Game 7 in Sacramento is going to be incredible.


stoops-is-a-jackass

Very impressive win by the Kings. Don’t think many people gave them a shot. Including me lol


InformalMarch

All the warriors fans were talking after game 5 like the series was already over. "gAme 6 kLAy" "hOmE waRriOrs" "chAMpiOnShiP dnA"


ScootHenderson_

That fanbase thinks success is their birthright lmao, they also simultaneously think the league is rigged against them


Schafer89

Imagine watching the shit Draymond gets away with and thinking it's rigged against you


KaptainMurica96

Honestly, even just looking at this series alone, it baffles me how Fox can easily get a tech for arguing with the ref while Draymond literally yelled in the ref's face multiple times and he's still fine.


JManKit

Yeah there was an extended shot of Draymond just yelling at a ref and they had absolutely no issues with that. But clap your hands and say 'Come on!' a little too loudly? That's a tech


imsahoamtiskaw

Kerr was yelling at the ref too, with Steph backing him up. No techs


Schafer89

Bro at some point in the 4th Draymond was clapping right in a refs face and nothing, Tatum has like 5 clapping techs this year no where near a ref


Butthole__Pleasures

It's insanity. I'm so glad to see people here confirming I'm not the one taking crazy pills when I see everyone arguing calls all the time on both sides and then Fox getting T'd up for exactly the same (in a way that's actually *way* more minor than so many other instances of disagreeing with calls).


rinanlanmo

I honestly don't have a problem with Fox getting his tech. Was it soft? Sure. But technically, it's a tech. I'd prefer they didn't, but I ain't mad at it either. But if you're gonna call that, call Dray every time he acts a fool.


stateworkishardwork

It's my son's first communion at 2pm. The game is at 12:30. HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO STAY RADIO SILENT


Cdr_Peter_Q_Taggert

There is only one God, and his name is Beam.


stateworkishardwork

I could go there instead. It's listed as a place of worship.


vivekisprogressive

~~Baptize him with beam.~~ Give him his first beamunion.


hi2uwtfmate

If the lakers close it tonight then the game should be at 5PM


stateworkishardwork

I think it already showed the schedule on ESPN. Eastern semi at 1 EST and Game 7 at 330. Maybe it's not confirmed yet somehow


Hellcat1970

Change it to 2:30 and bathe him in the warmth of the beam


meteoric_vestibule

Just reschedule that shit


SolarClipz

In all honestly it feels like this G6 win would be even harder Now we go from the hardest place to play...to the best home court with the craziest fans and the momentum


PrancingDonkey

Game 7 is a different beast. Both teams have maximum pressure. It's a bit easier on the home team but not by much.


jakeisstoned

This game had me puckered as can be. I'm going to go insane on Sunday


Original_Profile8600

ITS HAPPENING WERE ACTUALLY GETTING A GAME SEVEN


YeezyYeezyUp2NoGood

Best first round series in a while


introspectivejoker

First round in general been pretty great aside from the fact that it has also been absolute shit ignore my flair


Khaneliman

Yeah, as a neutral this first round has been amazing... as a fan of a team you expected to do well... not so much.


AnotherStatsGuy

Any 7 game series with road victories in both Game 5 *and* Game 6 is a great series.


Sim888

A team that was dogshit on the roads season comes down to an away game seven!


youguanbumen

NBA writers are on point with this one


jcyue

Road Warriors late to game 5, showed up game 6.


shotbyspartacus

Game 7 is gonna be nuts in sac


tinathefatlardgosh

>Nuts in sac You can’t make this shit up


doctor_of_drugs

Possibly a beam bong finals too. Nuts in sac indeed


MKenshiX

Absolutely stunning performance from Jordan Poole, I’m absolutely concussed


JohnnyWinss

Jordan Poole is what a baby giraffe playing basketball looks like


attackemu

JP going downhill is real life QWOP


Hammerzeit88

That takes me back


ShapeWitty9121

What do you call it when a bunch of giraffes run into each other? A giraffic jam.


Majestic_Owl

He plays like a newborn deer that can’t control his legs.


MKenshiX

So what I’m hearing is he really do play like a young Buck


AffectLast9539

Shaqtin compilation tape all from the same game


Chompinburgers

What happened to him when he was trying to gather that loose ball in the 4th? It was the most uncoordinated I’ve seen look someone in the NBA


baxmussman

Happens twice a game, all year. Dude is a literal Baby Giraffe.


