i expect them to hit 20 threes again and take it by 15, then i expect us to get it done at home. not sure how many more adjustments are left, so it's just execution and luck/health now.
Ham said during Game 2 that when matters where out of hand, he took out his horses to conserve them. The same pattern could occur. It's playing with fire however. I would like to see the Denver-Phoenix go the full seven to get our rest and prep.
We've already seen what Ham can do with a rested squad on the road in Game 1. Would love that scenario to play out for sure. Get our guys some rest.
Yeah, it would be nice to close out the series in SF but I fully expect a blowout. I just want our players to be competitive enough to keep Steph on the floor so he doesn't get to rest up for game 6. I think we close this out back at Crypto and Jeanie thanks Ham for the game 6 revenue.
I would love for DLo, Walker, Schroder, Vando, Rui to keep it competitive while Bron, AD, AR get rest... We can dream?
I'd like to see Beasley go off and hit shots to get his confidence back. Odd how Ham in his presser last night mentioned did not mention him by name in speaking about the role players.
The problem is, they CAN beat us any single game. One game at a time, they have a chance. Other teams I would not even give a chance to, but all these guys gotta do is get hot for 3 games. If they win the next game, then they will be super motivated to win game 6. Puts a ton of pressure on us in that game, if we fold in game 6, we lose the series in 7. Best thing for us to do is win it on Wednesday! End this series and get some rest!
Me too. I'd honestly be surprised if they don't have a double digit lead in the second quarter. Now, if they come out flat, or their shot is just not falling, then we should end it as quickly as possible. But I feel very confident we'll wrap this up in 6.
Lakers in 5. Curry is old and tired and nobody will allow him to score 50 It's a blowout loss and end of dynasty coming tomorrow. This GS team is reminds championship Lakers in 2011 . 2011 NBA Western Conference Semifinals Game 4: Los Angeles Lakers at Dallas Mavericks Box Score, May 8, 2011 86-122
Of course any team CAN win any game, and GS more likely than any other. But it doesn’t matter because I don’t think they can do it 3 times in a row. I get people not wanting to jinx things by thinking this series is over, and if I was a player, I couldn’t think it’s over. But as a fan my opinion doesn’t change things one way or another, and I think it’s over. If not game 5, then game 6.
I’ll just continue to take a one game at a time approach to watching these games. I’m thrilled that we are where we are right now. If you told me at the start of the year after going 2-10 and saddled with the misery bros Pat Bev and Russ that we would have landed in the 7 spot, beat Memphis the 2 seed in 6 and have a 3-1 lead over last years champs I would NEVER believe it. That said, I am hoping we can close it out next game but whatever, whenever, just make the most of this opportunity with a wide open West and do the best we can. Hopefully that’ll be all the way. Love what I’ve seen so far! Incredible postseason!
I think game 5 can go a bunch of ways but 2 outcomes I think are likely to happen. 1. GS gets hot early and the Lakers try to throw haymakers with them and fall behind big. They try to out GState the Warriors and it can get ugly quick. 2. Lakers keep their composure and continue punishing GS on the block and in the paint (Brown taking Curry to the paint, AD attacking Green and everyone, our guards get into the paint) and making the curry's and Klay's defend all game long. outside of those two things I think GS is on the line of imploding. If we keep doing what we are doing and taking it to them. They are going to press hard for this game but we have shown this whole series that we are poised. We need to also attack Draymond who has been close to getting double T'd. In the end, I think we are the better team with more depth but we gonna have to keep the energy, the fire and poise. Im thinking we close it out because of the fact GS is ready to crumble from the inside out. We will see which Lakers squad shows up on Wed. Of topic: Last nights game was amazing to watch as a fan. There was so much drama on both sides. I was like "FK, what the hell, Awe hell nah" so many times it wasn't funny. Really epic game I thought.
I’m right there with ya my Laker Brother! I’m going to add: we have witnessed our Rookie coach adapting and learning as the season has progressed.
I don’t think it is misleading. He’s an all time great, the best shooter ever, and much more, but being clutch and hitting game winners separates players. We’ve watched him for years now and he comes up short in those moments, someone else is the one hitting those shots on the Warriors. I’m just saying, he’s not Kobe, and he’s not LeBron, tired of hearing otherwise
