I'm (only) a solid Warriors' fan (and season ticket holder now that they play in Chase Center/SF); that said, it hasn't worked out so well this year. The Lakers are simply my state 'default'; and I'm a fan of the game (and of the NBA for devising/implementing a plan to return for the Playoffs).

An NBA team has only overcome a 3-1 deficit once, I believe, in the Finals (incidentally, it was the Cavs, lol). I don't think your optimism need be all that cautious at this point, particularly knowing what the Lakers are capable of sans a catastrophe or meltdown at this point.

'Tough' or 'close' games only count if you win four - and bottom line, it's 3-1.

One helluva game-best one of the series, unfortunately the Lakers weren't able to close it out. Back at it on Sunday!

Didn’t watch last night, haven’t watched in years. How does it feel to have such poor ratings and watch Marxist, racist, BLM supporting soy boys flop all over the court?

If the Lakers don't win on Sunday then Lebron needs to chill on all the GOAT talk.

Miami Heat is back in action. Hopefully Pat Riley can get a superstar to join and help the current cast.

I would be stunned if they don't; that said, at least it's jacked the excitement level (and promotes ratings) to what I anticipated would be a lackluster Finals.

Ratings would have been much better with a Lakers / Celtics or Lakers / Bucks finals. However I could care less about the ratings. Does not make me feel anything. I don't watch something just because everyone else is.

It does take a lot more talent to play in the NBA than it does to troll message boards with racist gibberish. And I bet you watched the game but you are hiding in the closet.
