[Post Game Thread] The Los Angeles Lakers (4-2) advance to the Western Conference Finals as they defeat the Golden State Warriors (2-4) in game 6 by 122 - 101. LeBron James with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists

OverusedRedditJoke · 2023-05-13T04:45:43+00:00

Klay shot 34% in the series (34/99), including 25%(!) (14/56) in the last 4 games. Just crippling momentum killers

Jayson1222 · 2023-05-13T04:45:49+00:00

8 points on 19 shots is legitimately insane

DjLionOrder · 2023-05-13T04:45:39+00:00

AD with the most dominant 9 FGA game I’ve ever seen.

SterlingMallory · 2023-05-13T04:45:49+00:00

I'm starting to think that corgi doesn't know a damn thing about basketball

Jayson1222 · 2023-05-13T04:45:37+00:00

It is time to give up on Game 6 Klay

slysonic7 · 2023-05-13T04:45:38+00:00

LeBron was absolutely incredible tonight. It ends looking like a blowout but there were so many times where it was around 11-14 points and Warriors looked to have a bit of momentum. He basically always followed that up by driving aggressively or setting up a shooter. Vintage performance

iRockaflame · 2023-05-13T04:45:37+00:00

How tf you start 2-10 and end up in the Conference Finals what the fuck lmfao

ViperishTuba86 · 2023-05-13T04:45:43+00:00

That Corgi trick y’all man

blaisec00 · 2023-05-13T04:45:54+00:00

All 5 Pacific Division teams made the playoffs. The Lakers, the lowest seed, will have gone the farthest

SiphenPrax · 2023-05-13T04:45:37+00:00

RIP Knicks fans’ and Warriors fans’ dreams of coming back from 3-1 down

aznmango8 · 2023-05-13T04:51:49+00:00

Warriors lack of players not named Steph curry really showed this game

Emergency-Double-875 · 2023-05-13T04:45:58+00:00

Why didn’t the Warriors just score? Are they stupid?

RabbitWolfie · 2023-05-13T04:45:36+00:00

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t believe that corgi had it all figured out & caused me sleepless nights

homefree122 · 2023-05-13T04:45:39+00:00

LeBron has now won 16 straight closeout games at home in the playoffs.

He is also 76-0 when his team is leading by 10+ entering the 4th quarter.

LeCloser

megamannequin · 2023-05-13T04:57:34+00:00

Jordan Poole couldn't score on the Lakers even in garbage time.

Nonducorduco2005 · 2023-05-13T04:48:56+00:00

Austin Reaves stole Klay's game 6 powers

chrisumafp · 2023-05-13T04:48:27+00:00

Klay Thompson with the worst performance of all time in an elimination game

Number333 · 2023-05-13T04:45:48+00:00

30/9/9, hyper efficient, 43 minutes (more than anybody else tonight)

Best game of the playoffs in the most must-win game to date. I thought his age was finally showing with him averaging low 20's all playoffs but damn if he didn't deliver tonight. This is going to be his... 12th Conference Finals? Insanity.

ignatious__reilly · 2023-05-13T04:45:37+00:00

LeBron has just won 16 straight games to clinch a Playoff series at home. Congrats King.

nick170100 · 2023-05-13T04:54:58+00:00

The actual game changer was that reaves half court shot buzzer beater

From potentially the lead being cut to 4 or 6 instead pushes the lead out to 10 at half time

indogunawan · 2023-05-13T04:45:42+00:00

From 2-10 to the WCF 🥹🥹

OnRedditSometimes · 2023-05-13T04:45:43+00:00

Lebron will forever be the greatest at dictating the pace and flow of a game. Masterclass performance

KingNephew · 2023-05-13T04:45:46+00:00

2-10 start and 0.2% chance to make playoffs

Play-in all the way and 13th seed most of the year. Now in the Western Conference Finals, do you understand the magnitude of this comeback?

foods0 · 2023-05-13T04:51:12+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever loved a player more than I love Austin Reaves . Plays like a 20 year vet looks like a high school musical extra.

