steady986:Putting troy brown on curry is a disaster waiting to happen, I think they was a moment in the game that he failed to get across a screen quickly which resulted to a wide open 3 for a GSW player |
Re: The NBA Begins by Maynman: 10:00am On May 03, 2023 |
Tinneh:Yeah, The GSW player was Thompson and it was a back to back bucket. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 12:01pm On May 03, 2023 |
Tinneh: Honestly, no one is perfect in guarding Steph. Steph will still do his thing. One mistake and you're punished. Troy has a few inches on Curry which can come in handy, and he's quick with his feet. And he'll knock down 3s at a higher rate than Vanderbilt. |

donlittle25: Baba, I don't like our coach, he has not impressed me and I no dey hide mouth talk am. He puts us in situations where we are either choking leads or losing games in the final 2 minutes of a game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:55pm On May 03, 2023 |
Tinneh: Those shots go in all the time. For the warriors, those are normal shots. Go look at all the 3ptrs Warriors took that game. With the exception of Klay, Warriors shooters like to break the rules of long range shooting. Feet set? Nah. Lean in? Nah. Square shoulders? Nah. Its why they are about impossible to guard, you cant predict when they will let the ball fly. And it has won them more games than they lost. So I dont think this can be put on Poole. If that shot goes in, folks would be singing a different tune. 2 Likes |

donlittle25: It's the way the Warriors play and to some extent the new NBA. The Warriors did not get any FT until the 3rd Q I think and that is because they take a lot of 3 point shots. The frequency was higher yesterday because they looked fatigued after a grueling series against the Kings and tried to compensate their fatigue by shooting a lot more 3s. The Lakers have good size under the rim to protect the bucket. The Lakers controlled the pace of the game and limited their transition buckets which is what the Warriors thrive on. The Warriors have no answer for AD who can dominate both ends of the board, particularly the offensive board because he is too skilled for any big on the Warriors roster. With all that being said, it is only game 1 and the Warriors are never dead in any series. They also finished the game well and had a chance to tie the game, so it wasn't all bad. Their experience guides them better than any team I seen in modern history. Kerr will make some adjustments going into game 2. 5 Likes 1 Share |

D. Hamm, the rookie head coach of the Lakers did not need rocket science or head coaching experience to assign a double team against a lethal shooter like Curry immediately he crossed into the Lakers half with seconds to go. But you see Mazzulla, he needs a data analyst, fans and the entire world to tell him Harden who had been smoking us all game needed to be doubled before he hit that 3, which ultimately cost us game 1. 2 Likes |

birdman: We are stealing or at worst also splitting the 2 game series in Philly! If not for Mazzulla's madness, we should be 2-0 going into Philly. |

Today's game may be an indicator of how long the series will be. If the Lakers win this, it will be a very short series. Max 5 Games. If GSW wins (this is my expectation actually) then the series might go to 7 games. If it gets to 7 games , then GSW will win it all. The Lakers therefore better play this game as a Game 7. 1 Like |

Roland17: I would say split. Embiid has yet to have an MVP game, and its likely he has one at home. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Afromentalist: 6:51pm On May 04, 2023 |
birdman:Yes. I also believe they will bring Kuminga and / or Double Team him aggressively (as he is made of glass). This would mean LBJ and some role Players will have to up their game. Also the Zone defense of GSW might be a challenge if the Lakers are not prepared. |
