90% sure we lose game 1 lol

Lebron is 3-13 in game 1’s on the road

fully expect a game 1 loss with a bunch of overreacting not only from us laker fans but the rest of the world.

like last year where we lost game 1 in both the portland/houston series

 

[sohi 23]

I think they lose game 1 too.
However, lakers are coming off a high intensity game while the Suns have been waiting around for a week. They might be rusty.

Nope. We winning game 1 for sure.

warriors game made sure of that.

Our game 1 was vs Warriors. Suns are ****ed

I was listening to 957 yesterday and they were literally complaining about fouls all day long. No actual analysis at all just complaining about fouls. Same thing on the GSW subreddit. It’s no wonder Warrior fans have the basketball IQ of a door knob. I always root for bay teams but I can’t wait for Steph to leave so these fair weather dumbass fans who don’t even like basketball can go back to not caring.

95.7 the game is unlistenable

ironically the best radio person ever is the big fat guy in the afternoon. Ray Ratto? He shuts the other homer’s up so often that it’s almost awkward.

one guy: “wow. The refs were awful. Steph never gets calls. He’s the only superstar that doesn’t get calls and doesn’t shoot lots of free throws!!”

ray ratto: “ya bc steph is a shooter and plays outside. Doesn’t draw contact”

Ray Ratto is legit. Been out here forever.

What part of the Bay do you live in? I lived in the Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek area for awhile

Right over the altamont near mountain house so very inland but I’m in Vallejo area a lot.

With the lack of size on Phoenix, I wonder if THT could make an impact attacking the rim. But I guess that would mean less minutes for Wes, whom might be needed to guard Booker. But Caruso has done a good job guarding him before.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We beat PHX handily the last meeting without Bron. Therefore we beating them again on Sunday with a full squad. But PHX will take Game 2.

We then go up 3-1, lose game 5 at PHX then finish em off at home in G6

I remember Caruso frustrating the hell out of Booker lol.

It's not that Drummond has been terrible, but overall the team just functions better overall when he's not on the floor.

That's where Pelinka may have goofed since Dre doesn't spread the floor.

Couldve gotten Boogie instead, but Rob Lowe chose Drummond.

Can't wait for LAL vs LAC because I will be paying close attention to who will make the bigger impact between Boogie and Andre

 

[DLF]

He missed tons of open shots. Data is deceiving. He played pretty damn good since the Denver game with Drummond.

 

[sohi 23]

THE G.O.D. THE G.O.D. shoutout to the GZA

Drummond had some nice blocks. I don’t want to completely **** on him but that’s a crazy stat.

AD @ the 5 is a cheat code. Break glass in case of emergency if you will. We only use it when we need it. I don’t mind that tbh.

But boogie is completely unplayable against curry and like players

Drummond can stay in front of them on those pick and rolls

 

[nermindee]

Im more worried about Phoenix roll players... like Bridges, Payne, Carter

gotta keep those scrubs from contributing

 

[atlsfinest]

 

[DLF]

Is there a star less trustworthy in pregame hype then AD? He said the kings and raptors games were “must wins”.
Said the dubs game was a must win too before laying an egg for 3 quarters

now he’s saying LA can beat anyone and that if we play like we did vs them last week we’ll be fine.

10 and 8 confirmed for AD lol

 

[darthska]

Yo, C CP1708 , the upcoming series against the Suns got me wondering what the homie zodogg is up to these days.

Good ol' boy.

Wonder if the station will point out all the non-calls going against the grizzlies. Even JVG is wondering how warriors are allowed to play football this game lol. Will be crickets
