Someone remind AD it’s game 5 today

Just saw an episode of “shooters paradise” featuring Jordan Poole ??
Is this a sign?

If we don’t get an Alternating Davis game we should be good either way

 

[Lizakers]

What do you mean? We basically always play small.

I feel like the Warriors small ball lineup will destroy ours. This is what they do, they are the small ball experts, not us

Our strength is our size and length with Vando, AD and Lebron in the front court

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Thia the type of game they going to put either Bron or AD in foul trouble.

I guess what I meant is that AD at the 5 is already small ball. We have the best small ball center in the world.

I think the only way this team can go “small” (matching the warriors small ball lineup like you said) is by throwing out 3 guard lineups.

Will keep saying this but AD doesn’t need 30 in order for the Lakers to win. His defense is far more important than his offense.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bron must think there's a senior discount if you get there early

Nah he tryna get away from Savannah
That ain’t no joke

 

[tupac003]

I know we all wa let AD to come out an dominate.

I want that too....

But I really feel that if D.lo scores 20 points, we will win.

GPii starting…wonder how Lakers will address this

 

[pmatic]

Lmao starting GP2 is playing into the Lakers hands. Assign AD to him and roam off him completely.

 

[drewsone]

maybe they gonna try to have gp2 be screener on steph?

 

[sohi 23]

Ad on GP and ad going to play safety on defense.

maybe they gonna try to have gp2 be screener on steph?

yeah I can see that. I’d just leave GP alone on the short roll and force him to beat me with drives/passing.

 

[pmatic]

That's fine, AD and AR doubling Steph. If Steph dumps it off to GP2, then that's Vando's responsibility to help off Dray.

 

[sohi 23]

I need a good Vando offensive game tonight. He’s due.

 

[Lizakers]

GP2’s activity on defense to slow down Dlo, get some steals and offensive boards maybe?

 

[tupac003]

Why are these dummies running stories about us issuing championship rings....we haven't won anything yet.

We got a champion in front of us. Worry about that.

 

[thasoleful1]

Warriors going even smaller with GP, if AD and Bron don’t eat in the paint then smh

 

[pmatic]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Gp just a smaller version of Looney. And he hasn't really looked good all playoffs. Now you still have two non shooters in their starting lineup like game 1

Reaching for content.

But Pat Bev put the battery in their back since he spoke about wanting his ring on his podcast.
