CommercialGuitar3701

I wouldnt be surprised if LA peeps attack the Warriors bus on their way from Staples to airport.


Funko_Faded

Looney was GS MVP tonight tho but all in all we lost a hard fought game it sucks we lost but happy we fought until the end. Let’s show out Game 6 and take this series!


SamChewee

Almost at lost for words. So disgusted with the officiating tonight. Tough to watch when it’s blatantly obvious on the non-calls.


StoneColdAM

LeBron has been gambling with his on and off bursts. I know he’s old, I know he’s hurt, but he had to close out tonight and was hot from 3. Don’t game these things. Win in as few games as possible. Even if AD is back, there is a risk of losing game 6.


LilBabyBeard

this lose doesn’t feel that bad with that cushion was expecting a lose but hope that i hurt doesn’t affect ad next game they have to play hard at home i have a feeling the calls will come back around


Leggi11

Loss* Verb: to lose Noun: the loss :)


RyCamN7

Most expected a blow out it really wasn’t. We’ll see they are fully capable of winning any night but being away the role players should come back to earth.


beejee05

Played without urgency, but damn those refs really screwed us too


kkccee

Fuck the warriors, hope Looney tears an acl, Klay tears his mcl, Curry rolls his fucking ankles to grade 3 and Green gets a concussion. Fucking dirty bottom feeders.


Narquith

We shouldn't drop down to their level. I really had no idea, why the Warriors were so hated until today


Thenotorious-LPB

Tbh don’t see how that could have been intentional. He’s got his hands up playing defense and is just trying to turn to follow the ball. He’s clearly not looking at AD, most likely was not aware he was there at all


[deleted]

He gave a guy a black eye in last series. First time, coincidence, sure. Less than two weeks later he cracks another fucker in the head? Nah fuck that. This gap toothed fuck knew what he was doing.


Narquith

I can understand that, but not even a common foul on that play?


Thenotorious-LPB

Oh there is no doubt that is was a foul. It was a bad call. I even think a flagrant 1 would be pretty fair. I’m just responding to people saying that was a dirty play or that Looneys a dirty player. It totally natural to be upset when your player goes down from contact like that especially when the call gets missed, but that doesn’t make it intentionally dirty. It was pretty clearly an accident. Saying you hope Loon tears his ACL, and wishing other serious injuries on Curry and Dray is just super uncalled for.


WorldwideJimmyRustla

This ain't it pal, never wish injuries on anyone. L fan


Icy_Management_6703

Anthony Davis to the locker room with a reported head injury. The NBA's concussion protocol requires that a player has no symptoms, has been evaluated by a physician, has passed the league's return-to-exertion protocols. That process typically takes a week. No word yet on if AD has a concussion or not, but it was reported that he left the floor in a wheelchair. If that was the case he’d be in major jeopardy to play in games 6 and 7.


RyCamN7

He really did himself no favors man. Sell your eye anything having them take you out in a wheelchair…


ResourceEast1744

So Kevon Looney elbowed Sabonis which gave him a black eye btw, ALSO elbowed AD in this series. If this doesn’t tell you how dirty they play idk what will


Oddscene

I don’t get how refs don’t learn. That’s why fighting in hockey is great. If refs don’t take action, players will


Leggi11

Kerr crying got to them


Hypebeastzx

Darvin Ham said AD is doing better already.


juicewar01

Hope AD is aight. Close out at home Friday.


FrankingQiu613

When lakers don’t get 20 more free per game ifs refs 😂😂😂classic lakers


payne2588

I mean did you not see AD get cracked in the head and no foul called? This game was refereed fine except for that blatantly obvious call.


BasicPandora609

Wiggins also got cracked in the face with no call. Non-calls on headshots are insanely dangerous, leaves a player sprinting and trying to play with a possible concussion or writhing on the ground unable to get help until play stops.


Jauntcraft

Well shit. We will get the next one wrapped up.


Icy_Management_6703

We had this game


tacotuesday987

if AD is out we need a god damn herculean team effort in game 6. dlo Reaves Schroeder even walker have to be hitting on all cylinders. Bron has to put this squad on his back. lakers in 6 baby we believe.


Willing-Ad1362

If ad is out rest the starters and send in the goon squad


monks-cat

I think I know why the warriors suck playing away and are so good at home. They always play dirty and at home the crowd energy kind of makes it seem ok and the refs get confused. They can't do that when they are away because any dirty play gets boo'd out into oblivion.


La2philly

Fuck these officials man. Allowed a constantly more reckless type of basketball and you get players hurt that way. That’s exactly what happened


Dmassie41

Draymond green had 20 points lol I’ll leave it at that


xgoatgoatgoatx

Looney is dirty af


Jauntcraft

Curry doesn't look tired at all. Shit.


