The Warriors have taken 49 more 3's through 3 games than the Lakers and are mad that they're shooting less FTs. Not so fun being on the other side of the whistle, is it?

It's funny that they think there's some way Steve Kerr could have stopped Lebron and AD from getting rebounds. They benched Looney because the Lakers were getting a layup line. Fact is Kerr has had to make endless adjustments on offense because his team isn't as good. There's only so far you can go by doing that.

The Lakers are an iso ball team with a deep bench. We got lucky with these trades, but this is a super deep bench. It's hard for the Warriors to beat that kind of team cause the coach can just throw on a guy from the bench who goes on a heater. And because Ham isn't married to the starters he will just leave that dude in the game. We haven't had to make any adjustments on offense this series and we're up 3-1 so I'm pretty happy with that. We reached the point anyway where I'll be happy with the season no matter what.

That one game 7 Kobe got ripped for against the Suns he had twice as many points in a league that was way harder to score in

Another classic Harden playoff stinker. Celtics should have gotten run out of the gym tonight the way they played

Also gotta mention Tobias "better than Jimmy Butler" Harris: 1-7, 2 points
That was one of the worst playoff games I’ve ever seen but I’ll take it.

Tatum having the worst playoff game of his career then icing four three pointers was surreal.

Onto Boston!

If Van Grundy doesn’t make a joke about the Lakers going against the 6th best player in the league according to Mark Jackson in the WCF during garbage time, I’ll be sad!

I feel like we should’ve beaten the Heat but no one did anything other than Brunson. Ugh. We should feel optimistic but I think you gotta take the opportunity when it’s there. Been 10 years since we’ve been at this point, success in the playoffs isn’t guaranteed. I hope we build around Brunson better than we did around Ewing and Melo.

Nice job, Lakers. @909 how do you feel vs the Nuggets? I’m rooting for the Lakers to take it if it’s against Boston or Miami. And I think y’all have a good shot vs the Nuggets.

We beat them twice earlier this season with Westbrook, but we haven't played them since. I like our chances though. The depth we have vs. what they have, it's gonna be tough to match up. Jeff Green still plays big minutes for them, so I dunno
