And this isn't 2015. All that blitzing and getting physical shyt is cute, but it's small potatoes, Kerr and the staff have come up with a variety of counters to that since those early years. Whether it's Steph passing to the wing(avoiding the trap all together) and then chasing it down and playing off of that. Or him flipping it to Dray, spinning back to a Dray handoff. Of course the 4v3s with Dray facilitating, so dump offs etc etc etc. You'll be giving up more wide open looks than not. Steph, at this stage, is either on or he's off, there is no defense that stops him from getting quality looks all game now. He muscled up.

Can Bron keep that hound dog in Loudpack Wiggs out of his jersey is the real concern. There's precedence there in that matchup as well :sas2:

:ohlawd:
Can't wait

They went to 7 with a queens team that had nothing from 3 starters.
Sabonis was a BETA bytch.
We took down the #2 seed with JJJ playing pretty good as a DPOY being an issue for nikkas driving until AD made him his bytch

That Grizzlies series was actually our hardest series and look what happened.

These nikkas ain’t ready for this they not :myman:

I just, I get it. Lakers not a perfect team, there are some real flaws and I expect SF to exploit em...

There's no reality I see this being a quick series if we win. We gonna have to adjust appropriately...

But it's not like the Warriors don't also have flaws, I don't get the fearmongering at all. At ALL. nikkas, even Laker and Bron heads, sounding shook like these dudes Tge Boogeyman...

Not an ounce of doubt in my mind we beating these dudes. If it takes 7 it just does. But LA winning this fukking series, no doubt in my mind!

That's an interesting discussion re: roster changeover.

All the Warriors did was trade their #2 pick for a player [GP2] they had last season, and the Lakers added Vanderbilt, Dlo, Rui, Beasley, Bamba etc. Would we even be talking about the Lakers in the playoffs if they didn't make those moves? And for argument's sake just say they did make the playoffs, imagine what would happen if the Lakers didn't make any moves and the Warriors added another big, another wing and guards....

Brolic... Alcoholics
LeBron played strong D in Rd1. I'm not concerned about his defense...

Im also not holding the expectation that in his advanced age he trabsforns to Bron from a half-decade plus ago. We just need him to be better than he was vs Memphis...

AD absolutely needs to continue being the best defender in ball, and lift his offense to that level...

Defense against the Grizzlies ain't exactly defense against the best run offense in the last ten years. Is he going to chase Klay, Poole, and Steph off screens or man up on Wiggins? That's going to be hard to do at 38. I'm not sure if we have an answer for that.

But I do agree, Davis needs to continue to be monster on defense in this round. That's totally possible.

I don’t see how this is all that interesting…


Of COURSE we wouldn’t be talking about the Lakers in the playoffs if they hadn’t made those rosters moves. Thats why they MADE THOSE MOVES. Its basketball 101. If you can get better pieces then go GET those pieces.

Like isn't the purpose of every team to explore every which avenue to IMPROVE the team's chances of winning a championship

Is there an honor system in place for squads that are mostly homegrown? Who cares?

For every San Antonio and Golden State there's a Miami Heat or Lakers
