[NBA] West Playoffs, Round Two

[iowamcnabb]

Lakers are good no denying it.

What was that Urkel hands on hips protest Poole was doing there?

 

[Tetsujin]

Warriors pulling a Mike Brown and destroying the Lakers by going small and negating their big defenders.

 

[Tetsujin]

Lol Jordan Poole

 

[captain bill]

Jordan Poole is such trash

Poole

Lmao

 

[fansinceday1]

I’m tired……whew.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jordan Poole watching Steph pretty much single handedly erasing a 14 point deficit only to decide to take the potential tying shot himself is absolutely sucker punch worthy. My guy just incapable of reading the damn room.

Lakers owe us Vandy for tiring out the Warriors.

Eh, they are super lucky the KINGS didn’t make round 2. We’d run them outta the gym. We’re a terrible matchup for them.

The LAL offense ain’t nowhere near as explosive and dangerous as GSW and the LAL are a terrible transition defensive team. Fox, MM and Co. would own them.

Tonight you could see the effects of SAC running GSW ragged for 7 games. They looked tired.

Big concern is, this series is being played every other day so no extra time to rest up.

I’ve been saying it for a while now.

Poole

Poole - the gift that keeps on giving.

Not sure if I am stealing part one of this idea from here or from twitter but the ideal outcome for this series for me is the home team losing every game and it getting horrible tv.

Depends on how you look at it. Vecenie thinks they are a bad match up for us due to size

Vecenie (whomever that is) has no clue.

Whatever “size” they have wouldn’t keep up with our breakneck pace. Nor would they be able to defend us in the half court on the perimeter. Also, I highly doubt the KINGS continued to shoot so poorly as the postseason wore on.

The only thing I can see to their advantage is Domas still being heavily dinged up and bothered by injuries. But I still believe Domas plays better against that team than he did against Draymond and Looney.

Still, I circle back to the fact that LAL are a really, really poor transition defensive team. They weren’t going to slow up Swipa and MM. Not even remotely.

Defensively, nothing LAL brings to the table compares to Steph and Klay’s shot making.

Aside from the obvious “ref bias” I so much wanted the KINGS to play that heavily overrated, aging and brittle team.

Apparently Dubs fans very upset about the reffing. Wish I could say I felt sorry for them.

 

[mrlaze]

The NBA did a poor job prepping them in the 1st round.

He surely wouldn't be thinking or saying that had they played in SAC instead.

Do not, and 1 more step, go Lakers in this affair until they play the Nuggets......

Rooting for home fans to go home unhappy every night until the winner plays the Nugs.

Of course he was perfectly healthy against us lol

Mark Jackson on former teammate Darvin Ham

“great guy who once broke a backboard”

“With his dunking or his shooting?”

I actually love this. I was pulling for the Lakers just because my hatred of the Warriors is at an all time high, but now I'm gonna switch sides and root for sad bandwagoners leaving the arena disappointed every game.

Lakers in 7, Nugs in ..... 5 or 6 probably haha

The Lakers trade deadline was like if the Kings were able to get Vanderbilt, Hachimura, D Russell, Beasley and Bamba for Harrison Barnes’ expiring, Richaun Holmes, Matthew Dellavedova, KZ Okpala,, PJ Dozier and a 2030 first rounder

 

[gunks]

HOLY **** THEY CALLED A MOVING SCREEN ON DRAYMOND!!! WHAT IS THIS, BIZARRO WORLD?!!?!

Well, to be fair, the league colludes together in order to make that happen.

You gotta know something's up when Danny Ainge of all people turns out to be a fraud.
