what a game
I can’t believe that arena was PACKED, there were whole sections of empty seats ! That’s crazy this should be the most hyped series in this years playoffs !
Great freaking Game 1
The Lakers coach is trash and will cost them this series.
Lakers domiinated the paint! Golden State gotta step it up down low or this series goes to the Lakers! Having a big man is an extremely important piece to have and Golden State needs that to beat the Lakers!
Well played for both team. Another classic match up.
Being a Denver fan myself, I want both of these teams to eventually lose… That said, I want LBJ's season to end this series!
No way Warriors shooting can overpower easy interior buckets/rebounds by Lakers. They'll die on that hill and battle it out but Lakers are gonna come out on top
go lekes idol lebron james
At this point GS needs to refer to LeBron as "The Great Enemy"
This was winnable game for GS, at 9:01 when Curry has the ball (16 seconds on the shot clock), everyone need to come out and set the pick for him to get open. Poole does it first, the second pick should be by Thompson. The play to make is a hot potato catch and release for Klay or Curry to be open for the 3. No way he runs into the paint to face Godzilla AD with a reach from here to Kalamazoo on a layup floater. Run that play back again, and I assure you they won't do that again. You'll live with Klay or Curry shooting from beyond the ARC. The two man game of Klay or Curry is what won them 4 Championships, dont stop it now.

Yesss
Told to be homie that floater layup by Curry wasn't going to work with AD im the middle
DO NONE OF Y'ALL HEARD THE MAN SAY SHRODER SHOT MORR FREE THROWS THAN THE REST OF THE WARRIORS.. Yep the refs came to play.. THANKS NBA.. Pointing out that when Hawks had a good run Bron n team on the line much..
Wooo!! F*ck Yeah!! That was huge, we almost gave up the booty😰
Warriors gonna get swept. Bandwagons start crying now 😂😂😂😂
Great game hope it goes 7
The Lakers look better against the warriors than they did against the grizzlies.
The warriors played very well they just need some size if they had that Lakers would have lost
Clash of the Titans. I really want the Lakers to win game 2, but I know the Warriors are just that. A brilliant and dynamic team that knows how to get it done. That finish was too intense. Very eager to watch. Long live the King.
Warriors too small
Please let AD and LeBron stay healthy through this series 🙏 We deserve to watch a full series of greatness. Game 1 was epic.
Warriors took an L lol
Sheeeesh the Lakers playing long ball 🏀 the warriors gone have to play smarter & not go for the first shot when they down in the paint a shot blocker such as AD be waiting on stuff like that. Next game is going to be exciting cause i already know adjustments will be made.
I look forward to whoever wins this series getting dumpstered by denver in 5 games
29 freethrows for LAL, 6 for GSW. Period.
Lakers need to figure out how to bring back the first 7 everybody after that is interchangeable
29 freethrows for LAL, 6 for GSW. Period.
Warriors couldn't do anything with AD 😂 if he keeps it up they're in trouble
