Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Schroeder gave them good minutes. Glad they are taking the ball out of Russell's hands.

Why is Wiggins so bad?

KC_Connection · 05-08-2023, 10:17 PM

Schroder going behind the back out of bounds with 4 minutes left in a tie game. Russell can do that shit too.

Yup.

150 seconds tops and they went from up 2 to down 10. And they've been fighting their way back since.

Just a really bizarre sequence and GS made them pay for it.

Similar to the little stretch at the end of the 1st half when Curry grabbed it by the throat as LA seemed ready to take control.

LA may outplay GS for 42 minutes of this game and still lose it. But that's kinda the nature of playing the Warriors.

It is. Playing the Warriors is all about preventing those few runs, which are generally transition-aided. Teams that limit their transition game generally can beat them.

Lonnie Walker is the Lakers' Closer.

DJ's left nut · 05-08-2023, 10:24 PM

Bad possession Lebron. Real bad.

Tie game, you're head up on Curry - you just duff the bunny.

Of course Darvin Ham has Davis do...whatever. Maybe try to get him the ball again, guys. It was working pretty well.

He has the most confident stroke of anyone they have right now. By a lot.

And BOOM - drops another one.

DJ's left nut · 05-08-2023, 10:26 PM

5th foul on Curry - they can't keep him on James anymore, right?

Because make or miss here, they're gonna send James right at Curry if he's guarding him.

DJ's left nut · 05-08-2023, 10:29 PM

Curry - that's awful, man.

You just can't be that ball dominant. You overdribbled like crazy against Davis so you were never going to get a clean look. Then you get an offensive rebound and decided not to run an offense of any sort but just try to shoot over Davis AGAIN.

That's just bad basketball.

jerryaldini · 05-08-2023, 10:31 PM

Lonnie freaking Walker clutch. He and Reaves made up for AD disappearing

KC_Connection · 05-08-2023, 10:31 PM

They called a jump there??

POND_OF_RED · 05-08-2023, 10:32 PM

Klay really killed any chance they had with those 2 terrible shots in the last couple minutes. It was hilarious that they didn’t even include him in the rest of their possessions after those shots.

KC_Connection · 05-08-2023, 10:33 PM

Curry just threw that right out of bounds. This guy late in the clutch is something else.

Curry late in close playoff games has a tendency to do this.
