I trust & wish Austin, Dennis or D-Lo would have the ball in their hands to RUN an offense up 3 or less any day at end of GAMES over the very much predictable Lebron crap of running out the clock & jacking up a 3 & for what another 1 for 8 & possibility of going OT when all we needed was a good shot or FT to close out.

What is it with his ego that he knows darn well what he’s not good at & which is his weakest mindset basketball IQ…

Warriors are going to go small eventually. I'm excited to see how we do. AD at the 5, Bron at the 4, 3 guards. Bench lineup: Rui/LeBron at the 4/5 should be more than enough for Draymond.

going small simply doesn't work against us because AD and LBJ are both big and yet agile. they will be giving up rebounds left and right.

Warriors are going to pack the paint and play zone. We're going to have to rely heavily on the mid range game since we absolutely suck at 3 pointers. Rui will have to play a lot of minutes since he's lethal with the mid range. If Rui gets it going that will force the Warriors to step out of the paint and open up lanes for our guards and AD to operate in the paint.

Warriors foil a lot, we should still try and get to the rim.

Kerr will adjust their defense in G2. I don’t think the Lakers get 29 FT attempts in G2.

For the Lakers, Vanderbilt wearing down Curry is the key on defense. On offense, hopefully the right guys shooting 3s.

He has less levers to pull. I expect a lot of zones. Lebron in high post might be a good adjustment for Ham.


or AD, they already did that vs the heat in 2020

I will be dissapointed if they will not do this again. AD and Bron already knew it.



We have multiple guys who can pass an entry pass to AD at the high post.

Take this game, and you're on your way to ending this in LA in a sweep. Ending their dynasty via sweep will send a message to the rest of the playoff teams that we are not (bleep) around anymore.

No changes. Old guys must still be feeling good. Winning does that for you. Lol.

AD & LBJ - Probable

Mo - Questionable

Just saw on ESPN, 15 straight best of 7 series, Road team wins Game 1, loses Game 2. I know it has no barring on the outcome tomorrow, but still interesting nevertheless lol.

Would just like to see them make more use out of Rui Hachimura and Wenyen Gabriel

Keep Anthony Davis and LeBron James more fresh. These guys can handle the load.

Teams historically relax for game 2 after winning game 1 on the road.

Only if AD does it again, we continue to limit our turnovers & stop taking those god awful ill advised 3ptrs.

NBA and Refs love to extend things in these situations also.

Hopefully no Scott Foster and maybe we have a chance.

I know we saw both these things in the Memphis series as it was game 5 where the refs pulled those shenanigans and game 2 where we just came out flat.

The betting line has moved from warriors -5.5 to Warriors -6.0. The betting public doesn’t believe the lakers can win game 2. Let’s make them lose some money.

Would be nice to reverse the script. Let’s see if AD can repeat his performance.

So far it is 0-5 these playoffs. Let's make that 1-5. Streak has to end sometime. Lol
