Series Thread: WC semifinals: #6 Golden State Warriors vs #7 Los Angeles Lakers

[Shaqdaddy11]

I think if the Lakers get a win out of these next two games in San Fran, they will be in a REALLY good position

Schroder needs to start.....I think he is our best option to defend Steph.

Trivia time: Which team has defeated a Bron-led team the most?

Cannot give any hints.

Lakers best shot to win in SF is tonight, they got a lot of rest, Ws didn't, Ws coming off an emotional game 7, might mail it in like game 6 vs the Kings

After tonight the lack of rest (one day between every game) might favor the Ws slightly

I've gotten past trying to definitively rank the god-level players but it's still fun sometimes.

@Black Adam you still hate LeBron? It's ok to change your opinion.

I ain't gotta like him. I'll leave it at that...

 

[Black Adam]

I ain't gotta like him. I'll leave it at that...

I'll add this, actually. Least he ain't saying the dumb shit he was early in his career...well, mostly...

I didn't say you had to. I asked if you've come around yet. Guess I know now

The thing people hate on him the most for (myself included) was the decision moment. For perspective, he was 25 at the time.

Lebron is one of the great dudes of the NBA. Regardless if you like him or not, he's been an excellent role model. He grew up in poverty, never been in trouble with the law, built up his friends to positions of success and has grown the NBA in so many ways. He's literally built schools for children. On top of all that he was given immense wealth and fame from the age of 18.

I have no idea what my life would be like if you gave me 100M (nike contract) and popularity to go anywhere, be with anyone I wanted and have the opportunity to do pretty much anything I wanted. But I guarantee you there would be a ton of really poor decision making, that's for sure.

Even if you hate his political standpoints, Lebron as a human being is untouchable.

What? Mail in a game against Lebron and AD to lose HCA?

Holy shit this is a stupid post.

They did it in game 6 vs Sacramento, could've closed it out in 6 and rested, but they didn't give their best. They just assumed they'd win after a tough game 5 on the road. A let down after that game 7 is very possible. The extra rest is real for LA too.

You think they are gonna win every home game or something? They're going to split in SF, split in LA, then win 5 and 7 is my guess.

Holy shit you're getting overly worked up about this.

The kings are a young and inexperienced team. You dont give lebron james a road win lol. I dont think they win every home game but if/when they lose a home game, it won't be because they mailed that game in

I didn't say "give", I said they might have a let down, it happens. Lakers are rested.

OK shouldn't have said 'mail it in'.

Again, they aren't winning every game.

Once you agree you shouldn't have said mail it in then we are good

OK glad we got that sorted

It happens. I saw the Lakers piss away some games down the stretch where if they'd just won a couple of them, they'd have been the 6th seed or maybe even the 5th.

Then there was game 5 vs. the Grizzlies when only AD remembered they had a game that day.

Hope the refs are better in this game than that crew doing the Knicks - Heat game now.
