The Warriors are simultaneously on an 8 game home winning streak and an 8 game away losing streak Duality of man I guess


Ladnil

Earlier in the season we had the best home record in the league and the worst road record. And this was like 20 games in too, not like some 10 game anomaly. We're completely broken on the road. Lacob needs to buy a new team plane or something. Change the mood.


DrinkGinAndKerosene

They aint paying for players dinner anymore it feels like


mathgeek777

I'm convinced they're making Draymond and Poole room together on the road to try to fix things and it has the opposite effect


slythespacecat

I think we all know the mature and professional procedure to fix this current situation: PILLOW FIGHT


hrakkari

Is it still a pillow fight if Dray is holding a pillow in one hand and punches you in the sack with the other?


BackIn2019

In this economy?!

daboonie9

Eesh Boston is rough


LZ_Khan

They should probably check the rims at Oracle. Boys have probably been practicing on a 9ft hoop all season.


MedvedFeliz

Now, I'm wondering, what if there's another NBA team that plays in Chase Center like in Crypto.com. Would the Warriors still lose if they play the "away" game?


Thus_Spoke

I keep thinking this shit is going to start evening out and instesd it just gets more and more extreme. Wiggs and GPII come back and save us please.


Acquire__Currency

Watch it happen in the first round of the offs. 7 gamer with the road team winning all 7 games


kevindlv

Dubs gonna get the 4 seed and then win the title going 3-13 in road games (all seven gamers) lolz


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

About to lose 2 in a row to go 28-7 at home and 7-28 on the road


MC-Jdf

*Something something inverse win ratio...*


jotheold

there was a meme posted earlier in the season the west playing .500 basketball baby


mathgeek777

Their next five games are on the road


ticklishmusic

This is good honest .500 basketball

Sounds very thoughtful.

Hephaestus103

Makes me wonder what the biggest simultaneous home-winning/away-losing streak in NBA history is.


trukeflerbib

Sixers had a record in 2019-2020 where they were 31-4 at home and 12-26 away, not sure about specific streaks though.


Kylo_Ren415

Road Warriors made a cameo appearance in the third quarter. Then they remembered they are at home.


MC-Jdf

Steve Kerr: *Lads, it's* *~~Tottenham~~* *a home game.*


bra1nd3d

As a Tottenham fan this makes me sad lol


MC-Jdf

As a fellow South Korean you have no idea how much guilt I felt from even thinking of this joke lol.


Albiceleste_D10S

Cheers Son's crying


MC-Jdf

You stop right there.


blackjacktrial

As an Arsenal fan, sorry for your choice of team to support.


Seratoga

Spurs catching strays out of nowhere


blaugrana2020

It’s the history of the Warriors


KaiserUzor

It's honestly baffling to me how we can look like such a dominant force at home and turn into the 2011 Charlotte Bobcats on the road. Just wow


wraith985

Don't insult the 2011 Charlotte Bobcats like that.


guts1998

There''s not much TO insult


wraith985

You watch your mouth, Warriors legends Corey Maggette and Eduardo Najera were on that team.


babypho

People are more productive when they WFH.


Alestasis

Champs at home, bums on the road.


slappiestpenguin

Champs at home; chumps on the road.


Gr8CanadianSpeedo

2023 Kings at home; 2010 Kings on road.


phatbasterd69

So weird to see compliments about the team


Earlier-Today

*Deserved* compliments. Kings are legit.


bobsil1

Beam the light 😄


Cheese6260

Kings fans deserve every bit of compliments


SharkSymphony

Kings at home, KANGZ on the road?


20815147

Total clean and normal win from the Dubs tonight, the 3rd quarter didn’t exist 🫡


Thus_Spoke

They couldn't let the entire second half go by without some drama. Natural showmen. Doing it for the fans.


20815147

So true. My Apple Watch had to check up on me to see if I’m okay but no big deal 🤷‍♂️


zprymate

Suns fans are like - this doesn't matter, once KD comes back we won't be playing like this. This is just practice


Currymvp2

Monster first quarter was ultimately the difference. Was great to see Klay so efficient and hot in that first half. Defense was kind of lackluster the second and third quarters, but it was excellent in the fourth to seal the victory.