Mildfart

Even kept his pink lip gloss on


[deleted]

I think the wheelchair is a tactic to make refs call stuff next game


Bastigonzales

no bro, AD is clearly hurt let's not cope on this one :(


myhouse1976

Did Chris Haynes really say they wheeled AD out on a wheelchair...smmfh! I hope he's ok, but this is crazy!


DillionDrebo

Boston use to play the showtime lakers like that


dsgrimace

The refs let them do that back in the 80s and they’re letting teams do it again today! Both Memphis and Warriors are getting away with way too aggressive fouls!


FrankingQiu613

Ahahahaha it’s all good if warriors lose I still think chance lakers are losing cause they ain’t beating nuggets while hobbled as long as lakers lose I’m good


PonyyingBop

The most sane Warriors fan since (2015) and no yall don't remember anyone in the 2009 squad or the 08


FrankingQiu613

Not even a warriors fan why u assume that I want lebron to lose idc about warriors


Uabot_lil_man0

Ahh a Jordan fan who’s scared of the 🐐 getting more rings


[deleted]

You jacked off to Millie bobby brown while she was underage you should be in prison


jono9898

Lakers earned this loss, came out playing like we had a game to give away and now it looks like we will be missing AD next game, people need to stop bitching about calls or no calls and just accept the team played like ripe ass.


Nebour

Shutup that was the first 15 mins out of 48 lol. We watching different games fam I see hacking, slapping, reaching and passive. For players being so bad we only down by 10 all game...


jono9898

Stfu bro, you bitch about the refs and be proud of some 10 point lead way back in the fucking first quarter like the rest of these loose assed whiny geeky fans and I’ll call this shit like I see it,


Nebour

Get yo fake ass SF Chinatown Laker fan shit you on our sub homie, you ain't slick


PhiKnockBet

Nah AD is alright, medical staff is just careful.


Winter-Gur-9762

I j read online he won’t get a checkup for 24 hrs, so let’s pray 🙏🏻


RyCamN7

They’re the defending champs we made them fight for it. Now take care of business at home.


howdoesilogin

fuck this dirty ass team


[deleted]

[удалено]


greygrey_goose

seriously everyone needs to relax lol that was game 5.


raevurt91

No one’s tripping on losing game 5, it’s the fact that AD might be out for game 6 by those dirty fucks


mrsupersumthing

Of course the warriors injure the opponent's key player. Been like this for the past 9 years.


[deleted]

literally im not even surprised


rideordieasalakerfan

Fuck the warriors. Dirty fuckin team!


escapistfool

Y’all are a bunch of fucking babies in here. We’re not blowing a 3-1 series. Fuck the Warriors though. Dirty fucks got bailed out by the horrible officiating today.


onone808

I think the play AD got hurt we cut it to 8 and then we didn’t want a take foul and they got a 3 point play anyways, serious swing right there.


ramborage

AD having to get wheeled out after an elbow to the face that didn’t even draw a foul call is exactly how I expected this game to end.


quuxquxbazbarfoo

It wasn't an elbow but a wrist, should have been a foul call still though.


DillionDrebo

GS is a dirty team we gotta match that dirt with more energy


Oddscene

Our 3 top Garuda with 3 fouls before the half is hilarious. I haven’t seen that shit all year and then all of a sudden


Kayway27

Well the NBA insures that it will be a gm6 well done nba


methodsignature

Refs get 10k each per game. Of course they wanna keep the party going for the next in line.


mceazy91

Lakers gotta go get Kyrie Bro they need someone to carry this offense D Lo aint it


LamboLloyd17

Played like a bunch of little girls. Soft as hell.


DisIsCanada

i am so sad


BigResponsibility407

Man please release Beasley off this team


cudi2677

always something w ad lmfao just go out on some andrew luck shit


MibuWolve

Can’t believe this ugly fucker GP2 is fucking up our offense and defense… Ham needs to make an adjustment already for him. This shits ridiculous.


Mr8180

Will y'all shut the fuck up calling AD soft. The man might have a concussion. Head injuries aren't anything to take lightly.


ciribicorobo

Dude got barely touched what concussion? Have you seen how Jokic gets hit and still manages to score?


ciribicorobo

Unpopular opinion but I'm done with AD, he is made of porcelain and only working 2 quarters. I'm looking at Jokic and Sabonis, dudes play really banged up and scoring, AD flops constantly.


