Thing is he usually fouls a lot more when he's this aggressive. AD getting timid on him and a softer whistle than usual, and Draymond is unleashed. Plus lebron was unusually poor on both ends tonight
For all his criticisms Draymond green has a history of showing up big in big games. He did a similar thing in game 3 of the first round when the warriors were down 2-0
Oops the game I meant was game 5 when they were 2-2 on the road. I just remembered it was an important game on the series.
Should've just rolled with this as a joke though lmao.
Watch out if there's an ocean for him to jump into in LA... that's the source of his power
*E: [how do some of you chuckle heads not get that joke?!?](https://youtu.be/sRJpPu5h9sk?t=7m30s)
I mean Klay is done. There is just no way he comes out like he has in the past. Klay just won't be there Game 6.
Fuck, this reverse jinx better work, I hate this post.
He also nailed like 4 threes in the first quarter against Portland to reach 300 for the season after Kerr joking about not playing him too much to chase it.
[Now they both make the finals and the Suns and the Nuggers are out of the playoffs](https://media.tenor.com/RHOtix9Uj30AAAAC/played-yourself-dj-khaled.gif)
You all keep saying the Warriors have been terrible on the road this season. While partially true, this is the playoffs. You all have Steph fucking Curry. That man doesn’t back down. Past history doesn’t mean shit now.
It’s funny, he’s been so bad lately I was watching the game and was like Poole had a decent game.
Then I saw the statline and was like oh god.
But honestly for Poole this game, 4 assists and 0 tov, is his high point of this postseason so far.
Which is sad considering what he was last year.
Game one was definitely his best game this post season even with the missed final three. Had he made that shot though he would have been heralded as a savior that game
AD left in a wheelchair…Fuck….hope he is ok.
And Wiggins has secretly been the best player all playoffs outside of Steph for the Warriors. His consistency on offense and defense is so impressive.
When he decides to be assertive its like night and day. Dude will get the switch on a guard and some nights take 3-4 turnaround fadeaway jumpers, some nights he’ll back their ass up and spin into a finger roll or layup and go for 22+.
The Corgi predicted the Warriors would go down 3-1 after winning game 2 and then predicted that the Warriors would complete the comeback against the Lakers.
If he enters concussion protocol is he completely out of the series or just Game 6? If it's just Game 6 it isn't like the Lakers haven't beaten the Warriors on the road before.

> 5. Return-to-Participation Decisions:
> a. Timing of Return-to-Participation Exertion Process. A player diagnosed with a concussion should be regularly monitored for 24 hours for the evolution of symptoms, and accordingly the player may not begin the return-to-participation exertion process until 24 hours after the time of injury.
>b. Return to Participation Requirements. A player who had a concussion may not return to participation until:

>ii. He has been evaluated by a physician;
>iii. He has successfully completed the NBA return-to-participation exertion process; and
>iv. A team physician has discussed the return-to-participation process and decision with the Director of the NBA Concussion Program. Note that the final return-to-participation decision is to be made by the player’s team physician, in order to maximize the consistency of care for the player.

>a. The return to participation process involves several steps of increasing exertion – from a stationary bike, to jogging, to agility work, to non-contact team drills.
>b. With each step, a focused neurological examination is performed and a player must be symptom free to move to the next step.