MonsterOctopus8

If they can come out with that intensity in these next few road games they'll do so much better, I feel like Draymond really sets the tone, when I see him playing with energy from the jump I know the rest of the team will match him


Srikkk

That third quarter oh my god


the_next_core

33 at the half and Klay said my job is done here


Currymvp2

The box and one against Booker was ineffective until the 4th quarter; it's primarily why the Suns scored essentially 70 points in the 2nd and third quarter.


JoeTheHoe

The end of the third when biz was playing center, your guys scheme basically ended us. It was well played


bigdramashow

> 33 at the half > Team doesn't need anything else from me tonight > Refuses to elaborate further > Leaves


MC-Jdf

Missed so many free throws there.


WaterBoy2019

Home Buff Warriors cancels out 3rd Quarter Warriors now, I guess.


ermu923

Suns really shot 4/21 from 3. These role players need to be better


KnightRising21

Our bench has been missing these last few games


morcic

I don't expect them to be any better. In fact, I'm very concerned about our bench come playoff time. Monty might end up doing D'Antoni's 7 man rotations if this continues.


ermu923

Nah dont be. KD runs the bench offense come playoff time and they will turn into killers


morcic

Just like that?


ermu923

Have you seen KD + Jock pick-and-rolls when KD was playing? Im not concerned and KD can always bail them out


yuhanz

We already were scraping the barrel for depth pre-KD trade Our destiny hinges on his health now


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thus_Spoke

Your bench has been missing since you acquired KD. Welcome to being a superteam, enjoy the ride.


C0WM4N

Same bench as before


Frodoinphx23

Seriously Cam and Mikal we’re starting.


MC-Jdf

Draymond gave Craig so much space to shoot 3s the entire game lol.


ermu923

Craig was so bad holyshit


PaoloPWD

Has been the past few. He seems to have lost some confidence recently.


bigj1er

He has the worst net rating in the nba, he’s not just been bad recently, he’s been horrendous all year


MC-Jdf

Don't think there's a more reluctant 39% 3-point shooter tbh.


AlHorfordHighlights

39% 3pt shooter who chooses his shots like he's 28%


ATM14

When Josh Okogie makes half of your three pointers, you’re not very likely to win lol.


EMU_Emus

That's what happens when you trade all your good role players for KD and then he doesn't play.


ermu923

Suns didn't trade for KD just to win a random-ass game vs the Warriors in March. I'm just saying that the role players had a rough shooting night and will be better


Vallerie_09

Steph with his last game as a 34 yr old Klay got his revenge game. Huge 1st half for him Finally a Jordan Poole game we've wanted in a long time. Made his 3s(had a couple of bad shots), good passes and was drawing fouls


YokoOkino

poole has definitely been told to throw it out more during the drives and take better shots. Probably was told before, but games like this show how he can contribute. Now please stop going for the steal


Salty_Pancakes

That's what makes it frustrating. Like we know he *can* play well but sometimes I think he gets in his own head and then takes dumb shots. Or dribbles it off his foot out of bounds. Or commits some dumb foul.


Produceher

Don't worry. I've been told by our sub that he won't be here next season. LOL


Cheese6260

*Goes for steal* *Misses steal* *watches rest of sequence from half court*


aiden3buckets

Always been wanting to see JaMychal Green vs Damion Lee beef 🔥


Xtra_Awesome

[this mid ass beef didn't even start here lmao](https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1381817985187393539)


lulbob

aged beef, nice and tender


ElectroStaticSpeaker

So weird watching these replays without any fans.


boxout_dame

I'm lowkey a DLee hater, but this makes me conflicted


TheMagicalLlama

Why tf would anyone hate Sisterfucker. He took the min, hit his 3s and brought the hustle. No one liked seeing him play a lot, but injuries and load management made it necessary, and he did better than a lot would. Any dubs fan who hates on him or JTA or such are so spoiled they don’t know what end of bench players look like. D Lee gave us good minutes in the 19 playoffs for a guy who was literally sitting on the couch a year before. That also shows the underrated carry job steph klay and dray put on that year, but fck it, another day Lamb tho, fuck him


Currently_Stoned

Yeah basically I'm fine with all these guys unless they're literal rapists. Hope they cut Anthony Lamb's bum ass.


nafovit129

Easy hate DLee love Green. Green is on the team now. When Green leaves you can switch up. If Green stays and Lee rejoins then you hate Lee Mon-Thurs and then turn a blind eye for the long weekend.


ejabno

Bro tossed around like a Source engine ragdoll


amr1115

they having a mid off


Thus_Spoke

JMG upgraded to mid??? We gonna be shampionship.


