Historic 3pt shooting and still lost

They are delusional. 40% from the 3 on high volume is not good enough for them. Their team only shoots about 32% during regular season. Now warriors shot over 40% in first round. Poole only 25%

AD needs to becareful, saw a few times where GS was trying to get in his landing space but make it look unintentional. The one against Looney AD kept his foot off the ground because he saw what Looney was doing.

Another time Wiggins tried a sneaky dive at AD’s legs.

Dirty (bleep). They are trying to take out AD without making it look obvious.

AD had a phenomenal game. 30/20/5/4 is wiiiiiiiiiiiild. If he continues along this path we are in a great place.

Lets all get a good night sleep and enjoy watching the basketball games tomorrow. Spend some time with your beautiful families.

Save all our stress for the next Lakers game, because lets win that one too!

If we win game 2 this series is over. Ham needs to give AD rest in the second half though, at least 3 minutes to start the 4th.


LOL, I'm not sleeping on the Warriors.


There’s no way they’re winning 2 games in our court, we’re not the queens. Win the next one and it’s bye bye.


Even if we win the next, I don’t think it’s a sweep. I think we win the series but not a sweep.

Steph has never been swept in his career
Kerr has never lost a series as a coach out west

They would get a game. If they don’t get a game, then got damn AD and Bron go into the finals on a nimbus cloud


I didn’t say sweep, what I’m saying is if we win the next game, I don’t see a scenario in which we loose the series unless injuries…


Oh yeah I agree there. Just incredible though if they do sweep

It’s pretty obvious what we will see the next game

They will play zone

The Lakers will have to make shots to beat it

Great road win but Ham almost cost them playing that unit so many minutes in a row. That is scary man, stuff like that - we got away with it tonight but he can't be doing this stuff.

He goes from one extreme to the other man, it's like he platoon subs or he doesn't sub at all

No reason you can't spot rest with Wenyen or Rui more down the stretch

I did like how he kept AD in at the start of the 4th to keep things stable, but get him at least 2-3 mins - Wenyen did more than fine


With the exception of not giving more minutes to Rui Hachimura and Wenyen Gabriel to give a little bit more rest to LeBron and Anthony Davis, his matchups were on point ham didn’t do anything to screw this game up. He actually called a good game as a coach he took Beasley out of the lineup and he was calling good time outs.


He was good overall I don't disagree there, but with only 1 day off between games - I don't think he can play the rotation that tight.

Lebron settling at the end of the game there was fatigue, use Rui for 4-6 minutes he is much more spry to close the game. Same with AD but I get wanting to grab this one while we could sniff it.

Yeah. Never forget that they only won the 2017 championship because Zaza Pachulia stepped under Kawhi Leonard during game 1 while down by 20.

Warriors can win any game, home or road, also lose any game. It is all depending on their 3. We can’t assume they won’t win a game in crypto.com arena. We have to try to take game 2


Warriors are a team that I would not rest on even if we are up 3-0. They have tons of championship experience and resiliency. Even though their regular season record on the road was atrocious they still found a way to win on the road in the playoffs last round.

You know what I saw this as well!

I thought I was just being paranoid, some sneaky sh$t

Green was also dirty on that foul in the end

Yeah, that was pretty sneaky and devious of them. Look for Draymond to go dirty if they get desperate.

Lakers took GS’ best shot and still won with no one outside of AD had a great game. Now go get game 2 before GS catch their breath and figure
out adjustments.

Just noticed LBJ 1-8 from 3 tonight....

Past 6 playoff games I believe he is 6-41 from 3. (14%)

This entire playoffs through 7 games: 9-49 (18%)

I mean geez...this is beyond a slump at this point. It's atrocious

Sure as hell hope so but for the season he fell below his career average and is starting to enter...Westbrook sort of bad.

His first month he shot like 26% on 40 plus attempts and then the next month shot 37%. He’s streaky as well. He’s the worst three point shooter but round 1 led all players in the whole playoffs in 2 point shooting. and defense had been on point along with rebounding . That 3 will hit soon enough

Will say he’s not doing the side step three since he got hurt though, so maybe he just can’t push off like he used to for the shot

Can we agree that this is now Anthony Davis’s team

LeBron James is an all-time great player. It’s time to pass the torch.


He's been trying to pass that torch for 2-3 seasons now... A lot of people here thought AD didn't want it. But it looks like he is ready this playoffs.

Not sure how the Lakers won this game.

Lakers: 6/25
Warriors: 21/52

You get out scored by 40+ from 3 you usually lose


We had 29 free throws to their 6


they only shoot 3s all game. what would you expect?


And we sag off everyone not named Curry and Klay


That was the game plan & it worked

I think it's because we wanted game 1 very badly



We load manage their minutes during the season

It's just tough nowadays to neutralize runs. The Warriors nearly blew a lead in game 4 of their series against the Kings. The Bucks blew 2 big leads against the Heat that has them out of the playoffs now. The Celtics blew a big lead to the Hawks in game 5 that forced a game 6.

I don't think any team in the NBA is completely capable of stopping them anymore.

The Lakers just need to try and limit them as possible. I think a good start is to stop going away from what's working on offense. The Lakers need to try and manage their rotations better throughout the game if the Lakers are too tired to do that at the end of the game. You may not get as big of a lead, but it's a really scary proposition to hand the other team all the momentum at the end of the game.
