The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Damn bro. That game hurt me. And I'm not blaming the refs this time. Walker cooked and the warriors made some of the dumbest decisions ive seen. I was legit yelling in my living room wtf.

That cut me bro. Cut me deep 😭. Good game though laker fans.

**** that **** hurt me. I'm drained like I played. Emotionally. I'm going to bed bro.

im ****in sick bro. curry was locked in. he was cookin out there like jacques poupon x yan can cook —was cheffin up every recipe from the cook book: no look dimes from 30+ feet, attacking from the perimeter, confusing AD on the PNR, feeding the back door cutter, behind the back pass in traffic, getting the hockey assist, settin up every basket for the dubs. nothing more you could ask that man to do. steph had a great game only for no one else on his team to pick up the slack. poole, klay, dray, wiggs all took their turns to piss the bed. this ****in stinks.

man… I can’t believe the Lakers stole that win.

The warriors were getting hella good looks in the first half. The fact that the Lakers were only down 3 at half was a blessing. the move to insert GP2 worked perfectly. He was just as good as Dray on the short roll and it worked to perfection by bringing AD away from the paint and out to the perimeter. The warriors were eating in the paint. Straight wide open layups because old man bron wasn’t rotating in time. Steph missed like 4 bunnies too. The warriors are really going to be kicking themselves for not being up by more at half. The new lineup opened up the offense but it also paid off on defense too, GP2 basically shut Dlo’s water off.

At the half, I gotta give it coach ham. Made a great adjustment and put AD on Wiggins. The warriors didn’t trust Wiggins decision making on the short roll for some reason and they basically went away from p&r in the 2nd half.



This allows AD to patrol the paint and it killed the warriors offense in the 2nd half. Steph was hella tired too from basically carrying the offense and doing his James Harden thing. Poole was supposed to be the 2ndary ball handle but he’s basically been unplayable. Klay had 9 points. Wiggins was average at best.

Steph had tired legs in the 4th. Lonnie attacked him every time. Lebron started hunting him every time. The Lakers went at him on basically every possession. He was gassed. Cold part is they still could’ve won. He went for the hero kill shot against the best defensive player in the world and didn’t hit. It could’ve easily went in… but it didn’t.. now the lakers are 1 win away from ending the dynasty.

I assume it’s the same lineups for game 5. Warriors just going to have to trust Wiggins on the short roll. The last win is always the hardest but I swear if the Lakers come out and get a double digit point lead or something this warriors team will fold. They do not have “it” and they all know it.

ITs over, RIP to the Warriors every other year dynasty. Look forward to Dray being on the Lakers next year.
 
First west playoff series L under Steve Kerr and first west playoff L since 2015 is crazy when you think about it (that play in game wasn’t a series) if it happens

Betting the future on Poole is looking like a failure for Lacob and company.

Especially after trading SHOOKman and not drafting LaMelo