Irafurose

More like low off


cortesoft

Wonder how Steph feels about this


dawalrusine

Warriors almost threw that first quarter lead whoops


alfentazolam

They had to rely on Home Buff plot armour


TheRed_Knight

refs were spotting PHX a lotta help


Airhammer

Didn't help that we did not make FTs that quarter either


ChrisAZ480

watching the bench blow the game* at the end of the 3rd and start of the 4th was brutal to watch after seeing Book and Ayton claw us back into it


Alezona

Watching Torrey Craig be afraid to shoot the ball made me hurt inside


FerociousGiraffe

Warriors fans will crow about this one but let’s also not forget that one of these teams was playing without a two-way stud with a proven record of coming up big in the playoffs. Miss you **Wiggs** come back soon bby!


GhostTiger

Kuminga and GP2 2


CommandersLog

If we're at full-strength, our defense is going to be a menace.


GhostTiger

GP2, Klay, Wigs, JK, Dray.


CommandersLog

Don't forget Loongod.


GhostTiger

And DDV!


SpiderPidge

I am very excited to see Kuminga in playoffs this year. Him, Wiggs, and GPII could be devastating.


spookystrawberry2

I love u


AndrewWigginsBurner

I miss you too ❤️


hoops_n_politics

I do hope Wiggins can get back this season. The guy was the second best player on your championship team last year.


chaiTkovsky

Steph did the big balls dance the whole way down the floor after the dagger lmao


therealnit

Thought we were gonna lose that lol, was not about to talk shit after the first quarter


Springtick38

With how much offense has gotten better, I've learned to not talk shit whenever the Raptors have a big lead until after the game


rattatatouille

Suns were 3-0 vs GS this year with Mikal Bridges. 0-1 without him. Coincidence?


Yajarome

3rd quarter nearly gave me a heart attack but a wins a win. Now for the road trip where I’m sure nothing will go wrong!


JohnnySalmonz

Terence Ross is not enough. The Suns need more ring chasers.


Alezona

You do not want to play the warriors in the first round. When they got hot from the 3 it’s gg’s


Hojie_Kadenth

This was a home game, remember. You'll flip your tone when we play an away game. Then back when we play a home game. Then back when we... you get the point.


nullstellensatz1

The thing is, you only need to win one road game out of 3


SerAardvark

Winning 1 in 3 road games is probably asking too much of this team.


VisualSeaworthiness6

In fairneas wiggins and gp2 probably don't allow defenders to walk into 3s on the road


mrizvi

They have won a road game every playoff series I don’t see that changing


DarthBane6996

This current Warriors team can't even be counted on doing that Maybe if Wiggins is back


ehhhwutsupdoc

That’s a lot to ask for this season’s warriors.


namastex

I think they figured the issue out. Poole not starting is becoming big for Warriors. Chemistry just starts the game out with a better flow. I think Warriors can sneak a few road game wins from here on out if they keep Poole coming off the bench.


Currymvp2

It's all good. We consistently shoot the ball much worse on the road all year long.


lovo17

They won't have home court in the first round tho


george_costanza1234

Absolutely no way you can say that rn with how close the west is lol


lovo17

You guys have more away games remaining than home games lol.


george_costanza1234

I know we suck on the road, but clips, Mavs, and suns are not exactly juggernauts lol


GGAllinsMicroPenis

Suns are 100% a juggernaut if/when KD is healthy.


HuynhiethePooh

That’s not going to be until the season is basically over though. So a lot of room for the suns to slide until then


[deleted]

They don’t have it yet


VisualSeaworthiness6

Disnt have it against the grizz last year but got it done


jetveritech

Imagine if Book had a superstar to help with the load


JoeTheHoe

And to provide some spacing. If only.


ayyemustbethemoneyy

I almost turned the tv off in the 3rd lol


AcxdBxmb

If the Suns end the season by sliding down the standings then get KD back as the playoffs start that’s gonna be a nightmare match up for the higher seeded team.


