I'm a GSW fan and I have to agree with you sadly

I don't see a way around the layers

We don't have a good bench and our shooters have been having off nights far more than is allowable

Layers in 6 or 5

I'm still holding out hope that you guys spring a surprise and pull a rabbit out the hat. But at this point like you rightly pointed out. The bench is weak and Klay is not the same Klay of 5 seasons ago. His floor is at an unacceptable level. I want to see if Andrew Wiggins will bring that inside scoring

steady986:


But is 38 not old enough for you people? You people still scrutinize my guy at 38 the same way you scrutinized him at 28. Yes the series is LeBron vs Steph based on name and history between the two, but if you expect LeBron to be trading buckets with Steph in this series then you're in for a disappointment AD is the man now

steady, they have already started saying Lakers are the favorite . Ha people, please fear God! Defending champs full squad, no injuries, versus a team put together in the last 2 months, with one superstar almost retiring, is now favorite. Lol!! So Vegas no sabi bball again? The excuses continue.

This is going to be tough. The main issue with warriors is they have a squad that has played together a long time, they know their rotation, all players know each other. I dont see what rotation Lakers could throw together that would slow down ball movement. This series, Lebron/AD will have find some magic. The role players cant possibly win this

yup. that is the only reasonable way. opinions are just opinions until you can put money in. So it looks like the streets are putting this at 60/40% with the Lakers likely winning only if they can push to game 7. First 2 games are in Oakland, so GSW has home court. This makes sense imo. A 2-0 hole for the Lakers would be terrible

Shior awon alailojuti.

Just like the Grizzlies series, what's funny is if you swapped Steph for Bron on that Lakers team, the Lakers will jump from 'underdogs' to favorites.

So it begs the question why do Bronsexuals convulse when people say Steph is better or the most dominant player of the era. I've never seen this kin confusion before. Why call him the best and even with this solid squad still say he's an underdog. You don't know being the best comes with expectations?

This team put together in the last 2 months have been the best team in the West since the Allstar break. Wetin concern Vegas with what plays out on the actual court? Keep telling you people if you follow Vegas you will go bankrupt. Only amateurs still refer to that useless piece of information in isolation before betting.

I want more than anything for the Lakers to get dumped out so I'm proven wrong but this shamelessness wey una dey display is just sad. Lakers were 3-1 in H2H vs the Warriors but you people want to be underdogs so bad cos you're scared your guy might lose. Make una show some balls and conviction for once nau

Embiid needs to visit one Baba in Cameroon. The timing of these his injuries is not ordinary eye

Bro. Not to shit on LeBron or his legacy.
But LeBron has always played won with a super team. He has never won with any team similar to the 2015 warriors or the warriors of last season.
Curry is a better performer than LeBron. His fans clearly know this, else they won't tag him to be an underdog. Curry would have 8 rings if he played with the kind of squad LeBron had.
Imagine Curry playing alongside Wade and Bosh, or with prime love and kyrie.
Or Curry with AD. He'd have left Miami with 4 rings atleast.

Skrrrrrrr:

Lol when I say these people talk from both sides of their asses I'm not even being facetious. I couldn't believe my eyes seeing fans of the so called best player accept underdog tag vs Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. Let's assume bookmakers were dumb enough to parade such foolishness shouldn't you the fans know better?

That's why I said take out Bron and put Curry on that Lakers team and these same people will tell you the Lakers are favorites. They are confused

But then again I'm not surprised. Even in his prime they found a way to make him the underdog even with that loaded Miami Heat team. Why are you now the best if you're always the underdog no matter how good your squad is. Abi they don't know being the best comes with expectations?

Sixers have surprised me this far. Only 3 pts down

Harden playing D. My my...

In other news, all this shalaye, on top 38 year old man. Make u na fear God o

Harden on redemption mission.

You people should have some shame please. Can't be underdog in your early years, prime, mid prime, latter years. Underdog from start to finish. Na wa

These long play reviews are killing the momentum of our offense. We continue to struggle with defending perimeter shots but did a better defensive job in the 4th.

Oh boy! We blew that play.

Mehnn Sixers no gree oh

Not shocked Harden made that shot! I could have predicted that. We have allowed opponents stay in the game during this post season.

That dagger on Al Hoford was nasty

James Harden has played like someone who is going to demand a supermax this summer

There goes game 1.

Celtics were 1.2 to win according to Vegas. Meanwhile $100 on Sixers would have given you $445 extra. I'm sure many mugus will have ran and gone to give Celtics the win because Vegas knows basketball

Roland17:
There goes game 1.

Ngl if you guys lose this series I will join Ime Udoka to dance etighi at the Celtics

Didn't expect this game to be a low scoring slugfest. Peak 90s early 2000s basketball

Predictions according to sport analysts.

Lakers vs GSW

Lakers in 6

One Bronsexual claimed Lillard was better than this James Harden. I always maintain Harden adjusted his play style to mesh with Embiid. Cos he desperately needs a ring. Doesn't mean he can't turn it up when necessary....

Afromentalist:

Predictions according to sport analysts.

What's the difference between you and these "sport analysts" and what informed analysis did you see in that image you just posted?

Most of them picked Boston last year and we saw how that turned out.

If the nuggets steal this game with Murray and Porter performing this badly, there may be no comeback from the suns. They do not have enough scorers. Durant and Booker cannot outscore the nuggets..

Sixers vs Nuggets

Embiid vs Jokic final would be quite the matchup. Let's see if basketball gods can make it happen.

Barring catastrophe I don't see these Suns getting past Nuggets. They got away beating a short handed Clippers squad. No shot they win 4 of the next 5 games with 2 still to be played in Denver

Skrrrrrrr:

There is no comeback for the Suns if you ask me. They are skint.

As the resident lillard hater, I will say even trae young has a bigger playoff legacy than lame lillard.

The only so called superstar that gets no scrutiny.
Harden was MVP contender for several years, won one and took several teams weaker than what lillard had to conference finals. Na PR and forming cane loyalty harden no get. If harden gets one ring he's only behind Jordan, Kobe, Wade as a shooting guard for me.

A prediction is just that. A prediction not a prophecy.

The point here is not to debate whether it will turn out as predicted but which team as of now is considered favorite.

Bookmakers consider GSW (defending champion o!) the top team. Sport analysts overwhelmingly predict the same.

Why do you want us to consider your OPINION as supreme with regards to which team is the underdog except you are actually the one with a not so hidden motive to use it as an argument to despise Lebron should the Lakers fail?

Me relaxing while I watch others decide whether the Lakers are the underdog or not.
