    Default Here is why the Lakers are probably screwed.

    1. Anthony Davis had to play spectacular for them to win. Big men Gas far easier than little men. See below

    2. Lebron is clearly injured and has lost a step. Still great, but he is finally objectively in decline and that is okay. He is peaking in Basketball IQ. Lebron is a big man though (see above)

    3. The warriors in the 4th made the adjustment to Make Steph ball handler and everything changed real quick. The Lakers were obviously gassed and the Warriors looked objectively much quicker.

    Look for the Warriors to speed up the pace significantly in order to gas the big guys out. I am a fan of Bron and this Lakers team, but I don't think that they can replicate last night without injury or gassing out. Steph knows what to do now.

    The warriors have been playing games every other day since wednesday last week. Sure they can adjust or adapt but fatigue will affect them throughout the series.

    Lol at people trying to say LeShrivel is injured with nothing whatsoever to back it up.

    Classic case of circular reasoning, which is something Bronie fluffers are famous for.

    Lebron sucks. "That's cause he's injured!!!"

    Oh really? The official reports say nothing about that, and he himself isn't claiming to be injured. Why would you say he's injured? "Because he sucks!!!!"

    there's more than 3 players in the series guys, this isnt just steph lebron and AD



    lakers are deep as hell with schroder reaves dlo (who's terrible at defense by the way) and vanderbilt who will all run around all game



    the only reason reaves struggled last game was because he wasnt used to running around so much and having to pay attention and stay glued to his defender in klay. reaves is going to get better as the series goes on.



    lakers heroes this series are going to be AD (obviously) and reaves and schroder.



    we already know what lebron brings. its hard for any of the warriors players to score on him inside.

    Here's a simple test to see if you actually know what an advanced stat is. Answer this one simple question.

    What is an advanced stat?

    It's the other way around. A team that consistently gets to the rim & the FT line beats out a team that relies on volume jump shooting. Lakers have the better defense, better depth & better rebounding on top of the size & paint scoring advantage. GS needs a lot of luck in this series, whether it's injuries or them shooting lights out every game.
