You people should just stop being prisoners of the moment. Better coach can make key adjustments that will derail this Lakers game plan.

lol my guy, only a shooting clinic can get warriors this series and they aren’t young anymore.

you need personnel to make game plan, sometimes you just don’t have it.

The length lakers have, Only Nuggets can match them. Length for length.

People will attack u for saying the truth.m

Don't reply them..

Most Nigerians hate truth

Omo me sef no happy as Lakers dey win but I can't deceive myself as it's playing out is how I predicted months back

Only super saiyan shooting and the Lakers down tooling is the only way the Warriors can be saved

How many times them jam for regular season wey dem wipe Warriors even before reaching their final form. Unless Kevin Durant walks through that door I just don't see it.

The size disparity is almost insurmountable. And then the free throws which means foul trouble every game

I agree totally. KD would change the series and it most likely will be a sweep. Guy needs to leave phoenix and back to the warriors.

The nuggets series is what i am after. I believe jokic negates AD and his playmaking ability forces lakers hand too.

GSW are back in this.
Lakers just need to run the clock

Shame no go gree am go back Warriors but if Draymond leaves who knows? He might have made peace with the fact he couldn't do it on his own.

I don't know if Jokic negates AD entirely but with Jokic the Nuggets will have someone that can get buckets on the inside when the outside shot is not falling. He will need to get his physicality up and stay outside foul trouble though. The Lakers are not as reliant on AD as the Nuggets are on Jokic. Guys like Porter and Gordon are going to be the X factors

Hachimura didn’t even play much today, lakers too deep!

That was scary as hell

Sometimes, You have to admit you are not that guy, make peace with it and move on. You are not a batman, You be robin.

He is just not that guy and it’s okay.
The other guys on the team are athletic, quick, young and agile. They will disrupt things for the lakers.

The only issue here is experience. Lebron and AD.

but looking at coaching, I think nuggets are okay and should be able to win the series.

Anyways, Warriors will take game two i am certain, Still a long series here i think but might be over quickly

Reading some people here it is as if it is just a walk in the park for LA. You are just pretending so that the minute the Lakers fail you can spew your hate and thrash them.

The last minutes of the game just showed the series is competitive. It is going to take a good 6 games for any of these teams to win. This is just game 1.
.

The thing i hate about 3 point shooters that isn’t klay or curry is what poole did. Open lane to the basket, and you shot a three from 28 feet with enough time left on the shot clock

Omo series don over.
Draymond just dy burn calories, I still felt it was a mistake by lacob not to at least trade for a big man during the season. You can't solely depend on looney and draymond two undersized big men especially since you traded Wiseman away.

You need someone that can play just even 5 mins and commit hard fouls.

The Lakers are just too balanced. I think stever kerr needs to say Bleep it and play four wings with looney or draymond and hope for shooting to catch fire.
Another thing is AD is locked in today, tomorrow him fit dy behave like ode.

The refereeing in both games today also get k leg. The warriors had 6 free throws and Lakers like 40+ , how is that possible? In a playoff games na so Lakers defense perfect reach?

This tension in this game reminds me of the series where Lebron had to overcome the Celtic big 3. Wow!

First, Curry. I am convinced this cat's game is spiritual. I watched him for long periods, and what he does on the floor, I am not sure how he is doing it. There has to be an inner game this man is playing. A half second mistake by a defender and next thing a 3. Forget Klay, forget Durant. Curry has always been the engine of this team.

Kudos to the Lakers for not folding under the 4Q assault that was surely to come. Lebron picked up at the right time to chip in points. The role players looked bewildered a bit, but they kept calm and didnt make mistakes. AD is definitely the game MVP, beast mode. Game 1 to the underdog!!!

I don’t agree with this though. If AD is not coming out with 30 plus point, The lakers will head home, Truth of the matter is Lebron isn’t that guy anymore. Father time has caught up with him and a spectacular play here and there doesn’t change that. It should be AD team, Lakers go as far as he goes. Tonight showed it, Without him, They lose

Birdman, You and I team no make playoffs o

I'm surprised no one is talking about the obvious coaching disparity in this series. Steve Kerr is an OG in this game and Ham is a rookie. We saw how Steve Kerr removed Looney from the game down the stretch and played Dray at the 5 with 3 shooters and Wiggins at the 4. What happens? They go on a 14-0 run as a result.

I really don't trust Ham to be a key factor in this series. It's all down to those on the court.

Yup. Usually teams get scared when curry starts raining 3s. Lebron sensed the moment and forced the issue on the paint. If not, Lakers would have lost.

The warriors are the modern day spurs - if you want to rebuild your team, just follow their pattern and get their coaches.

Running around the court, Been the main guy on the team at 35 years of age isn’t talked about enough. How his legs don’t give up his beyond him. Lacob needs to get him a big man that isn’t undersized.

Don’t waste the guy next 2-3 years

That person is supposed to be Kuminga. I'm surprised Kerr chose J. Green over him.

Lol. I knew I would see someone complain about the FT disparity. One might be surprised when they look at the box score, but if you watched the game you'd really not have much to complain about. Barring one or 2 calls, I think the refs did a good job.

Baba this is just what I indicated previously but some people here are hellbent on promoting the narrative that this series is a wrap for LA

Ham did the right thing. That was a bait, to make Lakers go small as well. And that would have been a mistake because the Lakers strength is their size, while the Warriors strength is small ball. That run ended with the Lakers bigs reasserting themselves in the paint. Even when the Lakers didnt score by going into the paint, it still slowed down the game enough for defense to setup on the other end.

You are NOT going to stop the Warriors from making runs. Best you can do is absorb it, dont panic and stick to the game plan. Ham's rotation was actually key here. Again, I saw that Reaves/Lebron combo which I think has potential.

I didn’t see any bad calls.

He just gum body with curry

What scared me tho, it the one or 2 times d guy make split second mistake, na 3 Curry take punish am. Its one thing to be an excellent shooter. Its another thing to have the legs to do it in the 4th q after running all game.

The series is far from over. Just like the Grizzlies in game 2, I expect the Warriors to come back even stronger in game 2.

Anytime you praise lebron, I go remind you say your team gan gan they house.

A lot of analysts talked about this and I agree. The best we can do is take Vanderbilt out and replace with someone like Brown.

I no just understand why we make that kyrie irving trade. This time last year, My team still they playoffs o

And I will remind you how Dallas went from 4th seed to 7th seed, to play-ins to trying to make play-ins to shutting it down. With Luka and Kyrie

I know that the refs body would look at the box score and try to be more lenient to the Warriors in game 2. That's just how these things work sadly.

Exactly. Running all game and still having the legs to do it in the fourth quarter like that is special.

one more ring and i will drop Ajala from my top 15 and put curry there
