So the solution is to speed up the pace to tire out the lakers. Let’s see here, top 5 teams in the NBA in pace this season: Kings, Warriors, Bucks, hawks, and… the Lakers. The lakers like to play with pace too and they have been doing it all season. I’m hearing a lot of things the warriors can do differently but it’s obvious these fake analysts haven’t been watching the lakers games because everything I hear I see an easy counter by the lakers.
I guess calling all these games a must win for both teams is anticlimatic
The warriors are definitely winning game 2 and the refs are definitely helping them this game. To make it a series. Lol! Then I just hope the refs don't get involved the rest of the series with more lame calls than good calls lol.
Lakers are tricking you, if you increase the pace lakers like to run in transition, running is not going to tire them it's their pounding attacking the rim in half court is tiring them. if the get easy points in transition see their 3pt numbers go up. .
Every game is a must win. What kind of question lmao
Old bron
Yes its a must win for the Warriors tonight. They lose tonight there is no chance they will win the series even though I picked the Lakers
A big tub of lard 😂 right in front of windy 😂
I’m sorry but how can the question be is the game a must win for the warriors. They’re down 1-0, ofc it’s a must win man😭😭😭
“Big tub of lard” with windy sitting there is crazy 😭
2:25 Didn’t the clippers lose both home games in 2021 to mavs 🤨
31-0 is crazy
Never have CJ on again 🔥🔥🔥
Game 4 is a must win if you are down 0-3.
Of course it's a must win. Bron team is 23-0 after going up 2-0 in his series 💯🏀
This series started just 2 days after a 7 game series against sac. I think gsw are the ones who might get gassed in this series. Especially by game 5.
Yall told me kd was a 7 foot steph curry.. now ur crying that he needs to take and make more 3’s 😂😂😂😂
CJ 😂😂😂 Not a must win 😂😂😂 With that approach… you have no place in the playoffs…
The fact AD was gassed is not the amount of minutes but he played the entire second half, they need bamba to play to spell some minutes, floor spacer but more importantly rim protector to give AD some spell
As good as KD was in golden state. He wasn’t that guy, it was easier for him because it was basically the Harlem globetrotters 😅. Back to phoenix though, nobody has proven they can win a chip on their own. Devin Booker has time to prove himself because he’s young, but can’t say the same for the other guys
warriors gonna win stop playin like they all of the sudden are injured and without their superstars
Stephanie A. is a legit lebro hater

There is no such thing as a "must win" game. The only game you absolutely must win is a game to avoid elimination. Or, every single playoff game you play should be a must win. You can't pick and choose.
Cj has good takes in my opinion
7:40 “Jokic is one of my fav players to watch” Clearly a lie. He hardly ever talks about The Nuggets, let alone Jokic.
SWEEEP SWEEP SWEEP
It's never a must win when you're GS.
Thank you basketball gods for gracing us with such amazing playoff series.
Joked reminds me of Tyson fury when he leans on guys
Lakers will sweep the warriors warriors too small for the Lakers
Big tub of lard?? disrespectful
Did anyone just realize that Windy is about to file an HR complaint???
why do no one think the warriors wouldve rather played the grizzlies than the warriors
Warriors were super fatigued after that game 7. It’s a different story tonight.
Good night. Stephen A. question for you plz. Why Coach Kerr refuse to put JK on the court when we are in difficult times?
Greetings from Antigua 🇦🇬
In the immortal words of my best friend and brother, Jeffery Amos this is warrior propaganda😂
Maybe the Warriors will lead 30+ points in the 4th quarter.
Is saying "big tub of lard" in Brian Windhorst's face @ 7:45 grounds for a lawsuit?
Go home windy
