This is not the Lonnie Walker game lol. I refuse.

Dude was hoopin. Every shot felt worse than the one before and they just kept dropping. He and GP II just came outta nowhere tonight.

Is Chris Haynes LeBron's Ahmad Rashad? Where did he even come from

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Nah...maybe true for Curry, but Klay took some TERRIBLE shots on 3 straight possessions. A 40 footer with time left on the shot clock? A contested, fading away 3 pointer? Draymond had multiple turnovers...honestly, I think Draymond looks to pass TOO much. He had a layup multiple times and opted to pass into a turnover.



I know it's a 3-1 hole, but honestly doesn't surprise me to see Warriors win this.

I hear you. But I've seen Klay make that **** too many times[emoji38] Luckily they just didn't go in tonight. Draymond made a really bad turnover there. Basically sealed it.

But credit to the Lakers for making them uncomfortable out there. Almost everything was contested.

Lonnie Walker IV!!

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

That sequence where AD had to guard Curry was insane. Made him take a tough off balance fade. Didn't get fooled or cooked by Curry's vast array of moves.

And Curry got another shot and AD stayed in front if him again and made Curry take a tough three. No other big in the league could of stayed in front of Curry there.

Lakers started the third like they had just gotten out of bed and gave zero ****s about the game. Didn’t pick up the intensity until it looked like Golden State was on the verge of another blowout.

Idk how both of these teams have had so many of those moments in this series.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

no idea why the Warriors went away from the PNR that brought AD to the screen. That was giving them great looks. Steph was excellent except for shooting. the warriors had so many open looks that they missed it was crazy. given the Reeves and Walker performances it would've been crazy had the Lakers lost that.

I guess a positive note for both teams.. not sure you could get less out of DLo or Poole so maybe both of their worst games are behind them.

At least Poole only played like 10 minutes, we got nearly a full game of watching DLo look like a 13th man out there Lol.

Reaves has sorta been doing that he was just ice cold in the last two games, but Lonnie damn. Of course it sorta washes with DLo and Vando providing little though since they’ve been huge in other games.

Lakers for a few different stretches in this series have looked like a LeBron finding his jumper away from actually being a really good team. Had a few just barely roll off tonight that looked like money (previous games he’s just been short). Those start dropping, they could be serious.

Welp, in case y'all forgot, the Warriors motto is "When down 1 with only seconds to go, launch long 3's."

Someone called them the Golden Girls and I had to laugh to keep from crying. I actually used to watch that show alot with my grandma as a kid.

So Curry would be Blanche (the diva), Klay would be Rose (out to lunch), Kerr would be Ma (old person no one listens to) and of course Draymond would be Dorothy (the cranky and fussy one).

I mean, Bleacher Report or someone should run with this the way they did Game of Thrones a few years ago.

Anyway, it's not over til it's over.

ps. Kerr feel free to make in-game adjustments. It's allowed.

I think Kerr made a few adjustments. For one he didn't play JGreen that much (only 2 minutes). Poole only got 10 minutes. Moody finally got minutes. Moody is going to be a really good player. Looney didn't get much minutes either. The Lakers are playing over the top on Klay and Curry. Forcing them to cut into the paint. That plays right into the Lakers hand having AD waiting. All AD did is zone up the paint when his man has the ball.

Credit to Ham for finding the Lonnie Walker vibe. These guards are going to get paid this off season. Without him they don't win. https://twitter.com/NBA/status/16557...21KxiJf5Q&s=19

I expect the Warriors to win the next game. That was too close.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Crazy, A couple of months ago it was in question if the Lakers would even make the play in…now they’re up 3-1

Probably one of the more uncomfortable 3-1 leads you can have though against these Dubs..

So happy for Lonnie though man

The Lakers are night and day pre and post trades.

This may be the best group of guys surrounding Lebron and his co-star.

It’ll still come down to AD. AD is unstoppable when locked in.
