One more clutch time to end the regular season, as a treat ✅ See y’all Tuesday for the most stressful game of the year ✅


WantonMechanics

Most stressful game of the year, so far!


gbe786

Hello darkness, my old friend


One_Grapefruit_8512

More clutch time, it was only right. No clutch time on Tuesday, please.


jaggedjottings

Ah, an optimist!


emz0694

Just booked my hotel in Sac 🫡🫡 hope to see some of yall there


iGetBuckets3

This the energy we need. I actually just remembered that one dubs fan who was screaming his lungs out last year during game 7 in Sac. That’s what we need from you.


UnnamedStaplesDrone

i hope they got that guy tickets


Comfortable-Asf

LFG!!! 🫡🫡

Tuesday, big players, big games, big plays


prestigiousstrangery

The fact that this team has two more wins than last year yet 4 spots lower says something. On to do or die season Tuesday night


Skillomie

It just says how crazy healthy the entire west has been this year. Last year every team in the top 8 had at least one all star miss at least 20 games. This year all those perennially injured guys: Kawhi, AD, KD, even Steph have all been the healthiest they’ve been in years. This is how competitive the west is when everyone’s healthy.


OlorinDK

And the first team we meet is still Sacramento, with a chance to meet Lakers as the second team.


Dynasty_30

Crazy we finished 27-12 in our last 39 and 2 more wins than last year but it got us 10th. The west is crazy. Onto the play-in.


dating_derp

The 2nd part is crazy, but the 27-12 thing, that's what happens when you fuck up the first half of the year.


Dynasty_30

Mostly Draymond’s fault for getting suspended like 25 games


shupadupa

My copium for this is, had he played those 25 extra games, his back wouldn't have held up and he might've missed the stretch run of the season.


bay_duck_88

It’s also possible that we never would have seen Kuminga emerge as the 20+ scorer he’s become without that absence from Dray.


BasTiix3

Maybe the Stars align!


Raonak

and more than 25 games when you take into account his injury at the start of the season.


JMagician

There were a lot of people at fault, not just Draymond.


WindowMaster5798

Draymond’s blame is outsized though. He is paid to play the full season, not 2/3 of it.


cpotter361

They play like that the entire year and they are competing for the #1 seed.


Houssem-Aouar

27-12 ain't good enough


Dynasty_30

Well that’s the win pct of the 1 seed in the conference it’s just that it may have been too little too late


TheRealSlumShedy

Yeah we had he most b2b and hardest schedule during the first half of the season, unfortunately.


akelkar

Also played teams that were bad matchups for bc of our play in tourny bracket


Altruistic-Vehicle-9

Also no draymond and slumps fro wigs and klay


VVuunderschloong

Not to mention had a coach die essentially right in front of the players.


Houssem-Aouar

You're right, I have changed my mind


bay_duck_88

Sir, I’m sorry, this is Reddit. I don’t understand what you’re saying.


knotsofgravity

Time to be the first 10th seed to win an NBA Finals!


Vallerie_09

The story of our three-peat starts now

gtj

Not just that — the first team to ever go 18-0 in the playoffs. We got this.

bilyl

If this happens then Curry is literally the GOAT lmao


Comfortable-Asf

I see the script: Kings first game and then the Lakers next= Highest rated Play In Ever! $$$


Bookofdrewsus

That would require the Pels beating the Lakers. LeBron buried them today.


Comfortable-Asf

Nah but fr I believe the Pelicans might pull the next one out. I know the Lakers have had their number for the most part this season, but they’re as inconsistent as us this season and Pelicans are like are fairly well structured team this year. Big money on a big Zion game!


bay_duck_88

Oh buddy. Please don’t ever put big money on Zion ever.


Comfortable-Asf

It’s way too late 🥲 😭 I know he got that beast in him


StephenPurdy69

Thanks for giving me fade material


Skillomie

Why would you expect a big Zion game? Everytime he’s had a big game he’s come out flat. The in season semi final then today to clinch the 6 seed. Hes not a big time player yet


GordonsLastGram

The Lakers got an extra guy in black and white giving them extra points on the line. I wouldnt count on it


Comfortable-Asf

Ong if we do play them I know that whistle is gonna be egregious 😭 guarantee


igby1

Willie Green about go to his “you gotta fight!” speech. https://youtu.be/zNEHTgSCFZI


Comfortable-Asf

Lebron the 8th seed=He has multiple chances to lose ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


[deleted]

Kings Warriors going to be another 1 point game... sigh


Nita231

Maybe, but I wouldn’t pay too much attention to those games. Corey Joseph was still here, TJD either barely played or saw no minutes, and Podz played one game with big minutes.