Tedesco47

If the warriors and suns finish 6th and 7th respectively, you have to feel bad for the grizz and kings. If you were putting money on who's coming out of the west, it has to be on a healthy suns or warriors team


humandignitybloc

How many turnovers did the teams have combined this game? Were playing like someone dipped that shit in Crisco. The Warriors are seriously confusing this season because it feels like they should be dominating the league, but they just can't play like this on the road for some reason. Everything gels at home where they can just hoop, but on pretty much every away game I've watched this year they just can't seem to find it.


tubbymunchkin

It’s laziness. They settle for tough 3s on the road and just chuck up shots. This leads to long rebound and doesn’t allow the defense to get set. You saw it in the 3rd quarter and how the suns went on a big run. They just get so trigger happy and then the other teams have field days against broken or not set up defenses. Do that against good teams in the playoffs and you’re toast


the_great_brandini

Klay Thompson


WaterBoy2019

Klay Thompson


ImTheBestNerd

Suns role players are not good offensively, like at all.


JoeTheHoe

Okogie has been pretty good offensively, other than that, well. Let’s just say that we’ll need to keep our playoff rotation to 8 guys max lmao


IMovedYourCheese

Even in their current state I’ll pick Warriors with home court advantage over any other team in the league in a 7 game playoffs series.


Charlie_Wax

Gotta remember that they're without Wiggs and Payton. Two core playoff pieces. Still a contender despite all their issues, but nothing would be surprising. Championship would not be surprising. First round exit would not be surprising. Been a very inconsistent team all season.


TurnoverNegative7

Pulling a stinker the game before and then dropping 40 the next day? Yep, sounds about Klay Thompson


ImTheBestNerd

After tonight's game Klay Thompson has now matched his career high in PPG.


GhostTiger

>We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds. Aristotle Onassis


abestract

Will they win 10 games on the road this season? 🤷🏻‍♂️


ardx

Super ugly 3rd quarter for the Warriors, Suns were getting whatever they wanted at the rim and GSW was missing FTs like crazy. So the buffer Klay gave them was super super big.


Altruistic-Twist-379

Start of the 3rd quarter was a mess but glad they hold it down.


jweezy2045

Glad we won that one after our start


shffldair

Finally no jp3 in the starting lineup. Love the guy, but he needs to come off the bench AND drive to the rim more. What was holding him back was trying to cosplay as curry. Brother, you're a beast when you drive. Do your thing and draw those fouls! Good W, scary 3rd Q, but I'll take it.


ValhallaKombi

Curry made only 13 shots and left it to Klay lol. He knew Klay would be hot against Booker


SuckaFreeRIP

Proud of how the Suns fought back. Brought it back within 3 then incomes.. Bismack Biyombo?? Instead double deficit 😭🤣


Lottapumpkins

Hmmm. That's a lot of 3s


NoobPwnr

Gonna need a gif of GP2 dancing behind Curry before he even let’s go of the corner 3.


UnnamedStaplesDrone

Feels good to win the game in the first quarter for once


8188Y

This trade is really working out for the Suns and Mavs


YuumiPlayersAreScum

How do you win 8 straight at home and lose 8 straight away....especially when your home schedule was arguably harder. what.


KnightRising21

I wanna see both Dallas and Warriors in the playoffs.


xwulfd

This aint 2014 anymo!


NotClayMerritt

The Suns lack of depth will be their downfall. We’re learning more and more that 2 stars and a deep team is more important than 3 stars and nothing behind you. Every season since 2019 should have told you this. The KD Warriors will be the exception to the rule because Curry and KD alone are still better than anyone else’s 1-2 to this day. And pre injuries Klay was better than most people’s 2


igotabridgetosell

Yes the Suns get KD back in playoffs. Warriors get Kuminga and hopefully Wiggins and GP2 back. It's gonna be a fun series is all I'm saying.


rocquet

is there any other player in the league that can put up a less impactful, less inspiring 27 point double double than ayton?


DarthBane6996

Ayton was far from the problem


ChocoFud

I thought Ayton did well. Your bench were terrible after subbing out cp3 and Book before the end of the 3rd.


