Honestly Poor was bad so far in the playoff, curry can’t carry the team to win the whole thing by himself. Poor suppose to be the offensive weapon, and we all know he’s bad on defense, and now he is now scoring and giving a stupid fouls. I love to see the GS back to final, but man…, I don’t see it unless Poor playing like last year the Lethal weapon 4 or something crazy happen, otherwise Laker is going to advance.
All ESPN wants to talk about is Curry and the Warriors. Everything is from the Warriors perspective.
Stephen A said disiperxkrtvxously
Lakers need to keep that same momentum they had in gm 3 for gm 4 .
Whoever wins game 4 wins the series 💯
All this disrespect towards Lakers and AD
Stephen A mad at Jordan poole for paying ice spice 500k for a date and I understand why
If the Lakers win this series Max Kellerman will say it’s b/c Andre Iguodala didn’t play 😂😂😂
Thompson, Poole and Divicenzo are pure GARBAGE!! 🤦♂️🤣🤦♂️
Whoever wins game 4 wins this series. 🤔
AD had 2 bad offensive games against Memphis (games 2 and 4), and one against GSW (game 2), and in the other 6 games he was the best player on the court. In game 6 against Memphis he had 16 points but he only had to play 28 minutes, because they were leading by 33 points after 3rd quarter. And in every game, except for game 2 against GSW, he was by far best defensive player in the league. In game 2 everybody was bad and nobody even tried to play defence. AD might not score a lot of point in next game, but he is more important on defence than on the offence. If he has bad defensive game, Lakers will lose, but if he scores only 15 points and shoot 4-14, D'Lo might get hot, or Austin or Bron will just take over the game and Lakers still can win. For this Lakers team, AD's defence is more important than his offence, and he plays great defence in 95% of games.

Stephen A's rationale isn't balanced. Whilst there is truth in AD not being wholly consistent, he hasn't (nor has Lebron) had to put up massive numbers in order to win some of their games. Because of the others. SAF I believe is speaking more from a FAN standpoint…."he needs 30, 40 and 10 or 20 blah blah blah". If AD and Bron average mid twenties and go deep into the playoffs and maybe even win it with soring averages like that….I would prefer to see that instead two players going OFF and having to be ON FIRE every single game like Phoenix have no choice but to be right now (arguably easier to defend) than terrific team ball where everyone is involved and a threat. Case in point…San Antonio. Enough said.
Somebody tag coach ham or the staff. Somebody that will listen. U have to start Lonnie walker, n let Austin reeves come off the bench. U just adding strength n more speed. Most importantly u adding fresh legs n a more seasoned veteran. Who have great experience in these pick n rolls. They getting beat on the pick n rolls. Add Lonnie walker to the starting lineup n bring Austin reeves off the bench. Or add Lonnie walker to the rotation. Put him n Rui in at the same time. Goodnight.
AD JUST BE CONSISTENT… THATS ALL..
Rebound n run. The more they move without the basketball, the better the scoring. Sometimes they get flat cause they can’t score. It’s not good defense on the opponent end. It’s just bad offense. Lakers move without the ball. Set picks. Don’t stop moving. Y’all thinking to much with the basketball also. The better y’all stop doing that, the better your scoring will be
Smith is always wrong! Whether WARRIORS win Game 4 or NOT, Dubs gonna win the series. Lakers got lucky at HOME
Wilbon literally forgot the 2019-2020 season existed with his take on AD.
Lakers and Nuggets will go 7 games and battle out for West.
Celtics out last Heat in 5.
Shut up Mr. Cheat Code you accused Warriors of. He not saying anything about the Lakers getting all those free throws.😮😮

LeBron doesnt even need to score 30 points. 21, 8 and 8 on 54% shooting and 0 turnovers. Thats smart and effective basketball right there. Winning basketball!
Warriors v Refs
Well look at SAS showing his great support for GS…😒
It’s crazy how the game change once the fouls
Will the refs allowed such?
Wow
NBA playoffs is all about matchups, LAL & AD are just a bad matchup for the defending champs.
If they dont win SAS gonna have to take back his bad takes of taking Lebron off Mt. Rushmore
SAS: unknowingly agrees with Wilbon
Wilbon: makes point that SAS disagrees with after initially making the same point
SAS: proceeds to immediately go back to agreeing with Wilbon
Caption obvious stating what's already known again Stephen a
The only thing the warriors have to do is stay their ethnicity and die….
Lmk when inside the nba is back… this pre game show is brutal a bunch of dead cold takes
Say something else
Pocket watching SAS🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Lol warriors lose game 4 they are going home and if they win game 4 they are going home the title has me laughing.
If AD were a monster EVERY GAME as these talking heads keep harping on, wouldn't the Lakers then pretty much sweep every series? What's the point or fun of playing? Why not just give the Lakers the championship and skip the whole thing? These dudes on TV just don't seem to understand that THE OTHER TEAM is there and will make adjustments to counter AD and the team (unless you're Coach Bud). It's getting tiresome that they keep repeating the same tiresome narrative about AD.
