Warriors crying over referees is just hilarious, they got lucky. And it’s clear they are not getting the same favourable whistle as in years past, at least not as frequent. Crazy still how Kings didn’t double team Curry as much as they could.
Feels like Lakers are starting to peak at the right time. I like AD over any big in these playoffs. Jokic included. He is just so dynamic. Druss and Reaves giving the Lakers big minutes. Feels like Lebron hasn't turned it on yet.
This is an EASY "lesser of two evils" choice for me! I DO NOT want to see Steph and his smug little "I'm better than you" grin win another title. And that's not EVEN counting how annoying Draymond is! Really don't even like Poole or Klay either. Always liked AD and his game so I can root for him, even though you know who's his teammate! Especially after he made that hi-larious commercial with Beard back in the day. GO LAKERS! (for this round) Please eliminate the worriers!
The Worriers Achilles Heel has always been inside. That said, the Lakers can forget about beating Denver.
A lot of series have been lost so far due to their star being injured. This alone has decided many of the outcomes. Will this series follow suit or will health prevail for one series? The above would seem to favor the Warriors. But any player can be injured at any time regardless of whether they have a history of it or not. So, will basketball or health decide this series?
Not for lack of trying! I do wonder if LeBron can, not because of health or age, but because he's playing a different type of game. He is not dominating the ball anymore. He is not the focal point of the offense. Can he produce while playing this role? So far, so bad. Taking and missing a lot of dumb threes and turning the ball over more than normal. To his credit, he is hitting the boards and playing excellent defense. With Davis playing the way he is and role players alternating big contributions, I'm not sure if the Lakers will need LeBron to win this series. If he continues to sacrifice his control of the offense, play great defense, rebound, and hit shots every once in a while, then the Warriors don't stand a chance. The Nuggets look like a team that could beat the Lakers because with their size they could break through the Davis and LeBron wall. We'll see.
AD is the big advantage the Lakers have if he plays like the best guy on the floor they can win if Lebron is the best player Lakers will lose.
Chris Broussard thinks this series is 90s basketball vs 2020s basketball. Yup, yup. Davis looks like a lot of rim defenders back in the day.
Man, it don't matter who wins, at least one of the two teams is going to be eliminated and we can make fun of them. That's the real victory right there.
Tough matchup for GS imo. All depends on AD's health but I think the Lakers can win this series. No way the league doesnt make it go 6 or 7.
