2025 NBA Season

On the other hand, Steph Curry is so phenomenal this season and his the best 3 point shooter of all time IMO.

Warriors reach this level because of Curry's good season, but as a team, they are not as good as the others who have good reserves. Curry was not scoring well at the start but he was able to adjust, unfortunately, he cannot just win by carrying his team, some of his teammates lack contribution in this game.

I guess they will still lose against the Grizzlies.

What are your thoughts on this game guys?

Brooks of the Grizzlies is something, he dominated the game against the Spurs but I doubt the GSW will let him slide like that.
Two things that needs to be done by the Warriors team.
Watch the replay of the Spurs vs Grizzlies game and identify who needs to be defended well. Then their own against the Lakers and see what they are missing on why and how a big deficit was taken back just like that.

I bet the Grizzlies will be the underdogs here.

This season is his best season based on his stats https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/brookdi01.html

I already know him since he was playing with the same team and he was really good and good thing they have Morant now their superstar that help the team to win more games and has a chance to compete in the playoffs.

Last season they fall short, can they finally make it this time or the Warriors' pride will hammer them?

They allow the Spurs to make a comeback in the 2nd quarter after leading as much as 20 if I'm not mistaken.

Even match here, Brooks played very well and he is also one good defender, but maybe Poole and Toscano-Anderson can match him. The key difference here is Jonas Valančiūnas, we have seen the Warriors having a hard time against big guys in their last game, AD and Drummond.

We cannot say that Grizzlies will be the underdog here since they are also strong contender, maybe I can call this as equal match up since they came from huge upset. But I wonder what adjustment does GSW do sincee I believe they learn a huge lesson for their earlier defeat from lakers.

I don't follow much the Grizzlies but let see which of them will take charge of their upcoming match up.

Lakers - Warriors game last night was really great. It was a so close and competitive game that Lakers managed to be the winners 103-100. A. Davis-Lebron duo did a really great job. Curry tried his best but his performance was not enough to win the game (37 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast).

He tried his best but it's not enough to help his team or carry the team to win.
It ended up a low-scoring game, so we can tell that defense was really emphasized here.

Curry had    37 points but that was not enough, he just missed his splash brother and we can tell that.

Davis got double-double while Lebron got Triple double, I didn't even notice that as he was not explosive in this game.

By watching the game earlier, you can say that Lebron has put everything on that game to win that crucial one-game chance to get to the NBA playoff. they will face the Phoenix Suns with a Chris Paul in it. I wonder if the Davis-Lebron duo will prevail and somehow managed to get past through them. we already know why they are on that spot because the best players among the lakers were injured and now that they are back again, the game against the Phoenix Suns will be one of the best games in the NBA playoffs this year.

[Kasabus]

the game against the Phoenix Suns will be one of the best games in the NBA playoffs this year.

I hope so, hopefully, this will end in 7 games,  it will be pretty much exciting to witness a game 7 in the first round. This is the Lakers, the defending champion, so betting them is like having a very big chance to win in the NBA Finals. I can still see that Lebron is not yet 100%, so I can't tell they'll dominate the Suns here, maybe the opposite will happen.

[wheelz1200]

That was a good ending for the Lakers. But still kudos to Steph for having that 37 points on their match.

I hope that they'll win against the Grizzlies.

They fought a good fight and till the end Steph shos his awesomeness,

37 points agianst the Lakers and he really tried to win this game, every shot he made is really tough well contested.  But since it's
Chef Curry there's always high chance of possibilities to bank the shot,

Lakers win out of luck   LebRon and Davis lifts the lakers in the final quarter, that's how stars should react when the opposing team is playing big.

The Lakers were playing terrible in this game. They have shot 24% late in the 3rd quarter. While the Warriors were doing a good job attacking them from both the paint area and beyond the arc.
IMHO, there's no such thing as luck in a professional sports. They have been practicing their whole life in any kinds of toughest situations and they're playing a 4 quarter period.
Though LeBron and Davis lift the team down the stretch but the Lakers win as a team, they have 30 bench points to secure the W.
On the other hand, Steph Curry is so phenomenal this season and his the best 3 point shooter of all time IMO.

