot is the best you can come up with.

thats what the Clippers get for beating the Warriors in the last game of the season lol

We can all go back to that Harrison Barnes buzzer beating 3 as well. First round pairings would have been very different. Someone would have "lucked out" in drawing with the Rockets. Or the Lakers who'd have drawn the Warriors (maybe a better match up, rather than Wolves). Or Nuggets might have gotten the Wolves too (Wolves prefer the Lakers than the Nuggets).

Udoka has to at least give Adams a chance to knock down those FT's. You dont surrender your big advantage that easily

Not with a healthy Butler. Series will go 7.

Pretty much. The Rockets overachieved this year. But I know the Warriors aren't going anywhere either.

Depends on the whistle. Ant finally got FTAs in the last game but the dude had 26 FGAs and ZERO FTAs in Game 3.

Nah, Curry will have one game of 12/14 from 3.

OKC in 5

Seems weird for a Lakers fan to be rooting so highly for the Dubs. Thought both fanbases hated each other ?

Who wins?
