They are a great home team. They are the defending champions for a reason. Hence going 1-1 and nullifying their home court advantage is a huge deal. We have adjusted very well after a loss so far. AND we will be home. So we will be fine, no overreactions and let’s support the team. GO LAKERS.

Interesting to see how they can stop Dubs from shooting well from the outside.
Outplayed this game. On to the next game bois
Lakers in 5
Like the positivity.
With that said, they tapped into some real adjustments, and I don’t know what counters we have.
Couldn’t have said it any better myself.
Bounce back at home! 💜💛
10/39 from 3Pt , tell LA they don’t need to build a new arena
AD has to bounce back. His energy alone helps our team. If he continues to struggle it will be brutal
One of the worst road teams too, we need to take any advantage we can. Hope it’s 3-1 going back to San Francisco
How would y’all feel about starting Shroeder and matching him with Curry and then moving Vando to Klay? I think this works so we can bring Reaves off the bench to matchup with Poole
Grizzlies looked awfully good in game 2 too. We defend homecourt and we’re in a good position. We’ll be fine.
Calm down everyone stop attack OUR TEAM we have proven a lot since the trade deadline. They built this hope for us and it’s our job to maintain it.
They just couldn’t miss, AD didn’t play well but when Klay is making those shots you call it a game.
This is why we have series and not single elimination. 1-1, new series. Home court advantage is ours. Role players play better at home. AD odd number game. Stay confident fellas
IMO schroder should start with DLo this series and see how he does.
At least for this series. Maybe coming off the bench will help AR figure out his game again
Shake it off
They’ll adjust, not worried.
I expected to lose tonight but getting blown out is a huge cause of concern. What the lakers were doing schematically made absolutely no sense. This isn’t a case of “oh well warriors were hot, we’ll be good moving forward.” No the game plan the lakers went out with this is absolutely baffling and should be worrisome. I know we are tied 1-1 but if this series is going to come down to which coaching staff/team can make the right adjustments then we are doomed
I’m so proud of everybody not hanging their heads low after this blowout.
Yup. You’re all being honest with yourselves with the “We’ll be good” and what not.
People really thought we were gonna sweep or some shit? Chill with the doom and gloom. We got the split and head back home where 1. We have not lost a game at home since the start of play-in/playoffs. 2. The warriors are not the same team on the road. 3. I know its the warriors but they hit 21 threes in back to back games thats insane even for them.
How about we recognise the Warriors are a great team (as the OP says)?
We had their number in the first game. They made major adjustments, and they worked, plus they also shot lights out. Over to Ham and his team to figure out the right counter.
I’m feeling this. Knew tonight would be a hard game and probably would’ve gone to the Warriors (didn’t expect the gap to be that wide tho).
Now we come home and have to defend HCA. LFG!!!
Flush it and move on.
GS shot the lights out not gonna happen again. Make adjustments and Lakers got this
I’m cool they loss tonight to be honest. Got one on the road, and I could turn off the game early on the East coast and get some extra work done. Let’s get the next one, and be better
i’m not worried at all. thought it would be 5, b/c i thought AD would be more focused. but it appears he’s going to be the same inconsistent AD so it’s gonna be 6.
lakers just got lax again.
home court wins like 64% of games in nba playoffs, if i remember correctly.
​
Just not realistic to 2-0. If youre the higher seed yes, but 2 away games no….No.
I doubt they go make 20+ threes in the next two games
We all expected this lol
We be fine stole one on the road, AD need to be more a factor tho
They packed the paint and switched to zone. Let’s see how Ham counters. If it’s halftime and we haven’t shot a single free throw, we’re not doing something right. Win the home games. Hopefully our boys in 6.
Hopefully they don’t shoot above 50% again all series because holy shxt that was some ridiculous cooking 😂
Play zone.
Lakers in 6
Expected loss as people have said. Make the right adjustments just as they did after game 1. Let’s protect home court
Well said. If we win this series I think we take the chip. As good as boston is, kerr and the warriors are a different beast in the post season
We did what we had to do, we got one away game. Next two games are at home let’s win both!
Expected a response from Warriors, but it’s just one game. Can’t underestimate them. AD is likely to have a great game every other game, but rarely in two consecutive ones. Need to group rebound and hopefully can get some more offensive output from reaves and Schroeder in LA.
DLo’s started the series well. Rui could do with some more minutes
Lakers in 5 lfg
AD is inconsistent, but I am always confident he will bounce back. Happens every time whether injury wise or whenever he has a bad game.
Fuck man i feel like im in a support group after all the trauma this year. Thank you brothas…one game at a time. See yall Saturday.
Being 1-1 with the defending champs that too after both their home games is actually pretty good. And now we head to LA and warriors have been a pretty bad road team all season long so we can definitely be up 3-1 after game 4.
And most importantly we have Lebron freaking James. He has seen all types of defensive schemes and he knows what to do.