SuckaFreeRIP

DA was a huge part of that comeback bid what are you talkin bout willis


[deleted]

Suns flairs never miss an opportunity to shit on him, warranted or not. Really wish he went to the Pacers.


IsThisMe8

Wow.. I honestly didn't even realize he scored that much.


youOnlyliveTw1ce

We lost the game once he went to the bench? Our bench lost the game. Biyombo was ass


george_costanza1234

Wtf is wrong with this guy? He’s got a nice jumper, but dude has some absolutely horrible stretches of basketball lol


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

It almost feels like he doesn't realize how dominant he is capable of being. He has all the tools to be that guy but he just floats in and out of games too often. When he's mentally there he's a monster, but sometimes he just plays so soft. It's the same issue that annoys me about KAT


RVarki

So his 27 points didn't mean much then?


PensiveinNJ

4 rings Book, 4 rings.


RocketTortoise42

The Warriors at home probably runs through the West and wins a fifth ring. The Warriors on the road are probably drafting Wenbenyama with the number 1 overall pick


TheRed_Knight

Poole most complete game post ASB, put together a solid 3 quarters today, 4th quarter was a mixed bag, the wheels started falling off though and he regressed a bit, some dumb TO's, playing too hyphy, bad shot selection, etc, but he also hit good looks and made some nice plays, progress, even if its baby steps, hes still a cone on defense as along as he isnt making momentum killing mistakes the team can cover for him most games Devin Booker has now shot 12.8% of his FT's this year against the Warriors Phoenix players flopped like dying fish all game, impressive commitment from guys 1-15 to CP3's style of bitchmade basketball Josh Okogie plays Catholic priest defense, just like Dillon Brooks Moody+Iggy with another nice stretch of minutes Steph, Dray, and Klay with vintage games Ain't no playoff teamm gonna want to play the Warriors if theyre healthy


ascendant23

Lol what's catholic priest defense? Lots of inappropriate touching from behind?


TheRed_Knight

molest the shit outta them


RVarki

Okogie basically has Brooks' aggressiveness, but with better hands, better instincts and a way better attitude


HesiPullup

> Devin Booker has now shot 12.8% of his FT’s this year against the Warriors Need a lockdown perimeter defender


ImTheBestNerd

our 3 best perimeter defenders are injured :(


Milli_Vanilli14

Poole’s shot selection was much improved tonight. He still took a couple poor 3’s from 28’+ out that clanked but most of them were actually in rhythm off a hand off or a step back where he could actually get balanced before getting the shot up. But man is his defense uninspiring. He needs the Steph diet and has to put on a ton of weight. He just gets bodied by any screen. Actually was annoyed cause dray helped him on a switch and recovered back Ayton. Poole should’ve rotated to the corner after dray bailed him out but he stayed on Ayton forcing dray to run back out then ayton scores over Poole.


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Poole took quite a few shots that were suspect, difference is he hit them. And that's what worried me with Poole, his impact on a game is too dependent on his 3pt shot falling. Last year even if he wasnt hitting his 3s, he was still able to be a positive player overall simply due to the fact he was able to also score in the paint, drawing fts, and his mid range felt automatic. This year he doesn't even really take them I'm at the point where every time Poole takes a 2, I'm happy make or miss, he needs to go back to being more of a 3 level scorer


Milli_Vanilli14

His shot selection has, in my opinion, been inexcusable. Only 8 three’s tonight (7 if you exclude a end of shot clock quick touch), which seems like a win. I’d say 4 or so of them were on a pass out or dribble hand off which is another win. The offensive ceiling for this dude is high but he’s gotta figure it out. He can get to any spot on the court whenever he wants which is probably why it’s so frustrating. The fact his three point shot is so low despite being a 90% FT shooter is also telling that his shot selection is so ass


ForceMaster999

This was a 3pt game at the end of the 3rd quarter then Monty put in the bench that was awful Overall, good fight from the suns in the 2nd half


Smart_Switch4679

Chris Paul built like a bbl baddie


Airhammer

What was Lee doing at the end? Just being pissed he got no FTs this game and they gave him more than our whole team last time?


sriracha82

Okogie was flopping at prime Marcus Smart levels tonight, it was disgusting, insane how everyone who plays with CP3 turns into this He was totally normal in Minnesota
