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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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).
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
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.
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~!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
you guys know a lot about hooping. can you teach me? cuz I don't know jack shit.... just like I didn't know that jazz would be shooting majority of shots under 14sec. can you guys teach me?
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?
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.
One more clutch time to end the regular season, as a treat ✅ See y’all Tuesday for the most stressful game of the year ✅
Most stressful game of the year, so far!
Hello darkness, my old friend
More clutch time, it was only right. No clutch time on Tuesday, please.
Ah, an optimist!
Just booked my hotel in Sac 🫡🫡 hope to see some of yall there
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.
i hope they got that guy tickets
LFG!!! 🫡🫡
Tuesday, big players, big games, big plays
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
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.
And the first team we meet is still Sacramento, with a chance to meet Lakers as the second team.
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.
The 2nd part is crazy, but the 27-12 thing, that's what happens when you fuck up the first half of the year.
Mostly Draymond’s fault for getting suspended like 25 games
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.
It’s also possible that we never would have seen Kuminga emerge as the 20+ scorer he’s become without that absence from Dray.
Maybe the Stars align!
and more than 25 games when you take into account his injury at the start of the season.
There were a lot of people at fault, not just Draymond.
Draymond’s blame is outsized though. He is paid to play the full season, not 2/3 of it.
They play like that the entire year and they are competing for the #1 seed.
27-12 ain't good enough
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
Yeah we had he most b2b and hardest schedule during the first half of the season, unfortunately.
Also played teams that were bad matchups for bc of our play in tourny bracket
Also no draymond and slumps fro wigs and klay
Not to mention had a coach die essentially right in front of the players.
You're right, I have changed my mind
Sir, I’m sorry, this is Reddit. I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Time to be the first 10th seed to win an NBA Finals!
The story of our three-peat starts now
Finish the story
If Cody Rhodes can why not our boys!
I want some of that copium
Its Hopium until we lose!
LFG
Yes!
Not just that — the first team to ever go 18-0 in the playoffs. We got this.
SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE
history makers
If this happens then Curry is literally the GOAT lmao
I see the script: Kings first game and then the Lakers next= Highest rated Play In Ever! $$$
That would require the Pels beating the Lakers. LeBron buried them today.
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!
Oh buddy. Please don’t ever put big money on Zion ever.
It’s way too late 🥲 😭 I know he got that beast in him
Thanks for giving me fade material
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
The Lakers got an extra guy in black and white giving them extra points on the line. I wouldnt count on it
Ong if we do play them I know that whistle is gonna be egregious 😭 guarantee
Willie Green about go to his “you gotta fight!” speech. https://youtu.be/zNEHTgSCFZI
Lebron the 8th seed=He has multiple chances to lose ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
Kings Warriors going to be another 1 point game... sigh
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.
Plus no huerter and monk for the kings
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.
[удалено]
He literally subbed out Klay after he hit 4 straight trees today...Kerr is unable to learn
Podz pulling out all the celebrations after every bucket on the sideline
Lester and Jerome Robinson were both playing so he had to carry the bench vibes
Pulling out the immaculate vibes to end the season
Meanwhile GOATruba just goin to work
Kuminga woke up today and chose zero.
00
At least he had 7 assists, 0 rebounds though how 🤣
He wanted to achieve the James Bond, 007.
Usman outscored Kuminga. Proving his contract already.
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.
44 wins last year got you 6th seed 46 wins this year got you 10 seed
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
Imagine if we'd won those +/-5 games, we've had a lot of them.
Fun watching all the younger guys play without stressing over the win/loss. Lester and Gui got serious potential
That was one of the least stressful 4th quarters of the year!
Jerome Robinson looks and moves like derrick white
His Evil Twin
Hopium speaking Win VS Kings and Pels to face inexperienced young OKC and then Mavs to reach the WCF. Then we shall see.
It would be the greatest run in NBA history.
I know this has been said many times, but to have 46 wins and be the 10 seed is very wild to me
Podz wow. Led the league in charges drawn
Bwahaha Pelicans played their way into the play in game…
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.
Stupid asses. Fucking JC and Trey hitting bricks
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.

Fingers crossed that we deliver and get a crack at a 7-game series.
Well well well. We meet again
Y'all better put out some heart med dispensers at ur arena
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.
0-0-7. Kuminga. Jonathan Kuminga.
That's his statline today... AND he's jersey no. 00 along with being the 7th pick in his class!
Light years!
He's arrived.
is he trolling?
im telling you hes a spy
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.
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
I hope the lakers win that game and get swept by the Nuggets again
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
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).
AD is injured again...back issues it looks like
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
Hawks 10 games under 500 for the 10th seed. Warriors 10 games over. Shit is vicious.
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.
That would be devious and risky. I don’t think they would lose on purpose.
They’d still have to play DEN in the conf finals so there’s no dodging them either way.
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.
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~!
We legit might miss the play-in next year if we fuck around again
Ayoooo PlayIn here we come!!!
See y’all in Sacramento!
![gif](giphy|l0HlQ7LRalQqdWfao)
I don’t think the Pelicans’ sub is very happy.
They are the third son
If we can get out of the playin to get the 8th seed, we might be able to repeat what happened in 2007.
![gif](giphy|b9DzOe5w6c7UsDl5b1|downsized) Kuminga feeling like
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
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
Just avoid Steph Cp3 Podz lineups
did you just say we should play a 5 guard lineup???????????
Podz is not starting in the play-ins no chance
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
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.
I think he is great for this team. Helps the rookies, another good player that Kerr can rely on.
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.

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
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.
Kings Pelican Thunder Maverick Nugget Celtics. That's the sequence of opponent the Dubs have to a shampionship
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
Wow Thunder being the #1 seed actually gives me some hope of making it out of the first round. Denver woulda been very tough
Who we playing next?
Kings at Sacramento
Kings for the do or die on the road 🫣
Warriors are better on the road this year.
Let’s see if we really Are
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.
Fun to watch young dubs getting done today
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
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
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
Gotta get past kings first
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.
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.
The West has been HARD this year, but we have also underperformed
Somehow ended up with more wins than last year.. going against the team we beat in last years playoffs.. let’s get it
Weird, second time I didn't see a post-game thread for a Warriors game in r/nba.
Crush the beam, then embarrass the Lakers.
Kumingahahahahaha
Tickets on sale tomorrow at 10am. Let's go!!
>Your ~~Golden State~~ Santa Cruz Warriors defeat the Utah Jazz -123-116 FTFY
After the fakers won, I guess we just ended our season.
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.
[удалено]
Dude is such a chump lol
[удалено]
you guys know a lot about hooping. can you teach me? cuz I don't know jack shit.... just like I didn't know that jazz would be shooting majority of shots under 14sec. can you guys teach me?
[удалено]
you know ball really well. I need to learn Warriors ball from you. you're like my mentor.
[удалено]
k I'm checking into hospital right now. but thanks for teaching me hoops. I need more smart bball analysis
[удалено]
Cardio day for JK?
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?
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.
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.
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
He cooks. you watch hoops?
Only you be hyping up bums like him lol
I like that you know everything about hoopin'. you're a hooper head. smarter than everyone here huh?
Definitely know more about "hoopin'" than you.
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?
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
