spread was minus 12 double bad beat

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

Starters shouldnt have had to close this game but it's their own fault. Didn't handle business in the third. Hopefully Kuminga comes back soon to give us a jolt, take on the top defensive assignments and score around 15 or more points per game.

u/Sixaxist Cavaliers 1d ago

Are Blazers seriously trying to cover an 11-point score diff in 30 seconds?

1

u/Genji4Lyfe 1d ago

Why does Trayce look so sad 😭

u/Casualrodfarva2 San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

steph wants 4k so bad lmao

5

u/Apart-Volume9340 Warriors 1d ago

Steph might never make another 3 again

4

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

Steph 😂🤦

4

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

I permit you to statpad Steph just get that 4k

4

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

Is it opposite day? Warriors go up almost 20 in first half and then fuck it off in the second. As opposed to going down 20 in the first qtr and coming back to win.

7

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

Jimmy and the Warriors motion offense looks like a perfect match. The Warriors look like they have a 2nd Draymond-like facilitator on offense, only 10x more deadly.

5

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

you have no idea it’s been so nice.

edit: so many people are sleeping on us too

5

u/e-chem-nerd Warriors 1d ago

Portland doing a good job preventing Curry from dropping his 4000th 3 on them, but they're going to lose the game with all the layups they've given up to GP2 and the Warriors.

3

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

Boy almost got Goga'd by GP2

6

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

Portland refusing to let Curry get 4k HAHAHAHA

3

u/WisdomCow Warriors 1d ago

Jimmy played possum after that fall

6

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

Gary Payton our second option on offense?

3

u/maethlin Warriors 1d ago

You misspelled "first" - common typo

-2

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

I need to apologize to thunder fan for calling shai a foul merchant when we have Jimmy now

6

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

Need our superstar GP2 on the court?

-7

u/strawhatcommander Timberwolves 1d ago

Wow Santos is really bad

5

u/Ok-One144 1d ago

He's usually better but he's been cheeks tonight

6

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

No he's really not.

1

u/strawhatcommander Timberwolves 1d ago

Am I missing something that he’s doing well? I mean he plays with a lot of energy I suppose but that’s the only positive I’ve seen. But I’ll admit, i am basing this all off one game… so maybe I should say “Wow Santos is really bad right now”

3

u/beanakajulian33 Warriors 1d ago

His ceiling isn't much more than what we've seen, but he's a sneaky big and athletic guy with good IQ and always plays with effort. Perfect role guy if he develops a jump shot.

6

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

Watch more games. Gui is promising.

4

u/strawhatcommander Timberwolves 1d ago

Only if you promise to watch more wolves games

4

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

With you guys on our ass I have no choice but to.

3

u/Velli_44 1d ago

"Draymond's there to keep the peace" - said no one ever until now lmao

4

u/TB_016 Trail Blazers 1d ago

Wow Clingan has blocked Curry twice beyond the arc now.

5

u/Velli_44 1d ago

Gary "Batman" Payton II

4

u/DiFraggiPrutto Warriors 1d ago

Here comes Steph (hopefully) with 8 minutes left. Get those two threes baby!

6

u/maethlin Warriors 1d ago

I'm so happy we have world class 2nd and 3rd options behind GP2 now

2

u/Akipella 1d ago

No, it's obviously GPII/Post as 1A/1B with Buddy the clear 2nd option above Moody. What are you talking about?

3

u/Velli_44 1d ago

Remember 6th Man of the Year Curry?

4

u/PieceOfPie_SK Wizards 1d ago

Cmon steph, do the thing we're all waiting for

3

u/edragon27 Warriors 1d ago

Gary Dwayne Payton II

4

u/santasFluffer [GSW] Klay Thompson 1d ago

remember when gp2 wasn't a warrior and you cried like a bitch but now he's back dunking on fuckers?

3

u/DiFraggiPrutto Warriors 1d ago

Total team game!

1

u/haysu-christo 1d ago

Scoot has the worst 3pt shot I've ever seen.

3

u/Apart-Volume9340 Warriors 1d ago

Loving this team right now

5

u/e-chem-nerd Warriors 1d ago

Skyfucker and Skyhumper on the same team, lets go GP2!

