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

Yup gotta attack hard and hopefully we can shoot the 3 as well.

GS adjusted really well though and I expect them to come out with the same game plan on offense, hopefully we made some good adjustments as well.

Ha ha warriors

Huge win. AD - Bron playing 33 minutes.

Next up game 4. Gotta protect home court.
AD enforcing no-fly zone in the paint once again. So fuking dominant.

This is the WWE

Lebron was amazing on defense as well.

Just a great game by both AD and Bron.

Also not sure why we've gone away from Vando on Curry. Need to see more of that, especially in the first qt. Make it on hard on Curry and don't let him get into a good rhythm.

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.

4ML... its not just Warriors fans that whine when they lose. There are always a few from every team that say the games are fixed and rigged. Look no further than Furlow and Sus as perfect examples.

Congrats on a big win. Hopefully game 4 is a much better game.

The warriors will win game 4 the refs will make sure of it.

It's pretty easy to see the script.

That's fair. This is why - regardless of our disagreements - I respect your opinion and few other warriors fans as well on the board. Sadly - it has become part of our culture (not just in sports as you may have seen and not just in this country) to cry and whine about officials whenever you lose. Hell - most start crying beforehand.

I do feel Warriors fans talk about refs a tad bit more bc of Fitz commentary. Just what I've noticed. Jim Barrett used to keep coverage very fair.

Series is gonna be very close. I personally feel whoever wins game 4 will win the series. I thought it was a toss up before the start and still feel that way. I feel game 4 is gonna be a close game - very much like Warriors game 4 against Kings and Lakers game 4 against Grizzlies.

You don't put up those numbers if you're doing it every other game. Watching games instead of following box scores and hot take shows will prove that.

Actually putting Vando on Draymond was a great move. That put AD on the other Green and he could float bc of that. Also - when Curry and Dray would run their PnR - it was less successful bc Lakers were switching it and Vando will end up on Curry.

Brilliant imo. Now - Kerr will try to counter it in game 4. Lakers want to keep AD floating and Warriors want to bring him to perimeter. AD is probably the only player in the league that can contest the 3 and also get back to protect the rim at an elite level when he's playing with energy.

Lakers are asking AD to do that defensively and also put up 25+ on offense. Insanely difficult and that is why we see fluctuation in his energy levels game to game.
