2025 NBA Season

[Hypnosis00]

What a turn around for both the Lakers and GSW in game 2. The Warriors just completely destroyed Lakers' defense. What's even interesting is that it does not involved Kevon Looney that much, GSW played small ball, quick plays, and very efficient in the 3rd.
AD also had a huge turnaround from game 1 with his poor performance today.
Overall poor performance for the Lakers in game 2, despite of the hot start from LeBron and Hachimura.
Let's see if they can bounce back from this blowout in their 2 game home stand.

I think the whole world knew that Anthony Davis could not play 2 games in a row and have the same result. He was insignificant in the game tonight. The warriors also changed the narrative from game 1 concerning free throws. Lakers only shot 17 free throws this time vs 29 in game 1.

The Lakers can’t beat the Warriors unless Anthony Davis is the most dominant player in the game. Nothing displayed this better than the first two games of the series. I’m not sure what exactly went wrong for AD tonight, but the Lakers had better make some adjustments and figure out how to get him going before it’s too late.

Definitely, because just like in the first round series, when AD is struggling, the whole team is affected negatively. The Warriors made the right adjustment, and I think they deserved the win. I believe the Lakers will also make an adjustment in game 3. This is a very interesting series, and both teams have shown that they can win. Regardless of how dominant the win is, the most important thing is that the series is tied.

Davis was really inconsistent. After scoring 30 points in game 1, he only scored 11 points in game 2 with 7 rebounds and had the most turnovers on the team. It was a bad game for Davis, and as a result, the Warriors dominated the Lakers to tie the series.

That's exactly what I was talking about after his good performance in the first game. As we can see, Davis systematically alternates between bad and good performances, and the Lakers seem like a weak team when Davis is having a bad day. By the way, the Lakers were able to avoid problems in the first round against the Grizzlies, even though Davis also had a couple of bad performances. However, the Warriors clearly have more experience than the Grizzlies, and they probably won't miss an opportunity to take advantage of the Lakers' weakness.

The Lakers are now playing against a healthy team, unlike in the first round where Memphis did not have their two big men due to injury. In that series, Memphis missed Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, who are both great big men. If they were healthy, I'm sure the Lakers would have had a problem, just like the Warriors experienced last playoffs.

We should give credit to Draymond's defense on AD without getting into foul trouble, there were one instance in the 3rd wherein Davis was doing some isolation but Draymond held his ground and even go for a steal, it's reminiscent of him doing that to Jokic as well.

And then the Warriors doing the adjustment, Vando still putting a lot of pressure on Steph and didn't want to switch and just follow Steph. So what Curry did is to pass the ball that's why he had 12 assists. And Klay finding his rhythm and then we have another role player in JaMychal Green putting in numbers with 15 points.

The Golden State Warriors (GSW) are really dangerous when Klay Thompson is hot since we know he is a streaky shooter. He was remarkable in that game, going 8-11 from the 3-point line. That's very impressive, but it's a normal day in the office for Klay. Actually, overall, the Lakers only shot 10-34 from 3PM-A compared to the Warriors' 21-42. They didn't shoot as much in this game and had a combination of outside and inside attacks, compared to Game 1 where they attempted a big 53 shots.

Also, the free throw attempts were close in this game compared to Game 1 where the Lakers dominated.

[YuginKadoya]

We'll see later if they'll have a comeback and make it a tie for the 2nd game.

And the Golden State Warriors ultimately destroys the Lakers in game 2 just like I have said new generations are defeated by those with more experience, it is new ground when it comes to the playoffs going for the finals, at first the Lakers have a great lead on the start of the game but the Warriors suddenly goes berserk with their score on the 2nd and 3rd quarter that led them leading the game, and this time Anthony Davis can not do something about it, it passed them, the score of the Warriors, and this time Klay Thompson was shaken and baken the Los Angeles Lakers it was an utter defeat,

Follow your gut, sometimes we ignore it and it tends out to be true. We're just a few hours away from the 2nd game and in stake's odds, the Lakers got some better odds and probably in other bookies too. So choose what you want to bet.

Well, if you follow your guts, you got good guts, that was a triple G for you if you follow your guts, the Warriors did splendidly and a master-class lead on the Lakers for this game, a truly remarkable play for them, I really think this will continue until the 3rd game, that is my guts were telling me right now, I haven't made a bet for today's game because I fell asleep early but next game for sure I will make my bet on it,

The adjustment that coach Kerr did well as they dominated the game after the first quarter, that shooting hands of Klay and
the aggressiveness of each player inside the court, everyone really wanted to share.

I like that kind of rotations not just for the scoring but more on doing your job stopping your opponents to gain the confidence and start rallying back.

Game 2 was fully dominated by GSW as we seen that Lakers already gave up in the early 4th quarter.

Game 2 was fully dominated by GSW as we seen that Lakers already gave up in the early 4th quarter.

They were so focused on defending Curry that's why they lost. They double team or triple team Curry so that he can't shoot but since Curry is smart, he takes it as advantage. He attracts the enemy to double team him so that his teammates can be free. That's why Thompson has so many points. I've seen them double team Curry a lot, but Curry always passes to green and then makes an easy basket. That's what I saw winning GSW earlier in Game 2.

I've also noticed that if this is still the playstyle of GSW and the Lakers in Game 3, then for sure GSW will win. Though this time I do bet now on the Lakers, as they should make adjustments on game 3 and hope that they will win, if ever they still lose on game 3, there is a huge chance that in this series GSW will win and for sure a lot of my friends will lose.

