It’ll be Scott Foster. |
It won’t. He just reffed game 4. It’ll either be the game 1 or 2 refs (which game 2 refs would be bad). I’m done talking about refs, either lakers come out with intensity or they’re losing. simple as that. |

They have been shooting too many layups so the strategy from Ham should be to keep AD near the paint to limit those layups.
A zone against a 3pt shooting team may not be a good recipe but perhaps it should be considered to limit their paint points and make them hit enough 3s to compete with:
AD/LBJ primarily scoring in the paint,
Rui primarily mid range,
Dlo/DShro/AR/LW4 primarily 3s+drives to the hoop.
With the added benefit of Vandi’s perimeter defense I think the Lakers can win with that strategy. |
the only zone you can play against the warriors is box and one which would give Klay and their role players open shots, but this is not easy to play give our relatively new team. i certainly hope they try it some times and stay as close to Klay as possible. |
I still say we just switch everything and in this game where our defensive intensity and focus will be at its highest when we are already the best defensive team in the league, I think we just need to ensure we put a body in front of a man and we will win. What we cant do is give them any sort of confidence with an open shot. As long as our guys are flying around and staying in front of someone, this game will be ours |
we have 3 guards out there, so constantly switching will give up mismatches and rebounds. box and 1 assures AD stay in the paint, but we have to try everything for this game. give them different looks. |

If the game was called half decent yesterday, we would have won.
I expect to get a better called game and if a miracle happens, some favorable calls our way. that with our defensive plan and we win.
the fact that the game was in reach the whole game yesterday with the warriors allowed to play football along with Draymond having his offensive night of the year should scare them more than anything.
I dont like to be that guy to blame reffing but that was a joke yesterday. I knew we were in trouble when they called LeBron for that 5 second violation, allowed draymond to scream in Vando's face, and bark in the refs face after calling a foul on him all within the first 6 mins of the game. If you dont think there was an agenda yesterday, I'm jealous. Ignorance is always bliss. |

I was happy to see it too. I dont think someone like LeBron needs any extra motivation but I think some of the rest of the guys on the team might see it and get some extra juice to help their team and captain put away the dirty warriors |

What I really want to see is D'Angelo making a dagger three and doing the putting to sleep pose. Watching that frontrunner Curry dancing and smirking when things are going great being embarrassed would be wonderful. |

He put up a story of LeBron telling the media after the game how he and the Lakers dont flop...but he added a Cap emoji on LeBron's head. Clownish behavior |

What i picked up also was that the team was not practicing with no film session....meaning we arent changing our defensive coverages at all. |

I don't want to just beat them. I want to humiliate them on national tv.

Need DLO to have a good game, and good news Reaves has been doing better. Warriors totally controlled tempo of the game 5 and that got us in trouble. That and the porous defense. They did a good job of getting Davis away from the basket and that reduces his impact of disrupting shots at the rim.
If we win in 6 and so does Denver is it known when will game 1 be? |

We haven’t been able to stay in front as defenders after switching, Steph has been just too fast and crafty, easy light contested layups over and over and over. Not sure how to fix that…just brainstormed zone but don’t really know what to do…really concerned about countering the high PnR taking AD out of the paint.
Do we dare go under the screen? They are an excellent 3pt shooting team but have been even better at shooting layups.

Referees allowed AD and AR to be hard fouled with no calls. If the Lakers retaliate with hard fouls I think there will be numerous calls made against them. I don't think referees play favorites. I think there just are some bad officials. The crew assigned to the game tomorrow is crucial.
