    "well let's just take a 14-0 run from the warriors, look literally dead, not call timeout and hope we get lucky....."

    The Kings were one of the worst defenses to ever make to the playoffs, so this is an actual challenge

    they were mid (8th), but it's hard to tell because mike brown knows golden state so well that they were passable.

    I have always thought the way to beat the Warriors is to pound them inside, but the problem is in this era of soft ass bigs no team has a guy to play that way.

    Lakers had 1 of the most impactful midseason trades in recent NBA history

    The Lakers better thank Jordan Poole's dumbass. Had enough time to dribble inside and draw the defense in and kick it out to a better shooter.

    The freethrows were interesting. Did feel like the Warriors did not have the whistle tonight but they also just...got scared of attacking AD a lot of times.

    That one possession where they got like 3 Orebs and kicked it out no one even thought of going to the rim. I mean Lebron was challenging shots in the paint too but this really was a game about AD and how the Warriors don't have the size to deal with him.

    I'm sure Draymond planning on a few high kicks or shoves or whatever to take him out a game or two, won't take much for AD.

    I wish Ryan Anderson had Jordan Poole confidence.
