  1. I can’t believe that arena was PACKED, there were whole sections of empty seats ! That’s crazy this should be the most hyped series in this years playoffs !

  2. Lakers domiinated the paint! Golden State gotta step it up down low or this series goes to the Lakers! Having a big man is an extremely important piece to have and Golden State needs that to beat the Lakers!

  3. Being a Denver fan myself, I want both of these teams to eventually lose… That said, I want LBJ's season to end this series!

  4. No way Warriors shooting can overpower easy interior buckets/rebounds by Lakers. They'll die on that hill and battle it out but Lakers are gonna come out on top

  5. This was winnable game for GS, at 9:01 when Curry has the ball (16 seconds on the shot clock), everyone need to come out and set the pick for him to get open. Poole does it first, the second pick should be by Thompson. The play to make is a hot potato catch and release for Klay or Curry to be open for the 3. No way he runs into the paint to face Godzilla AD with a reach from here to Kalamazoo on a layup floater. Run that play back again, and I assure you they won't do that again. You'll live with Klay or Curry shooting from beyond the ARC. The two man game of Klay or Curry is what won them 4 Championships, dont stop it now.

  6. DO NONE OF Y'ALL HEARD THE MAN SAY SHRODER SHOT MORR FREE THROWS THAN THE REST OF THE WARRIORS.. Yep the refs came to play.. THANKS NBA.. Pointing out that when Hawks had a good run Bron n team on the line much..

  7. Clash of the Titans. I really want the Lakers to win game 2, but I know the Warriors are just that. A brilliant and dynamic team that knows how to get it done. That finish was too intense. Very eager to watch. Long live the King.

  8. Please let AD and LeBron stay healthy through this series 🙏 We deserve to watch a full series of greatness. Game 1 was epic.

  9. Sheeeesh the Lakers playing long ball 🏀 the warriors gone have to play smarter & not go for the first shot when they down in the paint a shot blocker such as AD be waiting on stuff like that. Next game is going to be exciting cause i already know adjustments will be made.
