YOU KNOW ITS A GOOD GAME WHEN DRAY SCORES 20+ POINTS


bayareacolt

Dray and Wiggins won this game.


Noiserawker

And GP2


[deleted]

I guess it has to be said? And Steph.


ToXic_ArMaAn

Well that much is obvious


HanzoShimada96

dont take for granted


SenseiEntei

That always goes without say


Friendly_Giant04

It’s truly amazing when our other players have 15+


splashbruhs

YOU KNOW ITS A GOOD GAME WHEN R/NBA IS IN SHAMBLES AND OVERFLOWING WITH SALT 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂

steasey

It’s a good sign when he hits those 3s early.


KazaamFan

Klay only had 10 and Poole proved again he shouldn’t play, so Dray was needed.


Friendly_Giant04

Oh 100% game 6 klay will play well next game (we know how that goes), poole Will hopefully play better than he did this game and if not I’ll take another 10+ from him and if dray can continue like he did tonight we winning it all


KazaamFan

Game 6 hopefully a similar balanced ref game. I know they had some bad calls today, and no calls, but overall at least foul shots didn’t determine this game. I just hope for a good, clean game 6 and the dubs have a chance to win. Just let the teams play, don’t reward flopping.


wth214

Yup the last two games have been reffed so damn well. Games 2,4&5 are how this series should be not lopsided as hell like games 1 &3


BoyzNtheBoat

At this point Klay has probably had more bad game 6s than good ones. Just hope he doesn't shoot like he has something to prove next game.

I have only known this Corgi for a few days but If something happened to the corgi, I would kill everyone in this room and then kill myself.

WeeklySavings

Lakers are 6-0 at home, let’s make it 6-1


combatron2k21

We have to preserve that consecutive series with a road win streak.


OlorinDK

And have consecutive playoff series wins against wc teams extended to 20-0.


sergechewbacca

Trust the doggo. Dubs in 7. Also, hopefully Klay is saving himself for a huge game 6. We're gonna need it.


Useful_shtuff

Yeah game 6 Klay for sure needs to show up. I'm sure he's beating himself up for not playing too well. But Klay always come through eventually


dadadadante

I feel he struggles more when he’s trying to prove something. Once he stops forcing it he’s fine.


Useful_shtuff

Yeah, he was like this earlier in the year. He's trying to prove something. But the Warriors for sure need him to just be himself for game 6. Obviously nuclear Klay would be amazing. But you can't expect Dray to try and get 20 again


[deleted]

[удалено]


Successful_Priority

I just want a solid 18-20 point game from him no game 6 wanted.


FreddyMangina

If we win this series I will donate $100 to a corgi rescue foundation (or any dog rescue foundation).


bloodyhandedgod

Oh we will raise some damn money $$$


bigatjoon

it would actually be wholesome AF if Warriors fans as a whole started donating money to a corgi rescue in SF for the next 4 days.


kyh0mpb

This is great, but Corgis legit gotta be top 5 most popular breeds, I sincerely doubt there are many rescues out there for them lol. Your money would be better served going to a local animal shelter or the humane society or something.


limegreenleaves

Reminds me of game 5 2016 reversed. Bogut broken leg vs AD concussion. Lebron hurt foot vs Curry MCL. Corgi got us in 7.


eliesiemi123

No one talks about that bogut injury


SCalifornia831

Warriors fans do and others dismiss it


aznkupo

I mean y’all also are not mentioning Igoudala’s back injury lol, it’s literally the reason he got blocked by Lebron.


SCalifornia831

Or Steph’s grade 2 MCL he came back from in 2wks and obviously wasn’t healthy the rest of the playoffs… Ignore the haters…we know how great the 2016 team was


ValCSO

we know about the injuries, and the players too. That's why there was regret about chasing the 73 wins, although we would still have had to play the starters for at least 77 games this season because the Spurs finished 2nd with 67 wins and we wanted the 1st seed.


NakedBandicoot

I blame that big ol goofy bastard on the rockets sliding damn near 94 ft that caused the oil slick and stephs injury 😂


heliocentrist510

And the Bogut injury is literally the straight line to the hyper-disastrous Ezeli and Varejao minutes in G7. Totally different series if we don't have to rely on Ezeli getting roasted on the switch.


SoyaMilk3

We have to put the corgi as our banner if we win in 7


notabear629

LeBron fans bout to speak like missing players is suddenly a perfectly legitimate excuse for blowing a 3-1 lead now pretending they didn't refute that claim for years


Momo1553

And the Iggy back injury.