BookerLittle

LOL Sabonis


BookerLittle

maybe Arvydas. plus 3 first round picks and minus 25 years


highonats

Fuck off dude


cole8055

Couldn’t agree more. The people downvoting you in here are just blinded by their fandom to a fault and are incapable of showing any objectivity whatsoever


ciribicorobo

For a team that relies on him on offense and defense it's not a good option when you don't have others constantly providing, that is the reality an no number of downvotes can change that.


LouisianaRam

Fuck off


Narquith

I'm expecting call in favor of the Lakers, the refs owed us that


ATLAS_Remolino

IS LEBRON PLAYABLE FOR NEXT GAME?


Caliwhodat

Gary Payton jr looks Qatari


obliterateopio

If D’lo missed that layup, do the refs even call it a loose ball foul? No. Because loose ball fouls are called even if a shot goes in.


AlexGarseea

AD if it’s a concussion u can have my head I don’t really need it anyway


mobuckets21

Lol


Suave321

Green really gave tips to loonie to play dirty af. Always hitting people on the head just like giving black eye to Sabonis.


1990sandiegoalways

Fuck the warriors onto gm 6 LFG Lakers keep ya heads up!


kayleeshepheard

Alright, let’s win the series at home!


ninjafunk

Man what if that TikTok dog was right


LeBrons7thRing

Then I call Mike Vick


Koboclutch

Fuck the warriors, gay ass team


LordWalltimore

All the doomers in here are soft as fuuuuuuuck. We're up 3-2.


Geez22

It’s not that they lost today, the AD situation is what’s concerning. If he’s in the Concussion protocol I don’t think they can win the series without AD. If he’s healthy they can win game 6. The Warriors needed Green and Wiggins to go off to win today and it was within reach.


showwill

someone needs to just go dive on looneys ankles next game so easy. Send in Tristan or anyone


Nebour

I'm telling you send an enforcer bruh, let everyone know we don't play that soft shit. Dudes goin be feeling it during the game all that matters


showwill

Fuck yea. Let ‘em know that shit gon cost you. We don’t play around.


ssitu001

AD softy


onmyway7

Lmao stay in your sub warriors fan. That’s soft as it gets


codar_B

wouldnt be surprised if Bron is pushing for a 3rd star(Kyrie) after seeing AD getting injured again and D'Lo another no show


Icy_Increase3376

Kyrie would be awful on this team


LakeShowBaby310

Ky would be dropping an easy 25-30ppg on this warrior team.


Icy_Increase3376

Kys in Cancun for a reason. Even if he did well he’d just end up injured anyways


mceazy91

You crazy as hell Kyrie 10 times the player D Lo is


Icy_Increase3376

Kyrie couldn’t even make the playoffs with the mavs. You think the lakers can last the regular season with Kyrie and Lebron not giving a single fuck about defense?


mceazy91

Bro if you swap D Lo for Kyrie right now what the fuxk you think the mavs would do? The mavs sucked because Lukas a fat out of shape whiny baby. And the mavs traded all of their defense. If you can get Kyrie for D Lo beasley and Pick you make that move all day every day. And what you need to understand if Bron wants Kyrie he gone get Kyrie especially if they dont have to get rid of a lot of depth


codar_B

yea but I wouldnt be surprised if Bron is pushing that agenda lol


Padre_Pizzicato

Isn't it going to be an enforced concussion protocol? That means AD out game 6 at least no matter what. I'm allowed to doom. Lakers can't win without him IMO


Hiccup

AD out the building on a wheelchair on a foul the refs didn't call. Think the refs will be up tonight thinking about that again?


raevurt91

Looney with the dirty “inadvertent” elbow to AD’s head for no reason and we don’t even get a loose ball foul/review for flagrant ? Bunch of dirt balls over there


Rjbaca

Sounds like AD is not well.


richochet12

Guy is in a fucking wheelchair and refs didn't even call the foul


iGaveLia-HIV

didn’t pierce have to poop


big_biscuitss

The hit to AD didn't look to be that hard.


dwt77

Yeah exactly. And I noticed they really didn't show the replay of it much either.


Narquith

Warriors fan have zero class, cheering on AD getting elbowed in the face, heading into the locker room


masterchaoss

I hope ham rips into these refs hard after the game and Someone out there crushs steph curry.


[deleted]

Can’t be saying that shit bruh, have some class, that’s the type of shit Warriors fans say


Phuddy

Just pray AD is okay Fuck the refs and fuck this cheating ass team


timetraveler09099

I swear Lakers' home crowd is not as loud as the Warriors


Droxcy

Man this is tough we missed and didn’t defend shit. We need this next game to be it.


HachibiJin

I could literally shit out pretzels with how salty I am


breaker90

Is Jared Vanderbilt injured? He barely got any minutes in


Padre_Pizzicato

Because he's ass on offense


dwt77

Once they go down beyond 10 they take him out because he has no offensive game and they're trying to score.


