This series makes no sense.

I mean, yes it does. The Lakers are basically constructed to be Warriors kryptonite between the officiating being a wash, the Lakers having quite possibly the best front court in the league (Memphis MIGHT be up there fully healthy, but yeah), and the Lakers play style is well-built to murder the Warriors unless the Dubs manage to pop off from deep.

But they NEED to do that to stand a chance.

i disagree pretty hard that a bad 3pt defense with multiple low effort defensive players is a bad matchup for a team with the shooting and ball movement of the golden state warriors. quite possibly their best matchup imo

no, that would be when they blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 nba finals with the first ever unanimous mvp

Back in my day Larry Legend played 47 minutes a night and you didn’t see him break down prematurely due to largely avoidable injury!

No, last year the Grizzlies absolutely obliterated them in one game by something like 40

Lebron and AD being able to rest in the 4th is going to make game 4 incredible. The Warriors basically know they have to win that but those two having gas in the tank to potentially counter it should make for great drama.

You're 100% right but I guess I'm just surprised after the King's series for the Warriors to go back to just needing to spray and pray, I thought they made progress offensively.

When the motion offense is going well, its not really spray and pray because the extra pass makes so many of the shots wide open. Sometimes they get over 40 assists.

That is true. I should not curse you with the term I use for Blazers/Raptors who actually are spray and praying.

Wilt averaged more than 48 minutes a night one year, the true record that will never be broken