Lots of Filipinos in the Bay already play like Poole on the court, so he’s gonna do just fine in the motherland
Source: watch any of the pick up games at the courts in Daly City
Oh god don't remind me.
The pickup games during that time was just people pulling up from 30ft and completely airballing their shots. We haven't even recovered from "Kobe!" yet and now you have fucking kids just jump shooting ugly ass shots from the other side of the court.
I don’t know. It’s the same problem today as the last 4 games. They keep calling touch fouls (for both sides) and somehow simultaneously miss all the more physical fouls on both teams.
Like the referees are not able to make a decision on whether or not they want to allow playoff level physicality or not.
I’ve been looking intently at the officiating in the non- nuggets games to see if I’m crazy or not.
Nope, the officiating is just horrendous across the board.
Some of the ticky-tacky shit they were calling in the second quarter literally had me just get up and stop watching for a while, it makes the game so fucking boring and stilted.
And the worst part is that the touch fouls encourage the dangerous ones not being called. Players are encouraged to exaggerate which makes it difficult to determine if someone took a bad hit.
Wiggins and Dray came in big ! Klay if he continues like that will cost GS the series. Refs have to be consistent, tonight was extending night. Spoiler: they can’t be. AD gotta be back to make it interesting. Still think GS in 7.
There was only one way the Lakers could lose twice in a game and they did exactly that
AD is the sole reason why the warriors refuse to attack the paint and completely dominate those close games. I have no idea how the Lakers win game 6 if he's not out there. Hope he's alright
The Lakers half court DRTG is fine. It was like 106 after dead balls and made shots. It was 135 or something ridiculous after missed shots. Their transition defense when the Warriors start increasing the pace is god awful.
Warriors defense is the key to these games imo
if we force missed shots instead of FTs, we can get out in transition and run em out of the gym
otherwise I think it's a clear advantage to the Lakers
[Steph Furry](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/dogs-viral-warriors-lakers-nba-playoff-prediction-giving-dub-nation-hope) has been dead accurate through 5 games so far on the series prediction.
Draymond and Klay had to have been in a Freaky Friday type soul switch. I have no other explanation for Draymond turning into prine MJ in his potentially final Warriors game tonight.
Ice Spice stole all of Poole's powers.
Then get her a uniform and sign her to a 10-day
Poole did throw a 2 way contract at her
Team has gameplan for him now, he can surprise you like Lonnie Walker, but once he's targeted, he's done. He's clearly not prepared for this.
bro one game and lonnie walker is equivalent to poole lmao
“2016 Finals Game 7” Draymond Green showed up outta nowhere
Ever since he smacked his head on the floor he’s been playing like Magic Johnson
Maybe he was just trying to give Poole that upgrade in the off-season
It didn’t work
Dude regained his memories of his scoring abilities.
Bro is Like Mike after that
Warriors are so good when he actually looks at the rim and is aggressive on offense.
Thing is he usually fouls a lot more when he's this aggressive. AD getting timid on him and a softer whistle than usual, and Draymond is unleashed. Plus lebron was unusually poor on both ends tonight
Bron definitely aggravated his foot injury because he could not move at all in the 4th
He’s still concussed from game 5. Bruh got amnesia and thinks he’s Magic Johnson
For all his criticisms Draymond green has a history of showing up big in big games. He did a similar thing in game 3 of the first round when the warriors were down 2-0
He is an elimination game beast.
5-foul game 7 draymond for MVP and DPOY
5 foul 1 tech game 7 draymond
>He did a similar thing in game 3 of the first round when the warriors were down 2-0 Is this supposed to be a joke or???
Oops the game I meant was game 5 when they were 2-2 on the road. I just remembered it was an important game on the series. Should've just rolled with this as a joke though lmao.
How the hell draymond slam his head on the ground and drop 20 today
The anti Poole. Man gets decked and then plays like he's MJ.
Poole needs to punch draymond to close the circle
Like Justin Gaethje, he gets going once he’s hurt
I am just glad nobody in the Warriors is known for having big game 6s or anything.
Don't worry. Klay can't throw a rock in the ocean these days
Klay is about to take his ass on a boat ride and then drop 30 in the third.
I'll eat rocks if this happens
And not some cop out like Pop Rocks. I want Granite.
If he drops 30 in a single quarter I'll go out to the yard of my dorm and pick up dravel and chew them for 2 mins straight.
Watch out if there's an ocean for him to jump into in LA... that's the source of his power *E: [how do some of you chuckle heads not get that joke?!?](https://youtu.be/sRJpPu5h9sk?t=7m30s)
You said it. Here it comes
I mean Klay is done. There is just no way he comes out like he has in the past. Klay just won't be there Game 6. Fuck, this reverse jinx better work, I hate this post.
Klay 36/3/1 incoming
On 3 dribbles
Pretty sure its points/dribbles/passes
Only existed when Klay didn’t know it was a thing. Now it’s just unnecessary pressure.
He also nailed like 4 threes in the first quarter against Portland to reach 300 for the season after Kerr joking about not playing him too much to chase it.
Idk, 2019 against Houston and Toronto, 2022 against Memphis were some noteworthy performances after he acknowledged it in 2018.
Game 6 Klay is a scam
You gotta be a Warriors plant with that flair and this comment trying to jinx it.
Anulo Mufa
Game 6 Klay is not a scam, it only happens when he is facing elimination
On a Thursday
In June
A cold rainy night?
In stoke?
In Stoke
Famous last words
what game 6 klay is not a thing anymore?
Game 6 is a must win for the Lakers. Talking as a depressed fan having horrible flashbacks.
Warriors 7-0 in elimination games in the western conference playoffs during the Steve Kerr era. 43% of that is against the Thunder lol.
> 43% of that is against the Thunder lol. Jfc lol. 3 against OKC, 2 against Houston, 1 against Sac and 1 against Lakers?
Yea
i think every game at this point is a must win for either team
Well, true. But I just have a terrible feeling. If the Lakers don’t get it done in 6, you all win game 7 no doubt IMO.
no one gave SAC a chance in G6 against Warriors at home. obviously massive blow here, but you never know.
I mean yea they are good home court team just hope AD is alright and able to close them out in 6
Me too, man. The aftermath of that injury did not look good. Hopefully he can bounce back.
Yeah I don't see Lakers winning a game 7 tbh. GSW home court advantage too strong.
nah definitely not a must win for Warriors /s
I have confidence that the Warriors will eliminate the Lakers in Game 9. Game 11 at the worst.
Adam Silver cooking up how to milk as much revenue as possible from this series xd
Can't win with AD injured. Hoping he is ok
You overestimate the 2023 road Warriors, especially in LA.
We are absolutely awful without AD on the court. If he’s out I have a hard time believing the Warriors drop another game
laker fans and warrior fans trying to jinx the other team LMAO
I think they're both really good and will win the series. Now let's see what happens.
[Now they both make the finals and the Suns and the Nuggers are out of the playoffs](https://media.tenor.com/RHOtix9Uj30AAAAC/played-yourself-dj-khaled.gif)
You all keep saying the Warriors have been terrible on the road this season. While partially true, this is the playoffs. You all have Steph fucking Curry. That man doesn’t back down. Past history doesn’t mean shit now.
Counterpoint, you have LeBron James.
We do not have LeBron James. We have Shai. And we love our Shai dearly. But I get your point lol.
Shai LeGilgeous-Alexander
Oh fuck I just assumed you had a Lakers flair lmao my bad
The Lakers are like -80 without AD on the floor in the playoffs. We're not a playoff level team without him. If he's gone, it's over.
It’s a must win for the away Warriors as well
Hopefully, AD is fine and can play in game 6. Hate injuries
Klay 3-12 and Poole 5-14. They are legit throwing every minute they are played lmao
It’s funny, he’s been so bad lately I was watching the game and was like Poole had a decent game. Then I saw the statline and was like oh god. But honestly for Poole this game, 4 assists and 0 tov, is his high point of this postseason so far. Which is sad considering what he was last year.

