I see the Warriors winning this series, but winning the whole thing? I don't think it's as penciled in as you believe. Then again, none of these remaining teams impress me much.
The lack of rest will be the undoing for this Laker team tbh. Lebron already looks gassed.

Embiid is a ball stopper tbh
I wonder if Sixers are better without him
Combination of experience/ref help/3 point chucking will see them through. Hope I'm wrong but I thought they were cooked last season and they proved me wrong.
It’s difficult enough in this era to play with a big who probably is most effective in the halfcourt and likely regresses in a high speed game. But if a team is going to play like that, it needs the right supporting cast, and a specific one at that. James Harden is a decent fit with him because he can play in the halfcourt, but he’s not a great fit since he can be a pound the ball into the ground iso player. And Harris isn’t really the right fit either necessarily, who has had to sacrifice his game playing next to Embiid and Harden, often relegated to being a kickout, spot up shooter. Tobias is actually a terrific one-on-one player and a guy who could score a lot more in transition if Philly played faster. And even though he’s been a 20 point scorer this season, Maxey often feels wasted being an afterthought on offense when Embiid and Harden dominate the ball so much. Give him credit though, Maxey makes the most of his opportunities and touches. Kid is pretty special imo.
But it’s hard to ask Embiid to change the way he plays because he is so dominant, at least as far as individual production goes. But his style of play and the fact that the offense is built around him feels like it can often negatively affect the play and potential of several of his teammates.
no person with brain cells actually thinks the big flop is an MVP.
So many Warrior fans in the Lakers building
They just bought Lakers jerseys
Very interesting. No one fouls. Defenders prefer to fast break off made baskets or bricks.
Lebron having his way
Duncan, Leonard or Manu would foul him
Holy BLOWOUT
Green + Poole

Steph missing a FT
Told you that you're enormously overrating this Warriors team. They got really lucky Phoenix the bed in Game 7 last year but that team was still worlds better than this year's Warriors.
Would love to be proven wrong tbh. Especially since I think Denver steamrolls the Lakers.
I think that would be a pretty fun series, think I'd take Denver 4-2 in it.
That was great. Huge, steaming dump taken on the TV and Entertainment fabricated champions.
When China Doll cranks it up he is an excellent player.
Reeves should not be on the court.
Toss up for he and Dougie McDermott for worst defensive player of the year.
Lakers better put the pedal down and go up 3-1. Warriors with WarrriorRef are fiercth back in the Gay Area.
I except a nip and tuck game 4 with the Warriors getting a favorable whistle and gaining separation down the stretch.
The ulative toll on James' foot and the math battle will likely catch up to the Lakers.
Fortunately, if the Nuggets stay healthy, I'm confident they'll finish the job.
It would be amazing if the Heat and Lakers made it back to face each other in the Finals. A bubble replay.
Not surprising. Warriors are a make or miss team. If neither of the splash bros goes off, the Warriors will struggle. They depend heavily on offense to win, and that's usually all they need because theirs is so good. Neither team killed it in the RS.
I choose Warriors. Kerr. Team. Heart of a Champion.
Lonnie Walker was out of the rotation for months, but stayed ready and earned more minutes these past 2 games with his scoring.
Thanks Poop and Spurs
Not sure what the happened to Malik Beasley but that guy used to be an elite shooter. Probably another case of that purple and gold jersey being heavy tbh.

The Celtics are winning the le this year.
Denver will blow that two game lead with Phoenix and lose that series.
Seems like everyone is split. Makes for a great SemiFinals & beyond
