Game Thread: Golden State Warriors (8-4) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (5-7)

[Bobcats2013]

Curry is out tonight. So it most likely won't be a blow out again. Should be a fun game.

[Scholar]

:oldlol: at Luke Walton being forced to run for playing with his phone on live television.

[MVBallin2K]

Curry would have been a threat but it was Klay who went off last time. They gotta make sure that doesn't happen again.

[To4]

Lakers Can win this.. they just do what they have to do.. hustle and get hot from 3 as well.. and MDA should give Hill More Playing time

Hill is a starter.

[alec613]

Warriors would be doing the Lakers a favor by beating them.

[Clutch]

Too bad Curry won't be playing tonight.

[Scholar]

Too good Curry won't be playing tonight.

[Uncle Drew]

Bogut running the point or something?

[Bobcats2013]

They're giving Klay the green light tonight. Wanna make papa proud.

[b1imtf]

Why the **** would you pass that up?

[Scholar]

Klay is cold right now. This is great.

Blake is looking for assists too much. Passed up open lay-ups twice. :facepalm

[b1imtf]

Kirby pls

[Bobcats2013]

What a sweet pass to Green by Iggy.

[ROCSteady]

I love Gasol.

Seems like outsiders enjoy dogging him but he can be a joy to watch when he's focused

[Bobcats2013]

Nice effort by Swaggy P.

[gts]

Nick Young almost hit his head on the rafters....

[Clutch]

Chucker with a nice dunk :applause:

[gts]

Gasol feeling good tonight.. he pledged a 1000 dollars a point tonight to the Philippines relief

[BlackVVaves]

Lakers fans....

Could you guys convey to me why exactly Kobe is coming back this year?

What's his end game? Is he delusional enough to think the Lakers are capable of doing anything of any real significance this year in the playoffs?

Just feel like it's a no brainier. Set your franchise up for a lottery pick to develop, give yourself time to rest. And try and rebuild over the next couple of seasons.

How about you save questions like this for other threads? Leave this one to in-game related actions.

Anyway, Lakers are hitting 3's efficiently, but they can't seem to defend the 3.

Go Blake!!

[MVBallin2K]

This is the Gasol we need all the time. Maybe he just needs to set a goal/challenge himself every time like tonight with the donation per point.

[Dresta]

GS kinda suck without Curry.

Once Kobe comes back, we will go deep in the playoff. So deep that we have a chance at winning it all :bowdown:

Personal glory, to move up on the all-time scoring list, and to win a championship.

Yes, he is. Just like Lebron thinks any team he's on is a contender, Kobe thinks any team he's on is a contender. That's just how he's wired.

The Lakers are setting themselves up to make a big move in the offseason, hence all the short contracts this season. The Lakers tanking is ridiculous just because half the NBA right now seems to be tanking, and further Kobe won't allow it. They're in a position where there's no fvcking way they'd get a good pick if they tanked (due to all the teams making an effort to lose right now), but they don't have enough talent to contend for a championship.

So, um, GO LAKERS!!!!

[SacJB Shady]

GS kinda suck without Curry.


they can't make the playoffs without him. Not with the blazer, wolves, and mavericks rising. Warriors need a back up guard fast.

[Scholar]

Well, at least this Lakers squad is more exciting than last season's.

[SpecialQue]

Tell me about it. I'm actually enjoying watching these games.

[ROCSteady]

Bizarre to have Nash at the announcing table while the team that pays his salary is on the floor in front of him.

What is he half retired? Comes off weird to me to have him next to Van Gundy

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Why do they feel the need to pip when Nash is talking?

[Bobcats2013]

Iggy is hurt. Dammit.

[Scholar]

Pau's up and under makes D12 cry of envy.

[To4]

cant believe GSW sucks without Curry..

[no pun intended]

If you really want the inside stuff, you gotta tune in to a Swaggy P and Kaman conversation -Nash

lmao

[hitman24]

he just say orange and gold?

[Clutch]

Lakers gonna win this. Warriors playing like crap.

