Can the CHAMPS Dim the Beam? Official Warriors (#6) vs. Kings (#3) 1st Round Series Thread

[g-ice]

That was an amazing series there brehs

 

[JayGatsby]

Didn’t matter because of Steph and Looney’s greatness

It does because it looked terrible ....can't rely on man like that

I don't even wanna see his shooting stats

Never thought I see Lakers play in da Bay in a playoff game after seein the Dubs come to Downtown Sac.

I'm sure the hour flight will kill them

it's a 500 mile trip on a private jet.

How will they deal with Hour and half flight on a Private Plane

Let me elaborate, a huge part of the playoffs is sleep schedule and routine. Lakers had a very convincing series win, traveling all the way to Memphis and Golden State (a bad road team) struggled with going just up the road to Sacramento.

I feel like with that consideration, the Lakers are at an advantage with travel

The GOAT with the GOAT Game 7 performance got you shaking in your boots.

We don't count first round Game 7s in the pantheon, my friend. You'll learn that as your guy Stephen becomes more highly regarded

 

[Green Ranger]

That man got beat all to hell & back

The Kings had a good season, overachieved but wasn't ready for primetime. I'll give them credit for fighting back Friday night and forcing a game 7. However, the Champs are still the Champs and being battle tested you gotta beat them into submission. Lakers X Golden State- LeBron vs Steph pt 5 gonna be fun. The winner of that series going to the finals.

Sabonis had a 2 month run this shyt exposed him bad

 

[Osmar]

lebron and curry aint passing the torch to these young nikkas

Damn just realized Both series were young teams trying to beat lower seeded team led by Champions.

The "old dudes" came out on top on both occasions

 

[Volt]

GGs Kings.

I've come to grips that the Warriors are repeating. I can't believe this.

They're really not that good on offense. But they offset that by winning the possessions game, rebounding the ball on both ends, and they have size on the perimeter defensively.

Facts! It lived up to the hype and more

 

[42 Monks]

Kings probably would've beat any other team in the west but Denver now that I think on it

 

[Primetime]

will be interesting how the Kings move forward

2021 Hawks
2022 Grizzlies

Now
2023 Kings

Not apples to apples to apples but these guard centric teams without dominant wings or bigs… we’ll see.

Great year for the Kings regardless, Mr. Giannis..now this what we call a stepping stone season and not a failure. With that being said, the Kings will be sick for rest of the summer because this series was theirs to take.
