Agree with everything you posted.

Regarding the bolded...

Steph should know better. But at a strategic level, Kerr is one of the least proactive coaches I've ever seen. He waits until he gets beat with something before he makes an adjustment. Even something that's painfully obvious to everyone and easy to anticipate.

As if it was news that Davis, Bron, and Vanderbilt were going to be blocking an altering those shots in the key that we were getting against Sac.

We spent the first three quarters chucking threes and avoiding the paint altogether. Then we finally attack in the fourth and act all surprised at the shot blocking.

The solution is to have one of our slashers in the dunker spot getting easy buckets on the draw and dump. Not "make more threes" like those stupid ass TNT talking heads said.

Kuminga, GP2, Wiggins, Moody, even JMG can all play that role.

Kerr will watch the film and figure it out. But he's always letting games slip away while he hesitates.

:martin:
The Warriors were making adjustments all throughout this game, especially when certain players got into foul trouble.

But it's tough to make any real ones that address actual issues during a game, especially in a Game 1 where you've just come off playing a different team with a completely different style of play. No team can play a Game 7 playing one team (then having only one day rest) and then having it all figured out in Game 1 playing a different team.

Kerr is a coach, he's not a miracle worker.

At the end of the day though, every adjustment in the world can be made, but if someone like Wiggins isn't being aggressive on offense and making open shots, Draymond isn't looking to score and Poole stays doing braindead shyt, it's not going to change anything.

AD is the best player on the Lakers by a country mile this playoffs, Bron is his sidekick
Of course. But Bron was the best player thru the regular season, when AD started weak, then had a 10-game heater in December, then went dormant again, then got hurt, then stepped up late for half a dozen games while Bron was out...

Thru all that Bron was consistently strong this year, he was the Lakers best player. There was no 5+ game stretch where Bron looked garbage, he's never had the roller coaster peaks and valleys that Davis has, and Davis did that multiple times this season...

If Bron isn't consistently elite this year we go nowhere...

So no one is in dispute that AD is the Lakers' best player this postseason so I'm not sure what your point is. It's about gotdamn time he steps up, lord know we overdue for him driving the fukking bus. It's been past time...

Yeah sick energy in here. Like mfs was waiting on one of the big 3 of Phoenix to get hurt.
Y'all some clown ass nxggas, I swear.

Sick energy? Are we going to pretend like AD hasn't been perpetually hobbling and holding a body part for as long as we can remember? Or are you going to tell me you'll be surprised if AD goes down with a injury or has to go to the lockerroom for some treatment?

He gon be in a hospital bed needing fluids by game 4

This nikka ain't watched a SINGLE Laker game this year :bryan:



Let me put you on game-- chasing nikkas around all game is ALL Vanderbilt does. That's literally his entire utility for the Lakers. If you think this was a one off, you completely missed the Grizzlies series, the play-in, pretty much every game since the trade deadline. Which is weird because he and Dennis kept Steph at 8-20 in March of this year when we beat y'all for the third straight game.




This is the fourth straight L against the Lakers. FOUR STRAIGHT.


This ain't Dellavedova. Schroder and Vando gone be on ya boy all series, belee dat :ufdup:

You indirectly hoping for it is sick. It's reason mfs calling it out. His injury past is his injury past. It's about you addressing it in the manner you did. Keep trying to cape for yourself though. I know you got time and energy. Have at it

He’s autistic breh. He’ll be screeching and upping threads and mentioning KD if they win the next game. Lakers in 5 and boogeyman Bron is back on they neck with no KD to save them:russell:
"No KD to save him" this cracka says, as if they didn't win a title last season. Nasty work from KD stans trying to deflect.

:picard:

AD only had two field goals in the second half. When all those bumps start piling up and his legs get weary, we'll see if he has the same impact on offense.

:yeshrug:
Bruh what are you even saying :mjlol:

There’s only 1 days rest between each game and the Warriors are actually LESS rested because they just played a Game 7 on Sunday. You think their legs won’t get tired too or what? Somehow over the course of this series only the Lakers will be fatigued, of course. :mjgrin:

Your dikkriding has gotten to the point where you’re actually subtly wishing for injuries. Absolutely shameless work :dead:

What did the Lakers do on defense that was a surprise today?

This is Shaq and Kobe so if they win the chip then we are going to have to revisit some of your Kobe slander