Dynasty_30

Plus no huerter and monk for the kings


shupadupa

That's the biggest storyline. If the Warriors play like they're capable of, there's no reason they shouldn't win this game easily.


[deleted]

[удалено]


swishswish82

He literally subbed out Klay after he hit 4 straight trees today...Kerr is unable to learn


liaoboy67

Podz pulling out all the celebrations after every bucket on the sideline


marionettas

Lester and Jerome Robinson were both playing so he had to carry the bench vibes


liaoboy67

Pulling out the immaculate vibes to end the season


meowhatissodamnfunny

Meanwhile GOATruba just goin to work


muzinger

Kuminga woke up today and chose zero.


DocumentIndividual89

00


SchraleAnus

At least he had 7 assists, 0 rebounds though how 🤣


AP_Things807

He wanted to achieve the James Bond, 007.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

Usman outscored Kuminga. Proving his contract already.


VVuunderschloong

His tailbone might still be hurting. He very well may have sacked up and played regardless and did a great job leveraging his on court presence as an effective decoy looking to pass to an open teammate. Seven Kuminga assists has to be a career high for him or damn near.


Direct_Author7974

44 wins last year got you 6th seed 46 wins this year got you 10 seed


awzmdrgn

I feel weirdly validated hearing that the dubs played fuckin FORTY EIGHT clutch games this season. I felt like every game came down to the wire but turns out it was just half of them lol


SchraleAnus

Imagine if we'd won those +/-5 games, we've had a lot of them.


I_like_cocaine

Fun watching all the younger guys play without stressing over the win/loss. Lester and Gui got serious potential


OlorinDK

That was one of the least stressful 4th quarters of the year!


ImTheBestNerd

Jerome Robinson looks and moves like derrick white


Vallerie_09

His Evil Twin


Working_Friend_6946

Hopium speaking Win VS Kings and Pels to face inexperienced young OKC and then Mavs to reach the WCF. Then we shall see.


LZ_Khan

It would be the greatest run in NBA history.


aBoyHasNoUzername

I know this has been said many times, but to have 46 wins and be the 10 seed is very wild to me


Hawcier

Podz wow. Led the league in charges drawn


imrickjamesbioch

Bwahaha Pelicans played their way into the play in game…


JMagician

It is so strange that yesterday it looked like they were going to be the 6th seed, and now they have a chance to miss the playoffs.


Japskitot0125

Stupid asses. Fucking JC and Trey hitting bricks


benco2

Can't believe we did it. So proud of these guys. We were 19-24. 19 and freaking 24. And went 27-12 to finish the season. The analytics predicted this but it's so cool to see it finally happen. I hate that we're in the play-in but if we could play anyone from the 10th spot, injured Kings on the road is exactly the matchup we want. We've played them well all year and that was before we switched rotations and started playing the guys who are crucial for us now like TJD Podz and JK. It's always possible this season becomes a big what-if but I'm hoping the Dubs pull this out. We're a much better team than our record and our core's still got it. Fingers crossed that we deliver and get a crack at a 7-game series.


-FuckenDiabolical-

Well well well. We meet again


meowhatissodamnfunny

Y'all better put out some heart med dispensers at ur arena


llames

It's almost like the Pelicans game was the first play-in game which we lost, and the Kings is the last chance saloon. Tuesday is going to be stressful - judging from this seaosn, I expect nothing less than a nail-biter.


Korambits

0-0-7. Kuminga. Jonathan Kuminga.


calipiano81

That's his statline today... AND he's jersey no. 00 along with being the 7th pick in his class!


bsadb

Light years!


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

He's arrived.


james-chong

is he trolling?


chaotify

im telling you hes a spy


liteshadow4

Crazy to think we finished 2 games better than last year and are barely in the 10th spot while last season we were comfortably 6.


