    Let’s not be Golden State fans and blame the refs before the game even begins.

    Draymond Green Says He Won't Change His Defensive Style Because Of Officiating In The Lakers - Warriors Series
    "I won't adapt. I'm going to keep playing the same defense I've played for 11 years."
    Will he get 2 Techs in 1 st quarter?

    Unfortunately, it's not about Foster liking us or not, or about the outcomes of regular season games - he's called The Extender for a reason, and I am very scared of that reason. I was mildly confident about tonight before this, now I'm downright terrified.

    Yes, but unfortunately, it's an even number game.

    I don't believe in this b*******.I believe Curry record vs Lakers is like 35-37 points .But when Davis was still playing in playoffs in Orleans vs GS he still scored 25 or 30 points every game ,except only one game in 2018 playoffs .

    Don't care who's reffing, and won't be complaining about refs like Warriors fans have.

    Luckily, Warriso themselves aren't complaining about the refs - and that scares me.

    That's a damn good team that doesn't make excuses when they lose unlike loser a** franchises like suns, kings, nuggets, etc.

    They complain all game, during the game though. I don't know why they would expect to get a lot of foul calls, mostly shooting jumpers. However they are about as annoying as everyone else, what the constant gripes, about not being allowed to get away with hacking folks. They do seem to feel entitled, to getting away with more than their fair share of that. They call it " Defense ".

    Remember when people were dissing Booker in this forum? Lol
    What a masterpiece yesterday. That series is being tons of fun, no defense and stars going at each other. Murray is not the same caliber of the others, it may decide the series

    We should respond by using the same starting 5 and punishing them brutally inside. They are desperate. We just need AD to dominate from the tip off. Bron should feast in the post, shooting 4-5 threes total.

    I don't know about that strategy..Payton can't shoot, I guess the plan is to spread the floor, and run and get up as many 3's from Steph and Klay as possible?

    plan is to swarm AD and hope we miss outside shots and/or turn the ball over. i'd treat payton like we did looney, though. basically don't guard him. if he scores 30, they win. every shot taken by not curry/thompson is a win, imo.

    we need to be disciplined on offense here. that's not force feeding AD in the post against triple teams, though. i'd get lebron the ball at the elbow and make them make choices.
