Picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue and playing defense.
It didn’t matter, Steph was not going to lose this game. As much love as He gets. He’s way underrated in the grit, moxie and toughness categories. He couldn’t hardly find the ocean with his 3 ball in most of those games 1st rd. And scored most of his points in and near the paint.
This has been the best NBA playoffs ever so far imo. So many Yuuge efforts by the Stars and a couple others. Close, tight, hard fought games every night.
And when you want to hate the NBA for the drive hard and kick out for the 3 style of play. Along come the Suns and Nuggies with tonight’s game. Reminded me of the best era of the league.
Lots of holes being showed in the Dubs this first half. Lakers have made 1 three pointer and are playing even. They don’t have anyone who can body AD and make him quit like Memphis did. He should have a huge series.
Lakers are bigger and stronger at almost every position and Dubs are relying on 3 balls and fade aways.
Buckets like Embiid always seems to pull up lame in the playoffs when it counts. Miami won’t win another game without him.
And the Lakers withstand the late Curry storm to get the win. Until it was 112-112, it never felt like the Dubs were gonna win this game. The Dubs made 22 three pointers. The Lakers made 6. And rebounding was near even. But the Lakers defense was tough. And AD can have 30 and 15 every game if He can get past his own head.
But usually He can’t. And so this will be a series.

Don't think Kerr can small ball his way to a series win. Six free throws at home is soft. GS has to get to the rim on occasion. 22 threes is not sustainable.
I am calling their death. They’re soft af. Would be cool to see steph prove me wrong in his greatness, but I think that’s what last year was. This year is the end.
Why do I have a feeling it ends up Nuggets / Lakers and the NBA finds a way to push LA into the Finals (similar to Phoenix and Barkley getting 847 free throws in Game 7 against the Sonics)?

Fuck Boston

They aren't dead until they are
AD needs to stay healthy and active

This is a beatdown.
Game 3 is critical as always
Game 1 the Lakers were rested and GS had just beat the Kings in 7. LIPO but don't count out GS like I said
Great adjustments. Klay and Steph made shots. AD mailed it in
Awesome coaching
AD disappears and GS bench produces, GS blowout.
