GS -7 for Wednesday night. Which tells me this series is very much live.

Feels like Lakers in 6 or GS in 7. And neither would surprise me tbh.

So many good looks. Make or miss league.

If role players go for 15 in the last quarter, you have to live with that.

Kerr finally realised that Poole is unplayable at least.

That end game for the Warriors was embarrassingly bad. Curry 3-14 for 3, klay 3-9. Literal two best shooters ever going 5 for 23 and Lakers barely win which shows how badly they need the refs whistle.

I mean when you can't buy a bucket down the stretch and Lonnie walked would be your 2nd best scorer and it all happened in the 4th you are going to lose. That game was so damn ugly.

Curry was amazing other than the abysmal 12-31. One of the worst shooting games I've ever seen him have and he was still madly effective. By far the most dominant player on the court.

Moody was pretty damn good last night, especially defensively.

Klay’s last two shots were pathetic.

Steph’s late game shots were suboptimal, but you live and die with him

Celtics are legit blowing mud every time they get in the paint and see Joel.

If you’re going to **** on Steph’s shots you’ve literally watched the dubs play for…idk…36 hours?

Live by the sword die by the sword. Bummer that he took that 3 in a 1 point game but id never call it a bad shot if he’s the one who took it

cliffs on Celts game? wasnt able to see it

from looking at the box score, seemed like embiid is basically healthy and regular season embiid. For once, he's ready to go at the most important time of year. Horford probably guards him as well as anyone in the league but Rob/Grant have no chance. And Horford given his age can only play so many minutes, then obviously this is tough to quantify but Horford 0pts probably is some residual wear and tear from the grind of having to defend Embiid.

Derrick White has gone in the tank offensively but he is much better than Brogdon on D, tough decision there.


Doc/Harden/Embiid?......normally i'm not into these narratives but pressure kinda does feel on Phi now, you're up 3-2, everyone is healthy, you're at home, an inferior team awaits in the next rd....Perfect spot for those 3 to choke.

Seeing as how Davis owns Jokic that does bother me a bit but I feel nuggets are more consistent and I have much more faith in their bench than GS which has still played LAL tough. Jeff Green, Bruce Brown, Braun >Reaves, D'Angelo, Vanderbilt, etc.

Suns are different as they'd have the two best players on the court and that'd mean they are good for 2 wins alone. Paul (as much as I hate him) could be the difference maker and Ayton at times is at least big enough and long enough to bother Davis.

If the Lakers progress I expect the current cycle of the playoffs to continue: Lakers open as clear dogs and analysts seriously break it down and conclude they have no chance.

There’s a disconnect because they sucked for a full season and a half plus before they did a couple of the best trades in recent memory. Best record in the West since the All Star break; but the schedule was easy. Beat Memphis in 6; well Memphis were disappointing and injured. If they beat GS it will be about how bad GS were, how they lost it rather than the Lakers won it.

Like I get it, it’s hard to process how a team that was completely hapless in January is 3 - 1 up against the Warriors in the second round. And AD / Bron could break something at any moment and it’s over.

I got a few lakers futures at 75-1 and 50-1 back in dec/Jan because people apparently still haven’t realized that the regular season in the nba is completely meaningless.
