LAL/GSW to face PHO

[95pro]

Curuso is going to tire out CP3

we have Payne, little bit of Book.
Warriors had no one.

 

[Proximo]

After watching this game with a minute and a half to go, I am not scared of either team.

you are not watching the defense. That is what makes the Lakers scary.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Except this wasn’t the dominating juggernaut you think they are.

doesn’t matter. They played like trash and still won. That’s what champions do.

 

[Germz249]

There you have it. For some people here no more ducking teams. Lets just get it done and out of the way.

 

[Chaplin]

Welp some of you guys got your wish. I hope it’s worth it for y’all.

gonna be a battle.

Really are you sure? Talk to your brother, he thinks it’s going to be a cakewalk for the Lakers.

 

[Russ Smith]

Steph got mugged lol

The bad one was the trip before after LeBrons' 3. After Curry crossed halfcourt Caruso comes running up and extends his arm and clearly fouls him. Looked like an intentional no call. If they call that 2 shots it's a 1 point game. Instead Poole winds up missing a good look at a 3.

The turnovers killed us and we needed another scorer in the 2nd half besides Steph and Wiggins and Poole didn't get it done.

Great game. Amazing shot by LeBron.

size, athleticism, defense and oh yeah... two of the five best offensive players in the game we have no matchup for.

 

[Chaplin]

We’ve done that too. Not yet in the playoffs, but the Lakers don’t have a monopoly on good basketball.

 

[95pro]

Your eye is fine lebron. Enough. Post game interview

 

[pokerface]

Ok is it bad MOJO to say I hope we don't get swept??

If we can just get the first game for confidence...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Except this wasn’t the dominating juggernaut you think they are.

I think Lebron with three days more rest is a different Lebron than what we saw tonight.

 

[Cheesebeef]

All the Laker douche texts have already started. This is my worst nightmare.

 

[Chaplin]

All I care about is that we either beat them or if we are going to lose to them, at least win a couple games. That’s it. Even if we get ousted, if we win 2 or 3 games, I’ll still consider the season a success.

 

[Solar7]

I didn't want to play either team after the end things took for us.

You all know basketball a lot better than I do right now, I'm assuming. My hope is that LeBron's health fades in an actual series. But that's some time to heal up.

 

[Dr dumas]

fudge the Lakers.. and the refs.

 

[GatorAZ]

I think Lebron with three days more rest is a different Lebron than what we saw tonight.

Ridiculous it takes that long for game 1.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

If we have a chance it will be a battle. Frankly I think we go out in 5. Some of the games will be close but James/Davis/zebras will close ‘em out.

can we win? Yes. Do I expect it? No. But I’m ready to hope and cheer ‘em on!

 

[Proximo]

Well, suns do have one thing going for them - Barkley picked the Lakers.

Yeah pretty much that

I have no problem with that I only hope it goes at least six games.

Or we just sweep them and get it over with.

 

[Cheesebeef]

We’ve done that too. Not yet in the playoffs, but the Lakers don’t have a monopoly on good basketball.

whatever you need to tell yourself to make you sleep better at night.

I think we’re done in 5. That team is just the worst matchup in the league for us. Too big on offense and they’ve got the best D in the league. I think that’s a horrific combo.

Eh, I already think the season is a MASSIVE success. Even if we get swept it’ll be bitter but it’s just a bad draw. We won the second most games in the league after being in the lottery just last year and for a decade.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah pretty much that

Our window with Paul is real short.

a first round exit would be disastrous to any title chances while we have him.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well, suns do have one thing going for them - Barkley picked the Lakers.

Lol. This actually just gave me hope.

 

[Cheesebeef]

JC, grow up and get over yourself.

Sheesh... it’s just a saying. You’re calling me out in other posts to Ouchie. I don’t go agro over it.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

1) Warriors choked. Outright choked.

2)HOW DO YOU NOT CALL TIME OUT???

3) Sitting Curry to start the 4th in a game like this was pure stupidity. Lakers started quarter on 8-0 run.

4) I respect Lebron a lot, but spare me the manufactured drama that you saw "three rims and shot at the middle one" on game winner. Acting.

5) Warriors will lose to Memphis.