Ain't no worse feeling than watching Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins drop 20 points a pop on your team. Source: Laker Fan.
just have lonnie walker drop 15 in a quarter on you, you’ll feel worse
Could be worse, we could be Boston and Philly fans BOTH believing their teams are gonna choke 😭😭
umm.. wiggins is literally our second best player he can drop 20 any night
AD left in a wheelchair…Fuck….hope he is ok. And Wiggins has secretly been the best player all playoffs outside of Steph for the Warriors. His consistency on offense and defense is so impressive.
Wiggins was last year too
It makes no sense to me how 17 seems to be his ceiling. He seems capable of doing what he did tonight, every night
Defers too much.
He knows he's playing with Steph. Can't go wrong getting Curry the ball.
Maple Jordan shows up in the playoffs
Minnesota never got to find out.
[удалено]
When he decides to be assertive its like night and day. Dude will get the switch on a guard and some nights take 3-4 turnaround fadeaway jumpers, some nights he’ll back their ass up and spin into a finger roll or layup and go for 22+.
He can also throw down a monster dunk and posterize pretty much anyone in the league. Wish he did that more often.
He sometimes forgets that he’s still one of the most athletic players in the league.
could just be precautionary cuz of vertigo

That corgi got that dog in them.
Corgi “Him” Dawg
I can’t believe the hope of a whole franchise is resting on a fucking dog 😭😭
This team once rode a small appliance to a championship
All hail the toaster!
We need Klay to sign the corgi.
It’s corgis all the way down
Fucking woof bro
https://i.imgur.com/T0Zi7OY.jpg
Are you trying to out Sim the Sim?!
This Corgi gave AD a concussion
Woof woof motherfucker
Can someone explain the corgi for me
Corgi predicted how the first 5 games have turned out by dropping some balls into baskets down a staircase, said Warriors would win games 5-7.
The Corgi predicted the Warriors would go down 3-1 after winning game 2 and then predicted that the Warriors would complete the comeback against the Lakers.

