They already are.

Warriors should go to the lineup that doesnt involve Draymond getting 35 minutes.

That lay up "attempt" he had late was comical.

LOL. Wasn't even close to hitting the rim after it bounced off the backboard.

would have been even more minutes without foul trouble

The way the other 4 dubs on the floor reacted to Poole's 3 pt heave at the end...and even how some of the Lakers did too...seemed like no one was expecting him to take that shot right there from that spot.

But it is what it was.

Gotta regroup and play better.....oh yeah..and get to the FT line more than just a few times.
I think they will...in fact, I know they will.

I didn't hate it. 10 seconds left when he shot it. It was a tough shot, but he was open and they needed 3 points to tie the game. He's made 28 footers before. He made one earlier in the game. If he dribbles closer, he's not open for a 3 anymore and it didn't look like anyone else was open for a 3. I don't know if they would've gotten a better 3 point look on that possession. Steph was covered. If Dray didn't have that technical earlier in the game, maybe the Dubs could've shot a 2 pointer on that possession.

Meh....I'm already over it....and looking forward to Thursday.
Was only the 1st game. There's still a long way to go in this series.
Hope they change some of the strategy on a few things for game 2 (I'm sure Kerr will)

 

[trojanfight]

im getting the feeling the lakers withstood the warriors at their best from 3 point range. 21 3's is more than any of their 1st round games. pointing at jordan poole to have inconsistencies to his game much like in the 1st round.

Against AD?

Unless the Warriors plan to shoot 80% from three, this is a bad idea

Having Doucheman guarding AD might be their best chance. Though they’d lose any rebounding edge with Looney sitting.

 

[DJ]

LMAO.

Yep.

 

[DJ]

As the Warriors, how do you stop that though. They literally have no one to contain him

Nope.

 

[DJ]

How many fouls do you expect the refs to call for GS when they are shooting 53 3's in a game?

Meanwhile, the Lakers have Davis eating down low and LeBron and Co driving the lanes.

Maybe the Warriors should stop shooting 53 3's in a game if they want more FT attempts.

Insanity.

 

[bksballer89]

Draymond said he liked that JP 3 attempt. Just wished he stepped in a little

 

[fightinfunbags]

AD was a beast last night. Looney…that ain’t undersized Sabonis anymore. That’s a real man.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Last night showed why I think the Lakers come out of the West. They’re the only squad that defends like a mother fuck and has real rim protection left in the West.

 

[trojanfan12]

They already are.

Funny thing is...even Steve Kerr said the foul difference was their own fault.

 

[trojanfan12]

Damn the Warriors can erase a deficit fast. Thought that 2 minute stretch was going to cost the Lakers the game after they had controlled the 2nd half.

It was a great move by Kerr to go zone. He probably should have employed it more. The Lakers have struggled to shoot from distance all year. Going zone takes these guys who are trained by creating muscle memory at “their spots” to reassess and get off their spot because that’s where the open look is.

And it really wasn’t “fast”. It took place over 4.5-5 minutes. Better shot making from them and they win the game.

 

[shopson67]

They can’t let AD get wide open looks early. Once he starts early he is on. They made life easy for him.

AD played the whole second half. Hopefully he gets his rest and doesn't come out flat on Thursday.
