I get what you’re saying we need to try to close the series out as fast as we can for obvious reasons
But the Warriors really aren’t the same away as they are at home. This is as good as they are.
We got the HomeCourt advantage that’s what we came to do |

LOL, I'm not sleeping on the Warriors. |
There’s no way they’re winning 2 games in our court, we’re not the queens. Win the next one and it’s bye bye. |

Can we agree that this is now Anthony Davis’s team
LeBron James is an all-time great player. It’s time to pass the torch. |

Dude got like 11 minutes. A shame cause he looked good in the 1Q. |
Yeah, I didn’t agree with that. We could’ve given LeBron more rest and played Rui a little bit more |
I agree and yet I won’t kill Ham for it. Coming off game 7 he probably felt if he ever had a shot to take 1 it would be this one, and he rode his two horses to do it. They got the win. It’s a double loss if he doesn’t win this game, but he got the win.
He also got a ton of tape to see how Denis and Vando did on defense versus them and ways for Russel and Reaves to attack them.
I would like to see Rui give them both a couple mins rest. |

I think it's because we wanted game 1 very badly |

they're too scared of the warriors. lol
All they do is shoot 3s. They shooting the lights out today and still cant win.
Lakers did not even played a good game today.
AR clearly struggled at the start but kinda settle down in the 2nd half. He will be more useful next games. |

Even if we win the next, I don’t think it’s a sweep. I think we win the series but not a sweep.
Steph has never been swept in his career
Kerr has never lost a series as a coach out west
They would get a game. If they don’t get a game, then got damn AD and Bron go into the finals on a nimbus cloud |

Agreed. Will AD play as well?
LeBron won’t play this bad again.
We should win game 2.

Great road win but Ham almost cost them playing that unit so many minutes in a row. That is scary man, stuff like that - we got away with it tonight but he can't be doing this stuff.
He goes from one extreme to the other man, it's like he platoon subs or he doesn't sub at all
No reason you can't spot rest with Wenyen or Rui more down the stretch
I did like how he kept AD in at the start of the 4th to keep things stable, but get him at least 2-3 mins - Wenyen did more than fine |

With the exception of not giving more minutes to Rui Hachimura and Wenyen Gabriel to give a little bit more rest to LeBron and Anthony Davis, his matchups were on point ham didn’t do anything to screw this game up. He actually called a good game as a coach he took Beasley out of the lineup and he was calling good time outs. |

This is all they got. Spam 3's, some of them are super high degree of difficulty also - at some point those aren't gonna go down and we are consistently getting paint looks and free throws which is a lot more sustainable.
They will go on little flurries but all we need to do is play smart and we got this. |

I didn’t say sweep, what I’m saying is if we win the next game, I don’t see a scenario in which we loose the series unless injuries… |
