ATTENTION LAKERS CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS CLOSE OUT GM5 IN HOSTILE CROWD

[LAKESHOW]

Weve never went on a run. Every time just turn over or bricks or something. But we have had a run once tonite

[Fedor]

It’s been an uphill battle since the start.The officiating has been so spotty this game

[chefy]

everyone trying to play hero ball

[chefy]

if we dont score on the next possession...just sit bron

[tugs]

That was an early white flag methinks

Man, without AD, LA will miss a Thomas Bryant for sure

[ROballer]

Davis exited the building in a wheelchair. That seemed like a soft tap on the face, in no shape or form was it an elbow or anything with intensity.

If he has a concussion over this I'm done with society.

[dAdo dA dEvil]

We'll get them next game.

[LAKESHOW]

Bunch of no shows tonight

I think we gave this game away.

[LAKESHOW]

Well folks, I knew when we got 2 in a row from AD, we wasn't gonna get a 3rd.

AD did well. Turnovers hurt us in this game.

This was pretty much as expected: Warriors at home with their backs against the wall, they were always going to surge like they did. It's next game that matters. Hope there's no lingering effect of that concussion, mentally or physically.

I don't even think the Warriors played that well, but it was by far their most balanced team effort of this series.

At this point it's also obvious Lebron is playing through some injury. He just doesn't look good and I don't believe for a second that his cliff suddenly arrived after sitting out most of March. That right foot is gonna need work.

Agreed on all counts.

We’ll have to claw our way through game six. I hope for a blowout but expect a double OT game.

I’d be fine if Denver should sweep us in the next round in case they’re the clearly better team, but losing to GSW after being up 3-1 will taste bad legacy wise.

The AD injury, the turnovers, and LeBron playing with a bad foot; all, had contributed to the loss of Game 5. To allow for an undersized Warrior team to outrebound the Lakers by 10 rebounds, however, showed a lack of effort and intensity by a Laker team which should have closed out the series.

Just don't get blown out by 18 first half. ...

I believe this team, if they just weather the storm (the crowd will be violently hostile first half), and keep it within a single-digit striking distance the whole game going into the final quarter,
this team will figure out a way to win.

Looking for a big game from dlo, Schroeder, Austin, or maybe even Beasley in the closeout quarter. Can Lonnie the Fourth have another huge game?

good role players usually just have 1 very good shooting impactful game and D'Lo, Reaves, Walker and Schroder (dropped 19 game 1) have done it already so I'm not sure if they have another one under their sleeve.
Vando hasn't hit any shot at all, so maybe him.
If I am Ham, I would closely monitor the core's energy early. If D'Lo, Walker, Reaves are a step slow, even Lebron and AD, if they are down big early, I would try Beasley, Rui and Gabriel to spark the team.

Someone said a couple of weeks ago superstars will have give you 2-3 great games and 1 from the supporting cast. D’Lo, Schroder, Reaves and even Walker already gave them ONE… so I don’t know who else can give them a boost. Lebron had a good shooting game in game 2 but no one else showed up. Not sure if he’s going to get another one with a bad foot. But I was too focused on the Lakers..
I expected Wiggins but freaking Dray Green came out of nowhere..now I’m worried about Klay and possibly Poole.

So what's the deal with AD? Is our season over?
(Didn't read or watch media i was so depressed. Just minding my work today in the office and decided to pop in to ask)

I've been pointing out the problem that when AD switches on D on the pick and roll we lose our rebounder. That leaves only Bron as our big. That's why we need one of Rui or Vandy to be in the game so we have another big who can rebound. We make the Warriors pay with the play where AD just run down on the court after the shot and expect for an outlet pass after a missed shot. This play is to counter that pick and roll by the Warriors where they take AD outside of the shaded area.

I think it's nothing serious. I hope he comes back strong on game 6.
