Great adjustment by Kerr

Vanderbilt on Thompson. I think they can live with curry going off if it’s only him.

My post aged very poorly…lol

Its almost formulaic.
I wish I was more of a sports bettor.

Anytime the higher seed loses game 1,
they almost always get a lopsided easy win in game 2.

I feel like it happens 80% of the time in the playoffs every year.
Heck, the Cavs, Bucks, Celtics, Grizzlies, Suns, Knicks have already done it this playoff run already.

Funny how that works.

A team with Lebron and AD should never be down by damn near 30.

Why not

Well played Golden State, well played

 

[10HtownRebs]

Why not

Cause they're the greatest.... ever

 

[Mecca]

Well, Lakers fans….

It could be worse.

You could be Magic’s kid’s balls.

Take the split and move on….

Mission accomplished. James informed everyone in the locker room before the game to take the night off. Game 3 is in LA

Anthony every other DAYvis strikes again.

If that Dude plays consistently, Lakers would go to the Finals.

I don’t expect him to play otherworldly every game.

But, he can’t score 11.

I miss the basketball that required skill. The Kobe waiving off a Karl Malone screen. Now it’s 7 or 8 screens in one possession. Thompson isn’t in the league without endless screens and picks

I don't think it's entirely on him. As a big, he depends on others getting him the ball.

Having said that, He does need to be more assertive about getting/demanding the ball. But at the same time, the whole point of the trades was to take some of the load off of AD and Lebron.

It's almost like they're taking turns. AD does most of the work one game, then everyone else does the work the next game. This is part of why I don't see them winning the title this year. They don't know each others games well enough yet.

It is a team sport. There will be multiple screens said every possession
