As every Wednesday, a new episode of LeBron James and JJ Redick's podcast "Mind the game" is out. In this episode, the King spoke once again about Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors and why are they such a dangerous team to play against.
On the podcast, LeBron share some insights about he and the Lakers study Golden State's different moves and how Steph flows on the court. These two teams seems to be destined to a winner takes all matchup in the upcoming play-in tournament. The Warriors rank 10th in the Western Conference with a 44-35 record, right on LA's heels, sitting at the 9th spot with a 45-35 record.
Talking about their potential play-in rivals, LeBron said the following:
"I talked to my teammates today about Steph Curry, in the film session. We had film today and we watched clips of Golden State. There was a clip where we gave up way too much space to Klay. We got caught looking at the ball in the air. For one second one of our guys got caught up looking at the ball. As soon as that happened Steph set a rip on Klay and he gets a three."
"On the next clip I had Steph in transition, I'm body-on-body, I didn't f***kin looked at the ball the whole time. That goes against every coach...The ball is not the problem with Steph Curry, he's the fucking problem. Steph is most dangerous when he doesn't have the ball."
Here is another example of how much the King respects Golden State's game and their leader, watching several films with LA in order to prepare themselves for that crucial matchup.
"You have to have reps and reps and reps of actually guarding something that's uncomfortable. Guarding Steph is uncomfortable, and the problem with our guys in our league...they're not comfortable with being uncomfortable. That's why Steph and Golden State will always be relevant."
Despite how great would a play-in game between these two legendary teams, it will be such a shame to watch any of them out of the upcoming playoffs. Both Golden State and the Lakers could give any top seeded team in the West a very good run for their money.
