last time happened in 2020, Denver were down 1-3 to Jazz and Clippers, came back to win both, but there is no home court factor in the bubble.
the 2 times before were both in 2016, Cavs coming back from 1-3 in the Finals. Warriors 1-3 against OKC. |

that's not a counter, that's one less defender on the court, we can finish with DS or LW, but starting them is different.
i am not sure putting AD on Wiggins is the solution to their high PNR, and i am not even sure we have a good solution at this point. it would have to be the team effort on rotations. |

I don’t expect a W, but if Lebron and AD smell blood they can still provide that 1 game KO.
we will find out. |

The reason they are using Lonnie is because he can defend and chase Klay, so it really isn't one less defender. DS is also a defender. Rui would be one less defender. Seemed like they went away from Vando PT yesterday so he wasn't defending much.

Energy, desire, and high level communication wins the series for the Lakers…very possible but gotta want to for entire 48 against Warriors. Also, another hot hand from any player for the Lakers when offense stalls.

Someone did mentioned we did a mini adjustment and switched AD on Curry but can't let AD do that all game. |

They do not want to go out on their home floor. That would be humiliating.

We can continue to hunt Curry also to wear him down. Make him switch on Lebron through the game and wear him down and make their D help Curry and open up other guys

this is ridiculous, does every team has someone like Curry? high PNR is used very commonly in the NBA, Curry is the outliner here. i hope we can slow it down one more time |

changing your starting lineup when you are up 3-1 is not a smart move. Lonnie got one great game, let's not get ahead of ourselves, you want your best unit on the court to start the game. |

Warriors have changed their starting lineup 3 times in this series and they have lost 3 games. Change it one more time warriors!

Agreed, out of the teams remaining, only Curry is deadly and can use that high PNR well than anybody. Like LBJ23 mentioned above, gotta wear down Curry. |

| I have a funny feeling that J Poole will be a factor tomorrow night... I can see him going off with his circus shots. Hope I'm wrong, I want the Lakers to close this out and get some rest |

| I can’t remember a series where every single game was every other night. It must be burning LeBron and AD out. |

The line went up to Warriors -7. That's what it was in game 2 when we got blown out.

AMEN!!! A-freakin'-MEN to that... how sweet it would be not only for the Lakers to get rest but for the AD-NAUSEUM homer warriors media pundits on all sports channels to SHUT the hell up and stop with the excuses |
