Personally I do hope the series between GSW and Lakers will go in 7 games because so far both teams are playing amazing basketball with a slight advantage for Lakers in my opinion.
Tonight , 76ers vs Celtics should be one hell of a game with Embiid probably being able to play and he is coming after MVP trophy and I'm expecting 76ers to win. If Embiid won't play...then Celtics will finish this series pretty early.

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. They expected that Looney will still guard AD which is, so I guess Looney being out because of some illness is a blessing in disguise for the whole team. I just like the adjustment of the Warriors in this game. High Pick and Roll between Curry, and Green, and since the Warriors have a small team on most of this game, Davis is guarding Green, Davis is having a hard time because of the high pick and roll. Curry can either shoot the ball or just pass the ball, and in this game, he got 12 assists (I think it's his most in a singe playoff game). It's good that Thompson stepped scoring 30 points on 8/11 shooting. Speaking of Thompson, I saw this post from Bleacher Report from Facebook on how Coach Ham is coaching his players during a timeout: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent.fmnl33-2.fna.fbcdn.net%2Fv%2Ft39.30808-6%2F344727628_1266190077328085_1292974939528267200_n.jpg%3F_nc_cat%3D1%26ccb%3D1-7%26_nc_sid%3Da26aad%26_nc_eui2%3DAeFVfMn6f5n5O5fDSSlAtnwIhvMIfK8Id4WG8wh8rwh3hfy9Wh4plOENTaREvPQ_a6m5VAinzZ60Y3sEdaPSGPfK%26_nc_ohc%3D8CIJxsFSTRYAX9p-jSJ%26_nc_ht%3Dscontent.fmnl33-2.fna%26oh%3D00_AfBsPpG-1Khps7gNG4wEkcGQZoi2FEzueE8h0t5k_Z7BcQ%26oe%3D645A5032&t=665&c=4aofdm6GxrUfnA) I mean his been famous for coaching his team like that, and he's been doing it ever since he coached the Lakers. I don't know if this kind of coaching works within the team or not, but I guess the Lakers didn't stop Klay from shooting threes. Now it's 1-1, and the Lakers need to defend their home court. I wonder how the Lakers will adjust on the small ball lineup of the Warriors coming into Games 3 & 4.

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. I thought we were talking about their terrible road record, and my response was simply that they beat the Kings on the road twice, so I believe that's enough to consider that they have overcome that problem in the playoffs. The Warriors can now win on the road, and they can also lose at home, so it's even. 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.
The Warriors were not at full strength during those games. Last February 23, 2023, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 124-111, but Curry was out and there was no Wiggins or GPII. Last March 5, 2023, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 105-113, but there was no Wiggins or GPII (you know how important they are on the defensive side)

I think the problem is they are too focused on Curry and there were times they triple-team him which is not wise in my opinion. Vanderbilt can defend him and if ever he gets away from him then they just need to live with it. That is the best choice rather than leaving another shooter free which is what happened yesterday. Trust your teammates. Kerr found the holes of the Lakers today but adjustments will surely happen. Now it's 1-1, and the Lakers need to defend their home court. I wonder how the Lakers will adjust on the small ball lineup of the Warriors coming into Games 3 & 4.
The scary part about the Warriors team is when they gain momentum, they don't care where they are and we should also forget about their road record in the season. The series against the Sacramento Kings was proof of it. Fans cheering against them doesn't work, even referees that are making bad calls against them don't work too. If the Lakers badly need a win, give AD more space to work out his post-up game. He is their key to winning this series because no one in the Warriors can really match him. He just had an off night yesterday.

Yes you are right that mate they focusing in one layer which is too bad for this decision as we all know that it is a 5vs5 game and if they double team or triple team against Curry they can not make that ad we will know that curry is good in handling the ball and there's a 2 open teammates once he got triple so its easy to move the ball and find other open shot. Now it's 1-1, and the Lakers need to defend their home court. I wonder how the Lakers will adjust on the small ball lineup of the Warriors coming into Games 3 & 4.

Exactly once they got the momentum then they will go in flow and a few team have their luck can stop them curry, klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and the rest of the team see very sharp in defense and offence so warriors will strong enough.

