I never thought I'd say this about Kobe and the Lakers but...

Man, all those close games they pulled by a miracle. Because they weren't just close games. They were miracles.

Yep, the Warriors have had so many games going into the 4th down double digits. Then Curry starts taking and making shots that would be awful for any player in the history of the NBA other than him. A win is a win though.

You guys think Pop learned anything from the Lakers today??

Maybe the Spurs can keep it within 30 next time LMAO

Maybe GSW can find a way to win in SA. The last time they won in SA you weren't aware there was a team in the Bay Area.

More importantly I think that the Lakers way of going for the ball at each and every opportunity, to create steals and turnovers, was really smart.

Indeed as we've seen in the past, there's not much that can be done to lower the Warriors shooting %: they basically have a 50% chance to make just about any shot, regardless of range or whether it's contested, etc. So the deal is, forget about the man, go for the ball. If you miss and the Warriors player blows past you, it doesn't really increase his chance of scoring, which was already very high anyway.

Facing a guy like Curry who shoots the same from 28+ feet as a center below the basket, traditional D is pointless. Rattle him, foul him, put the hand on the ball.

As good a strategy as any I guess. Still, warriors shot like 10% from 3 point land today, so they were way below the 50% mark from anywhere.

We now control our own destiny for the #1 seed. It'll be damn hard but if we keep pace and win out verses Dubs were the top seed.

I'm in Indianapolis right now for the Spurs game tomorow. Hopefully we can take advantage of this GS loss and gain some ground on them in the standings!!

Unless LMA has another "migraine"

Warriors coasting, trying to get to 4th to face the Grizz.

The Warriors seem to have a lot of trouble with loaded backcourt players this year and it might be the key to beating them. From losing to the Blazers, close calls with the Mavs, and now the Lakers, it seems like the teams that tend to play two PGs in the lineup give them a lot of trouble.

[Horry Hipcheck]

I wonder if anyone outside this board has any clue about this . . .

2.5 games.

GSW has a game in hand, though. That 2.5 game lead might as well be 3 tbh

Enjoy the game!

[Buddy Mignon]

Its not like you s know how to hold home court anyways.

[bigfan]

I will never thank the Lakers for a thing, piss on em and I hope they suck for the next 20 years. Sincerely; old fan who remembers the 80's.

[TXstbobcat]

Enjoy the game!

thanks!! Got to get up early tomorow to make it back to the target center to go to the Spurs game against the wolves.

[hater]

Curry pulled a Kobe and the rest is history

Sweeet. I'll be there as well, my one trip to a Spurs game for the year.

That's cool!!! Have fun at the game.

I really like Jordan Clarkson's game. Nice to see a San Antonio kid do well. Amazing that him and Andre Roberson (OkC) played together at Wagner High School (San Antonio) and they both made it to the NBA.

I'd love to see him in a Spurs uniform but it's likely the Lakers will match any offer for him next summer