100% agree at one point lebron and AD were 3-19 from the field Caruso kept them in the game.  But in the end they took over.  If the Lakers played slightly better in the first half it would have been a much different game.  Golden state threw the kitchen sink at them but in the end Bron with a 30 footer looking at 3 different rims to win the game.  Playoff Bron in the house lookout suns

I am not keeping up that much with NBA but I never thought that Warriors was going to be still this strong after all this year, I thought Steph Curry being in the team will have his fire die out in some years kind of like a fad but he and the team are still going strong.

Davis got double-double while Lebron got Triple double, I didn't even notice that as he was not explosive in this game.

Probably James was still not 100% that's why he started slow and they have a horrendous shooting in the first half. But at least they keep the game closing and not allowing Curry to blow it out. And as a sign of a good team, they eventually take the lead and it was really close and intense until that dagger three of Bron giving them the lead.

And we get our money's worth during their game.

So it was a quiet triple double for him, next is Suns. It will be interesting how the Suns are going to defend AD and Lebron. Expect that Chris Paul are going to be hounded by Alex Caruso, similar to what he did against Steph Curry here.

That's for sure, but the Suns have a lot of scorers unlike the Warriors, CP3 is now alone, he has a booker and some supporting cast that makes them hard to beat. It's surely one of the most interesting playoff series, and I hope the series odds are close so bettors would be more attractive in betting.

Even without his partner, Curry give Lakers one hell of a game. I thought before the game that the Lakers would demolish the Warriors easily but i was wrong. If only Klay have played, Warriors could have been in the top of the standings because even without him they managed to land on a spot they didn't expect.

Watching today's game, it seems that the Lakers will be having a hard defending their crown even with AD and LBJ were back.

[btc_angela]

^^ It will be very different if Klay is playing, Warriors might not be in this position.

But Curry really put this team on his shoulders, winning scoring title, this is the best season he had shooting wise. But it is not enough to beat the Lakers tonight. And I agree that Lebron is still not 100% in this game, but as Curry said post interview, "all time great players make great shots". They will have to go through Phoenix first and see how it goes for them defending their crown.

Yeah, Caruso and other teammates were helpful in this match because they didn't let the Warriors have a huge advantage after the first half while Lebron and AD couldn't get the ball into the basket. Anyway, it was a great match, and I applaud Curry for his incredible 3pt shots.

The lakers team really step on the gas in the third quarter, their defense is all over the place, everyone did their share, Davis and James are unstoppable,
I think the suns are in big trouble, I thought they would survive in the first round too bad it's the lakers they are going the face, that's an early exit for the suns for sure.

Draymond will somehow work it out. He stopped AD on the first half but the 2nd was the bad time of their life.
I guess fatigue also hit him and he got so worked out with the ref calls against him. He needs some rest and who will be there to fill his position? None.
That is the Warriors weakness against any team in the NBA. They lack reserves to fill the holes if needed.
I may still bet for the Warriors here with a handicap.
I won betting for them with +3.5 today but came short for over 218.5. The game was too tight for an offensive run.

[dwminer1]

A very interesting and fierce meeting in Los Angeles. You could feel the play-off atmosphere. Steph Curry has confirmed once again this season that he is one of the greatest shooter in the basketball history. The Lakers are still far from optimal form. The first half was very poor in their performance. In the second half, the LAL stars played better and ultimately determined the victory. I keep my fingers crossed for Warriors' victory in the game against Grizzlies, I would like to see them in the playoffs.

Draymond is their defensive minister, it's really tough for the warriors to defend the interior he needed to play lots of minutes and
rest just a little plus he also involve with their offensive set up.

I see your point, there are lots of new comers that this team needs to work on. The league already upgrades without the adjustments
it will be tough for them to continue.

The outcome for sure is more different if Klay is there to help. Just saying
