So many of these drives for GSW are out of control. Steph Curry the biggest offender. Then Draymond with a couple of bad drives. Poole with one there.

I hate the way they give those timeouts. The player should have more control over the ball before they give that.

GSW tied up Schoder so quickly after that rebound.

The Lakers have 21 3P FGA to the Warriors 44 and they’re up 10. Mazzulla’s head would implode with that one.
He'd say they are not shooting enough 3s.

Given they are 14th out of 16 teams in the playoffs at 31% 3FG% and were 25th in that stat in the regular season they definitely don’t want to be shooting more than 20  :police:

Surprisingly the Dubs are only shooting 34% compared to the Celtics shooting 40%…i guess curry is killing it but the others aren’t so much

That Poole 3 will be great for the Warriors chemistry.

Reminded me of the Carlton 3 from Fresh Prince.

Yet when we play them they're a well-oiled machine
Back to wanting Joe fired.

GS had no business winning tonight but they still almost stole it. They can keep Poole because he takes some of the dumbest shots I’ve ever seen.

Hmmm.
The level of basketball played in that lakers/warriors game was a complete different level then what I’m seeing from the Celtics.

Lakers made all the right moves at the trade deadline, while we made none...Pretty sure we could have had Vanderbilt...SMH, No. 18 coming this year for our rivals.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

The Fakers may have been the strongest 7th seed ive seen in history...when AD and LeWhine are healthy its like they are a top 3 seed in the West.

But i still think the Warriors will beat them. Heck the dubs came back from 2-0 so this is nothing to them where as these Fakers may have already gave it their all but i dont think they can really keep up with the Warriors if the dubs would just play fast.

Idk about that, Davis been putting up 30/20 on some occasional nights and he been relatively healthy in the postseason. If he puts 20/20 the rest of the way this series what player do they have stopping him lol. Nevermind Vando and Schroder locking down Curry, they've been successful or tight tonight. I saw that matchup coming.

Now GSW needs to defend Game 2 and steal one on the road, where they have struggled mightily this season. Still hopeful, have GSW in 7.

Wouldn’t count out the warriors by any means but they just lost home court advantage which seems pretty significant to me in this series and the lakers are playing amazing, clearly best in the league right now.
