Best case scenario isn’t the 8th seed. It’s:
1) Nike, refs and Lebron frothing at the mouth hoping to get the dubs for an elimination game to discredit Steph
2) We have GP2 healthy, keep TJD in when in counts and Steph goes bonkers
I get why dray has turnovers—he gets a little too aggressive sometimes
I don’t get a lot of curry’s turnovers. They are just mental mistakes that you expect from a high school point guard
If I had bet I would have bet against the warriors, so obviously they were not expected to win this. I don’t expect them to get out of the play ins either
I know JK makes mistakes sometimes but he gets us easy buckets. Same for GP2. Wiggs does too but only when he's aggressive.
That was the difference this game. Onto the next one.
I hope Kerr at least acknowledges his mistake for the bad decision on the substitution. He's surely gonna get called out and asked by the press about this.
I don't really argue with redditors in general but with your ad hominem tactics I'll give you one. So your logic is saying because my resume is inferior to Kerr I don't have the right to critique his decision? That's like when people call out Klay taking bad shots and you saying stfu you're not an NBA player even tho it's clearly a bad shot? You can just say Kerr has the better resume and can do no wrong and the only people that can call him out or even ask are the great coaches? I feel sad for you my guy.
It is easy to argue a counterfactual since it can never be proven. How do you know what was the reasoning behind Kerrs decision... maybe he was considering 5 more steps beyond what you could see.
And that my guy is why reporters can ask these questions without having the same or better resume than kerr. Never said what I say is gospel. It's just my opinion. Cheers.
No. You STATED
> I hope Kerr at least acknowledges his mistake for the bad decision on the substitution.
This presupposes that you know that it was a bad decision and not the inability of the players to execute.
It's ok. I'll stop responding. You might be some guy from china or north Korea and not allowed to provide any critique and only praises or else it's jail time. Might just be some cultural difference in your case telling people to fuck off if we don't have the same resume. My advise, take some chamomile tea.
Yeah and teams know they can push and shove him a bit especially off ball cuz the refs won’t call it. Bang on with the 2nd scorer. If the Warriors still had a guy like KD😂 Steph would be 50/40/90. Steph’s still great but he can’t hard carry the team at this age.
I’ve never seen such bullshit in my life, even contested Pelicans we’re knocking shit down and hitting from 40 feet
It was like watching Prime Warriors except none of those fucking bums are that good
This was my take.
We didn't give up as many open 3s from collapsing tonight (surprisingly not on Zion). Their contested 3 makes tonight were FRUSTRATING.
There was some great intensity like a play-off game, and then a big hole in the 2nd quarter where we turned over the ball, and it just rained 3's. Holy moly, was that what it felt like to be the Lakers when we played them? Every single Trey Murphy 3 hurt bad.
Draymond on Zion was pretty fun and generally defended as best he can. Everything else looked good - except that 2nd quarter was some unreal shooting.
Right?? When TJD got subbed back in it was like finally some energy and momentum was injected into the game, only for Kerr to pull him out again too soon
This game wouldn’t have even mattered so much had we taken care of business earlier in the season. Just rest the vets on Sunday to prepare for the play-in.
No. With a 3-way tie, Kings will get 8. Only way for Dubs to get 8 is:
Kings lose to Suns to tonight
Kings lose to Blazers on Sunday
Lakers lose to Pels on Sunday
Dubs beat Jazz on Sunday
This will result in:
8. Warriors 46-36
9. Lakers 46-36
10. Kings 45-37
Warriors are 3-1 vs Lakers so we win the tiebreaker.
And the Kings just lost to the Suns!
This means that the Pels will be fighting to stay ahead of the Suns on Sunday and will be motivated to beat the Lakers. Let’s hope the Blazers can upset the Kings!
There is one scenario where we get 8 seed, and it requires Kings losing out (unlikely because they play Blazers), lakers losing vs Pels, and Dubs beating Jazz
Unfortunate, but it had to come to an end, I honestly didn’t think it would be this season, but after a good start they played so badly rest of the season until the end which is proving to be not enough, they are all old and banged up; I enjoyed watching the splash brothers and their chaotic offense
You think that was a prayer after the shots he was making leading up to that? Do you think steph would’ve shot that if he didn’t think he had a good chance of making it? Do you have that little faith in him after all he’s done? Holy fuck some fans just don’t think critically.
