You didn’t think that purposely missing the free throw to go up 4 was good strategy?
As the scenario unfolded, you could kind of tell in his voice he realized what he had just previously said was idiotic.
But it was too late, that was brutal.
lol, that was the best part
“players think about these things and talk about the strategy!!”
As a Lakers hater, I think it will be fun, just because it will be some good basketball, it will get chippy, and will likely end with Lakers elimination.
If the Lakers somehow win, it helps the Cs' title chances. Win win win win.
<Bob Marley Voice> Gotta be Iron... in the Groin... for Zion! </Bob Marley Voice>
Yeah.. why wouldn't Zion play on an injury that was severe enough that he knew immediately that he needed out of the game? Why would anyone want Zion to play those minutes if he was basically going to be stationary and/or could possibly injure himself even more severely?
Some weird performances tonight from star players….AD and CJ in the first game and flat Steph in this one.
He stones everyone he plays against. His screens feel like they are amongst the hardest in the league. He gives as good as he gets which is why his battles with Draymond are always heavyweight bouts.
He also appears to feed on not only the pain of others but his own as well.

The Lakers free throw disparity is noticed by a lot of people beyond this board, there are a bunch of articles and posts that anyone can find with a simple google search.. You can't just say there's zero substance there when they have a FT disparity that is so out of whack from the rest of the league... when the Lakers are 400+ and the second team is 200+? Not sure how there's nothing to see there. But I get it.. LeBron's entire career we've been told that he isn't fouling people when what we're seeing is him clearly fouling people and just not getting called for it. My friends, who aren't Celtic fans or SoSHers have also been talking about how much of a joke it is that the Lakers shot 14 more FTs tonite...especially after how the second half of the season has been called.

The trainers told him it was a left leg injury not Zion, and that they'd get imaging tomorrow.
Now whether that's true, or the trainers/doctors gave him more info and like many/most coaches he's not saying until he has too.... open discussion. Nothing about his responses in any way makes it seem suspicious.
That's what makes it suspicious. The suspicion being he knows more than he is letting on. I think you may have come to my comment with a preconceived notion that my suspicion was about the legitimacy/seriousness/ability of Zion to return to the game/questioning his toughness. I don't think that at all.
It’s more than suspicious it is common for coaches to play dumb like this. I’m thinking that radsox nailed it with the foot again. Zion knew 100% that he was done in ripping off his wristbands and going to the locker room.
Yes. That was exactly my interpretation. It's so bad they don't want to say yet.
I knew GS was in trouble when Shaq expressed confidence that they’d win because Klay would get going.
Such an odd game from GS. Not a ton you can do about Klay doing his best impression of a ghost who is terrible at basketball but they for some reason have played into the Kings hands all night making Curry handle the ball against pressure rather than working to get him open off the ball.
Curry also looks tired. Not finding the pockets of space that he used to.
