    I'm confused why so much of this board is rooting more against the Lakers than Golden State?

    I wanted this to be the year Steph just took 40 shots a game smh.

    This man could probably average 50-60 a game.

    It's going to be really hard for the Lakers to beat the Jazz after having to play two games while they rest. Then the Clippers. Then the Suns or Nuggets. Seems close to impossible.

    if conspiracy talk. Lakers as defending champ is supposed to be the better team. So Silver can let Warriors secure this spot. Then Lakers can go and still be safe against the Grizzles; plus it'll be good TV ratings.

    I’m confused why I’m rooting for the Warriors too. It’s been a strange couple of years.

    what's the over/under on how many free throws the lakers shoot against memphis? Ja vs Utah ain't gonna cut it for the league office.

    Because they’re the Lakers and they’re the defending champs, and the Warriors are the underdogs in the matchup.

    Ideally, the league wants clips v lakers wcf so they want them to get the 7th seed.

    I mean sure. My whole thing this playoffs I want the Nets to break up quickly, and I still think that happens if they don't win a title this year.

    If Lakers actually get in a groove, they have ceiling to compete with a Nets team.

    GSW is ceiling is only to upset the Suns or Jazz, neither of which helps that cause/goal.

    This Lakers team is something else man, really falling off, hard to believe it's just injuries.

    I didn’t think GS could become more annoying but now the new guys Tuscado and Poole do a lot of s*** talking.
