    Irwin tweeted that Worthy said the seeds were previously planted. Really Worthy? Let it go.

    alam .... what was THAT like in person. Had to have been sold out or close. The place must have been rocking with all the big plays and team looking so good out there. Eat s*** ESPN with that ranking. Better start rearranging your schedule for more Lakers for sure later in the year.



    LOLOL our posts just crossed.

    As did we (certainly made a lot more than they did), but yeah they were really cold. And too small. Julius is certainly bigger than Draymond out there. Looked like he was his daddy.

    Maybe KD picked the wrong team. :Magic Brows:

    Collins looked at our next six and thinks they are all winnable. Hell, from what I see so far from this group, most will be ALL winnable.

    Just realized 3-3 with that punishing early season schedule. I'll take it and take that stupid NBA scheduler:Laugh:

    First time Curry hasn't made a 3 pointer in a game in 2 years (Nov 11, 2014). So that's pretty cool.

    No, lets not degrade it, IF they had had a decent 3pt night, say, 38%, and we know how fickle those can be, and our boys (having had a crappy 3pt night themselves @ 26%) with (unfairly) no adjustment, we would have still been right in this game. This was won on the boards. Credit where credit is due. We disrupt them. They freaking lost fair and square. There was no coating this, they lost from start to finish.

    This is different considering we've already beaten two other playoff teams. I don't remember us ever being at .500 any of the last two years/

    We can kind of thank the scheduler for last night's win. I figured they would be on an emotional hangover from the previous game and the Warriors were on a backend of a back to back so we had to take advantage of that. Our boys did and capitalized and got a great win. I mean come on, how times are Klay and Steph gonna miss nearly every wide open three point shot throughout the whole game? But every team goes through it and every team is going to have games like that where they're going to have their a**** handed to them and this time the Lakers were doing the handing out. That being said I don't think this team gets this win this early in the season last year. Maybe towards the end like they usually do but so far we can add last night to the number of quality wins gained so far. There'll be more.

    Ugh no we can thank the Lakers for going out and whooping the Warriors. Tired of this back to back excuses. The Lakers just recently won on a back to back so no excuses. Lakers beat the Warriors. They out hustled them, were more physical, more efficient, better defensively, and got out and ran on them.