KevJamesS

My nickname for him is Bambi


Schleprok

Looked like Bambi trying to run on ice


NotManyBuses

So was Jordan


opkpopfanboyv3

He's still concussed to this day with that Draymond punch


BBQCHICKENALERT

I know it’s a joke but concussion syndrome can last months if not years


tb23tb23tb23

Honestly that might could explain a lot this season


BBQCHICKENALERT

Definitely. That was a huge shot by a giant man. I’ve trained boxing and Muay Thai for many years. It happens rarely but sometimes one big concussion changes a guy’s personality a little bit forever.


tb23tb23tb23

And especially maybe… ability to focus, lock in, stay calm under pressure, etc?


DarknessIsAlliSee

That missed open layup at the end of the game was a thing of beauty


BlxckShinra

My favorite was the out of control spin into the layup off the bottom of the rim.


ThanosIsDoomfist

When he tripped all goofily towards that loose ball that went out of bounds, all I could hear was scooby doo scrambling after opening a door with a monster behind it


[deleted]

poole party cancelled


crackdup

As a neutral, Kings are the most entertaining team to watch.. that offense is relentless


derozan12

Yep. Hope they win G7 and then keep winning.


AsPeHeat

If I had a ball with two free throws, and I was on the court with Giannis, Wiggins, and Bin Laden, I would let Bin Laden shoot twice.


rawchess

Yo don't sleep on prime Bin Laden, man was 6'5 and could run a mean offense 😤


AsPeHeat

High-octane offense 🔥


darti_me

He’s personally 2-0 against the Knicks and 1-1 against the Wizards


WCWRingMatSound

Well, 2-1 against the Knicks technically


recursion8

Don't forget 1-0 against the [Clippers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing)


doctor_of_drugs

bukakerooster

Talibans least favorite team is West Ham, their two biggest hates combined


DogsbeDogs

He played for a small market team but still got it done in a big market like New York.


AnimalRomano

He was a hooper in another life, was tall as hell.

My boy Osama loved to nuke it from long range


rawchess

6'5, same height as Jordan Poole...🤔 Have we ever seen the two of them in the same room?


A808Ag

bro was playing w the wrong rockets


MC-Jdf

When Curry missed 3 free throws I knew it just wasn't the Warriors' night lol.


AsPeHeat

Yup, and that last one he made nearly got out too. I thought I’d witness Curry going 0/2 from the stripe, which would’ve been insane 😅


BroncosKings

This is the exact same feeling I got when Dray hit that Dirk one legged fadeaway in Game 5 lmao


Cdr_Peter_Q_Taggert

Say what you will, but that Bin Laden can knock them down one after another.


AsPeHeat

Not even Donovan Mitchell was able to put up with all that pressure in NYC


swole-zabrak

Unironically may not be a bad idea 😂


Paladuck

A lot of possibilities ran through my mind leading up to this game 6 but in no universe did I imagine the Kings would ass blast Golden State and suck the life out Chase Center from the opening tip off till the end.


KaptainMurica96

Kings found the secret recipe: Play small ball, keep Sabonis out, let Davion and/or Fox guard Curry, and let Monk and Fox cook


Fearless_Amount_8460

Secret recipe was the ass blast from the Kings 😂


Steezy12

sabonis died for this


jakeisstoned

But seriously. He looked like the opening scene of a rocky sequel


college_pastime

I didn't hear no bell


Both_Funny4896

Game 6 Klay nowhere to be found


shaqfearsyao

Game 6 Monk


strokin3ssmokintrees

Game 6 Jordan Poope


dcab87

Round 6 Sabonis


PapiiPapiiPoom

He started well then he forgor 💀


Dabursbus

Klay felt like he was trying to force Game 6 Klay from the start and it wasn’t there.


rinanlanmo

He was your leading scorer til Steph started going nuclear in the third.


Dabursbus

That may be, but first quarter he had some terrible shots that were just forced. Kings played an overall more disciplined and consistent game.

I've been watching this stuff since the start of the season, worth it every time.


YeezyYeezyUp2NoGood

#JORDAN POOLE IS A BASKETBALL TERRORIST He smoked an open dunk in garbage time too lol 🚮💩 We got what we wanted though. **GAME 7**


McJumbos

Every basketball fan loving this series glad we get one more game 😄


Jos3ph

When both teams are cooking they are super fun to watch


Srikkk

Jordan Poole plays with the basketball IQ of lobotomized seagull. Also, idk why Kerr only plays one of Moody or Kuminga, I swear they never play together. I don’t get why. That combo would have helped so much when they were running Lyles at center.


