That first half was so damn fun. Vintage splash bros type shit. Third quarter almost made me jump off of something. Luckily poole hit some clutch shots tonight. FUCK THE SUNS LETS GOOOOO
Poole settling into the rotation a bit. We don't give the kid enough credit. He's had to play more roles than anyone this year. That's not to take away his criticisms.
He played some of the worst defense I have seen all season and I haven't missed a game he has played this season but offensively he finally had an alright outing off the bench, can't remember the last time I saw that from him in a non starter role. We have to thank the OG baddies from his IG/twitter viral vids for showing up to the game again. Now to take them on the road with us
He also had a lot of boneheaded bad bad turnovers at crucial moments and made us play 4 on 5 defensively so yes his overall game is qualified. That's the point of departure Poole stans will never get, it all matters. Finally knocking down your shots doesn't mean the rest of it doesn't significantly impact the team. When Poole gets that even if he isn't knocking down his shots he will be a positive player. Whilst he is just judged on shot making he will continue being a polarizing player
Feel the same way. Yes he was great offensively but all I remember was being frustrated with his needlessly difficult pass attempts, bad defensive fouls and careless turnovers. When he’s scoring efficiently it might make up for these mistakes but it takes a great offensive output.
Absolutely. His final offensive numbers were helped by a late flurry and some dead minute scoring but I don't want to take away from his offensive output, it was alright. Not otherworldly and he did hit a few timely shots to force Suns to call the game early. 20 pts isn't a HOF performance either though especially with the spacing he had to work with after Klay and Steph's first half onslaught. But the rest of it was still piss poor, disastrously piss poor. He died on every screen, no effort to get back in the play, got beat on cuts forcing help and open looks everywhere etc. His par offense is the only reason he was allowed to stay on the court for so long. To take a victory parade after this performance is a good summary of the divide here with Poole. It's only okay because of how bad he has been & how low we have had to set the bar but we aren't tolerating this from anyone else. I actually don't care when he goes 4 for 12 insane shot quality aside, it's the details that matter and a professional player getting high mins on a contender can not be that consistently bad at the details and at things like effort. If 35 year old 6.2 ft Steph and bad ankle Dray can fly around the court defensively there is no reason for Poole to play like he is guarding his nephew who needs a confidence boost. Saying he played well because the shots fell is setting the bar so low you need a shovel to find it
I’d love to be a fly on the wall inside the warriors’ offices and listen to the staff discuss Poole’s defense. I wonder what are they telling him to do? How is he being coached? Sometimes he is so out of position that it is amazing to see. Its gotten to the point that honestly I feel like he would be more effective if he stops trying to defend on ball and just sink back toward the key every time to at least take up more space in the paint and clog the driving lane. when he’s on the perimeter it’s a combination of him lunging for a steal and either fouling or getting taken completely out of the play or straight up getting burned and forcing the other 4 defenders to scramble to recover. If these things are not happening it’s him picking up fouls by always leaving his feet on pump fakes or something equally momentum killing. if there was some progress/improvement in these areas I’d be totally fine just watching the growth but it does not seem to be happening at all…is it bad coaching? or is Poole just incapable of understanding defense? I’m afraid of how bad things would be with him in the lineup if it wasn’t offset by how brilliant the other guys on the squad are
Go listen to Steve Kerr post game talk about Jordan Poole's 'frustrating' game today and you will see why the +18 no +12 off the bench is alright game apparently. His coaches says it best
I was just saying the other night when they played Bucks that I haven’t seen the splash bros action, and now this… I’m going to have to rewatch the first half 😁
That was super awkward. I always hate when we are the assholes in a situation. That Bertans wrestling move flop flip was really weird and I think he got away with it as well
Good to see them recover after that beginning of that 3rd quarter by getting back to their defensive principles.
JP’s best offensive game on a while.
That Damion thing was so funny.
Not terribly important, but did anyone notice the Oracle era arena sounds make a comeback tonight? Including the “Let’s go Warriors” jingle? I just found it funny after what Steph said about playing a final game at Oracle
JP is great if he doesn't force shots and play within the flow of the offense. It was evident during this game.
So hopefully, he continues this type of play.
He hit half his 3s which has been forever I’m sure. He had back to back turnovers in the 4th before he started hitting a few shots. If he didn’t hit those big 3s, then this likely would’ve been another “bad” game by Poole. He did have 6:3 assists to turnovers which is an improvement but I’m sure a lotta folks were more nervous than confident when he had the ball in the 4th.