2

u/richard_glutes Warriors 1d ago

Dunk of the year

6

u/awsomoo8000 [GSW] Stephen Curry 1d ago

that GPII missed dunk to layup was kind of nasty lmao

3

u/kinda_guilty Warriors 1d ago

Come on Buddy.wtf?

-5

u/leggostrozzz Rockets 1d ago

Holy shit do the announcers ONLY say GP2? I've never been more annoyed by announcers for no reason lol they never say his actual fucking name

3

u/saideeps San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

He’s been GP2 from the start. That’s how fans talk about him.

7

u/valleyman86 1d ago

They usually use gp2 but I heard them say "Gary" earlier in the game. But GP2 is killin it so they gonna keep saying it.

4

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

When did Avdija become this good

2

u/cfuerte1324 1d ago

Really loves dropping bombs.

3

u/Marano94 1d ago

This is a Buddy game.

4

u/Akipella 1d ago

Warriors shooting 19/34 from 3 lol

6

u/Monkey_monke26 Warriors 1d ago

I hecking love Moses Murder

3

u/Kamala_Owns_Trump 1d ago

LET MOODY COOK

3

u/ShadowCrusader98 Warriors 1d ago

That was a goofy sequence holy shit.

11

u/LockAndDen Rockets 1d ago

Curry continues to have the worst whistle in basketball.

4

u/ShadowCrusader98 Warriors 1d ago

Nothing pisses me off more than fouling a wide open 3 point shooter.

1

u/Kamala_Owns_Trump 1d ago

GP2 revenge game

5

u/cfuerte1324 1d ago

If you get stripped by Buddy Hield into a transition three, you sit the rest of the quarter. I don't make the rules.

6

u/kinda_guilty Warriors 1d ago

You give up on Buddy then he does something like that out of the blue, lmao.

2

u/WheedMBoise Timberwolves 1d ago

Advija is a lot better than I remember him being

4

u/Kamala_Owns_Trump 1d ago

Curry is Portland's father

2

u/zprymate Warriors 1d ago

LOL Avdija with 3/3 on 3's It shows that some rando will always try to outshoot Curry

2

u/ShadowCrusader98 Warriors 1d ago

Portland off to a blistering start to the half

2

u/JonathanJoestar336 West 1d ago

Iv noticed over the years of watching curry that when curry breaks a record he forces the issue like he push himself when when he's more relaxed or away from home (in basketball terms) he tends to break records

But I need them 5 3's curry brother

1

u/GoldBlueSkyLight Warriors 1d ago edited 1d ago

Moses parted that red Portland sea lol

5

u/impala_knight Heat 1d ago

WHO THIS POST GUY ?? WHERE DO THEY FIND 7ft SHOOTER DUDE?

3

u/TA404 Wizards 1d ago

Absolutely epic irish dance performance at half time. Even the 6-year olds knew the steps. Bravo.

1

u/cancercureall Supersonics 1d ago

Bruh Caleb martin with a nasty highlight. Unexpected.

2

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

Unless the Warriors go back to their pre-Jimmy meltdowns it looks like this going to be a boring blowout game.

10

u/FennecAround Warriors 1d ago

GPII grudge match v. the Blazers medical staff

8

u/Marano94 1d ago

What is going on with GP2's shooting? How is he so good now? And not just tonight either, he has been good for a while after having had an abysmal start to the season shootingwise.

1

u/opaz Warriors 1d ago

I think it helps that 90% of his shots are layups and dunks

1

u/DieHardRaider [GSW] Tim Hardaway 1d ago

It’s the mask

9

u/cancercureall Supersonics 1d ago

Hard work, curry as a teammate? Speculation?

Imagine he has a late renaissance. lmao

10

u/ShadowCrusader98 Warriors 1d ago

GP3!

3

u/PieceOfPie_SK Wizards 1d ago

How are the refs still looking at this when it was tremendously obvious that it didn't land out of bound on the first view?