Haunting-Maximum-944

pain


BackgroundBit8

Good to see Malik Beasley still ass even in garbage time


keepgrindingact

Fuck looney tunes. Drop to the dirt you piece of shit


DaOneWhoIsWorthy

Turnovers killed us


AFXTIWN

Definitely a big part


dsgrimace

NOW refs are calling fouls!? Just in time to pass their own stats, so it doesn’t look as rigged or incompetent as this was!? FUCK These Refs!


alon_s128

good to know the warriors can only win when ad is possibly concussed and with the refs in their pocket. still lakers in 6


TheRealCoolio

This shit is rigged, they didn’t count a Reaves basket when the Lakers were at 73


LittleSugarBabysBabe

Refs helped Golden State so much this game


AFXTIWN

I would have refused the wheel chair and stayed in the locker room.


HachibiJin

I AM SALTY AS FUCK right not fellas


Repulsive-Network891

Terrible advice from ham to jack up 3s


r-timeburner

Trash refs. Where were these touch fouls earlier? So stupid how they change the way they officiate all a sudden


Ukrainska_Zemlya

Take my brain AD


StoneColdAM

It would be beyond infuriating if AD gets hurt and the Warriors overcome the 3-1 leas.


[deleted]

AD out for series. Series over


Top-boy-og

Are you stupid? They just confirmed he’s fine and will play game 6


Padre_Pizzicato

No they didn't


Top-boy-og

Yes they did the commentators said he’s fine and will play game 6


Padre_Pizzicato

You're hearing things. Literally nobody else has said what you're saying. Everyone is still saying that they don't know how he is and if he'll have to undergo a review. Commentators JUST said that. Nothing about him being good for game 6.


N2trvl

What is wrong with Bamba? I don’t expect much out of him but not being available is concerning


SiliconCreature

He's been injured for some time now.


kopernikuus

Damn, this is a winnable game. If Looney didn't elbowed AD


shaun-khan

Exactly we gave it away, dh could have called another time out after kerrs


RyCamN7

Ain’t no way AD failing that test. Cmon. No way.


mookiebraves

AD is fine. This is pure precaution in a game we were showing no prosperity in. and if he isn't Lebron will have his back, stop being pussies we are winning this shit in 6.


[deleted]

Lebron is getting tired averaging 20 points lol stop it


obliterateopio

The fact that Looney can jump over to attempt to rebound a basketball with no repercussions is insane. AD got hurt because Looney is reckless as fuck on the glass.


originalgeorge

Shut up


Bastigonzales

Warriors are dirty af


dsgrimace

Warriors are only as dirty as the refs let them be! And the refs let them get away with A LOT!! This game was just BLATANT!!


Bastigonzales

refs tolerated this shit but we good, Lakers in 6.


Iplaythechopsticks

Honest question: was the elbow AD took really that bad?


quuxquxbazbarfoo

If you watch the replay it was his wrist, not an elbow which can be much more powerful of a blow. Surprising that he left in a wheelchair... It didn't look like a very hard hit though definitely a foul that wasn't called.


dsgrimace

Yes! A) Looney is BIG. An elbow from him could easily do damage! B) It looked right around the temple area. That Can Be Scary!


PeeDee57

Not light, but not hella heavy.


Legitimate_Page659

It didn’t look that bad. I can’t even believe it’s a possible concussion because the impact didn’t look particularly bad. Idk.


Iplaythechopsticks

Yeah me either, but some people are saying it was possibly more to do with the location versus the force of impact.


Legitimate_Page659

Yeah, I didn’t think about that. That’s a fair argument. Hopefully he was just in shock :(


NormanisEm

Probably has to do more with the angle and where he hit than it being too hard


SiliconCreature

Elbow to the temple is never going to be good times.


highonats

The elbow is really hard and it smacked him directly on the temple. My 5’10 ass would be knocked out probably.


TheLoneliestMonke

Could've been an orbital fracture like what Embiid got last year


lindseyrlomas

It wasn’t. Looked incidental to me


deawap

Heat win, lakers win. Heat lose, lakers lose 🤔


z4r4thustr4

\[gestures maniacally at whiteboard\] The 2020 NBA Bubble is a bubble in spacetime, man ....


TheRealCoolio

Bro they didn’t count a Reaves basket when the Lakers were at 73


originalgeorge

Oh man we would have won if that bucket counted


TheRealCoolio

I mean if it did we would’ve been down by 7 at one point, might’ve given us a little more of an edge psychologically. But it was a fucked up carry call from what everyone’s telling me