[PickernRoller]

GOATmar...:applause:

[no pun intended]

he just say orange and gold?
haha i caught that too. he was about to say the suns colors but switched it up lol

[Scholar]

Swaggy P's spinning pump fake! :applause:

[MVBallin2K]

Nick Young playing with them out there with a spin before hitting a three.

[hitman24]

haha i caught that too. he was about to say the suns colors but switched it up lol

haha he just corrected himself.. i really wasn't sure if i heard it right

[magic chiongson]

nick young gives me a heart attack everytime he shoots.


i hate listening to jeff van gundy.

[ROCSteady]

As a Lakers fan, nice to see these misfits playing well together.

Farmar, Young, Hill = pretty much been shunned or moved multiple times.

Blake doesn't count because he's always been a piece to be utilized on every team he's been on.

I'm pleased with Farmar when I've seen him this season

[Clutch]

Pretty move by Nick Young. :bowdown:

Lakers running away with this one. Warriors don't have a backup point guard and it's going to hurt them,not only tonight but throughout the season. They need to make a trade and acquire a solid backup point guard.

[SacJB Shady]

If warriors dont regroup they might miss playoffs

[Scholar]

Rihanna is ugly with short hair. Bitch needs to keep a weave in permanently.

[TheGreatDeraj]

I love how Steve Blake and Jordan Farmar have adapted some of Steve Nash's moves and implemented them into their arsenal.

Hill and Gasol playing their games tonight as well

Keep it up for one more quarter

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Tough for the GSW when their starting PG, backup PG, and 3rd string PG get injured.

[Scholar]

Speaking of Steve Blake, I love his & Wes Johnson's chemistry. They work well together.

[PickernRoller]

Dat Swag...:pimp:

[Clutch]

Game over.

[ROCSteady]

Young is HOOPIN!


Farmar is HOOPIN!

[SpecialQue]

This Laker team is so much fun to watch.

[Eric Cartman]

This Laker team is so much fun to watch.

until kobe comes and ruins it

[Inferno]

If warriors dont regroup they might miss playoffs

:biggums:

[SacJB Shady]

Iggy is in shape but might be 5 pounds too bulky.

[ROCSteady]

Curry looks like he glued on that facial hair.

[PickernRoller]

Blake getting killed today...

[PickernRoller]

until kobe comes and ruins it

Kobe is a half-court player at this point in his career. He will definitely fit with the starters at a slower pace, not so much the bench unit...

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

all n!ggas in that reebok ad

[BlackVVaves]

Pau thinks its 09 :bowdown:

[PickernRoller]

GSW are gonna milk that Steve Blake mismatch all game...:facepalm

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Warriors defense is so bad in this game. Seems like every Lakers outside shot isn't contested.

[PickernRoller]

Pau with a great offensive game today. Defense is mediocre.

[Bobcats2013]

0-3 without Curry.

[BlackVVaves]

Was D'Antoni actually intelligent and willing to adapt and start Kaman over Hill? Or is Kaman hurt?

[PickernRoller]

Pau doing his Kobe impersonation...:oldlol: :oldlol:

[Quizno]

so happy with the way pau played today :')

[PickernRoller]

Was D'Antoni actually intelligent and willing to adapt and start Kaman over Hill? Or is Kaman hurt?

He actually realized once the media started calling him out...:rolleyes:

[PickernRoller]

Pau was solid today. Still that defense can always improve...

Solid win.

[Scholar]

Pau with 2010 Pau-like stats tonight.

Good game, GSW. Nice attempt w/out Curry.

[magic chiongson]

:applause::applause::applause:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

D'antoni for COY!

[bdreason]

Went to the game tonight with 3 Lakers fans. Curry doesn't play, the team plays like shit, and Iggy pulls a hammy. :facepalm



As soon as Iggy left the game everyone, including the Warriors, knew the game was over. We struggled to even get the ball past half court, and our offense was non-existent. At one point we had Barnes playing point. :facepalm
