The line is LAL -4.5, which seems low to me. I'm guessing that the Lakers win comfortably. Yes, I know, Steph Curry blah blah, but these are the defending champions in what is basically a Game 7.

Proactive move just placing this in P&R now before it spirals out of control. :thumbup:

i think the Lakers cover, but this is more like a Game 6, while being up 3-2 in a series considering the loser of the game still gets to play another play in game against a weaker opponent for the 8 seed.

also, the basketball Gods just aren’t that nice to us to bounce the Lakers down to the 8 seed.

It's not even an elimination game. Not even close to a game 7, but more like a game 6 when up 3-2. The Lakers also aren't at full strength yet so I would definitely give GS a chance.

I'm not investing a lot of hope in a Warriors win but go Warriors!

how are they not at full strength? Everyone is playing.

With Steph anything is possible but I give them as much chance as Sacramento beating the Jazz and Nuggets beating the Blazers last weekend.

They haven't been all healthy and playing together in a couple months. AD and LeBron are also still working their way all the way back into game shape. Yes all the players are back, but that doesn't mean they are firing on all cylinders.

Man...I so wish we had gotten the #1 seed. Facing the Lakers or Golden State is going to be a monumental task for a team just returning to the playoffs.

hypothetically, the lakers could lose 2 in a row and be out of the playoffs?

Suns will probably be watching the play-in.

Warriors are not a easy team to beat and steph will hopefully be motivated

Would definitely much rather face gs instead of la...

But sadly expecting a intense nerve wrecking 6 7 gm series vs dreaded lakers

I wish I was that confident. I feel like Lakers will take us in 5.

I'm not worried about the Warriors at all, if they somehow pull off the upset.

The Lakers on the other hand, we already have seen that they are a terrible matchup for us at full strength. We really need GSW to win this one.
