They weren't scary last year. They're just a really tough, veteran team with a decade of winning chemistry and one of the best basketball players ever. That said, when AD brings his A-game, they're probably the 4th best team remaining in the West. If they advance to the Finals this year, the conference should be ashamed.
May 9, 20232 yr LeBron just needs to sit if he's gonna settle for threes he can't shoot threes man. Feed him in the post for more sky hooks he can make those look so easy
May 9, 20232 yr Walker is a real one Can't believe the actually called an illegal screen for once on the warriors lol Scott Foster apologizing to Kerr afterwords one of his refs got out of line
May 9, 20232 yr Lonnie Walker looking like Micheal Jordan in the fourth quarter of this game is really really blowing my mind.
May 9, 20232 yr Now there’s the Lonnie I know. Airball, bad turnover and then foul. Ham should pull him before he screws up again.

May 9, 20232 yr Warriors offense seems so strange compared to what it used to be. I guess in that the shots are not falling.

They are calling moving screens so they don't have much of an offense besides that. Their whole thing is ton of movement and passing but what's getting guys open is screens. Lakers are switching everything pretty solid and fucked up a few times on cuts but other than that staying in front and getting a hand up.
May 9, 20232 yr it ain't over. This is the most important game in the NBA this year so far. If GS wins, they'll win the title.
May 9, 20232 yr LeBron shooting like 19% from 3 in the playoffs dude just needs to stay inside the arc man. They are giving him the three for a reason.

Yeah, and especially when they put a big guy out there on Curry. Warriors are 12/41 from 3. I think Curry is about 3/15 from 3

I wanna see Durant and Book vs AD and LeBron. Two different styles. One plays D, one doesn't. One has bigs that bang, other has guys that can shoot the lights out. Should be fun. Go Suns

May 9, 20232 yr Steph played hero ball and then doesn’t fall timeout on the floor. Just terrible. Walker played the best game of his life.

LeBron can't take over games singlehandedly anymore, and we're not going to be talking about how the Warriors dynasty was ended by Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and D'Angelo Russell. See, I was right: we're going to be talking about Lonnie Walker ending the dynasty.
May 9, 20232 yr what is with this terrible shot selection at the end of these games by these all time great players? not once in your career do you need to pull up from 25-28 feet when down by one. that's maddening. both steph and lebron did this. then steph gets 1 v 1 with AD and just dribbles in place and then shoots a one footed fade away. BRO. you're down one. what are you doing.
May 9, 20232 yr GM Rob Lowe did a hell of a job rebuilding them mid-season. Dumping non shooters Westbrick and Pat Beverly and giving more minutes to Reaves/Walker was clutch. It aint over. Win G6 in LA is very doable and LA isn't going to win G7. GM Rob Lowe did a hell of a job rebuilding them mid-season.

May 9, 20232 yr Just now, Zeus said: 14 assists is sweet from Curry but 3/14 from 3 is LeBron tier Klay was a ghost I think it was Game 2, the blowout by the Warriors when Thompson had a great shooting game, I said something to the effect that they needed old-time Klay Thompson and if they got that they would be hard to beat. They are getting Old Klay Thompson instead.
May 9, 20232 yr Seems like Klay Thompson hasn’t fully recovered from his injuries physically and definitely mentally…but the Lakers are quick and long on defense. I didn’t think this would be a bad matchup for the Warriors. That SAC series took a toll as well. This could still go 7 but I don’t see GS having the energy to win that last game.

It's sweet when it goes in and it's Stephs shot when he's missed 2 in a row I'm sure he's thinking the next one will fall. Dude will make like 20 in a row warming up from 3 ft behind the line

May 9, 20232 yr Tomorrow Booker is 34-for-43 (79.1 percent) from the field in the last two games and is shooting 66.7 percent from 3-point range in those wins. And 7.5 point spread for the Celtics Will James Harden get it going or just coast to another blowout?
May 9, 20232 yr just heard these stats from nba mvp joel embiid in the 4Q last night: played 9 min, 23 seconds. scored two points on 1-6 shooting. was blocked by al horford three times. he does this on the same day that jokic goes for 53 and 11 assists on a 67/50/85 slash line. so many peoples pimped embiid so hard this year, and he won the mvp in a landslide, only for him to quickly remind everyone that he is not on nikola jokic's level.

Not being able to use Looney in this series kills GSW. His minutes go to a bunch of subpar, mostly undersized wings. It's brutal for any team to match up with LeBron/AD playing 43 minutes each, especially when the matchup necessitates that you go small. I don't think there's a great solution on this GSW roster other than (i) run even more Steph PnR to wear out AD and keep him away from the rim and/or (ii) hope Klay hits shots.
