2023 NBA Playoffs: (6) Golden State vs. (7) LA Lakers

[SaintLouisan]

Man Vanderbilt was such an incredible pickup

Nerds told me that Looney getting 20 rebounds means getting owned.

edit: 21

AD could be getting owned by that too, but he has 30 and 20 with good D instead.

Yep he was there for free now every team is gonna try to draft the next Vanderbilt

[vnzla81]

Curry with 19 is not going to do it.

[vnzla81]

Klay is back after looking horrible in the Sacramento series

[TheDavisBrothers]

Soooo AD >>> Sabonis

[Mr_Smith]

Crazy game 1. AD is gonna have to do this every game if the Lakers are gonna win the series

[vnzla81]

Soooo AD >>> Sabonis

He obviously got cooked by Looney and his 23 rebounds.

Twitter people are clowning Poole on that last shot, that was a good shot with 6 seconds left specially with them trapping Curry, Poole makes that and they are all praising him.

Hali is right

It was a horrible shot V. It still would have been a horrible shot if he had made it,

People clowned PG for "sour grapes" when he correctly pointed out that Lillard's shot that put his team to sleep in the playoffs a few years back was, in fact, a horrible shot. It was. Now subtract being a Hall of Famer...and you will see that Poole is a fool.

Tldr: Horrible shot.

That wasn't a horrible shot (Dame's). He shoots a ridiculous % past 30 feet. He trains for that shot as a set shot to just depend on his core. Curry trains for that shot. Poole struggles to shoot regular threes efficiently. Well below league average iirc. That is a terrible shot.

I’m with Hali specially after looking at that angle where the ball was right on point but just a bit to the left.

To follow up on the super deep three convo (using 30ft attempts), this year Poole actually shot better than Curry from way deep. Curry shot worse than in previous seasons from the Logo Lillard range. Lillard shot 35% from 30ft+ according to the NBA's website (NBAOptics). Poole shot 28%. Lillard shot the highest and was guarded more closely from that range than any of the top 5 most prolific shooters from that range. Hali hits wayyyyy deep shots fairly efficiently too, but guess he didn't throw enough of them up.

I'm not sure he does need to play like this all series although I think he probably can against this small Warriors team. My takeaway from the game is the Warriors are in deep ****. This was a rare game when both Klay and Poole had it going but they still lost at home. That's not a good sign.
