    Warriors still will be our toughest opponent to beat to win it all imo , despite their weaknesses

    They are so used to win , they execute like no other team when it matters

    If GS wins, we'll have to beat the:

    • #2 seed Memphis
    • #3 seed Sacramento (Or GS as the defending champs)
    • #1 Denver (Potentially) or a retooled on fire Phoenix
    Not a super easy path. If we make it to the Finals, we will have earned it for sure.

    Nuggets is BBQ chicken for us , I fear the Warriors way more than the Suns .. which are not a team so far

    Well the right mentality doesn't win you games , making shots does .

    Bane will be back in LA to lose another game

    Lakers shown no killer instinct, they play hard only when they have to. They should close them out tonight but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Talk about lack of confidence in the team's ability to stretch a series

    Yes plus Grizz are good at home and will be hungrier .

    Would be a nice surprise but I don't expect us to win at all .

    I wouldn't be mad at a blowout loss either , it happens ...

    Yeah this game has all the ingredients for a big loss for us.
    When the next opponent is in a 2-2 series with a game 6 confirmed and you can close your series in 5...Lakers won't.

    I'll be honest: I don't think we're going to win tonight. First of all, MEM is a good team, they play hard, they are good on defense -- and they are a great home team as well. We'll see how it goes, but I won't get mad if we lose. Most people predicted Lakers in 6, and I think it's accurate. Now, if we somehow manage to close it out in 5, that'd be awesome, because our guys are getting more rest. That should be extra motivation for Bron and AD at least.
