Play a 1st quarter that gives you every opportunity to end it now and then completely no-show the 2nd and 3rd.
And yeah, AD put a stamp on this one. I don't care if he'd have scored 5 points on 25 shots - it would've been better than taking 11 damn shots in the game.
He absolutely has to impose himself on these games. [Reply]

Well if we're being tacky then we can point out how Curry didn't have to leave the team that drafted him for a championship. I'll also note that Durant will probably only have his championships playing alongside Curry.

Funny how that happens. How much money did MJ make for scrubs who looked good playing with him only to shit the bed with their new team. With LBJ, you have guys like Westbrook looking much better after leaving. [Reply]

Kerrs game 2 lineup change was brilliant. I’m shocked Ham didn’t keep his starters going in the 4th to figure out how to even adjust to it. Because if they don’t figure out an adjustment the series is over yesterday [Reply]

It's going to be the same strategy to defend the Warriors as usual. Trap Steph on the screens, force him to pass, help over and make his teammates beat you. They're going to get some good shots that way, but they always will. It's still better than giving up open threes to him.
The real adjustment has to be AD actually showing up to play on both ends for game 3. If he does that, the Lakers can win any game in this series. [Reply]

Did GM LeBron bring in AD to LA?
Why would Curry ever want to leave a team with multiple other HOFers for his entire run? He's had the easiest time of any superstar in NBA history. [Reply]

My theory is that didn't want to give a guy 3 MVPs in a row when they didn't do the same for LeBron and MJ. Jokic clearly should have won though. [Reply]
