Android17: Naaaa.. There is a reason the Lakers desperately needed to win this game and that is because they matchup well against the Suns in comparison to the Jazz. The Jazz have a deep rotation/ bench despite Mitchel’s absence. Infact, Mitchel’s absence means they can play together and move the ball especially during clutch moments. Mitchell is good but I have always expressed how worried I am about how Mitchel goes ISO, playing Hero ball in the final minutes of games and they ends up losing games. Anyways, I think he will be ready for the playoffs. |

Lol. People are here talking about the Draymond Charge call but somehow won't talk about about his non flagrant call on LeBron. Abegi. 1 Like |

Roland17: I meant for GSW. Lakers wanted this easier path to the Conference finals. They will do a number on the suns but maybe in 7. They will clobber either of Denver or Portland. They will likely face Kawhi and MV-P in the WCF. But from what I have seen, they have no 3 shot. If the Nets pack the paint, they will beat LAL 4-1. |

ovoP: Ignore him. He says things so he will not feel bad. He knew SC outplayed his LeFlop so he is trying to change the narrative. See the way they gave LAL 5 quick fouls at the start of the 3Q to bring them back in the game. Taller more athletic players flopping everywhere. Actors. 1 Like |

You can say what you want about Steph's supporting cast but the Warriors weren't 5th in defensive rating for nothing. You could clearly see why. See the work Wiggins did on LeBron. Add that to the fact that he can drop 20 a night. See what Dray did on AD. Then what about the other 3 and D guys you have? Toscano-Anderson, Bazemore, Mulder. Those guys will knock down shots if you give them the ball. That is a good team and they actually have a shot against the Jazz. |

Roland17:Up by 13 into the half or something. We lost the lead early in the 4th and everyone could tell it took Kerr like 3yrs off his life span to put Curry back into the game. The dude just wanted to play one Mulder by force. 14 2nd half TO. At the stage, Steve Kerr of all people shouldn't know how to hold a lead. Like, every Warriors fan just know when it's coming. We know we're going to blow a lead and we always blow it. Always and it pisses me off. Roland17:The Lakers played poorly by their standards however, we know they are the better team. It's the hope that gets me. Like every Draymond screen was a foul and Davis and Mathew flopping just always got the refs attention. Credit to Bron's 3 pointer though. 1 Like |

Android17:I won't call it home cooking sha. Just some bad calls. As usual, Draymond never gets a chance against the refs and teams get away with bullying Steph. Nothing new here. Our fault we turned the ball over so many times. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 6:21am On May 20, 2021 |
Android17:Steve Kerr sha. It was a good game. Nobody thought the Warriors were the better team and expected a win. Jazz or Suns, it doesn't matter. We stand a chance against those two in the playoffs unlike the Clippers, Nuggets or whatever. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:24am On May 20, 2021 |
Android17: I see what you mean. We are basically saying the same thing now that I get the direction of your argument. |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 6:28am On May 20, 2021 |
But the refs didn't really hear Steve Kerr shouting for a timeout. Must be that face mask. I hate it too when people can't hear me. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 6:34am On May 20, 2021 |
An average team cannot be 5th in defensive ratings. It's impossible. I see the Warriors as the Knicks. Not a lot of big name but guys who really know how to ball on both ends of the floor. The Knicks are not even as talented as the Warriors and yet they're 4th. Steph and Wiggins combined for 50 points per game this season. Bron and AD combined for 47. Wiggins is likely to make an all defensive team this year. Same with Draymond. So y'all can deny the facts all you want, but the Warriors are far above average. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:39am On May 20, 2021 |
SmooshCHN: That really infuriated me because it chopped some valuable seconds off the clock. He was practically running to the other end of the court to get the attention of the referee. The other ref should have seen him making his way across even if they didn’t hear his voice. |

Anyway, I see the Jazz/Warriors going 7 games. Who will win I don't know. If D Mitch isn't playing then it's a no-brainer. |

steady986:The warriors are a difficult team for anyone to handle in one game. They can beat anyone in 1 game including the Nets / Lakers/clippers etc. In a serie though, I think the Jazz may have the upperhand. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 9:21am On May 20, 2021 |
Steph and a bunch of guy who can't score are a difficult team to handle. Abeg why are they difficult to handle? Because they got Steph? I thought he was a phoney? Anyone can win 1 game. The play-in or play off is not just "1 game". Every team from 1st seed to the 7th seed are miles miles ahead of the Warriors so please when the Curry disrespect stop? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 9:27am On May 20, 2021 |
SmooshCHN:I don't know if you are referring to me, your post is just after mine and seems to address it. If that be the case, I do not consider Steph phoney. He is one of the greatest to ever play the game, and there is no disrespect here from my wide. Only the last few games they beat the suns and the Jazz in 2 consecutive nights and with authority. 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 10:52am On May 20, 2021 |
SmooshCHN: And SC can't complain because Damion Lee is stealing a living because of him. Mulder, I have no words. Only scores when we don't seem to need it. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:54am On May 20, 2021 |
Afromentalist: They could have the upper hand quite alright, but when you go into a series with by far the best player in the series then you have a good shot. Beating teams like the Jazz that succeed by committee is much more easier than beating teams with 2 or 3 clear superstars. Especially when they face a very good defence like that of GS. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 10:56am On May 20, 2021 |
Afromentalist: I am not belittling their path. They fought for it because they knew it was easier for them. War is about strategy as well. Even the Clippers tanked the last 5 games to avoid the LAL in the WSemiFinals. |

mattfeuter: Curry was a one man wrecking crew yesterday. On any given Sunday, Curry on any team will beat anybody. Lebron was really rusty yesterday. But he also showed up when it mattered. That clutch 3 reminds me of the AD's clutch 3 in the playoffs last year. This game was a confidence builder for Lakers. For warriors role players too. I think any open minded bball fan can watch yesterdays game and give props to both teams. the game lived up to its billing. I dont understand all this wanking over lebron or seeding, blah blah blah. |