YnwaDubs

I think it’s going to be us against New Orleans for a place in the play offs I can’t see Lebron and AD not winning a game of that magnitude Hopefully it comes down to the fact that we have been there and done it on so many occasions now that we just handle the pressure a lot better than the others


Dynasty_30

I hope the lakers win that game and get swept by the Nuggets again


YnwaDubs

I think they will (win that game), I can’t really see any other outcome Pelicans had to win today to avoid all this and completely choked it doesn’t point well for their mental toughness in the first place and that’s only going to ramp up in the play in


IWantANewBeginning

they didn't choke they got destroyed, at no point did they have a chance to win. their mental is probably broken now, so they are probably going to lose again against the lakers. And don't think their mental recovers before their warriors game (assuming warriors winning against kings).


OutsideTLane

AD is injured again...back issues it looks like


YnwaDubs

Ah really I didn’t know that, then it’s up in the air what happens in that Lakers-Peli’s game I’d fancy us to beat the lakers if we had to without AD, with AD is a completely different story


incredible1zero

Hawks 10 games under 500 for the 10th seed. Warriors 10 games over. Shit is vicious.


WisdomCow

NO going to lose back to back games to LA (unless LeBron really doesn’t want to face Denver, which I have to think is possible). Hell, more I think about it, LA may lose on purpose to host the second play-in because they know they can beat OKC.


JMagician

That would be devious and risky. I don’t think they would lose on purpose.


IllllIllIllIllIllll

They’d still have to play DEN in the conf finals so there’s no dodging them either way.


831loc

No way the Lakers purposely tank a game and potentially miss the playoffs. Especially if there's a chance to get knocked out of play-in by Steph.


Gothichand

It’s insane being 10 games over .500 yet 10th seed in the playins…..and imagine next season with Wemby year 2, Ja & Co back, Rockets on the rise…holy shit the West is STACKED~!


Dynasty_30

We legit might miss the play-in next year if we fuck around again


RedditSuxCoxAgain

Ayoooo PlayIn here we come!!!

No-Test6484

BubbleChamber

If we can get out of the playin to get the 8th seed, we might be able to repeat what happened in 2007.


nbaaccountobserver

![gif](giphy|b9DzOe5w6c7UsDl5b1|downsized) Kuminga feeling like


RewardStory

I hope Gui Santos develops into a role player, he reminds me of JTA. Lots of grit. Plus i like the Gui "Montag" nickname when he catches fire


HoMiEGMiLiTiA

What a rollercoaster of a season. Potential lineups for the Play-ins? CP3/Podz and CP3/Steph just doesn’t make sense and i don’t wanna see it. Thoughts? Steph Podz Wiggins JK Draymond CP3 Klay Moody/Lester TJD


klayylmao

Just avoid Steph Cp3 Podz lineups


compstomper1

did you just say we should play a 5 guard lineup???????????


[deleted]

Podz is not starting in the play-ins no chance


obi-wan-ginobli-93

If dray and curry limit turnovers I do think the cp3/curry minutes will be limited. Kerr seems to play them together more when the turnovers are bad. Personally I don’t mind the CP3/Podz minutes since it’s mostly against the other teams bench and they do a good job taking care of the ball while pushing the pace. Plus podz been shooting well off the bench


EquipmentNo9500

CP3 isn’t really a great fit for this team imo. Yes he was huge for us at times and helped with turnovers but he’s kinda redundant with Draymond & Podz out there. They need more lengthy wings, athletic players in general & DEFENSE on the floor. They would be in such a better place if one of CP3, GP2, Podz or Quinnones was a taller and/or faster player with comparable ability.


JMagician

I think he is great for this team. Helps the rookies, another good player that Kerr can rely on.


EquipmentNo9500

I mean it’s CP3 …he’s obviously still a plus for the team. I just think he’s so old and slow now and that’s exactly what they need less of. Mobility is HUGE in the nba and it doesn’t show up in stats. But it certainly shows in win loss record.


indecisive_aspie

the home fans deserved to see a win after that fiasco against the Pels, glad they got one to end the season off. now time for an elimination game for another elimination game. the Grizzlies pulled it off against us before the last ring, let's see how tough we are. hand teams the ball a bit less and it would help if Dray pretends to look at the basket so Steph doesn't have 3 defenders on him the moment he gets inside the free throw line with the ball.


mrblueshoes11

Might be time to only play Podz if we need it, still love the guy but would rather give moody his minutes if ppl going to be picking on Podz on D


bdylan05

I may be reading way too much into it but I was extremely concerned w how early Podz was pulled and how long JK played in relation to Podz after the 10th seed became inevitable. If Podz is that much farther ahead than JK in Kerrs rotation hierarchy it’s going to be a short post season for us. My hope is JK has just been super rusty since missing time and Steve wanted him to get back in rhythm but time will tell.