It was more or less clear that we would see a more resilient Warriors in game two as the Lakers took the home advantage after the first game they played very well. It was important for the Lakers to get a game, they did it. The second match could have been sacrificed. Now winning their home matches will be enough for them to pass the round. Anthony Davis was great in the first game, but he was like a ghost in the second game. LeBron also played very little in the second half when the gap widened. The bench contribution of players such as Hachimura and Walker is important. The Lakers should score more from the bench. If it's all up to the Davis, LeBron, Russell trio, it's tough. Every player has to contribute to the team. I would love to see the Lakers against the Nuggets in the Conference Finals. They have to win 3 more games and it will not be easy. They must defend in a way that breaks the Warriors' 3-point game plan.

Actually, there was a very exciting game in the first half of the match. LeBron really wanted to win the game, and he gave a great performance despite his age. Anthony Davis was not in his day today so it had a huge impact on them losing the game. He missed shots quite easily and caused turnovers. In the second half, the Golden State Warriors had a very good three-pointer. They managed to make very difficult shots and the match was broken. Playoffs are like that, sometimes you're not on your day and you realize you've lost the game. The important thing is to stay with the team and find out what it takes to win the next match. If the Lakers don't manage to defend harder, they will have a hard time in this series. The Golden State Warriors shoot really good three-pointers ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

That's what they needed, the right adjustments to protect the home court advantage, They need to counter whatever the adjustments the warriors did in game 2, The production of Davis and the rest of the team needs to work well again, with the good defense that they've shown last game 1, they need to re-assemble and try to duplicate the game play to force both the splash bro to make a forced shot, Lakers also consist of good role players who can compete. They just need to find the right rhythm and chemistry to win the game.

It was a good Game 2, Lakers started strong but when the 2nd quarter came, the Warriors didn't gave them a chance to recover again. Surely the Warriors are not letting the situation embarrass them again where they will be defeated in a court where they are the strongest. Also, I've seen some stats of Anthony Davis wherein he was dominating every 1st game in any homecourt particularly what happen in the first round versus the Grizzlies, but in the 2nd day, his stats drastically fell down. So, if that stats will indeed come true again, it means that AD is set to be explosive again in Game 3 in their own homecourt. In odd numbered games, Davis is otherworldly, averaging 28.5 points, 17.8 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while shooting 55.5 percent from the floor. Conversely, in even number games, he’s pedestrian, putting up 13.0 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game while shooting a grisly 40.4 percent from the floor. Unsurprisingly, the Lakers are 3-1 when Davis plays well, but 2-2 when he struggles. https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-crazy-anthony-davis-playoff-trend-bodes-well-for-la-in-game-3-vs-warriors

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. 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. 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. 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. Yes, that's one of the few reasons why the Warriors succeeded in Game 2. The Lakers are too busy guarding Steph Curry because they know that the Chef will be cooking hefty points again after the loss they had experienced recently in their own homecourt but they forgot the fact that the Warriors have two power shooter on the floor, and that's Klay Thompson, the other half of Steph, which is why they are called Splash Brothers. Apart from that, Steve Kerr made sure that they will rectify their mistakes in Game 1 and will be a lot smarter this time to adjust in every gameplay that the Lakers are trying to do.

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, Yeah, they just did. Sometimes we see those great moments for AD but not just this time. Well, good for the Warriors for tying the series into 1-1, maybe this will take up to game 7 just as what everybody wants to see. 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, Nice, if that's what your gut is telling you then it could be true. No one can say it better but only you. So if you think that this win will be extended by the Warriors up to game 3, do it mate.

I laid down a bet on the Golden State Warriors last night, and I figured they’d win, but I was not expecting as 20 point blow out. I just don’t understand why Anthony Davis wasn’t more involved on the offense end of the court. He was shooting at a 50% clip, so it’s not like he was having a super off night..but 11 points is just extremely inexcusable.
Lakers favored for Saturdays game..not sure which way to lean.

I won't argue with you about that and I know it's odd but I think I know what's the reason behind why he is having some troubles after having an explosive night. If guys remember, the team's doctor did already prohibiting Anthony Davis from playing back to back games or successive games with minimal rest since regular games but that didn't happen, right? I think this is Davis's way to be in the team to at least help them from the defensive end instead of resting in-between games and leaving them with less chances to win. Here's his stats for the past 10 games: https://www.espn.ph/nba/player/_/id/6583/anthony-davisAs you can see, ever since the playoff started, Anthony Davis didn't rest and was always available for the team but there's a catch, he won't be that much effective in even games compared to the odd games.

Just off night I guess and the defense put up on him. He had this kind of so-so performance against the Memphis as well, but he was able to bounce back in the next game and have a great game. So I expect him to make a come back game in their home court in game 3. Lakers favored for Saturdays game..not sure which way to lean.
If they are favored then it's better to lean on them, again the advantage is that they are in their comfort zone at Crypto.com. And just like in Memphis series, the crowd game them energy to finished off the young Grizzlies team and AD had a great series with MVP caliber performance.

