Here, at Basketball Insiders, we are big fans of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, ChatGPT, and we have taken it upon ourselves to see if the famous bot can predict the results of the NBA Playoffs. ChatGPT does say it cannot predict the future, but that went in one ear and out the other. Instead, we ignored its warning and asked it to predict the outcome of the LA Lakers and Golden State Warriors Western Conference semi-finals. It did as it was told and in this article, we see what ChatGPT predicts will happen in the remainder of the Warriors and Lakers playoff series.

Before diving into the thrilling details of the series, here’s everything you need to know for Game 5 where the LA Lakers head to Golden State to take on the Warriors:

LA Lakers @ Golden State Warriors – Game 5

  • 🏀 Western Conference Semi-Finals
  • 📅 Date: 5/10/23
  • ⏰ Time: 10:00 pm
  • 🏟️ Venue: Chase Center, San Francisco, California
  • 📺 TV Channel: TNT
  • 🎲 Odds: LAL +250, GSW -300
  • 📊 Spread: LAL +7 (-110), GSW -7 (-110)

ChatGPT needs a little prompting to give it your desired output, so for this experiment, we told it to do several things. We told it to produce the results of the unplayed games in the series along with a review of the game that included some key moments and notable player statistics. We also asked it to produce a post-series press conference, since language is where the chatbot really excels.

With that being said, here are the key points from ChatGPT’s Golden State Warriors vs. LA Lakers playoffs predictions:

  • Warriors win Game 5 with late Steph Curry flurry
  • Lakers win Game 6 thanks to LeBron James and Anthony Davis double-doubles
  • Lakers win series 4-2

Here are the ChatGPT predictions for the remaining NBA playoff games between the Lakers and the Warriors:

Anthony Davis bounced back from his foul trouble in Game 5, contributing 28 points and 13 rebounds. The Warriors put up a strong fight, led by Stephen Curry’s 32 points and 9 assists, and Klay Thompson’s 23 points. However, the Lakers’ balanced attack proved to be too much for the Warriors to handle, ultimately eliminating them from the playoffs.

Key Moments:

  • LeBron James hit a crucial three-pointer with just over a minute remaining to extend the Lakers’ lead to six points, effectively sealing the victory.

  • Warriors Coach Steve Kerr: “I’m proud of our guys for the way they battled in this series, but we came up short. Congratulations to the Lakers, they were the better team.”
  • Stephen Curry: “It’s always tough to see a season end, but we’ll regroup and come back stronger next year.”
  • Lakers Coach Darvin Ham: “It was a hard-fought series, and our guys showed resilience and composure to close it out. We’re looking forward to the next round.”
  • LeBron James: “It was a great team effort. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but we stayed focused and executed our game plan. We’re excited to keep this momentum going.”

With the Lakers winning the series 4-2, they advance to the next round of the playoffs, while the Warriors’ season comes to an end.

So, there we have it, ChatGPT predicts that the Lakers take the series 4-2 and advance to the conference finals. Will ChatGPT prove correct or can Steph Curry and the Warriors mount the comeback?
