Nobody is hinting at that except hot take jockeys on radio and TV.
Yup...

the Lakers have two wins that were total tossups at the end (G1 and G6) where Golden State outside of 1 guy played nowhere near their potential.
you think Johnnie Walker Red is going to show up again?
you lose G5 tonight in blowout fashion and you had BETTER win G6 in LA or you are TOAST.
2016 warriors? This isn't the same team pal. 3-1 comebacks in the NBA are extremely unlikely. This isn't hockey. Warriors MIGHT win today but they are not winning this series. You aren't paying attention to this series. The Lakers are winning on the margins. That's how you win in the playoffs. Its not the warriors year.
Lakers have 50 more FTS then the warriors in 4 games. James is the most experienced player in NBA history. You are a fool if you think he will let this slip. Wager wisely . That isn't sactown.
Lakers lose tonight 100000% Don't do it Pizza Guy.
Done deal Klay thompson gets injured and that stadium deflates like a popped balloon tonight. Don't get me wrong i never wish an injury on anyone it's just a prediction.

I respect the runs u have gone on brother and never would even chime in. I'm 22-2 with Knicks pending tonight in the playoffs. Gs wins tonight by 17. Usually I'd be rooting for you tonight I cant. U may be right though seems everyone is saying Warriors come out and play. Good Luck
Every talking head is picking Golden State by double digits. I'm curious to see what adjustments they make and how the Lakers counter. Short of Jordan Poole coming back to life, I'm thinking the Lakers keep it pretty close.
