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

All good...Dubs will get them back in game 2 on Thursday.

It's been mandated by the league's head office...and the refs already got the memo.

Scott Foster flight plans just changed

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Just stop

Dude...the refs tho.

 

[bksballer89]

Warriors may have to go to their small ball lineup in this series

I see the Lakers getting absolutely crushed on Thursday.

However if by some miracle they win game 2 this series is over

 

[wildturkey]

When he is locked in, he's arguably the best player in the league

 

[Black Adam]

Dude...the refs tho.

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

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

 

[broncosmitty]

What was Poole thinking...?

“Man, Im wide open!”

Against AD?

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

 

[Shanemansj13]

AD player of the game

 

[trojanfight]

Anybody pointing at free throw difference half of their shots were threes and even more than that mid range jumpers not going to net you a lot of fouls

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

It was almost as if he was channeling Russell Westbrook there....lol

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

Looney cant defend AD. All he does is rebound well so bring him off the bench.

Using Draymond at C can bring AD out more. Warriors need to find a way to get some paint points.

With or without looney, they need to send help when AD got the ball

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lakers dodged a bullet late in this game....and they know it.
They also know GS will be changing up some things on offense and defensively for game 2.
I have a feeling the FT disparity will not be as glaring on Thursday, as it obviously was tonight.

 

[msgkings322]

Called it. Gotta win game 2 or they lose in 6. Feel like they will win that one.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

FT's to this point with 5 min. to go

GS --- 5 of 6
LAL --- 22 of 25

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.

 

[bksballer89]

Moving green to C means you go from 1 mediocre shooter and 1 non shooter to just 1. With the way is insisting on protecting the paint, might be better to insert poole for looney

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

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.