I'm with you. Had to go in on golden state last night and now have no clue what to think. I think I'm actually going to throw a bet in on the under. I don't think the Lakers are gonna want to run and gun with golden state they see what happened. They will want to control pace and bang the paint inside. Expecting a low scoring tight game in LA. Hope either way it's another split I want to see these dudes get at it in a game 6 or 7.

It was more or less clear that we would see a more resilient Warriors in game two as the Lakers took the home advantage after the first game they played very well. It was important for the Lakers to get a game, they did it. The second match could have been sacrificed.
It could work but now they have to win their Game 3 at their home court to still have that advantage, otherwise that sacrificed is nullified by the Warriors. Now winning their home matches will be enough for them to pass the round. Anthony Davis was great in the first game, but he was like a ghost in the second game. LeBron also played very little in the second half when the gap widened. The bench contribution of players such as Hachimura and Walker is important. The Lakers should score more from the bench. If it's all up to the Davis, LeBron, Russell trio, it's tough. Every player has to contribute to the team. I would love to see the Lakers against the Nuggets in the Conference Finals. They have to win 3 more games and it will not be easy. They must defend in a way that breaks the Warriors' 3-point game plan.
Warriors is not known to be a road them, but in their series against the Kings, they proved otherwise as they closed the show in Sacramento in Game 7. So Game 3 might be close, Lakers wanted to protect their home court while as bad as the Warriors is on the road, they have proven already that they can go and steal one as well. Still up to how Davis and LeBron will start to play at their home court. They have to lead their team if they wanted to win not just Game 3 but the series to advance against the Nuggets.

We'll see if GSW can steal at least 1 in the next 2 games in LA. GSW had a bad winning record outside of their home but they must do it, it is the playoffs anyways and the team has too much experience in situations like this. The Lakers however are capable of winning this series after bringing some players just before the trade deadline. The odds of this series remain in favor of GSW although it is close. AD needs to become consistent like Bron if it wants to win games. I am not really sold on to D'Lo, the guy is inconsistent as always over the years. The Lakers though have the depth now but they need to perform.

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.
It would definitely be something only he could do because he knows the team so much. Obviously that doesn't mean he is good or bad that's not the point, the point is that he has been their coach for a long time and he knows the team so well and that is how he can adjust the team and what they need accordingly. Team knows themselves very well and that is what happened and they saw Klay Thompson was hot and they all saw that and started to feed him very well, so that is why I think it would be great for them to keep that up. Just feed the hot hands and defend all around as a team, if they can keep doing that then it would work very well. I just hope that it would do well for the series, it is in our best interest to see them play as close and as fun as it gets.

The Lakers though have the depth now but they need to perform. That will be a tough challenge for the Warriors and even them surely know that it will not be an easy task to do because the Lakers are more harder to penetrate when they are playing at home, just like the Warriors have the advantage whenever they are playing on their own home court in Chase Center. But the Warriors should try their best to even their standing because the Lakers managed to snatch one win on their home. And for the Lakers, everybody around LeBron needed to step up their game if they wanted to defeat the roster of the Warriors namely Schroder, D'Lo, Reaves and AD. Thus, LeBron surely have something to share with the team because he already faced the Warriors many times during the playoffs and maybe their roster can pick up some lessons from LeBron to increase their chances.

GSW had a bad winning record outside of their home but they must do it, it is the playoffs anyways and the team has too much experience in situations like this. Yeah, that could be the argument against the Warriors in game 3, the Lakers steal one game home for them, they should return the favor, but can they do it? But if we look at their series against the Kings, yeah, possible for the Warriors specially with their experience to steal one game and get back that one game they lost. The Lakers however are capable of winning this series after bringing some players just before the trade deadline. The odds of this series remain in favor of GSW although it is close. AD needs to become consistent like Bron if it wants to win games. I am not really sold on to D'Lo, the guy is inconsistent as always over the years. The Lakers though have the depth now but they need to perform.
I agree with the D'Lo observation, inconsistent with his contribution to the team, although the Lakers is obviously improved as they make a lot of trades to acquire players, they still lack the experience, Reaves, Vando, Rui hasn't been in this kind of situation before. Beasley time was diminished. So still up to Bron and AD to become the offense for this team. Specially Lebron, he is just contend of passing the ball and distribute. He needs to at least score 30+ in order for the Lakers to have a good chance to win this series.