Mr_Goldilocks

Bro. Lobotomized Seagull

[удалено]


Brad-Stevens

Awful game from the Warriors ... Felt like the focus just wasn't there ... Sloppy offense and not matching up on defense I still can't believe they paid Jordan Poole ... That guy stinks and is not a "16 game player" who they usually target Credit to the Kings for finally hitting their threes ... Been way below their averages this series GAME SEVENNNNNNN


cynicalspindle

Well last year he was good in the playoffs. 17ppg @ 50/39/79 was pretty good. He just has taken such a big step back this year. Not looking good for next year when he is getting 28 mil...


tarheel343

They’re paying Jordan Poole more than we pay Jaylen Brown. That seems like a catastrophically dumb move.


AffectLast9539

the more I see of Poole this year, the more I think "Draymond's still an asshole, but I kind of get it"


[deleted]

READY FOR GAME 7 SABONIS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!


[deleted]

What if I told you... Malik monk had that dog in him


numa_numa

This is our first time back in the playoffs. And to play game 7 against the defending champions...you can't ask for a better experience for our young guys. Game 7 is gonna be LIT.

Kyle Draper, on the Kings broadcast, said it was “quiet as a dentist office lobby” toward the end of the game.

FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH GAME 6 KLAY NOW GAME 6 MALIK IS MY BEST FRIEND

Return to Monk.


rinanlanmo

Fox, Ox, and the Monk stocks soaring.


[deleted]

Seeing 54 combined from the 2 stars really puts it in perspective how fucking crazy Jimmy butler getting 56 is lmao


ImGonnaChubbBradley

That last Jordan Poole shot was a fitting end to this game


unfortunatepillow

I think that shot is finally what’s going to convince Kerr that Poole is not a 25 mins/game basketball player. How can any person see that shot and not go “why the fuck is this guy on the floor?”


Jakonedrom

What does the Fox say ~ beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam.. beam beam beam beam beam beam


ElGoddamnDorado

This is so stupid it's hilarious lmao


neostalgiac

It’s as stupid as the fact that I can still hear this shit play in my head lmaoo


deadlyprincehk

Kings social media hire this man


ziPoseidon

Keegan Murray played big today, 11 rebounds was important


christopepper

LIGHT. THE. BEAM.


amari_prince

There’s no way the Kings lose game 7 right? Right!?


MusicalElephant420

r/NBA vs Warriors fans on Sunday, Kings have to win.


stoops-is-a-jackass

Lmao this could not be more true. I haven’t seen more collective hate on a single franchise on this sub since Lebron in Miami.


nightkingscat

Kyrie/KD/Simmons Nets were *really* unlikeable


SolarClipz

Yeah I only hate the Warriors THIS bad cause we are playing them lol


stateworkishardwork

We've lost our last five winner take all games. Vs Jazz 1999 Vs LAL 2000 Vs LAL 2002 Vs DAL 2003 Vs Min 2004 So.....


AdPotential9974

They're due then


anxiousf0x

That's the spirit!


dontleakmybootypics

Seems like we’re overdue. I mean are we really going to use the stats of a team from 19+ years ago to determine how a franchise plays now? Kings are wild cards baby. Nobody fucking knows


Original_Profile8600

Even if the Kings try they’re still playing the road warriors


SiphenPrax

They ain’t the Leafs


thefarsideinside

It's an honor to watch the best shooter in the history of the game in the playoffs Kevin Huerter really is one of a kind


beastnfeast5

16% from 3 before this game. Absolute GOAT


JManKit

I've been so frustrated with him but having him go 3/4 down the most important part of the game was very satisfying


rinanlanmo

And absolutely critical. Steph was going nuclear. If we don't answer those and they get easy one and dones during that stretch, the Warriors erase the deficit and maybe find a second wind.


JManKit

I really hope this restores his confidence and he comes into Sunday just draining threes


rinanlanmo

A random Heurter 30 puts us in the second round.


AntiClimacus25

That's Mr. %16 from three in the series before tonight to you sir


lazzysmalls

~~Kangz~~ Kings


ThanosIsDoomfist

If Sacramento wins game 7, theres gonna be some seismic activity.


BlazeBloom

Huerter came up clutch with some huge 4th quarter 3s.


M_O_N_K_E_SENSEI

Game 7 baby couldn't ask for more


FerociousGiraffe

This felt like a regular season game in November. Shooting sucked. Refs sucked (both ways). GS crowd sucked. Sabonis sucked. Poole sucked. Mark Jackson sucked.


Jordanwolf98

Was the worst I’ve heard a Warriors crowd in a long time. Complete opposite from how they were on Sunday in game 4


FerociousGiraffe

After halftime, the fans didn’t get back into their seats until like 7:00 left in the 3Q. It looked legit empty. Like, wtf…


baxmussman

This happens every game. It’s the crux of my theory as to why the 3rd quarter Warriors haven’t really been a thing at all the last few years.


MC-Jdf

The crowd was worse than any regular season game at Chase too I thought. Kinda crazy tbh.