Looks like they were stunned and never got the chance to recover back the lead after they messed it up more in the 3rd quarter but that's just how it is because this is the NBA playoffs and expect to see something you don't much see in a regular season game such as this one. now the Lakers need to carefully review the games and see where they are lacking because if they can't figure it out, the same scenario will happen again this is where the GSW take advantage because they have been through lots of these kinds of games, especially last season and they somehow find the way and beat all the teams in the playoffs successfully, looks like this will be the case again if the Lakers will not bounce back.

We know and they know that Warriors is a 3rd quarter team, and we that here, they have a good run in that quarter, hitting a lot of open 3's and Curry doing the assists and everyone is contributing in the defense.

So it will shift to the Lakers homecourt so obviously they will be the favorite in game 3. They have done and accomplished their goals though, steal one game from Chase center and then go home and win and take that home court advantage from the number 6 Warriors. But it might be closed in game 3 though, I mean the feeling out session is over, it's going to be a dog fight moving forward.

Also, the free throw attempts were close in this game compared to Game 1 where the Lakers dominated.

And what's scary is that Klay is known to be a setup shooter, meaning he has to go to a lot of picks and then when he is open he will make that three. However, in the last 3 games since the Sacramento series, he is dangerous because he is creating his own shots now, fake, 2-3 dribbles to his left or right or even in the middle and then swoosh.

What's impressive as well is Curry play making, and maybe because of the defense on him, now he opted for a more conservative scoring but involving alot of his team mates that's why he had double double in this game, scoring wise and then assists.

Lakers got surprised on big adjustment made by Warriors and for sure that huge lead by Warriors in game is a big problem which need to take care by Lakers since they are totally been dominated and they need also to adjust to counter up the playing execution made by Warriors. They shouldn't make this small ball line up as easy as they think since Warrior is a complete team and all of their rooster is working very well that's why even though many claim that their dynasty end already they strongly prove that those people saying that is speculating in wrong way. Game 3 is more exciting to watch since we can see if Lakers can do a good adjustment or not.

It’s clear on what they are lacking. An answer to Warriors aggression since game 2 is more in 3 point shooting while game 1 is more on drive and jump shot because Warriors has a very bad shooting accuracy on game 1. They need AD to work like game 1 to make Warriors very cautious on entering near the paint and hope that their shooting accuracy faltered.

This is playoffs and I doubt that coach will not adjust to avoid same faith. Lakers has a very good roster capable to beat Warriors. It’s like a chess which they counter every strategy the enemy throw at them. I think this fight is worthy for a championship match.

It was Klay who started how in game 2, hitting 8 three point shots and then it seems everyone wanted to join the fun and hitting their 3's as well. It's like Klay is contagious and then Steph Curry giving us another glimpse of his game, which is the assists department and the Lakers have no response, even Davis had a bad night.

This is playoffs and I doubt that coach will not adjust to avoid same faith. Lakers has a very good roster capable to beat Warriors. It’s like a chess which they counter every strategy the enemy throw at them. I think this fight is worthy for a championship match.

Yes, you can see the experience of Steve Kerr here, putting JaMychal Green and he responded, just like last year wherein they have a lot of good role players that will fit in a game and then be the X-factor. Another adjustment is that Looney stint was short as the Warriors chooses to go small and then Draymond to guard AD.

They need to limit Warriors to shoot three so they need to be more aggressive to defend their shooters in paint so that they can force them to shoot inside and they might struggle since AD and LBJ is there can defend the rim. They just need to work what they do on game one since we see how Warriors struggle when AD is so aggressive so they need to maximize that advantage. Also they need to out rebound them so that they can get more touch on the ball and possibly get more positions than them.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Puhh, this was the reaction I wanted to see. Even without Curry scoring 30+ like he usually does they sent the lakers back home with a blowout.
Quarters 2 and 3 have been pretty much perfect from the Dubs outscoring the Lakers by almost 40.

Now the real test begin when the have to try to overcome their still terrible away record. They have to win at least 1 game away and win all their home games of course.

Davis just showed again how inconsistent he is. THE man in game 1 and in game 2 he was no option offensively, that’s crazy.
I hope they can manage him well in games 3&4 , that would definitely get their chances up to advance!!

As far as these 2 games until now showed us, the Lakers rise and fall with AD.

[Yamifoud]

Now the real test begin when the have to try to overcome their still terrible away record. They have to win at least 1 game away and win all their home games of course.

I'm not worried about that angle anymore because the Warriors have proven they can win on the road, as they did in the first round of the series. If you still remember, the Warriors won Games 5 and 7 on the road, and the Game 7 win was a full domination. So it's not a factor anymore. The most important factor now is whether the Lakers can make the right adjustments in Game 3.

Yes mate and that's right if Lakers can manage the outside shot by the Golden State Warriors then they will be the winner of this matchup because we are all know that Warriors are better on outside shot and once Lakers can control that situation then the win are them. Honestly about Lakers they have a good defender and pointer which Lebron James and Davis will do that thing and I know they can control the game.

Now the real test begin when the have to try to overcome their still terrible away record. They have to win at least 1 game away and win all their home games of course.

I'm not worried about that angle anymore because the Warriors have proven they can win on the road, as they did in the first round of the series. If you still remember, the Warriors won Games 5 and 7 on the road, and the Game 7 win was a full domination. So it's not a factor anymore. The most important factor now is whether the Lakers can make the right adjustments in Game 3.

It is always a factor.
Sacramento played bad in both games, it's not that GSW played perfect basketball. Don't forget they got pounded after having the chance to close it out at home.
The, Fox also was hurt and questionable for game 7, and just saw he wasn't really ready.

Lakers on the other hand won both home games in the regular season vs GSW, and 9 of their last 10 games at home as well.

Not a walk in the park these days to win in LA.
