People keep saying this is a must win for the warriors are mistaken. This is a must win for the lakers (along with game 5)and i can tell you why.
1. The lakers probably wont win another game at Golden State this season. So they have to win games 4 and 6 which leads me to.....
2. Since 2015, the only constant in this world are death, taxes, and the warriors winning a road playoff game in every series they have been in. That is an nba playoff record and it something warriros fans can hang their hats on. Whether that means they win game 4 or game 6 expect them to win a game on your home court. For context, the bulls from 1990-1998 played 31 total playoff series and 3 times they failed to win a road game in those series. Bonus points for the poster who can tell me what 3 series they failed to win a road game in. So the lakers best bet is winning the next 2 games.
3. Steve Kerr and the warriors have all won series when they have been down either 2-1, 3-1, or 3-2 so it does not matter to them. They have stared elimination in the face and have pulled through each time whats different here? Down 3-1 to okc they walk em, down 3-2 to houston and down 15 in game 6 they walk em. Down 2-1 to boston in the finals they win out. They're at their best when you doubt them.
4. They're the defending champs
The Lakers have proven twice they can go into San Francisco and win (once in the regular season and once in the playoffs). But now all of a sudden they won’t win another game there? Alright then.
