I think it's still pretty loud. Oracle was louder but Oracle was probably top 5 loudest stadiums in America.

I'm just laughing at Dlo. He says some funny s**t just to say it.

AD is ridiculously good. Vando is amazing…aNd LeBrOn DoEsNt PlAy DeFeNsE.

Lakers front court of AD, Bron, Vando is suffocating.

Some are upset that Ham "contested" Poole's shot. Want the ref to give tech to Ham.

Lol

Ham better manage the mins tomorrow properly. It is very unlikely Lakers can win tomorrow - and if it's turning into a blowout - then he needs to rest AD, Bron, and Reaves accordingly. If the game is close at the end of 3rd - then go all out to win it. Get greedy but also play smart.

Double digit loss tonight for sure.

Let's get it!

Good start from Bron, finally hitting some 3s

Only good thing is - Lakers are not down 20 lol

Giving them a f**kin break not committing to the paint

This mf shows more fire crying than putting the ball on the floor

Happy with the split. Job done. Now protect home court.

Same. We all knew the warriors were gonna smash game 2. Gotta hold home court now. We play better at home and they've struggled on the road. Steph especially at crypto.

We shall see.

This year - in every single series where the home team lost game 1 of the series - they've hammered the road team in game 2.

Personally, I thought Lakers were all right in 1st half yesterday defensively - then for whatever reason - decided to hedge and blitz Curry in 2nd half (which imo is a big no-no). They got annihilated in 3rd using that coverage. Klay was hitting some ridiculous shots in 1st half - otherwise defense was fine.

They were not going to win that game - so I am really really glad they tried their blitz Curry strategy and got it out of the system. The way Warriors punished it - doubt Lakers try that s**t again.

Also feel there is a chance that Lakers will be making a change in starting lineup. Imo Rui should start. Warriors were packing the paint with Vando on the floor. Hope Bron found his 3pt range yesterday. That'll be be huge going forward.

You could tell by the effort level that they knew they were not gonna win that game. With the way the NBA refs rig games it's almost impossible for the road team to win the first two. NBA is by far the worst of the major sports with how officiating controls games.

Will miss first half of the game tonight due to travel. Stop blitzing on defense - Warriors will hit some 3s - stay disciplined. On offense - get back to attacking the paint - they can't defend without fouling if attacking with force.

Play with energy and force. If they do that - Lakers winning this game.
