Poor defense from gs. Monk was fearless getting to the basket. Game 7!
As a Harden fan seeing BOTH Giannis and Curry go home In the first round would make my entire year. Curry and his superteams are a big reason why Harden doesn’t have a ring which is why he’s known as a “choker” and it ruins his entire legacy. And as for Giannis.. His fans talk so much shit about Harden, Giannis robbed Harden’s MVP and he got blessed In that 2021 series VS Harden when he was Injured which also kinda ruins his legacy even tho Harden never missed the playoffs, top top 30 player and a top 4 SG all time!! So please Sacramento, I haven’t watched a Kings game all season but I’m praying y’all close this out and I’ll be a fan for life 🙏🏿🥲
Game 6 monk > game 6 klay
Look at everyone that counted the kings. All of the momentum is back on Sacramento's side now. GO LINGS GO
Ruh ohhh
Ladies and Gentlemen, on Sunday we see the end of the Warriors dynasty. What a time to be alive lol.
They won
They are persistent if nothin else
Wow
Wow, they combined for 2 points less than Jimmy Butler!
The Warriors aren’t panicking they know they have one more missing piece – they’re missing that 39-year-old NBA veteran 😉
Yeah the beams are finishing this at home. Warriors thought cuz they were the defending champs and had the experience that it was gonna carry on into the playoffs against a young team. This is their punishment for not fixing their road woes. They’ll be watching the kings play on their couch.
One of the ugliest games I've ever seen. Terrible non calls for BOTH teams, dubs couldn't hit a shot to save their lives and acted nonchalant Abt it. At least let game 7 be good
Kings in 7. GG warriors we were better team all series
They’re very close to being completely healthy – they just missing one more guy I just can’t wait till he gets back, but it will take almost forever for him to get back 😉 – The Warriors
Pool is a joke man. He just plain terrible compared to last year. Go back to the G league
Jimmy's 56 points was just another level….
damn, warriors in trouble with that horrible road record, but dont count them out.. Advantage Sac, its going to be a great game
Best duo since Steph and Klay
Bye-bye Warriors. There's no way you gonna win G7.
jordan poole is so a$$
since College this Duo is amazing👍
Malik Monk ball like a O.G. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Monk was baptizing fools tonight.
Absolutely disgusting performance from the warriors. Top down pathetic.
They should refund the tickets for everyone in the arena.
LIGHT THE BEAM!!!
Look at Poole so inspirational
Leclutch all the time!
Got cooked by small ball lineup, still, fuck GSW!
Them Kentucky boys back at it 😤😤
Fox needa drop 56 game 7
Good win kings
My Kentucky boys bringing the reigning champs to a game 7! Amazing basketball being played
(with a broken finger btw) and with sabonis having anothe rbad game lol.
You couldn't have handled your first elimination game better. Fantastic work.
If Monk was three inches taller. SMH
Poole Bum doing some extra cardio. Kick that guy from the play offs and let him play on g league
Who made the thumbnail and title 😂 it makes both players look worst than they actually are
What a nightmare.. Kerr is Horrible
What a game!!!
Not impressed easily, dude is my favorite player. Just kept attacking like kobe.
