538 gives the Lakers a 57% chance of winning this game.

This is the season boys. We lose this one, we are going to have to win a game 7 in GS which is a tall order.
We win this one, great chance to close them out in 6 games.
Might be the difference between a chip or no chip.
We need the BEST from Lebron, AD, D-Lo in this game. |

| Agree with everyone, Jamalchal Green whatever you spell it, had his Tillman/Powe moment. I wonder if Kerr will bring Looney back on the starting lineup. |

No way, they might start Jordan Poole though, in that case AD would have to guard DG and they can run the PNR again.
Starting Looney will allow lebron and AD to sit in the paint all night |

I dont think they would start Poole....its too high risk of a scenario when they can get the same similar spacing effect with JaMychal. They could do that to the guard heavy Kings lineup but against this size and skill with Poole's tendency for really good and really bad games....too high a risk |

Sure start Poole, we'll eat him alive; his BBIQ is suspect & his defense is non-existent  |

Energy, desire, and high level communication wins the series for the Lakers…very possible but gotta want to for entire 48 against Warriors.

| Quote: | Bingo. Vando on Draymond, AD on JMG was the adjustment
@ChrisVernonShow and I discussed on this week’s Mismatch. Only question was who got put on Curry. Now let’s see if the Warriors respond in Game 4 by moving JMG out of the starting lineup. |

Time to see what Kerr will adjust. |

| Gonna look closer to game 1, must-win for both teams. Better win, fully expect us to get blown out going back to GS. |

| One of these games, Kerr will be desperate and give Kuminga minutes. Anything to shake things up. |

They have less levers to pull, but I can absolutely see this because AD cant guard him outside. The goal is to get AD to guard DG so they can run the curry PNR, but obviously they give up more size by playing this lineup.

| Me personally, I did not like the wide open looks we were giving to JMG because we continued to hedge with AD after we initially started in drop. Today we were lucky he missed and AD was very handsy that blew up their screen roll coverage in a way only AD can pull off but i still wish when the Warriors run their ball-screens, we just switch everything including with AD like we did with Reaves and Vanderbilt |

You have to give them something. Role players struggle on the road. |

I think now our adjustment should be to bench Vando and start Rui and switch everything. That will be an adjustment they dont see coming and I really see it working for us. Draymond switched onto anyone wont kill us but him rolling downhill on a 4 v 3, unless AD continues to demonstrate handsy skills that blows up their pick and roll - which is a high risk strategy - can cause problems for us. I want a sustainable defense, not one relying on Warriors shooters to miss wide open shots. |

I would like to see the Warriors shoot over single man coverage. Its what the Paul/Harden Rockets and last year's Grizzlies did to contain the Warriors high-octane offense. |

Rui is too slow, can’t start him. Him chasing shooters is not ideal. We need Vando in there. They are going small with DG, him switching on everyone is not really good news for them. |