OleRockTheGoodAg · 2023-05-13T04:45:38+00:00

Over the last 3 games, Klay Thompson shot 9-42 from the field (21.4%) and 7-27 from deep (25.9%).

In the same span, Jordan Poole shot 8-28 (28.5%) and 1-11 from deep (9%).

Never thought I'd say this, but Steph needs help. Steph scored 10 or more buckets in EACH of the last 3 games.

GG Lakers y’all earned this. Nothing bad to say about you guys from my end

Zbz · 2023-05-13T04:45:46+00:00

The corgi was a false prophet

ordervs · 2023-05-13T04:45:38+00:00

Klay seems like he might be washed. Dont know that he'll ever be pre-injury Klay again on defense or with his shot. Curry had a great series overall. But when they asked him to play on-ball and orchestrate all game you could tell he didn't have the legs for it. The Lakers length and athleticism inside had him (and all the Warriors) spooked. Steph was short on a lot of shots, missed some open 3s and a lot less active off ball. Makes you realize how absurd it was watching Lebron drag those Cavs teams and do everything offensively and defensively 45 minutes per night.

The Lakers seem like they will beat anyone when they bring their A+ game defensively. I’m curious to see if they can keep this up for another 10-14 games though. Especially next series having more travel and the Denver altitude, while still only having 1 day of rest between each game. Lebron is really picking his spots on offense. He seems to know he only has 8-10 dominant minutes on offense per game. They'll likely need more from him against Denver.

TheDarkSkinProphet · 2023-05-13T04:48:57+00:00

I’m just appreciating greatness while I can. Love bron

HaksaI · 2023-05-13T04:45:52+00:00

It’s so refreshing to watch this matchup with LeBron finally being the one with the better supporting cast. Can’t believe injuries in 2015, then Kevin Durant joining the juggernaut in 2017 really has people disrespecting LeBron James’ greatness. I can definitely respect MJ over LeBron if you think that, but some absolutely delusional people don’t even have him top two all time. Plain and simple, a horrendously ridiculous take. It’s crazy how blinding hatred can be. The combination of ELITE talent, skill, and IQ is something that I have been blessed to watch over the last twenty years. GGs to both teams. I hope Curry doesn’t receive the same legacy slander that James did when the positions were flipped.

madism · 2023-05-13T04:48:32+00:00

Thank you LeBron and Steph Curry for some of the best basketball I've ever watched go down between two great players over the years.

Props. We may never see them go at it again but it's been a pleasure.

tsam7879 · 2023-05-13T05:19:48+00:00

AD not being on the All defensive team is crazy

simon2105 · 2023-05-13T04:45:43+00:00

Two play in teams made it to their respective conference final, the play in is finally successful?

pezasied · 2023-05-13T04:45:48+00:00

That's what happens when someone bigger, older, and more athletic than you takes your crown AND throne. And then makes you brick threes for his amusement.

AddMoreHops · 2023-05-13T04:45:50+00:00

3/19 FG

Game 6 Klay 🔥🔥🔥😤😤

OleRockTheGoodAg · 2023-05-13T04:46:02+00:00

The splash Brothers were the only 2 warriors players to make double figures... Stephen Curry and Donte DiVincenzo

Swellpearz5598 · 2023-05-13T05:06:37+00:00

28 more fucking shots than the lakers and brick brothers thompson and poole got us blown out

IDlOT · 2023-05-13T04:45:45+00:00

Jordan's gonna need to drop another docuseries if Old Man James makes it to yet another fucking Finals

Never wanna hear about game 6 klay ever again

2-10 to ending a dynasty

transizzle · 2023-05-13T04:47:01+00:00

Game 6 Klay can be retired from the basketball lexicon permanently

GuyMaxwell · 2023-05-13T04:45:46+00:00

Oh how I love watching the Warriors lose. Thank you, Lakers.

AndoArugula · 2023-05-13T04:46:52+00:00

Klay holding up 4 fingers but it's actually to indicate his field goal percentage

GGezpzMuppy · 2023-05-13T04:45:44+00:00

Jordan realised he needed white centres to win rings and now Lebron finally realising he needs white guards.
