Lakers have missed 9 FTs in this game. Warriors still have a chance if they can make a run with AD/LeBron off to start the 4th (who are predictably completely gassed after their efforts in the 3rd). [Reply]

Let's hope game 4 isn't the usual pattern with AD and that he can repeat a good performance instead of following it with a dreadful one. His effort was undoubtedly the difference here. [Reply]

Golden State can't win if Davis gives a shit. Full stop. [Reply]

It certainly looks like that. He effectively shut down their screen game today singlehandedly and they have no chance of stopping him if he's attacking the rim. [Reply]

It always seem it goes like this:
Game 1 is a very good close game, maybe an upset
Game 2-7 rotating blow out games.

The refs play a big part in that.
Effort levels play a part in my mind. The Lakers (and particularly AD) let game 2 go very easily after getting game 1.
The Warriors also know they had one more chance to get home advantage back in game 4, so they didn't fight as hard as they might have otherwise once the Lakers made their run (wanting to save something in the tank in game 4).
