Bron Vs Steph Pt. 5: Warriors @ Lakers (The Play In Game Thread)

LAKESHOW BY 8

 

One of the greatest NBA rivalries of all time
Complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

On topic: when is the last time Steph lit the Lakers up? He always struggles against them. That Lakers Defense just too great

Spoiler

Steph struggles the most at staples. He’s gone off on the lakers at home...I think.

 

Im glad i got a steph authentic jersey and can recognize a great player. I aint even a warriors fan(spurs forever) but can notice a stealth steph hate thread when i see one.

Man lakers fosho better. Warriors playing better right now tho. Warriors win!

 

Got the Lakers winning this and beating the Suns I’m the first round next

 

Word to the Curry in one game thing.

I’m extremely unhappy that it got down to 1 regulae season game ... when we started out as #1...

That - and I understand we had serious injuries - worries me.

Warriors are in rhythm. Say about Green what you will, but his passing is ELITE. They can cut up a defense. Curry is in his bag.

I see Lakers pulling it off because of experience and size pause. That said: Kuzma disappearing or one of the big two getting hurt, or just bad 3-point shooting which we saw in the Finals at times AND Curry going nuts and getting 1 of the youngins involved from 3.. and we have a real problem..

A slow start: same. We have to play defense and pound the paint, and Menace, LeBron and Davis playing well and the rest hustling... we got this.

Lakers in 1, hopefully and then an “easier” way to the Finals..

 

If the Lakers win there's a good chance Caruso could be the MVP of the game. His defense gonna be key.

I'm concerned Lakers rotations gonna be out of sorts tho and either AD or LeBron is gonna be playing hobbled.

 

Warriors did grab one win off them earlier, idk curry gotta drop 50+ if they wanna win this one

 

I'd say there's about a 10-15% chance right now that these two meet again in the West Finals. Both Jazz and Suns are on instant upset alert in Rd1, no matter which of these they draw both Dubs and Lakers can beat both...

Dubs are peaking at the right time, and Lakers are getting healthy and winning at the right time. Rather have dealt with LeBron and AD injuries when they did, than for Lakers to have been healthy all year, locked up the 1 or 2 seed then a month ago, AD gets hurt, abd 2 weeks ago, Bron gets hurt, then go into the playoffs as the 1 or 2 with both missing the first round...

Do not be surprised if this turns into the WCF. I won't be...

 

i can see that..depends on the matchups tho i don’t watch a lotta laker games so ...cohesiveness could be an issue too

 

I got both Lakers and Warriors making the playoffs whatever seeding they may get. I've seen nothing impressive from the Grizzlies at all and well it would be a miracle if out of 4 teams Spurs would be the ones clinching 8th spot
