All I have to say is good luck to the team who has to play Golden State in the 1st Round again..... They make Phoenix look slow, and they play way more aggressive.
I said it twice in the game thread, but if GS wins then we're in 2nd place again, tied with the Lakers but we have the tiebreaker. Golden State is up 10 midway through the 2nd quarter.
man their style of play is crazy, it sure is fun to watch. they're even more exciting than the suns ever was lol. sucks that style of play won't win them much.
golden state has just been ridiculous in both first halves of these games. everything they throw up goes in. granted the lakers are playing bad D and even worse transition D but every little thing that goes wrong ends up with the warriors capitalizing. the lakers have the last shot and somehow kobe turns it over (after going too early which he never does) and monta ellis hits a running one-handed 26-footer at the buzzer. they're just playing out of their minds. and the lakers offense has been amazingly crappy in all 3 halves so far. their spacing and ball movement usually tears through a D as bad as golden state's and yet they are constantly hesitant, miss the open jumpers and easy inside shots they get and kobe is playing like crap and looks like he's either disinterested or completely confused by a bad defense. i know they're missing gasol but their offense being so off against a bad D is weird.
That was a great 1st half. Warriors home games are special. If Kobe doesn't light the Warriors up in the 2nd half, the Lakers have no chance. Someone else must support him too because this is one contest he ain't winning on his own. Unlike last night, I don't see the Warriors falling flat in the 2nd half.
