D'Angelo Russell gives the Warriors a reality check ahead of the next season

In what became one of the best series of the past NBA playoffs, the Lakers were able to defeat the champions Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.

D'Angelo Russell has given a reality check to the Warriors in the sense that he discussed the difference between the two teams giving the reason why the Lakers were better.

"Me honestly, I personally I always feel like the Warriors were like a team you couldn’t bet against, right? Like they always figure out whatever formula y’all trying to approach them with. Steve Kerr is a scientist, his supporting coaching staff they’re all scientists over there, so they’re gonna put something together to make it happen. So I never counted them out."

“But when you got Bron and AD and whatever other pieces we had it was tough for them to match up against us. We worrying about them, but I’m going into the series I’m like they gotta guard us. And that’s tough when you’re going against the Warriors because previous years it’s always you gotta guard them, how you gonna stop them, how you gonna slow them down. And we were hoping they missed shots and doing a good job of making them miss shots. But then on the other end they had a hard time of stopping us and I think that’s where the separation was.” Said D-Lo.