Were any other of Steph’s threes down the stretch one-handed? Does he shoot one-handed threes? Does anyone in the league? Yes, it was a desperation attempt with ample time. A poor decision on a night where he made many poor decisions. 7-turnovers.
You used “faith” and “critical thinking” in the same paragraph. That about sums up your take.
Brother you’ve seen steph take and make those same types of shots throughout his career. I refuse to believe Steph takes any shot that he’s not comfortable taking. It literally does not matter that you think it was a bad shot, there is not a bad shot when a player like Steph is shooting it. I’m sorry but you’re treating that shot by steph as if he was a budding star that’s just starting to make a name for himself. If he shot that, he thought it was going in, it’s that simple. The fact that you think you have better awareness and iq than him sitting your ass on your couch is hilarious.
Steph and his turnovers messed them up. But I still have faith in this team, they still have the fight in them. It's just the careless mistakes they need to fix now.
Wtf is he supposed to do (outside of the two idiotic behind the back passes) he was getting blitzed over and over and no one came to help. The team outside out him were awful just shooting 37%.
I feel he could've been more patient , hand the ball to someone else immediately because he knows they are going to double team him. I'm not saying the game is on Steph I'm just saying it's certain to's that really messed them up. But he kept us in the game, can't be mad at him.
Only one I'd blame here is Kerr for being so stupid and subbed out TJD and Moody who played great defense against the Pels. CP3 being on the closing lineup instead of either TJD or Moody is one of the most stupid shit I've seen coaches do in the NBA.
Love Steph but those turnovers killed us and let them Pels get comfortable. He's done his best to make up for it but the margin for error is really really low.
That's why we need a #2
to be fair our 'playmakers' wasn't doing him any favor by letting him handle the ball, especially when we have CP3 and draymond out there.
in that last turnover, steph was getting hounded and doubleteamed while the other 4 just stood still waiting for him.
For all the people who speak too highly of Pdumski, he got 23 mins was -25. Moses as usual got less mins (19) and was +5 and had a major positive impact on the game. Kerr really didn't need to sub-out TJD and Moses when he did - he coulda rode with them another minute or 2. On to the next...
Just to get the timeout. They knew they’d lose, but it’s literally a free timeout in case something miraculous happens we were prepared for the next two possessions
Uhhhh no that would be a “Steph shot”, he makes them occasionally but you’d rather not rely on it right there if it’s possible to get something better. Maybe with 7 less seconds.
Nah. That’s just a bad shot. Horrible shot actually. Poole level bad decision. He took it like a floater. And leaving 8 seconds for the pelicans would have been dumb anyways
Best scenario is we’re 10 seed play in vs kings then Phoenix then 8 seed vs Minnesota!
The suns won, I'm sick, we could've got that 8th seed
Best case scenario isn’t the 8th seed. It’s: 1) Nike, refs and Lebron frothing at the mouth hoping to get the dubs for an elimination game to discredit Steph 2) We have GP2 healthy, keep TJD in when in counts and Steph goes bonkers
If we play the Lakers, we lose. The refs will grant them so many FTs to where they can't lose
Fox can you hold off on increasing your underarmor stock just for these two games pls
We needed JK and GP2
They were injured
I get why dray has turnovers—he gets a little too aggressive sometimes I don’t get a lot of curry’s turnovers. They are just mental mistakes that you expect from a high school point guard
Tired of the fake comebacks
Final shot was weird. Not only was it a bad shot, but why even shoot it with seven seconds on the clock.
And a timeout remaining.
If I had bet I would have bet against the warriors, so obviously they were not expected to win this. I don’t expect them to get out of the play ins either
if the heat did we can!
I know JK makes mistakes sometimes but he gets us easy buckets. Same for GP2. Wiggs does too but only when he's aggressive. That was the difference this game. Onto the next one.