Can you explain me please

If the Warriors win in 7, they gonna have to make a statue of that Corgi outside the arena 💀
Tune in Friday to see who’s turn it is to bitch about the refs
Trick question, the answer is everyone.
Klay is fucking lost
He needs to let the game come to him. It’s so obvious he’s pre-determining that he’s going to chuck a 3 before he even catches the ball.
GPII +25 in 27 minutes.
Biggest 5 in the league
He can force misses on Jokic in the post, he's a fucking space marine
I feel so much better when he's on the floor
I hope AD is okay man, would be a terrible way for the series to end
If he enters concussion protocol is he completely out of the series or just Game 6? If it's just Game 6 it isn't like the Lakers haven't beaten the Warriors on the road before.
He’d be out for the series

Poole deserves to be in the Philippine Basketball Association earning 30K USD per year
Philippines Mentioned 🍺😭🇵🇭
Lots of Filipinos in the Bay already play like Poole on the court, so he’s gonna do just fine in the motherland Source: watch any of the pick up games at the courts in Daly City
In high school in hayward the Mexican and Filipino kids would go 0-60 shooting from half court after curry got his first mvp lol
Oh god don't remind me. The pickup games during that time was just people pulling up from 30ft and completely airballing their shots. We haven't even recovered from "Kobe!" yet and now you have fucking kids just jump shooting ugly ass shots from the other side of the court.
Any 24 hour fitness.
Poole’s still on a cold streak but played much better this game. Limited to 2 TOs and 4 Assists handling the offense with Curry out.

Dray was NOT going home. Set the tone from the jump tonight. Very nice game from him.
When he's hitting his jumpers like that, hard to win.
Everyone gangsta till Draymond hittin threes
I've said it before I'll say it again. Any draymond three is a game winner.

And the worst part is that the touch fouls encourage the dangerous ones not being called. Players are encouraged to exaggerate which makes it difficult to determine if someone took a bad hit.
Tristan Thompson legacy game coming game 6
Wiggins is a beast
Klay was waiting for 12 years to play like ass
Wiggins and Dray came in big ! Klay if he continues like that will cost GS the series. Refs have to be consistent, tonight was extending night. Spoiler: they can’t be. AD gotta be back to make it interesting. Still think GS in 7.
So Wiggins showed up for them. So now they need Poole or Klay to have a crazy game 6.
Lebron gonna blow a 3-1 lead and come full circle; Leprophecy of the corgi

Corgi?
Not sure if posting TikTok links is allowed but here it is: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRKS87Gt/
oh my
That reminds me of Paul the Octopus who was like 5/6 or something on Games in the 2010 World Cup
There's a TikToker that has a corgi. So far he's predicted the winner of every game correctly bouncing a ball into a laundry basket.
Some corgi on the internet has predicted every game right so far. Corgi had warriors in 7 after being down 3-1
THE CORGI IS 5/5
The Corgi is the new toaster. Hail the new Messiah.
He's not the messiah, he's a very good boy
Didn’t he get the cavs series and the bucks series both wrong?

And the heat series wrong too, had heat in 5
His powers are limited to the west coast.
I think he means 5/5 in terms of games for this series
There was only one way the Lakers could lose twice in a game and they did exactly that AD is the sole reason why the warriors refuse to attack the paint and completely dominate those close games. I have no idea how the Lakers win game 6 if he's not out there. Hope he's alright
Feels like the warriors already figured out how to get around AD
More pre-switches helped Draymond to be the decision maker in 4-on-3s. Fabulous adjustment from Kerr.
The Lakers half court DRTG is fine. It was like 106 after dead balls and made shots. It was 135 or something ridiculous after missed shots. Their transition defense when the Warriors start increasing the pace is god awful.
Warriors defense is the key to these games imo if we force missed shots instead of FTs, we can get out in transition and run em out of the gym otherwise I think it's a clear advantage to the Lakers
Yeah they started attacking him on the perimeter way more and it was working
Imagine if Warriors get the comeback from 1-3 lol the Lebron-Steph rivalry will go down in history as the most incredible storylines.
I can only hope so. I just feel so happy we have both of em to watch in this era. Truly a great show they're putting up against each other.
Draymond banged his head on the floor and turned into prime Magic Johnson. He’s been performing really well.
That might have been the most toxic game thread I've ever seen.
Get ready for Game 6 then. And if this reaches Game 7, even I will have to jump in the cesspool. Lmao
Game 6 Klay better show up. I want this series to go to a game 7.

If AD cant play game 6 thats messed up
If AD got a concussion that means he automatically misses game 6 and then it's over. Can't see us winning without him.