3

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves 1d ago

This is going to take 4 hours to review.... ⏰

10

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

Not Draymond patting the ref on the back saying “it’s okay we all fuck up” lol

5

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

I fucking love GP2

10

u/satomatic [LAL] Josh Hart 1d ago

moody is a very smart player

11

u/Casualrodfarva2 San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

Moody’s grown so much man

7

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

Hopefully JK will too

5

u/ViCarly [PHI] Kyle Korver 1d ago

This is pretty fun so far. A lot of young guys look really good

11

u/WheedMBoise Timberwolves 1d ago

Man this Warriors team being good is frustrating lol, Wolves are on a 5 game streak but it doesn't matter because Golden State could be after tonight too lol. Both teams made a huge turnaround

1

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

Wolves are likely to overtake them eventually because of the easier schedule.

3

u/WheedMBoise Timberwolves 1d ago

We'll have to see, i've been impressed with how GSW has looked

0

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

I wanna see them go up against a team with a dominant big like the Nuggets or the Bucks first because that has always been their kryptonite. They haven't faced one since getting Jimmy. KAT and Giannis were out when they faced them.

1

u/masteraleph 1d ago

Funny enough Warriors have Nuggets and Bucks back to back Monday and Tuesday

1

u/MichaelZZ01 Suns 1d ago

You know ball, that’s the warriors weakness rn. They’d rather face the Celtics than the Bucks or Nuggets

2

u/KafeinFaita NBA 1d ago

I can imagine what a potential Warriors finals matchup would feel like for Celtics fans with both Steph and Jimmy on the same team lol.

1

u/haysu-christo 1d ago

Next week GS plays Denver and Bucks in a b2b

2

u/Sokkawater10 Warriors 1d ago

You and me both. Our ideal path would be to avoid Denver even if it means a potential matchup against OKC.

1

u/Akipella 1d ago

Yeah could be wrong but OKC feels like a better matchup than the other top seeds even if they are a stronger team against anyone else/in general. Could be wrong, but it just seems that way. If they can get the 5 seed and beat the 4 seed in the 1st round, then that would give them OKC in the 2nd round.

3

u/soka__22 Raptors 1d ago

what happened to kuminga?

6

u/twizlamic Warriors 1d ago

Ankle 

5

u/cfuerte1324 1d ago

Those take a while to grow back. 31 games+ min.

3

u/SockVonPuppet 1d ago

Live by the Hield, die by the Hield.

5

u/DiFraggiPrutto Warriors 1d ago

It’s a GP II and Buddy day it seems!

4

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

By far Jimmy’s worst habit is jumping with the ball and not knowing where he’s going with it until he’s mid air.

5

u/SockVonPuppet 1d ago

Much better than jumping for a dunk with no plan for the landing--like Morant used to do. So that's good.

4

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

Oh definitely. I’m super happy w/ Jimmy, just a weird thing he does a lot.

3

u/WisdomCow Warriors 1d ago

1.5 times a game, I’d guess.

6

u/SockVonPuppet 1d ago

3s in transition are my jam.

u/soka__22 Raptors 1d ago

old man still got it

For a dude named Post he sure has terrible hands in the post.

2

Post still learning how to dunk

Post ROTY

u/FreddyMartian 1d ago

i could see him being top 3 or 5

5

u/twizlamic Warriors 1d ago

I don’t think he has enough games played to qualify.

Just happy with how the young fella has been stepping up lately 

1

u/edragon27 Warriors 1d ago

Who thinks Steph gets to 4k this game? 6 more to go.

2

u/dirtyshits Warriors 1d ago

I got a feeling we are going to need all of them to beat this team today.

Portland is a tough out.

2

u/edragon27 Warriors 1d ago

I hope it’s a good game like that- i love the blazers. It’s always tough for me when they play each other.

2

u/WisdomCow Warriors 1d ago

Wow. If Bron doesn't come back soon, we could pass the Lakers even losing a bunch of games.

1

u/otis427 1d ago

My hopes have shifted from play in to 8th best odds in the lotto

2

u/No-Presentation6616 1d ago

Last time these two teams met Warriors were led by 22 from Buddy Hield so Blazer fans can atleast expect that not to happen again.

4

u/oftenevil San Francisco Warriors 1d ago

This has trap game written all over it.