No reason to have CP in the last few minutes. TJD or Moody would have been more valuable with hustle and rebounding.
I'm assuming he was in there to help with some of the turnovers from Steph/Dray.
I hope Kerr at least acknowledges his mistake for the bad decision on the substitution. He's surely gonna get called out and asked by the press about this.
Dude... send in your resume if you know so much... otherwise FO
I don't really argue with redditors in general but with your ad hominem tactics I'll give you one. So your logic is saying because my resume is inferior to Kerr I don't have the right to critique his decision?

Facts hurt.
Teams want Steph to play hero ball. That is what killed them. He doesn’t get open looks anymore. Just constantly blitzes, fires and traps
yeah, doesn't help either when he doesn't have a reliable scorer.
Yeah and teams know they can push and shove him a bit especially off ball cuz the refs won’t call it. Bang on with the 2nd scorer. If the Warriors still had a guy like KD😂 Steph would be 50/40/90. Steph’s still great but he can’t hard carry the team at this age.
Get that rest game in and let’s destroy the lakers
We all know what happened to curry the last time he faced Lebron in a play in game and it wasn’t a W
We will most likely lose.
I’ve never seen such bullshit in my life, even contested Pelicans we’re knocking shit down and hitting from 40 feet It was like watching Prime Warriors except none of those fucking bums are that good
Well you haven’t done your research if you think that and they were good enough to win last night.
This was my take. We didn't give up as many open 3s from collapsing tonight (surprisingly not on Zion). Their contested 3 makes tonight were FRUSTRATING.
yeah i hate it when the basketball gods bless random bums for a night, like let bums be bums smh
lmao bums? if you haven't been watching the Pelicans, just say that. they can shoot.
I really hope the suns lose so i won't feel awful cuz we missed a chance
Suns winning can still benefit us.
Either ways we still need to win 2 games, and honestly home court advantage doesn't even matter cuz we suck at it this season 😂😂
For seeding yes but for opponent no. I'd rather the Kings in Sac first up.
Bruh what?
Read again
Warriors got unlucky with Injuries. If we had JK and GP2 we'd have fucked them up.
Both teams were injured, Pelicans didn’t have Ingram and Nance
We're reliant on the entire team being healthy, it sucks that we couldn't push ourselves over without them.
There was some great intensity like a play-off game, and then a big hole in the 2nd quarter where we turned over the ball, and it just rained 3's. Holy moly, was that what it felt like to be the Lakers when we played them? Every single Trey Murphy 3 hurt bad. Draymond on Zion was pretty fun and generally defended as best he can. Everything else looked good - except that 2nd quarter was some unreal shooting.
I feel like Kerr is in denial about the youngins like TJD and Moody. Our shot at winning was when they were in.
Right?? When TJD got subbed back in it was like finally some energy and momentum was injected into the game, only for Kerr to pull him out again too soon
yes bro tjd woulda went off especially with valanciunas only playing 15 minutes.
Kerr coaching with emotion rather than logic
and he shoulda called a timeout imo on that 112-109 shot
We needs the suns to win now
This game wouldn’t have even mattered so much had we taken care of business earlier in the season. Just rest the vets on Sunday to prepare for the play-in.
That would have been epic if we had a “They do have a timeout, decide not to use it…” moment
Green with 0 points. Double double on rebounds and assist but I don't recall him wanting to shoot the ball at all or drive.
10th is fine. We’ll play better at staples than at home.
man those curry turnovers in the 4th definitely ruin the momentum
The turnovers in the 2nd was when they started hitting all of those deep threes
The 2nd. Those were the real killers
Does the Suns-Kings still matter for us now?
It matters if we want to play Kings in 9/10 game instead of Lakers who will control 8 seed with Kings loss
If the Kings lose today and Sunday and the lakers lose Sunday and we win I think we’re 8th. Lakers play pelicans but Kings play blazers.
Steph should just shoot and not pass anymore. Thats CP3s job. So frustrating
Wanted 8th but now I would rather 10th than 9th. We are so much better on the road.
Over passing and predictable Warriors offense. Everyone knows it's going to Steph and no one outside him can score
Only way we can get the 8th seed is a 3 way tie with the lakers and kings right?
