Why have there literally been 5 timeouts in the last few minutes? It’s not even a close game.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

If AD is concussed then Warriors have a real chance at coming back this series

Whoa. He was on a wheelchair being taken to the locker room  :o

Got to be doubtful for game 6 at this point.

To me that indicates a concussion. Inability to walk steadily for a guy that tall would make me worry

Hope AD is okay, concussions are dangerous.

For the sake of his health tho, he should just sit out for the rest of the season and recover. With his team

Now it's 3-2. AD goes as far as the Lakers go.

Warriors better take advantage of this while they still can. Denver better wrap up their series quick, too.

Btw as part of the lakers love fest we had people calling vanderbilt the second coming of Gary Payton in this thread. He has been rendered basically unplayable the last two games bottoming out today with ten minutes, zero points and a -16 for the game. Guess a you tube clip doesn’t make a player?

He doesn't fit their team at all. He's a rebounding forward with limited shooting, the kind of guy who would thrive alongside an Al Horford type 3&D 5, or a wizard like Jokic. Not an interior big man like AD. Trying to make Vanderbilt a corner shooter is dumb by Ham

Oh I know. He is not a great fit for them cause of his shooting. We had multiple people sharing YouTube highlights of him guarding curry while on the wolves and declaring he would shut him down. He is down to 10 minutes, didn’t play at all in second half of third or 4th. He is not a key piece to this series.

Darvin Ham said AD is doing really good already during his post-game press, so there's that  ???

Too bad the Heat don't have a player like Jimmy Butler who's sheer will to win would have put the series to bed against New York last night.

Game 6 is the series for GSW-LAL. If GSW wins, I think they comeback and win the series. I don't see Golden State losing a Game 7 at home.

Wonder if Game 6 Klay shows up

So right, Miami came out and didn't even fight to keep the game close. They just folded down the stretch. Clearly Miami took the night off because they're up.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Spoelstra should have told them to shoot more threes.

Nuggets are cruising. Looks like they will be the first team to advance from the 2nd round.

Well-deserved.

I picked DEN to make the Finals, and I still feel that way
