Warriors show fight and heart, lose to Lakers entropy and randomness ending
Thermodynamics wins. Great game, though.
GSW plays MEM for the last play-in spot on Friday.
Apricot's In-Game Notes
Okay, free shot at the Lakers. Let’s do this!
First play, fake handoff to Steph, Wiggs on curl. Tough finish.
Aggressive Wiggs in the house today.
I like how Wiggs waved the guy out of the strong corner so he could iso Schroder.
Looney has been a beast on the boards
Interesting cat and mouse game around Steph PNR. Lakers doubling but energetically rotating after, and pre-rotating in ways that are hard to track live
GSW not letting Baze guard LBJ 1 v 1, LAL punishes the double by swinging it around to weak corner 3.
Well, can’t realistically ask for a better Q1. GSW still doesn’t have a good counter to the LAL traps… it’s mostly ending up as open 3s from hot and cold shooters
Good thing the league doesn’t watch my constant E1P love letters to Juanito
Fantastic defense on the passes in the paint.
Poole’s layup there was so aggressive and confident. Impossible before March.
Steph with an absurd looping reload 3. Then beautiful switching Steph defense against LBJ. Instead of a high tag, he goes to sitting flat against the screen to force a switch to AD, and then scram switch back to KCP on the drive. Then Dray with a stunning swipe down block. And talking about new confidence… that Poole 3 man
Gotta train the tyke to sleep through the din
Dray’s quote on AD was very diplomatic and respectful
OUR GUY JUANITO
That Steph 3 was RIDICULOUS. LAL tries to double team him and he refuses to be trapped
But think of the assets
And the rights to so many draft and stash Euros
I’d honestly like a game someday where Steph is required to shoot every time. Efficiency would be low, but the highlights would be outstanding
I acknowledge that LeBron is limited, but it bugs the crap out of me that Jeff van Gundy keep apologizing for LeBron’s injury after he dismissed Steph’s injuries in 2016 and Klay in 2019.
Bazemore is truly the God of Chaos
ESPN needs to offer a way to pay to have just the game sounds, no announcers
Wow, Drummond posts up again, then can’t handle the double team
Q5.30. Warriors twice in a row run the zig zag PNR I broke down recently
Dray (on Caruso) and AD (on Dray) blocking the crap out of average finishers
Quite a pass by LeBron to the cut. Juanito saw it coming, but the pass was in the perfect place.
You should get your challenge back if you win
Young Warriors getting a taste of playoff intensity. Hope they learn.
Mulder trying the High Tag D. But AD got the 3. Steph with the unusual complaining to the refs the entire play. Poole gets hammered out of the sky, no call
Just get it to Random Ending territory, Dubs. I’ll take the roll of the dice.
Refs serving up a nice stream of home cooking
Steph calls Wiggs to set the screen, Wiggs runs the roll nicely.
Draymond looks like he’s got a good monologue going after that crap call
I love how the announcers say how the corner curl from AD is so hard to guard, and 1 ms later Dray strips the ball
Steph really focused on that sweet floater bank shot. Sometimes he shoots that with a Let Go and Let God vibe. That was carefully sculpted
We are officially in RANDOM ENDING TERRITORY. At the start of the game I would have gladly taken this.
LeBron’s flops are better acted than Harden’s. I like the twitching of the foot, like method acting
Great box out by Poole on the rebound
The flopping is getting out of hand. Wes Matthews getting into the acting biz
Yeah that long lucky LeBron 3 might be the the random ending part
It was a great game. STILL MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE
Ahhhh, Steph got grabbed on that last play before the inbound. Probably should be a FT and the ball
Warriors show fight and heart, lose to Lakers entropy and randomness ending
I am even more mad today than I was last night. I hope that the team is likewise frustrated and channels that feeling into Friday's game.
If curry is going to be held on the last play of the game Everytime we need to start using him as a decoy, our end of game execution is fucking horrible.