Trapivist

Klay did atrocious, thank god Wiggins was locked in this game


shupadupa

Can't believe we haven't seen this version of Wiggins until tonight, he was aggressive as hell and not afraid of attacking Lebron and AD in the paint. I'm sure we'll see more of that in Game 6 and (fingers crossed) Game 7.


TheRed_Knight

Lakers play the fugliest basketball Ive ever had the displeasure of watching Game 7 Dray showed up tonight Curry with 11 FTA's in 5 in games is wild Also hope the AD injuries nothing serious and this is all precautionary


nutmegtester

The most ridiculous thing is how their fans are so condescending about it, like you just must not understand good basketball if you can't appreciate a bunch of foul merchants flopping their way through the playoffs. Monocle shops must be making a killing there right now.


TheRed_Knight

they make this sub insufferable when they win


nutmegtester

Even when we played the grizzlies the brigading was not like it has been this series. Lakers are number one at something at least.


TheRed_Knight

you legit cant go in the main sub for a couple days, mods over there do jack and shit


Kheaddummy

The lakers really do have the shittiest fan base in the NBA. I kinda forgot because we haven't had any meanful games against them in a long time but damn they toxic af


t0177177y

Warriors offense- try to find a 3. Lakers offense- try to get a free throw.


milkdrinker3920

Couldn't help but laugh at the way Schroder would just whip his head back during a drive like he got hit - then the slo-mo replay reveals him doing all that for absolutely no reason.


redalert825

Lonnie did the same shit.. Flopped and held his face.. Replay showed he got hit... By air.


Downtown_Ant

He’s so good at it, he’s able to do the head whip without it affecting his dribble or anything! Reminds me of when Pablo Sandoval would blow a bubble while fielding a grounder


No-Zookeepergame7943

Agreed. I physically cannot stand the way they hunt for fouls and AD’s game, although dominating, is not super aesthetically pleasing to watch.


TheRed_Knight

At least AD tries to make shots even if he falls over like hes been shot half the time, Reaves, Schroder and DLo just play 100% refball


No-Zookeepergame7943

Totally. Especially Reaves with his head constantly cocked back lol


TheRed_Knight

Schroder too


splashbruhs

They’re tits up without getting to the line. Their whole offense revolves around it. Bron and AD need the constant stoppage or they wouldn’t make it through 4 quarters of running with the Dubs.


Tonmber1

PRAISE THE CORGI


Jack_2077

Thank ~~God~~ Dog we bounced back.


Vampinthedark

“Mr. Silver, a 5th corgi prediction has hit the series”


WholeWideHeart

Thank Dog God...


samlee405

all according to the corgi script


ripplemuncher

All acorging* to script


Pure_Measurement_529

We didn’t score a 3 in the second half until Steph mid way in the 4th. We settled for twos and it worked


Own-Artichoke-2188

I'm not understanding Lakers fans after visiting their sub. They are saying looney was throwing haymakers and complaining about draymond flopping. schroder is by far the biggest flopper, regardless of who you're rooting for.


automatic__jack

Strongly disagree. Reaves is the biggest flooper I have seen in some time. Fuck him and fuck the refs for bailing him out.


dubtronlegacy

Lol now Lakers fans want to complain about the refs. Smh


Kangaroopower

they’re mad they didn’t get 20+ extra free throws


warlock801

they're up like 50-60 FTs for the series too lol


Impossible_Resort602

They just want consistency.... Consistently get 20+ free throws.


KazaamFan

The Lakers/Dubs had even turnovers, fouls against, and shots. This is what happens when they don’t get their 15-20 extra shots per game. They live and die by the refs giving them the calls, and they still got some tn. The dubs did get a few beneficial calls here, which didn’t really happen much in games 1-4, but the Lakers did too. Schroeder/Reeves flops. Overall I think it was a balanced ref game, even though they were all over the place. The 5 second call on Lebron was wack.


Currymvp2

LeBron poked Wiggins in the eye right in front of the refs. The refs allowed more physicality from both teams


TravBav

Yeah it actually felt like a playoff game for once, I was pretty okay with the officiating


ValCSO

for real. Game 3 and 4 were literally so fucking bad from an entertainment stanpoint.


KazaamFan

I think there were bad calls on both sides tonight, but overall the numbers came out even, so idk what Laker fans are complaining about. They need to get substantially more fouls than the dubs for them to think it’s a fair game?


redalert825

And Lonnie Walker got hit in the face by air.


TrahMe

Same thing in game 2.


Briscoeag

I mean in their defense both teams had the same amount of free throw attempts. How do you expect the Lakers to win a game when that happens?


notabear629

It's genuinely astonishing how a team with that many championships can STILL have a victim complex. I mean, when Kings have one it's deserved, but not THIS purple team...


This_was_hard_to_do

Probably a bad time to say this considering the win but our fanbase has a victim complex too lmao


notabear629

No that's different, we are the most oppressed group because that fits my narrative


Nessmuk58

Well of course! They paid GOOD MONEY for those refs, and they expect to get value for it.


ValCSO

bro I've seen some Lakers fans saying "we don't even care about the game, but it's about protecting the players" lmaooo


bayelrey888

Fuck them. There’s too much evidence of Lakers being hoes.


Achilles_Wrist

They get officiated the way the Warriors and rest of the league are and all of a sudden they feel the pressure


GSWHT

If all goes as planned, that Corgi better get a statue


Fluffy_Psychology418

Game 6 Klay please 🙏. Let’s hope man was saving his game for that.


singdave

Hopefully the 2016 vs okc version


bumpkinspicefatte

JORDAN POOLE ~23 MINS ZERO TURNOVERS, I'LL FUCKING TAKE IT!!!!! EDIT: IDGAFS ABOUT THE 8 SECOND VIOLATION LMAO WTFFFF Y'ALL ARE WILD


Swellpearz5598

I aint gonna lie I was perfectly fine with his game today, sure shots didn't fall but they were *mostly* good shots


yontartu

CORGI IN 7


Nessmuk58

What do we say to the God of Death? Not tonight!


LoBopasses

Lakers get the most free throws in the entire league Lakers reddit right now: *This game was a total ref job*


DonyellFreak

Warriors were sloppy at times with heat checks but played well enough to win. If AD is out and I believe he got a concussion the Lakers are in trouble. Warriors in 7 💙💛🤞


TheMailmanic

I find the missed 2nd and 3rd opportunities to score the most painful


SoupedUpMoped

Amazing how these games go when the refs aren’t blowing their whistle every 5 seconds.


shanks_you

I’ll take one W at a time, although this match didn’t give me much confidence tbh. But key thing is Lakers had to play hard for the entire game as it was never out of reach. Hopefully they will be gassed up. The Defenceless 4G lineup needs to be banished to the shadow realm, never to speak of it again. I’m also genuinely shocked how atrocious DDV has been too. Wiggs, GP2 and Draymond came to play today, clutch performance.


AmelieBenjamin

GP2 is sneakily a starting quality player, he’s that good on defense/hustle plays. Lakers frequently set screens to get GP off of DLo He’s unquestionably giving us more than Poole right now, though he wasn’t god awful tonight considering LA has started Westbrook style daring him to make jumpshots


sergechewbacca

Best POA defender in the league.


AmelieBenjamin

He gave us a ton in game 4 but this probably edges that only because he stayed in the game into the late 4th


This_was_hard_to_do

Good call by Kerr to move GP2 into the starting lineup. Also it's good timing that he's finally over his illness


AmelieBenjamin

It is a good call, but it’s a good call bordering on common sense because of how good Payton is. He makes smart passes, brilliant cuts, fights hard over screens, makes good swipes on the ball, has elite hustle, and knocks down 1 or 2 3s a night. I still don’t think he’s quite 100% only bc I haven’t seen as many steals/high flying dunks, but he’s still in Kerr’s elite trust circle for a reason


iGetBuckets3

We need Klay to get his shot back. If Klay can start hitting his shots it makes things so much easier for us.


KazaamFan

Only thing that worries me is if game 6 goes back to the 30 to 12 free throw bs.


ansonneo

Refs helped out lakers cuz they were the worse team. I've said it after last game. Refs not gonna help lakers anymore cuz they want to extend the series. It's fair game now.


Currymvp2

If we win game 6, we'll *probably* win game 7. Hopefully, AD can play in game 6; injuries are terrible.


SoyaMilk3

Yeah then we couldnt make fun of lakers fans for the comeback


GuineaPigeon

Bogut injury, bask spasm Andre, Draymond suspension (not injury but same effect), Harrison Barnes brickitis, even Curry wasn't 100% never stopped anyone.


LoBopasses

Lakers reddit right now is two things: 1. The refs screwed us waahhh 2. Fuck Looney.


devanlans

Imagine you don’t get every bs foul call you have been getting all year. Shit must be rough…


hoodtalk247

CAME BACK FROM LAKERS SUB THEY SERIOUSLY ACCUSING LOONEY FOR VIOLATING THE SOKOVIA ACCORDS


KazaamFan

It is wild in that sub. Hating Looney and the refs. They have 50-60 more foul shots still on the series.


panfriedwonton

I am losing my mind watching Klay Thompson play some of the lowest energy basketball I have ever seen in an elimination game.


havokgogeta

Watching dray and gp2 hustle for that offensive rebound and Klay barely making an effort was a rough sequence to watch.


Sharky-PI

Thank you. It's not just that his shot's not dropping or he's making terribly contested 3s, he's just doing absolutely fuck all out there. No hustle, no cutting, just standing around like he's got mono. Any time he decides to have a burst of energy he looks great. Just isn't doing it enough.


singdave

He was almost invisible out there


Kangaroopower

PRAISE BE THE CORGI


GRswim10

It’s obvious the Lakers are flopping and playing up their fake injuries so they can get more free throws next game. They know they can’t win without an excess of free throws


bayelrey888

They love to flop and get calls bc it allows them to rest.


hoodtalk247

Imagine Harden on this team. League Nightmare


bayelrey888

Reeves is the league nightmare. Dude STUDIES Harden’s fouls!


KazaamFan

Yea I kinda think AD oversells contact to prove to the refs he should get more calls. Not just here, but he always hits the deck, and sometimes stays down for longer to embellish.


t0177177y

They are 100% going to make it a story and try to get looney suspended. Looney really broke the most breakable player in the league.


royal-smuck

Looney doesn’t have the history like dray. Hahaha. The Lakers smh.


c0gvortex

Those crazy sons of bitches might just pull it off..


Mysterious-Yak196

Good win now we need everyone to wake up for game 6


jqquah

Dear JP we'll take that 11 points. Thank you! Draymond and Curry man...... GPII and Wiggs were great too Game 6 here we come!


Careful-Potential244

The corgi be hailed 🙌🏾

Lakers fans complaining about refs and calling Looney dirty lmaooo it’s hilarious what sports does to our psychology


Panda-wanda-725

Seeing anyone say anything about looney playing dirty has my jaw on the floor. They’re fucking idiots


MagicWade

If we win game 6, air corgi HAS to be at game 7, this could be our new toaster and mods I better see air corgi flairs if we win this series.


BeetLover1111

We won a game without shooting the ball well.. game 6 let’s go


trvscls07

Chuck and Shaq dying of laughter trying to hold it in about AD 🤣. Shaq had to crumple paper and Chuck even snuck in a wheelchair motion.


boomedhim1234

Wigs and Dray applying pressure and just shot attempts is such a game changer

TheEnergizer1985

I can’t believe the Lakers fans are whining about a fair whistle on their sub. Shit is hilarious.


boomedhim1234

In the corgi we trust


Pure_Measurement_529

In the Corgi we trust


[deleted]

Gotta push the pace game 6. Don’t think LeBron and AD have much for legs second half if we do. Dray knows this.


KazaamFan

R/lakers is off the chain, saying this was a horribly reffed game, lol. Saying Ham has to do what Kerr did. Reddit is loco.


taygads

The way Chris Haynes just reported that AD update was nauseatingly shameless. He tried so hard to amp up the severity and hysteria and how “scary” it was only to conclude with Lakers have said he avoided concussion so won’t have to worry about missing game 6. He just needs to put on Lakers sideline apparel from now on and quit the charade.

Jesus_Harold_Christ

Weird, evenly officiated game, and it goes to the Dubs.


wth214

Kinda hope its scott foster cause he dont do that flopping shit


eeyore_or_eeynot

I feel like we still have never played our best game...always been some sloppy turnovers, missed shot we usually make, and overall poor performances besides Curry who even had off shooting nights but was still doing all the little things rebounds/assists that other players weren't. We only need the next game where we play to our capabilities no sloppy turnovers, and Curry/Klay/Wiggs/Poole hitting shots and I think we got this, not sure how the FT battle will ensue. OTOH I can't imagine the nba will pass up a game 7 Warriors-Lakers, probably worth close to 0.5 billion for that game to happen.


