Turning AD into a jumpshooter > giving him rim runs.
That's how they played Sabonis and it worked.
Dray is one of the best defenders on AD and he knows how to play him better than anyone. GS simply can't allow the Lakers to play downhill in the halfcourt; steering LA away from the rim is the best chance they have at controlling this series.
The lack of production from the Huerter-Sabo 2 man game definitely closes the gap more then you are leading on (especially considering Barnes production vs what he usually provided in the reg season), but yeah ultimately the others will have to show and prove.
That’s how playoff basketball tends to work brother …the defensive intensity steps up … players shrink etc etc… outside of game 6 you saw a similar thing happen with DLo …that’s what the playoffs do to people bruh …that’s why I said the others are going to be incredibly critical for the Lakers this series.
I agree. The margin in which Reaves outplays Poole probably decides if the Lakers win..unless Poole is so bad that hes benched and replaced. If Poole outplays Reaves I'd imagine that's a GS victory
If the lakers stay in the paint and don’t try to match 3 for 3s wit GS, they should win this series, but these nikkas like to do shyt the hard way with trying to shoot 3s
