Honestly think homecourt is the only reason they beat LA next round. Could see them blow the series if they have a cold shooting game at home though.
Thats it. Grizzlies are done.
That series is not going to be compe ive. Davis will melt against Draymond's physical play. Reeves will be completely shut down against the Warriors. Hachimura will come down to earth. Warriors perimeter players match up really well with the Lakers perimeter players. It's going to be a ty series. Warriors if their play their cards right they could sweep this team.
Grizz will never be a legitimate contender tbh. Flawed low-IQ team with a flawed low-IQ leader.
Dubs will beat this Laker team in 5 imo.
Grizzlies were always pretenders in my books. Don't think they could offer much resistance to gsw. Denver still remains my favorite in the west.
I hope you are right.
Lakers losing game 5 no way Bron should’ve had to expend that much energy to win dat
The Warriors are so bad on the road they blew a game to the Lakers when LeBron was out. I'd still take the Warriors in that series but only as slight favorites.
What's so strange about the franchise playing 45 minutes in a playoff game that went to OT?
He is 38 years old with a lot of miles … is the problem.
It’s the playoffs tho
So what? It's the playoffs and one of his last chances to do anything.
Not saying we should feel for him but name the last 38 year old playing 45 mins in a playoff game?!
I’ll wait …
I thought he played mediocre most of the game with one of the worst turnovers I ever seen him make …
Throwing a lob pass to Schroeder flashing in the key with Jaren Jackson looming?! Who does that?!
That being said he gave the lakers 20 20 and 7 with blocks and took two huge charges vs Ja (who is lucky to be ok after that last one). It’s the greatest old man playoff performance since kareem in the finals vs Boston?
It’s actually amazing that you guys think him playing 45 is no big deal
Bron ain't Nephew, he can handle it. Yes, even at his advanced age.
Who is "playoff s bag"? Kawhi, or are you referring to someone else?At the national media constantly fawning over playoff S bag, who only plays under pristine cir stances, while largely ignoring playoff Butler (can't remember a player of his caliber constantly raising his game to elite of the elite in the playoffs) and continuing to reward clowns like DeRozan with All-Star/All-NBA berths over him.
I don't give Jimmy Butler enough props. I always wanted him on the Spurs, but because we didn't draft him or end up trading for him, I kind of don't watch him closely enough. He almost took the Heat to the finals last season. He's also not afraid to take big shots in big moments (even if they aren't the best shot available). He's got the guts to take them when a lot of other so called superstars over the years have shied away from them in pressure situations. Absolutely amazing performance by Jimmy Butler and absolutely terrible decision by the Bucks to sit Giannis out if he could have played earlier in the series.
I felt this game was for the series that if Lebron didn't play that many minutes they lose and lose the series. Most likely Lakers lose game 5 because there is a quick turnaround time and Lebron will be wasted. Lakers should win game 6.
Denver over GSW or LAL for sure. Please God not another GSW or LA ring.
That was quite a Jordanesque performance by Butler.
Denver or Phoenix are coming out of the west.
as long as it is not gs
It will be because they're both so mediocre. Unfortunately, neither James nor Davis are close to 100% and the Warriors will have home court and probably catch an injury break if need be, so they're slight favorites.
The West is so bad that either the Nuggets, with no second star, a mediocre defense and 6.5 reliable players or the overly mid range reliant Suns with 4.5 reliable players, are going to the Finals.
Ngl dem Lakers look dangerous as
East ain't looking too good either with Milwaukee on the ropes. God damn why couldn't the rest of the league be this weak when the Spurs were good?
Im pretty sure Kawhi will suck it up and play thru pain and lead his team to victory tonite!
uh..... NO!
