I been telling dudes since the last week of the fukking season that this Lakers defense will keep them in any series, vs any opponent. And all this defense has done is get stronger every week since...
The Lakers went into the 4thQ down 7 and allowed the Warriors just 17 points, and just 2 in the final 3:01, and just 6-17 Warriors shooting...
The Warriors pulling AD out the paint worked, so the Lakers countered masterfully by switching/rotating everything and attacking Steph and Klay relentlessly on the other end...
The Warriors are getting some great shots, which is a great sign if you're a Dubs fan. The other part of it is they are also being forced into tough contested shots the other half of the time, and it's stressing their offense out. You can see this visually, they are making LA work defensively with some positive results but are also being worked offensively and that's showing too...
I maintain that the winner of this series will be the team that imposes their will most. Right now its Los Angeles thru 4 games...
This Lakers defense has a versatility, a fluidity, a creativity to defend any team because the personnel is deep. They have a shot. I've been saying it for over a month now and they keep getting better. This gotdamn defense can snap into elite, lock down mode even when they've been getting worked, and being able to pull this card in any circumstance presented to them bode well...
This is a special team, a special story being written, and a dangerous team vs any opponent because when you can play defense at this level you can beat anyone...
Lakers need to finish em Wednesday, fukk the bullshyt. Series not over by a long shyt, end these wack ass nikkas on Wednesday!