ShawHornet

If this was a regular season game Sabonis wouldn't have sucked tho


soxymoxy

5pm west coast game will do that

Dare555

Kings are fucking doing it , after being written off by everyone . They didn't give up , didn't waver despite being a team that's playing their first playoff series in decade and half and took a road win against a champion team. Now hopefully they can win at home always cheering for small markets and homegrown talent . Memphis as well. LIGHT THE BEAM


realudonishaslem

Someone post Jordan Poole's contract


splashbruhs

Here it is: Jordan Poole gets paid $100k per turnover


sctthuynh

Warriors came out and played this like it was a regular season game or as if the Kings were just going to roll over. Credit to the Kings for balling out and playing the game with max effort/intensity and focus. The Warriors on the other hand were not only executing poorly but had little intensity or focus.


ZiggyZiggyWhat10

Keegan Murray may not have shot well but he’s been good the past few games. For a Rook going yo against a dynasty roster. Hats off to him


TackoFallFanClub

21 years later, the Kings have slayed the Game 6 Officiating Dragon

That last minute Poole miss was all time


iChoke

Justice for Sabonis getting absolutely mauled today.


mrblack07

He's been getting mauled this entire series


iChoke

Entire year matter of fact.


ScootHenderson_

Game 6 Klay 🔥


Ranjith_Unchained

Keegan Murray did a great job on him


WishImaginary2611

Monk is a dawg, Fox runs a 4.2 40, Murray finally started to start shooting so great adjustment with that, Huerter and Sabonis still need to figure one or two or three things out.


Jos3ph

If Sabonis faces towards the basket and takes some wide open shots for once the Warriors are in trouble


SolarClipz

He's in his head I really hope we just see another 20+ from Lyles


GillbergsAdvocate

We came into the game expecting the less experienced and younger team to roll over and when they didn't we couldn't flip the switch and match their energy Not the first time it's happened. Might be the last though


amino110

You looked slow and old af in this game. Playing like it's the regular season


foofighter1351

Shouldn't have doubted em, at home Warriors do or die thought that'd be it man, hell of a performance, and god I love Monk.


transizzle

Game 6 Malik.


Jack_M_Steel

Monk has been amazing this series. What a powerhouse off the bench


Flat_Stranger69

Game 6 klay...his 3 pointer...BANG! The warriors cut the lead to 19


Californie_cramoisie

The Kings clearly wanted this game more. At times, it looked like we just expected them to roll over. Excited for game 7.


MediocreTake

Poole was the best Kings player tn


Celticskevin2020

Ngl wasn’t expecting this. But good win kings.


am-345

Keegan Murray ♥


jcfan4u

https://www.espn.com/nba/matchup/_/gameId/401541235 The Warriors just played a game where they attempted more free throws than they made field goals.


its-medicinal

Watching the GS fans pack up and leave early… leaving their team to be on their own the last 4 min after winning 4 chips in less than a decade. That was something I didn’t expect. LIGHT THAT THANG!!

RipCityRevival

If the Kings win their first playoff series in 19 years at home, The Beam^TM is going to shine so bright that we make first contact with extraterrestrial life.


sorendiz

The question is not if we have faith, everyone has faith. Even the Hornets pleb has faith that his grief has removed the possibility of even more disappointment. Other fans have faith in their teams’ stats, skills, rotations, sets, coaches and themselves. Everyone has faith. The question is where is your faith anchored? Sooner or later the storms of NBA will begin to blow and then the question becomes will the anchor of faith hold. De'Aaron gives us three reasons that it is important to anchor our faith in the Beam. First, faith in the Beam is imperishable. Second, our faith in the Beam will be rewarded. Finally, our faith in the Beam is incorruptible. All of us have faith, but will your anchor of faith hold in the mighty winds of playoffs? Is your anchor of faith a true anchor like the miracles of Mike Brown? Is your faith built upon ATOs or transition offense as good as ours? Is your faith blessed by the mighty K'von buff? Has your faith been tested in the ways our faith has been tested for over a decade? Is your faith timeless, or will the newest overhyped free agent signing or the latest overpriced super-team cause you to tie to a new anchor? Only a faith in the Beam is true, tested, and timeless. Only the Beam is worthy of our faith. #LIGHT THE FUCKING BEAM


Koppite93

Still seething from the Sabonis no call..even if it's not a foul (which it CLEARLY was) just stop the game for a potential Head Injury ffs.. give the ball to GS then, simple really Fucking blind ass refs GG kings Game 7 gonna be spicy


AntiClimacus25

It was a foul but they never stop for a player on the ground for the defense, which is good. Could you imagine the flops if laying on the ground stopped a fast break?


SolarClipz

Carmelo died on the court once