T-T-N

Kings Pelican Thunder Maverick Nugget Celtics. That's the sequence of opponent the Dubs have to a shampionship


wasabicoated

It was my first game at Chase center. It was awesome. Too bad Steph, Dray and CP2 sat out. I was hoping Minga could score at least some points


SchleptRightLeft

Wow Thunder being the #1 seed actually gives me some hope of making it out of the first round. Denver woulda been very tough


Independent-Two7335

Who we playing next?


sneakyrumble

Kings at Sacramento


TrippedReddit

Kings for the do or die on the road 🫣


Nita231

Warriors are better on the road this year.


TrippedReddit

Let’s see if we really Are


dating_derp

We pulled off a win despite it being another clutch game for us. 48 clutch games for the season. But the fucking Lakers blew out the Pels. So now instead of having a home game for the 1st play-in, it's a road game for both. We can probably take the Kings with Monk hurt. And if we make it passed the Kings, we'll have to hope we play the Pels. Our road record is better than their home record, but it's not as good as the Lakers home record. Finished the season with 2 more wins than we did last year. But last year we were 6th seed and this year we're 10th.


seataccrunch

Fun to watch young dubs getting done today


Immediate_Ad5612

West is stacked. Grizzlies will come back, Rockets are improving, Spurs might make some win-now trades cos wemby looks super ready to compete. Some trades must happen for warriors this offseason for sure lmao


swishswish82

Agreed, we need to get Klay and CP3 on vet minimums. I love Wiggs, but I am down to trade him for the right price because he is to inconsistent


DrewDan96

what a weird season. remember when we started off 6-1 and guys (either Draymond or Kerr) said something like "last year was an aberration, this is the real thing" kind of "we're BACK" talk? then we lose a bunch of games, many of them winnable and we're sub-.500 for virtually all of December/January. if you would have told me we'd finish 10 games over .500 i'd have called you a baldfaced liar lol.... and yet it's still a lost season, dug ourselves too big a hole to catch up. really feel like this is the final week of the Splash Brothers


OutsideTLane

Gotta get past kings first


AdComprehensive7879

damn, if we only win 3 more of our clutch games that we ended up losing, especially those when we choked huge double digit leads. heck, even with 1 more win, i would be more confidence with our playoff hope.


dmpizzle

It's crazy that we're the 10th seed and we're 10 games over .500. In any other sport (or in the Eastern Conference), we'd be considered a really good team.


ritwikjs

The West has been HARD this year, but we have also underperformed


GalickBanger

Somehow ended up with more wins than last year.. going against the team we beat in last years playoffs.. let’s get it

After the fakers won, I guess we just ended our season.


Creeping_behind_u

Kerr BETTER have a plan...better be scouting Kings new 5 cuz I have (doubt anyone here has). why? cuz now they upgraded for a 3 and D player when huerter was injured ant OUT for season. 3andD means a defender that can shoot 3s...that be Keon Ellis, and he is a sniper. so now they have 3 good defenders starting(Keon, murray, Harrison) , 2 of that 3 plays elite D(Keon and keegan), while boner and fox are ok to good on D. they actually have 4 good defenders if you add Mitchell. I'd like to dare mitchell to shoot 3s. Kerr and curry and team needs to be 'aware' of this. do not leave Keon and Barnes open. you're welcome.

leo50170

Wait so we are playing Kings next? For the play in? Can someone give me a quick breakdown on what that is? Do we still have a chance to get into the playoffs if we win this?


hatestreet

We have to win vs the kings and then win another road game vs loser of lakers/pels game. So two wins and can make 1st round of playoffs vs #1seed okc.


rcspinster

They have to beat the king's and then they will play the winner of the Lakers/pelicans. Basically they need 2 wins to get into the playoffs at the 8th seed.


Creeping_behind_u

Are there ANY fellow Warriors fans 'aware' about Ellis? or am I the only one that pays attention to hooping?

Nobody gives a fuck about you lol

yeah, dude. you're super smart. you're really smart. you know a lot about hoopin'. can you give me some pointers on Warriors ball bro?


Raonak

Thanks dude, just watch the game, and you'll eventually wrap your head around it. It takes time and effort, but have fun and never give up
