That would get some critical rest for these guys, especially if the other series goes 7. AR looks gassed chasing down those guards, LBJ needs it and AD for sure.

Let's honor Andrew Bynum. Close out games are actually kind of easy. If you can get a lead in the second half, they start to surrender early.

if Lakers can withstand GS' initial surge they should be in good shape. GS gonna come out firing, just keep the game within 10 points by half time i think Lakers have a good shot close it out.

Hope Ham has something for the curry High PNR, they won’t shoot that bad at home for sure. We are struggling on offense against them. As the series goes deeper, players get use to the other team more, adjustments will be harder to make.

That's interesting. I think game 2 the line went up to 7 and they blew us out.

Lots of talk about teams being up 3-1 winning 95% of the time, but I feel like it has happened more in recent years. I wonder what the stat is in the last 5 years, last 10 years.

Game 1 is Reaves show

Game 2 is Hachimura show

Game 3 is Russel show

game 4 is Walker IV show

Game 5 could be Dennis "The Menace" show.

This is going to be a very tough game. We will need another 4 quarters of elite DEFENSE.
Our role players will have to step up BIG-TIME on the road. We must play with a sense of urgency and not give GSW any wiggle room.

I think the Lakers should close it out tomorrow but it is not a big deal either way because they’re 100% winning at home in game 6 if it comes to that.

I'm not saying we should, but we can counter the GP3 starting with Lonnie or Rui or Dennis Starting instead of Vando

It will be interesting to see who the refs are going to be. If it's Tony Brothers and that Celtic fan Eric Lewis we are screwed.

All I want to see is a good effort.
I don't expect the Warriors to lose.
In fact, I expect a possible blow out.

For the Lakers, you don't want to toy with the Warriors. If you can come up with the right game plan, execute it.

Lakers really, overall, didn't play the best of games yesterday. Lonnie saved us.

With that said, we were too passive and settling for bad shots, especially Lebron. Also, guys have to crash the board and look for dude's cutting to the basket. They got way too many points in the paint.....way too many!!

Ham needs to look at the weaknesses and capitalize.

Yes. Do they not assign refs to more than one game per series? I have no idea how it works, just being negative lol.
