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

[ElPatron1]

Dammit I came here to post this!

Warriors in 7, home court matters.

Lakers will be much tougher defensively than the Kings, and Looney won't dominate the glass. But the Lakers don't score like the Kings.

Like the Kings series this could go either way, only sure thing is 6-7 games

Home court and better coaching should favor GS. Also the lakers prob wanted Sac bad. GS won't be scared of the moment like Sacramento would.

Either way i have a feeling lakers fans will bet heavy on game 1 for the Lakers, so i will take GS again in game 1.

Unfortunately though someone will also win. One of these teams is in the WCF

Well for now I’m trying to see the bright side

Nice 2nd half bet today

It's funny how little the regular season matters once the playoffs start. Warriors couldn't win on the road, then win game 5 and 7 convincingly.

It's literally a whole new season.

First ever 6 vs 7 in the playoffs, first ever Lakers vs Warriors

Ratings bonanza coming

5/8 and 6/7

 

[msgkings322]

5/8 and 6/7

Yep I think it's also the first time a 5, 6, 7, and 8 seed all advanced

 

[Black Adam]

Lakers in 7...

This could be a classic...

Yup. They stated that during the final minutes of the broadcast. I guess it's further evidence of how regular season games aren't being treated with the same urgency as years past. Teams are gladly and smartly giving it less importance.

Warriors in 6. I think the kings are a better team than the Lakers.

That plus this is the parity people say they want...no superteams, lots of good ones, no one too far in front of the pack

Not the Lakers since the trading deadline though...but perhaps

I could not resist to get opinions on something else.....started a poll.

*Hides from Big Red*

Dude, who cares.

We just had that conversation the other day, no?

Nobody, gives a shit about what the Clippers will do next year while there is actual basketball being played….lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Gotta give the head coaching edge to the Warriors

Uh, yeah…..lmfao

This series will come down to 1 thing….imo

Is their inside brute force superior to your outside shooting?

If Anthony “ takes off every other day to “ Davis shows up the whole series, Klay can’t turn back the clock and you get Jordan “kiddie “ Poole?

Gonna be rough for the Dubs.

If Davis and Klay play well?

Toss up series.

Right, lotta variables, really could go either way

They will be better rested and won the Season Series.

If they are gonna get one in San Fran, game 1 would be my guess.

Lakers and their fans are confident and they should be.

All 4 remaining teams have a legit shot at the Finals.

 

[msgkings322]

Ws favored by 4.5 game 1, seems about right with home court

 

[DJ Fieri]

The W's win game one, but I like the Lakers +4.5.

Just putting it out there.....no reason.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Lakers in 6. I think they’re going to win the West.

Bold prediction, but seriously, it COULD happen...

That'd be a story, huh? A play-in team making the NBA finals...?