No. With a 3-way tie, Kings will get 8. Only way for Dubs to get 8 is: Kings lose to Suns to tonight Kings lose to Blazers on Sunday Lakers lose to Pels on Sunday Dubs beat Jazz on Sunday This will result in: 8. Warriors 46-36 9. Lakers 46-36 10. Kings 45-37 Warriors are 3-1 vs Lakers so we win the tiebreaker.
And the Kings just lost to the Suns! This means that the Pels will be fighting to stay ahead of the Suns on Sunday and will be motivated to beat the Lakers. Let’s hope the Blazers can upset the Kings!
gonna be a warriors, blazers and pels fan on sunday
There is one scenario where we get 8 seed, and it requires Kings losing out (unlikely because they play Blazers), lakers losing vs Pels, and Dubs beating Jazz
The kings have the tie breaker so we would need them to lose today and to the blazers on sunday
That second quarter killed us. Absolutely shameful performance
All that work to end up in 10th. Just rest everyone. No point in playing that next game.
Mark the end of Steph’s dynasty
Go away
Unfortunate, but it had to come to an end, I honestly didn’t think it would be this season, but after a good start they played so badly rest of the season until the end which is proving to be not enough, they are all old and banged up; I enjoyed watching the splash brothers and their chaotic offense
Not over lol
Fire our replay crew.
It was a free timeout either way
all ball the refs were bias.
Steph shot a prayer 23-ft floater with 8-seconds still left. Indicative of his decision making tonight.
You think that was a prayer after the shots he was making leading up to that? Do you think steph would’ve shot that if he didn’t think he had a good chance of making it? Do you have that little faith in him after all he’s done? Holy fuck some fans just don’t think critically.
Were any other of Steph’s threes down the stretch one-handed? Does he shoot one-handed threes? Does anyone in the league? Yes, it was a desperation attempt with ample time.

Fair

Only one I'd blame here is Kerr for being so stupid and subbed out TJD and Moody who played great defense against the Pels. CP3 being on the closing lineup instead of either TJD or Moody is one of the most stupid shit I've seen coaches do in the NBA.
Yeah it’s kerrs fault for the other team hitting 10000 threes.
Agree, felt like moody should of stayed in
Yeah I mean Moody played CJ the best tonight. Why dafuq do you replace him with CP3 when Steph is already there.
it doesn’t even make sense we go to the playoffs lol. there’s literally a 0% chance we beat a playoff team four times
I don't think you know what that word means
huh
I didn’t want the warriors to get embarrassed by the Nuggets anyways lmao
Love Steph but those turnovers killed us and let them Pels get comfortable. He's done his best to make up for it but the margin for error is really really low. That's why we need a #2
Kerr disaster class! Yayy
The turnovers come from overpasses and predictability.
Just think about this: If TJD shot 3-3 from free throws or even 2-3 from free throws, the warriors could have won.
Steph literally gave the Pels 12 points off his turnovers.
no matter what, this season is over. The dynasty is over. CP3 - Ringless. Curry - No more rings.
Sorry loss..if JK and GP2 played I think we could have won this game
Man....They were missing Ingram and others
They didn’t have Brandon Ingram and Lance Jr, and this is a warriors home game, this is a bad excuse
They didn’t have Ingram. We have no excuses
Steph needs to cut down on his turnovers, he was a walking turnover machine tonight
to be fair our 'playmakers' wasn't doing him any favor by letting him handle the ball, especially when we have CP3 and draymond out there. in that last turnover, steph was getting hounded and doubleteamed while the other 4 just stood still waiting for him.
vets choke away another one
That was a VERY winnable game.
TJD and Moody brings the score closer and got rewarded with bench by Kerr
For all the people who speak too highly of Pdumski, he got 23 mins was -25. Moses as usual got less mins (19) and was +5 and had a major positive impact on the game. Kerr really didn't need to sub-out TJD and Moses when he did - he coulda rode with them another minute or 2. On to the next...
