We should be beating these Lakers. Even with the refs. We're the better team...ON PAPER.

There's a hundred things that can be said about the team, individual players, the coaches, and executives.

But the main thing is this is the SAME TEAM we've watched all year.

The most important thing is, all year we blew leads and lost so many close games. Very un-champ like.

And we've been doing it again in the offs.

There is no switch.

How you play during the regular season creates the habits that take over when you're tired or in clutch situations.

We didn't take the RS serious enough, and now we're reaping what we've sewed.

I don’t agree with that, the lakers are a seriously bad matchup for the warriors. You can’t expect to win a series when your constantly losing the ft battle.

If the Warriors could man up on Bron and AD all game and everyone else could stay attached to their man they'd be winning this series. Yes Draymond has been the primary defender but they are shading towards AD, same with Bron, especially when he goes in the post. It's what is leading to the open shots for the others(depth). Just looks to me like the Lakers have it a whole of a lot easier on offense than the Warriors due sans Curry.

The Lakers defense is more scrambled trying to defend Steph than the Warriors defense is trying to defend AD and Bron.

Again, the difference is, the help for the Lakers is stepping up when needed to and the Warriors' isn't.

Funnily enough, the Warriors have generated more open shots (19% more over the first four games), the problem has been just not capitalizing on it. We saw the same damn thing during the Kings series where Steph had to overextend himself because others weren't performing up to standard. The majority of Lonnie's buckets were self-created in the 4th quarter, hitting tough shot after tough shot; it wasn't like he was wide-open from all the attention on AD and Bron. The Warriors simply didn't have a role player that could step up and replicate what he did.

As I need to keep reiterating, if Poole was even average yesterday (or even Klay), the series would be tied 2-2, and this conversation we're having rn would be entirely different.

I believe they overreacted to the punch and paid Poole early.

If that never happened they most likely let him become a RFA and see what the market dictates.

Myers gotta go foreal.

I still don't understand what this kid's issue is. I remember bro hitting big shots on the biggest stage in the Finals against the Celtics :wow:

Now all of a sudden this man can't even dribble without it being a turnover. WTF? :snoop:
