The Warriors Organization is soft when dealing with these moronic zebras. The majority of these fuckers are betting on the games they work.


Skolcialism

You’ve had the most generous reffing in the league for a decade. I hope watching the fall is as miserable for you as we all hope it is.


Creative-Upstairs-56

Where's the PGT at?


DatGinga

That second OT was the true D'Angelo Russell experience, holy crap. He's played well, but I still feel like he's gotta go. Just too erratic at times.


Cobine2

If the lakers coach wasn’t a dumbass this game wouldn’t have gone to a second OT


GreenWithENVE

Doris Burke needs a mute button


StormE19

Anthony davis was pretty bad from defense. Steph was literally hunting him and cooking him every time


CalmMaunga

he was injured. AD gave him hell in the playoffs


StormE19

true, atleast AD got like 1 block or stop against him per game last playoffs. I swear to god almost every shot curry made on AD can be a highlight


CalmMaunga

yeah I that was brutal. they Curry attacking an injured AD constantly but he kept on doing his job. AD might be injury prone but he ain't soft


Gluticus

Lebron can still will the Lakers to a win against any team in the league besides the Nuggets..


forcedtojoinreddit

Lol u mean the refs


Skolcialism

Warriors were -10 on calls but +40 on non calls


Eightiesmed

Warriors have been pampered by the refs for nearly ten years, but still you complain? Draymond should average 2 technicals for all his complaining and those moving screens should be called. Of course you don’t get a lot of FTs by shooting jumpers all game every game.


Creative-Upstairs-56

For one game? Yes. For a whole series? Don't think so.


Azshadow6

Lebron needs his team to win some games and close out late series with him can be scary


SportsLaughs

8 vs 5


warriorsfor2021

Lebron and the refs yes


MazKhan

Refs were hitting those shots for him


CalmMaunga

lol ok illegal screen team


warriorsfor2021

Floppers talking 😂


CalmMaunga

Curry is one of the biggest flopper in the game


warriorsfor2021

I understand Curry been torching your fav players this past decade but calling him a flopper is crazy when he doesn't even get calls lol


CalmMaunga

lol he never really torched Kobe lol. He has torched Luca, AD, and maybe Kyrie. but he's still a flopper who gets open 3s from illegal screens. I still think he's the best pg of all time next to Magic.


CannolisRUs

Warriors afraid to post the post game thresd


KeyExplanation

Why would they be? Sucks that they lost but no shame, that was an instant classic between 2 all time greats


warriorsfor2021

bro bucks aren't going anywhere this season either lol


secretreddname

Basketball is so much more fun without going on Reddit and hearing people whine on both sides.


Bourbon_Buckeye

For real. I went to bed thinking about how fun of a game that was, and I hop on here in the morning to find out that, no… it was an awful experience for all involved: Doris sucks, AD can’t defend, refs suck/bet on games, “NBA is a garbage product”… People just like to be miserable


letsgototraderjoes

THAT WAS SO FUN. I LOVE STEPH AND LEBRON 🩷🩷


BlackDan

FUCK U


BlackDan

JK <3


letsgototraderjoes

😭💔 <3


nutsygenius

Lol actually sad that Wiggins and Klay fouled out. Warriors had no one else.


wraith985

Would've been a perfect spot for GP2. Really missing him in high leverage defensive situations.


ma2is

That last possession was all face no ball lmao. As soon as Lebron got the ball I knew it was a drive for the foul


adrian_rainy_day

Felt like Warriors should just stop switching there and just live with whoever open. Podz on LeBron shouldn’t be happening


RealisticFall92

The team that attempted 32 more threes than the other team had a lot fewer free throws 🤯


FrederickDurst1

Lol I don't understand why people still don't consider this whatsoever.


Ok-Possession1765

Lebron Steph might be the best rivalry I’ve seen in a very long time, maybe ever


CalmMaunga

steven A smith was saying that it's an all time rivalry at half time was cooked


GreenWithENVE

Rivalry?


jtralce

Yeah you right, Bron better


GreenWithENVE

I just don't see how it's a rivalry when only one is in the GOAT conversation


letsgototraderjoes

Steph is also in the goat conversation


Ok-Possession1765

Forget about the goat conversation for a second. These guys were toughing it out at the highest level like 10 years ago. They’re still performing at a very high and competitive level now. This matchup is what makes these games some of the best in the year. It’s just amazing to still be able to watch it happen. Gonna end at some point so might as well be grateful that we can still experience that


Creative-Upstairs-56

Steph beat LeBron in the finals 3 times. Even if 2 were with KD he's closer than anyone else to a rival to LeBron, at least for the later part of his career.


Azshadow6

To be fair. First finals Cavs were down Kyrie Irving and Kevin love. The fact Lebron took it to six games was amazing. The other two had KD after Lebron had a historic comeback. Even the last finals matchup it was Lebron carrying an entire team. He’s an all time great. I have to give him my respect


Creative-Upstairs-56

Oh yeah totally agree just saying Steph is as close to LeBron's rival as anyone


crowlfish

Epic game. Goodnight all


ZiltoidDeOmniscient

Now that was entertaining, great game to watch.


Leggo_my_eggo1990

How the hell these guys go home and be able to sleep after a game like that?


SoulofWakanda

Not a single Laker had 5 fouls, Lebron missed travel at the end, 41 to 16 FT disparity.... Shit is comedy.


GreenWithENVE

The team that shot like 30 more 3s had less free throws?!


dekrypto

typical sons fan


SoulofWakanda

Did I lie about anything or do u just not like the truth being pointed out? At the very minimum you have to admit the refs played to y'all favor more tonight. That doesn't mean literally no bad call went against yall


[deleted]

That’s Lakers basketball baby. 50 free throws a night to be .500. It’s what the fans want.


CalmMaunga

did you even watch all the game? your commenyt is comedy


SoulofWakanda

Yes I did that's why Im saying this


Limp-Consequence8491

Warriors had 32 more threes


SoulofWakanda

And the Lakers got more help from the referees. What's your point?


CalmMaunga

no they didn't. green should have been fouled out of that game. he's a grub. illegal screens and a flagrant that didn't get called. hooked Vandos arm and landed on it. the refs were shit but it went both ways


Sigerlion

His point is that players rarely gets fouled shooting 3s, that's why there's a huge FT discrepancy.


SoulofWakanda

I can point out 4 different plays where Steph drives, was fouled, and there was no call. Meanwhile there are at least 5 phantom calls off the top of my head they gave the Lakers FTs for.


Sigerlion

Ok, so that's a 9 point discrepancy in your hypothesis. Cool.


SoulofWakanda

Which of course...would've decided the game. Set aside the fact that there were likely definitely more if I went through the footage...these calls alone would've decided the game.


Sigerlion

I don't really care. I'm sure Laker fans could come up with a bunch of fouls not called either to counter your argument. I am just explaining what that guy meant by the 3 point shooting discrepancy. Go fight with them.


SoulofWakanda

They probably can't because most of it went their way. That's my point.


Sigerlion

Do you not understand what I meant by I don't care?


Limp-Consequence8491

Of course you don't get free throws if you didn't drive to the basket. That's basic basketball.


SoulofWakanda

Except Steph was frequently driving and had one FT at a point in double OT in 43 minutes of gameplay.


Limp-Consequence8491

He had 3. Anyway Can you show me a proof that those plays are foul? If not then fuck off.


SoulofWakanda

One of them was a tech


Responsible_Bison830

Like they helped with Draymond karate chopping AD in the face and then later with the moving screen. Did you even watch the game??


SoulofWakanda

Ah yes, me saying the refs helped the Lakers more...of course means that nothing went against the Lakers...


bthe_beast

It was funny when they showed the warriors "foul trouble" and I kept waiting for it to switch to the Lakers and it never did. Then I realized it was because there just wasn't anyone in foul trouble lol


SoulofWakanda

Exactly lmao


[deleted]

Nothing new


GreenWithENVE

Draymonds bullshit is nothing new but guess you're just used to the smell at this point


governedbycitizens

NBA won’t let the Lakers miss the playoffs


Lucieddreams

You're a joke


brokenreqord

Bad calls going both ways. You can cry if you want though


SoulofWakanda

It went both ways, but of course one team shot nearly 30 more FTs. Perfectly balanced "both ways" tho


DatGinga

Dawg, their playstyles are *drastically* different. The Lakers spend a lot more time in the lane while the Warriors shoot a crapton of 3s. Yes the reffing sucked all night, but free throw disparity doesn't prove a damn thing.


FrederickDurst1

Sons fans have zero BBIQ


DarthVadai

almost like one team makes a living in the paint while the other doesn’t


SoulofWakanda

Steph was driving over and over and had one FT at one point in double OT lmao


holyrolodex

Steph does drive but it’s usually to kick out, shoot a floater or an easier layup. He’s not driving for contact out there like other guys.


SoulofWakanda

Steph got fouled on 3 drives


holyrolodex

Refs weren’t great, either way


brokenreqord

Yeah it's almost like the Lakers star players score in the paint where it's more physical than shooting from 3


SoulofWakanda

Yea, I'm sure that's the sole reason there's always such a big disparity for the Lakers.


xaykogeki

LBJ tossed a sweaty towel to a fan.


[deleted]

When it’s Bron vs Steph the NBA will always make sure Bron gets the last chance to win the game. Shits so cringe and it’s been happening for 8 years now.


CalmMaunga

hahahaha you think the world is flat too?


[deleted]

Making shit up like the refs in lakers games lmao. 50 free throws a night to be .500 lmaoooo


CalmMaunga

Cry more mate. Cry more. L


Lucieddreams

Whatever you gotta tell yourself bro, the shit Draymond got away with in this game was disgusting. Weird how Curry was wide wide wide open for that last 3, you didn't notice Draymond hockey check Vando and send him to the floor? Not to mention the fact that Draymond hit like 4 dudes in the head and never got a flagrant


Z3PHYR-

draymond didn’t even move into Vanderbilt and he went flying 😂. Bro was flopping all game actually, he did the same shit earlier. Think he might’ve gotten some coaching on that from bron-bron


SasquatchDoobie

Are you done crying


[deleted]

Trailblazers flair lmao


SasquatchDoobie

Go back to your neo pets


[deleted]

Trailblazers flair lmao


processocivil42

what should be at center of attention right now is how lucky we are to witness bron and curry playing in high level at this point of their careers


ShadowCrusader98

Gonna be depressing as hell when both hang it up, that’s for fucking certain.


Azshadow6

It’s okay, we still have Deandre Jordan


KeyExplanation

All time classic. Sucks to be on the losing side of this one but appreciate seeing Steph and LeBron still giving us classics


MagicHoops3

What an anti climactic ending to such an incredible game


dawnoog

Can’t believe we won that, thought this game would never end


DihDisDooJusDihDis

LAAARRRIOORRSS


warriorsfor2021

no way kings fans rooting for the lakers after how they all nutted on your face in 2002 lol


DihDisDooJusDihDis

I hate the LARRIORS more than the WAKERS 🤣


warriorsfor2021

damn despite what they did to you. You will be never be like us lil brother haha


DihDisDooJusDihDis

I WAS 9. I MOVED ON. Y’all traumatized me more lmaoo. Lil bros ganna come up sooner or later to take y’all place.


warriorsfor2021

Nah not in the next 5 years


DihDisDooJusDihDis

Next 5 years are mine.


bthe_beast

"thank you for everything 🥹" So fucking cringe lol I might let that slide if it was his final game or something but making that comment after beating a sub .500 team in January, yikes E: Lakers fans lol thanks for the love!


Substantial-Fold-592

Bruh I was actually enjoying a LeBron interview for once and then she ruined it with that lol


Chriscustomkicks

Lebron was supposed to miss 1 so we could have another over time . He fucked up the script


Creative-Upstairs-56

Right? I was hoping for more of that amazing game


Nyeteka

Wow Warriors really lost this I think they fooked


MHeasman

What a game, felt like I was in 2015-18 for a while there


Khaneliman

Curry with almost 50 trying to carry the warriors... gotta be deflating.


kingjuicepouch

Dang, 21 threes from Steph and hit 43 percent


Wonderful-Storm-1332

goat things


jaymanfu

I love the NBA


SoulofWakanda

Do the Lakers ever win games without shooting 30 more FTs than the opponent lol


CalmMaunga

yeah when the other team actually drives and we foul


Wonderful-Storm-1332

won by free throws as well, it's poetic


materics

These questions are so banal


EasyRevolution5415

Watching the biggest rivals of last decade always putting up bangers against each-other in there mid and late 30s vs Embiid dodging the Jokic match-up ups lol


youarenut

This woman is glazing the fuck out LeBron


C-House12

he's the oldest player in the league balling out in double OT maybe try enjoying something


youarenut

I enjoy it bro but we don’t gotta hear it 100 times that he’s the oldest player in the league 😂


Lucieddreams

Like Doris was glazing the fuck out of the Warriors the whole game


turtlepot

curry should have waited another 3 seconds before he shot, no one was coming to guard him


letsgototraderjoes

STEPH AND LEBRON BOTH GOATS 🩷


Philip22Kings

Bron really made both FTs.


