2023 NBA Playoffs

If the Lakers want to win this series, I think they have to pace themselves. They already got one game in GS. If the Warriors start pulling away in the second half they should sub out of some of the starters.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The league office is already working on their apology to Lebron for the overturn. Going to be a lot of sleepless nights.

 

[SteveF]

So obviously Golden State is just not going to play 2 non-shooters at the same time ever again this series if they can help it. GPIII stapled to the bench.
Edit: And obviously no Green+Looney minutes.

The Greens are cooking now but neither is a shooter.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Warriors Came out to Play!

 

[Euclis20]

Even as he ages, I'm not sure anyone in the league can get hotter than Klay Thompson. He might not quite have the range of Curry or Lillard, but his hight and quick high release just make him lethal when he's on.

JaMychal is a 36.8% from 3 in his career. I think he counts as a shooter.

Was thinking the same. They also lack the 3-pt shooting to mount a big comeback. Unless they make a little run by the early 4th, they should pack it in.

Umm.. sure I guess. Sound like a fanboy

That's fair. I still think the Lakers are happy to let him fire away.

Lakers watched the Celtics last night and are pulling a 1986 West Finals tank job.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Can't believe they missed that obvious travel

 

[dhellers]

Good times!

When Bill SImmons accused Magic of that, Magic denied. But not very convincingly.

 

[Kliq]

Lakers played really good defense in Game 1 but are getting shredded tonight, via pretty basic action by GS. Warriors with 90 points, halfway through three and Curry has 10 points.

 

[ragnarok725]

Curry came ready to break down the traps. Curious what the next adjustment will be.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Schroder doing Draymond dirty!!!

 

[nattysez]

Is AD aware there's a game tonight?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Poor Draymond

 

[Kliq]

Harden and Davis on the same team would be fascinating. Such high variance night to night.

 

[nattysez]

That Poole contract looks worse every day.

The Warriors are fully capable of a Celtics-style meltdown where you stop paying attention and it's suddenly a single-digit game.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Absurd

 

[Ed Hillel]

Golden State is gonna win this in 6. Davis isn't gonna go for 30/20 more than a few times in a series, and if he has an off night they're just screwed.

This feels a lot like Sixers/Celtics.

 

[chilidawg]

Harden and Davis on the same team would be fascinating. Such high variance night to night.

Yeah Davis's games 1 and 2 are very similar to Harden's. Game outcomes as well.

 

[Ed Hillel]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Ed Hillel]

Clearly fouled him. Siddown LeBbie.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Laker pain is glorious.

 

[Jimbodandy]

Laker pain is glorious.

Word. A quarter of garbage time was awesome. Lebron seemed to be questioning life at the end of the third quarter. Love.

Yeah, but I wish we could have put more mileage on LeBron and Davis.

 

[Double Down Trent]

Luther and The Rogues ain't no fans of The Warriors, that's for sure. The Orphans, maybe.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Kendrick gets a lot of flack for his hot takes to generate clicks/looks. I did LOL just now during his criticism of AD. I'll paraphrase....

"I want to know...how do you go from Anthony Davis, best players on the court in Game 1, to Kendrick Perkins?"

Love this!

 

[Murderer's Crow]

3 off days in-between games is really fucking atrocious. Only in basketball.

Good memory- I thought I was on top of things remembering the Gramercy Riffs, the Lizzies and the Baseball Furies.

 

[jon abbey]

I think it's kind of nice in a series where all the stars (Butler, Brunson, Randle) are dealing with injuries.

 

[128]

I can't think of an elite player whose game is less pleasing to watch than Harden's. It's brutal.

 

[128]

The C's keep challenging Embiid at the rim, and he keeps blocking their shots.

 

[chilidawg]

Booker is such a good 3 level scorer.

 

[bigq]

Jokic's passing is otherworldly.

 

[Euclis20]

Booker/Durant with 48 combined in the 1st half. That'll do it.

 

[lars10]

Booker/Durant with 48 combined in the 1st half. That'll do it.

..there's still a second half.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Phoenix is sagging in the third. Going down 3-0 in the series seems bad. Gotta hold off Denver.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Not a wise foul.

 

[dhellers]

Would you trade JB for Durant straight up? At this point in their careers, I would pass.

 

[ElUno20]

..there's still a second half.

This man watches basketball

 

[Euclis20]

Booker has had a pretty crazy postseason thus far, 35 ppg with a TS% of .666.

 

[shawnrbu]

Another nutshot.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The amazing thing about Jokic is he looks like he’s moving in quick sand but plays like he‘s a second ahead of everyone else on the floor.

 

[Cellar-Door]

25/15/16 line and still losing because his bench got obliterated every second he sat

 

[The Social Chair]

I probably would have Jokic initiate the offense on each possession.

 

[shawnrbu]

Suns in 6.
