    I don’t think so. But I think the Nuggets will sweep the warriors.

    I think Suns will win a couple games, the Nuggs have been on a high but the West is normally not as crystal clear like a clear spring day.

    If you get swept in the 2nd R or WCF Finals it is extra tough for the team getting swept.

    There is dignity in play.

    I think we knew AD would have at least one outstanding game. This one was more typical of expectations, I agree.
    LA is so dependent on getting max games from their stars to win.
    Philly with Harden is similar.

    The Worriers have been shooting lights out even in the loss.

    The problem is the best shooter ever is accompanied by the second best ever shooter with the fastest quick release ever. And all of a sudden the Warriors have another role player emerge like Jay Green and plays like he never missed a beat.

    Lakers have to get Hashimuira into that 3rd star mindset quick to have a chance.

    This is one of those games that tests gematria. Today was the coronation of King Charles on May 6 or 5/6. LeBron would improve to 5 and 6 versus Curry at home in a playoffs where he could become 5 and 6 in the Finals. Curry would fall to 6 and 5 versus LeBron on the road, 6/5 is like 6 of May. Things like coronation, royal family, King James Bible, and even Kentucky Derby all equal 56. But the main thing is King Charles coronation and a LeBron game happening on the same day. Lakers can't lose.

    Russell 6 quick points. Davis 1 block. Lakers get it going quickly.

    Draymond doesn’t even try anymore. He just hammers people and knows they won’t call anything.

    D'Angelo Russell outscores Warriors by himself in the first quarter, with 13 points on 5-6 FGs!
