  1. I wonder if JJ is gonna be screaming and crying on first take again. La has way better defense than the kings.

  2. JJ already is making excuses for the warriors gassed? They didn’t leave a time zone they legit are a bud rides away from the kings, lakers went back and forth from different time zones 🤡

  3. GSW doing all those pick and roll and off ball screens, they most of the time shoot the 3 for most of those possessions. Bottom-line though is despite doing all that, they still need to make it at a high % which they have not done this season even in the play offs. They need to shoot 3's in a high % coz they are not getting any other means to score a lot. They don't drive to the basket much. Even if they do now, they won't score a lot over AD, Lebron and Vando there, add Rui. They don't shoot a lot of free throws as well. Maybe some fast breaks but LA has been good with their transition defense. They actually don't have a lot of room for mistakes in contrary to all other saying Lakers. Lakers can shoot bad in the 3 and sill have a chance to win. They shoot a lot of free throws. They run a lot and it shows being the no. 1 team in fast break points in the play offs. Or AD/Lebron can dominate inside. If not, they have several role players like Dlo, Reeves, Rui, DS who can contribute big in certain games. GSW have to pray Steph and Klay shoots 40% plus in the 3 for them to have a chance.

  4. I feel like the warriors should try to use the younger players more in this series they have to bring energy and I think they can get away with it. They can have some matchup advantages I would like to see more Kuminga and Moody

  5. This series will be determined by officiating and at Chase Center no team gets favored more by officials than the Warriors from KD stepping out of bounds to phantom calls to protect Steph in the playoffs when he cant handle aggression the bias at Chase is obvious and thats why I think they will win this series.

  6. I get it, the titans going at eachother but they both need their teams and bron has the better overall super team with AD and russel. Also Bron gets a lot of help. Even in the grizzly series, weak foul calls and weird suspensions. The amount of league help and intervention for bron It’s almost too fabricated. The whole sit around and watch them shoot freethrows, your favorite stars suspended, and no one able to defend because refs put opponents in foul trouble early, it’s not as fun to watch lakers with bron anymore.

    Warriors on the other hand usually don’t get those whistles so they just run, and it makes a more fluid, watchable product. Plus the shots Steph and klay pull off is some circus stuff, not something I’ve not been able to enjoy since maybe the great Reggie Miller was in his prime making crazy shots.

  7. If Steph wins the series and KD loses his, this doesn’t make Steph greater all time for sure? Of course this series matters. First time both sides are off of super teams in a while

  8. It’s insane how we’re getting a Steph And and Lebron matchup again after 5 years. No KD, No Cleveland. A battle between two Hall Of Famers. AD has to average like 30 if the Lakers expect to have a chance. And Klay and Wiggins have to step up for GoldenState.

  9. If I'm the Lakers I'm running an athletic tall line-up with Vanderbilt guarding Steph at the top and forcing him to AD's side.

  10. I think Warriors win in 7. Draymond has owned AD his whole career. Lebron will be the x factor, but Warriors are familiar with him and that game plan. So idk. I feel warriors can pull it off. But i think the NBA will make sure it goes 7 and they might know this is Lebrons last chance so the refs might help the Lakers and have them advance.

  11. Really wish they games didn't start at 10 PM on a weeknight. Makes me unable to watch most of these games. I understand the catering to the west coast, but 10 PM is entirely too late to start a game during the week

  12. Rui HachiMelo is going to be a difference maker and matchup problem for the Warriors. He should start tonight. He plays like a more technical Melo and is only going to get better. He's going to be averaging 25 and 8 within the next 3 years.

  13. Whether it be Baseball, Football or Basketball a series of The Bay vs. LA is always a good one. But this is Steph vs. Bron quest for 5 and it’s not the finals but man, what a time to be alive.