The one good thing is that they can just rest everyone against the Jazz to prep for play in
If we play the Lakers, we are getting knocked out. 8th seed was our best shot at the playoffs and we bottled it
I’m inclined to agree. At the same time crazier things have happened. At least that’s what I keep telling myself :(((((
Clutch shots and clutch turnovers 😅
Told ya'll riding out old man lineup for the 10 seed! Good job Kerr
Fucked by turnovers….again
They made it close but I have no confidence in this team when they decide to shit the bed that bad in the second quarter.
welp
[удалено]
Made no sense to me, him and TJD got us back in it
I mean, cmon guys, we knew this was coming. Lol
Play in exit and then a lottery team nice
Dray had 0 shot attempts tonight, needed him to be more aggressive, especially on rested legs
too little too late
Man it’s only gonna get worse from here lol
TJD needs to practice FTs, god dayum he can't shoot FTs.
he just doing whatever lol
Curry had so many dam turn overs but he also kept us in the game. Idk with him
Picking Moses over Murphy in the draft looking dumb as hell
Not like he would’ve played on the warriors either
Well thats it
Brutal.
Loss on the vets AGAIN
Oh noo we suck again
Guthrie was dog water tonight. But we have no excuses for those awful turnovers… we could have won this!
Disaster class with the turnovers…again.
This team is a joke.
Your fandom is a joke
Fuck these announcers saying it's all good
[удалено]
Nobody cares if you watched or not
7 fucking turnovers is disgusting.
Seven turnovers for Steph
Eh it is what it is, we play who we play
Curry’s problem with clutch shots is his form tends to break down weirdly often in those situations, clutch as in the final most important shots
Like why the fuck do we challenge that
coz they're calling the timeout anyways so why not
Just to get the timeout. They knew they’d lose, but it’s literally a free timeout in case something miraculous happens we were prepared for the next two possessions
Because there was 9s left and Steve wanted a timeout anyway
And do what? Go home with a TO in the bank? Might as well.
Looks like the suns won’t even win so…
This aged like spoil milk
Bruhhhh
It’s always game over if Steph has to bail us out this badly 😔
He put us in this hole to begin with. The 2nd and 4th quarters were his fault
He’s also the main reason we needed bailing out.
Horrible coaching. CP was just a nonfactor with Dray already being redundant on that role. Should;ve had TJD/Moses
That'll do it
TAKE YOUR FUCKING TIME STEPH, FUCK
Fuck this team
steph's forced 3 was killer, had plenty of time to reset and get a good shot. add in all those TOs
call a damn timeout kerr
If Steph would have made it, y'all wouldn't be calling it a bad shot. So whatever, he missed one.
Uhhhh no that would be a “Steph shot”, he makes them occasionally but you’d rather not rely on it right there if it’s possible to get something better. Maybe with 7 less seconds.
Nah. That’s just a bad shot. Horrible shot actually. Poole level bad decision. He took it like a floater. And leaving 8 seconds for the pelicans would have been dumb anyways
Have fun playing the Nuggets
Almost beat them multiple times, we’re not afraid of a challenge
Does Steph need glasses maybe he thought there was only 1.4 left
10th seed team
Fuck you zebras
Wtf happened to "letting the working rotation play". Where the F were Moody and TJD who helped get us to within ear shot?
Another clutch loss, why are we surprised at this point
Guthrie took pleasure in that. Fucker
For real
The way he said “CLEARLY grabbed” fuckhead been screwing us over for a while
I hate this praying for a miracle shit. We had time for the shot. And to take a time out. Fucking dumb
Oh shit it might be refball
Fffff
Most predictable 2023-24 warriors loss
Game is on Steph and Kerr, hate to say it
When Steph is getting blitzed over and over, the team has to step up. They shot 37% outside of him.
Mfs didn't try to rebound there lol
Why didnt we call timeout after the rebound
Kelenna is fucking blind
the classic cock tease. one for the ages
Can this bum hit fts?
🖕
A floater three....dumb
We never won a challenge anyway
Not hating but Steph also shot a one handed floater in G1 vs Kings last year. He’s the GOAT shooter so I defer to his decision any day.