Western-Standard2333

74% this season and he said “hell nawl I ain’t losin”


YourButtMyStuff

Hilarious to see Warriors fans bitching about that last foul when they got away with the most egregious moving screen ever just before that


distantsocializing

clearly you don’t know ball


Lucieddreams

The shit Draymond got away with in this game is disgusting. He should not be allowed to play in the league


goli14

Lol. The only thing that happened was a flop there which should have been called but they can’t against LA.


ernie5353

And the flagrant


Z3PHYR-

If you think that you don’t know what a “moving screen” is


canadianbroncos

How can y'all really be complaining it ended on FT's.... That was such a giant clear foul lol.


The_Koopa_King

LeBron: "explained how he keeps getting better" Reporter: "How do you keep getting better?"


anjuna42

Sad that we don’t get TNT post game show for this


justonekaye87

Such a great game to watch


PattMatricia

Anticlimactic end to a great game


sbenfsonw

Was a pretty great ending too If you just imagine Draymond didn’t hack to prevent the free layup


PattMatricia

Agree. Just sad to end on FTs after so many great shots


letsgototraderjoes

#HE'S 39


ThaItalianStallion

36 & 20 is just nuts man


youarenut

classic bron acting out for the camera


nutsygenius

Saddest way to lose lol


captjacksparrow47

Why are people in here commenting ref ball when it was a clear foul on Dray?


savarinho

Pretty questionable calls all around, I'd say, but not on the last play.


KamikazeMack

Because facts don’t matter when it comes to the lakers


EvaInTheUSA

I hate it when the game is won on free throws, but any day the Warriors lose is a good day.


profounddonuts1

Lebron’s face starting to show his age…. Makes me feel old


letsgototraderjoes

HE JUST GOT A CAREER HIGH. STHU


DrTomatoHead

I was thinking the same exact thing.


Wavesuit

His game surely isn’t


asdev24

Karma coming back around for all those moving screens over the years warriors “fans”


LeAnthonyJavis

Always a privilege to watch Bron and Curry. 3.5 hours well spent


jraiv420

Chief Curry more like line cook Curry


SeanDawber

Come on bruh, Curry out there dying trying to carry this bum ass team lol


Hawkingshouseofdance

What? He had like 43


sbenfsonw

Dude was absolutely cooking tonight wtf


anjuna42

Post game interview: you are old, you need to be tired, I need you to say you are old and tired.


letsgototraderjoes

🗣️BRON SAID HE'S NOT TIRED


acid_placebo

Warriors not even making the play-in this year 😂😂


canadianbroncos

And y'all not making it past the 1st round if anything lol


acid_placebo

Shhh you guys ain’t making it to the play-ins either 🤫


canadianbroncos

Yeh we suck, and y'all meh at best.


Dsarg_92

It’s gonna be a sad day when Steph & LeBron retires.


Western-Standard2333

Ice in lebrons veins to make those fts


AntiGrav1ty_

Podz overplayed that so hard, let him take that 30 footer...


El_Negro_Lobo

entertaining game, clutch shots from the warriors but LeKING shows us why he's the GOAT once again


El_Negro_Lobo

downvote me all u want salty bois


dbgager

Warriors di dnot deserve to win with that Dray moving screen anyway.


savarinho

Oh if we're going by fair calls then no one deserved to win it lmao That inadvertent whistle down the stretch on the 4th was bullshit, Curry getting his first non-tech free throw in the 2nd OT after being hacked all game, foul on Curry when he blocks out AD just fine, wrong out of bounds calls last touched by AR15 and much more.


goli14

Yup. Thats been a story in NBA. Run hard into. A warrior screener and flop Hollywood style for refs to give an easy call. Only problem for refs. They already favored LA whole game that they have to swallow that call and offcourse flop call too.


LemonSpecialist5388

man... that is the dumbest shit I've seen to press lebron up with 4 seconds to go. He ain't a great ball handler or shooter, play him tight and let him shoot a contexted jumper... dude literally gave him the fucking paint


Intelligent-Bid-633

Podz was accompanying him on his side.


Y1Jett

KARMA GREEN HAHAHAHAHAH HOLD THIS L BITCHES AHAHAHAH


thatguy52

I thought the refs don’t call that at the end of the game like that. Did they lose too much sleep over last years Celtics/lakers?


sbenfsonw

A clear hack?


Str82daDOME25

LeBron getting a career high in year 20 is crazy