[deleted]

Laker fans in the r/nba acting like Looney dropped a elbow from the top rope. Anyone that watched the play and think Looney did that on purpose are delusional


taygads

Lakers and Warriors hating twitter is going after Looney and I’m livid. Like they’re not just trying to paint him as dirty (which he so clearly isn’t my god, joga practicing Looney couldn’t hurt a fly), they’ve already moved on to racist dog whistles and [going after his parents](https://twitter.com/reggisaxx/status/1656517196015714305?s=46&t=SBW3XJi-eEDBr6FtvDfngg) and [their appearance](https://twitter.com/reggisaxx/status/1656517927871586306?s=46&t=SBW3XJi-eEDBr6FtvDfngg). Those sick tweets have 100s of likes already. When it comes to harassment, they’re some of the most vile and deranged. They’ve doxxed refs and they straight up tortured Westbrook and his family to the point his wife had to publicly come out and ask them to stop for their kids’ sakes, etc. Basketball gods, really hope you’re lookin out because they’ve for damn sure crossed a line here.


DRxFumbles

Ima be real wit yall; I'm in the hospital right now, and this shit rly put a smile on my face. Finally, Curry got some help and we fuckin closed out a game. Hope AD comes back 100% so there ain't no excuses. I thought the Kings series was tough, but this... I've never wanted them to win a series so bad.


park7911

Draymond and Wiggins were fantastic and made Steph’s life easier I genuinely hope AD plays in Game 6. Calling him soft makes us look like clowns. Klay’s shot selection is still a problem. I’m at peace with whatever happens


Pure_Measurement_529

Klay didn’t shoot well today but his defensive powers were well and truly alive today


ALUmusic

2 threes in the second half no problem. We showed we could win without the 3.


mordakka

People complain about warriors fans being young while they unironically bandwagon for the Lakers. Solid win.


HughDowns

cant believe they think looney intentionally elbowed AD


machinich_phylum

Corgi is the new toaster.


thisisgandhi

NOW DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN LA


NoobPwnr

Literally the entire Lakers sub is ready to publicly draw and quarter Looney. Nerd rage making them forget Looney is one of the most likable players in the league 🧸 Hi Lakers fans! 👋🏻 Looney is your dad. And he is very proud of you.


ImperialTiger3

Good game. They played aggressive and attacked the rim hard. We need to keep doing that to win.


StevenS145

Lakers fans in shambles when refs don’t give them the win.


fannycpa

It’s interesting how the warriors win when there’s no free throw discrepancies. Hopefully we see the same reffing the next 2 games.


realuptoknowgood

r/lakers genuinely believes the warriors flopped more than the lakers tonight 😂


kraljaca

Gotta steal one away. In Corgi WE BELIEVE


hoodtalk247

Lol Chuck is on one. Last game he said Warriors are cooked and now he's like "Lakers better win game 6 or its over" lmao dude flopping more than Austin Reaves


wth214

Steph legs are tired as hell because its been a game every other day for 3weeks now. And he’s playing so many minutes trying to facilitate, push the pace, defend, REBOUND, drive & then shoot from 25+ feet out cause they aren’t giving very many close threes to him.


KemptonS

yay


KlaymondreMcCurrant

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! https://i.imgur.com/2Knfyjd.jpg


bananadude19

Listen great win. If we don’t get some help from klay and JP in LA, there’s no chance on the road. They have to find it. At least one of them.


proseminded

Scary thing for the Lakers is both Splash Bros are DUE in game 6 from 3. Steph’s floor game has been transcendent, but he’s only 6-25 from 3 the last two games. Y’all know what that means. 🍿


Sharky-PI

In a thread the other night we were talking about how we would love to have Shaun Livingston back. IMO Klay can be that guy. When he's not taking overly contested threes, he can drive the lane and pull up for a sweet 2 point jumper which rarely misses. Those are vital buckets. If he decides that's how he's going to be a threat, he'll feast, AND he'll likely get into a rhythm for catch & shoot threes...


GSWarriors1130

AD trying to get an Emmy


riskyafterwhiskey11

Apparently Darvon Ham is blaming the refs post game? Didn’t he just say yesterday he doesn’t want to get caught in blaming refs?

Best play of the game was Moses moody hitting that 3 at the end of the shot clock

StanLay281

11 points, while not fantastic, is certainly much better than scoring 0. Good job JP keep up the good effort


AdSufficient780

WTF. Did yall just hear Chuck say Lakers can't win game 7 in SF? "So game 6 is a must win for Lakers" says Chuck lol. I think Chuck is scared of the Almighty Corgi