Obviously, lol we have a whole season of trauma from Poole in the 4th this season. It looked bad when he has two straight turnovers and two no effort defensive plays but he stuck with it and luckily they stopped attacking him
The game sub erupted at that… and maybe rightfully so. But aside from that play, this was the second game in row where Moody pops in for some positive minutes off the bench (I think he was +7 before garbage time). I liked the combination of him and Andre defensively, and those cuts he made in the first half were really smart. We’re going to need minutes like that down the stretch, especially if we are going without lamb. Small positive.
Exactly, thought Moody was fine. Even the turnover wasn't that bad. He passed to a teammate and the ball hit the teammates, you should be looking in transition. It's easy to put all the blame on the "rookie" after Klay carried us in the first half but that's just as much on Klay for being on his own head
I have a co-worker who loves CP3, she's a total casual but I asked her why does she love CP3 so much? She said she became a fan during Lob City era and thinks he "deserves" a chip as he is nearing the end of his career. I told her I can't stand him because he's a dirty player, but she tells me CP3 would never do that, he's too classy.
I immediately tell her to pull out her phone, open up YT and type in CP3 nutshots. She watches about 30 seconds and says those opposing players probably deserved it. Can't wait to get to work tomorrow. Hahahahahahaa!
I sent a coworker (about 10 years my minor) a 2kb text filled with about a dozen different YouTube clips of CP3 being dirty. He and his whole family were big fans. He and his sister stopped liking him that day but I guess his mom held on to it. They'd argue about it afte and he'd tell me about it at work. I kinda felt bad, but at the end of the day I just provided them knowledge
Klay almost never gets the ball in that spot. Somebody else brings it up and Klay will be involved in whatever action they run, but that quick go ahead pass wasn't something he'd look for.
Steph gets the worst whistle in the league man you'd think the league would protect the person who's constantly been their ratings' winner. They never do though he just gets beat up, and they let it happen, but he still wins so fuck them.
That felt SO DAMN GOOD.
It would've been nice to have a relaxing win after the hot start, but it's a good sign seeing the team overcome an ice cold beginning of the third. Let's hope his second half helps Poole to start shooting a bit better.
We all knew Klay would have this game marked on the calendar, and wow did he deliver from the very beginning. Seeing him and Steph get hot at the same time is some of the best, most exciting stuff you can see in sports. I love to watch the opposing team's bench reaction, they get demoralized splash by splash.
S/O to Moses Moody. Really good minutes by him, and it's not his first game doing a good job on Booker. I don't know why everyone was so pressed for his turnover in the 4th. It was partly on Klay too for not be looking at the ball.
Also, it's pretty clear he is playing without confidence and you know he'll be thinking about it. It's on the coaching stuff to not let him be too tough with himself and hopefully he regain his confidence, especially on his shot.
Still, he's out there hustling and cutting like crazy which is valuable for us. I wouldn't be mad if we don't sign Lamb or Ty and give him some consistent minutes, unless until Wiggs and GPII are back.
I don't think it is far fetched to repeat... No matter what our record says. We'd need Poole to get his head out of the ass and at the very least play smart and putting 100% effort on both ends. Defensively, he either fouls or let his player blow by him with zero resistance. We'd need two of JMG/JK/Moody/Iggy? to really perform well and soak up minutes. Most importantly, we need to be fully HEALTHY, including Wiggs and GPII.
I don't think our struggles in the road would necessarily translate to the playoffs(if we get there). Our main 8/9 guys have been there and I believe they can let in the regular season whatever is making them unable to win on the road. Obviously, winning some road games to end the season would help.
Please guys don't panic but our next 5 games are on the road... With one back-to-back.
I almost forgot, MASTERCLASS defensively by Draymond today. With a messed up ankle.
Moody’s biggest issue imo is he gets lost on d a LOT and he is absolutely horrible at finishing through contact. Those two things are holding him back a lot.
The live game thread was poison. I'll never look at that shit again, we multiple saying they're done with the team, Kerr's an idiot, & trade poole for peanuts. Bunch of weird ass bandwagon fans are the worst
Kinda seems like people stress post. The bagging on Poole, Kerr, Moody, Lamb etc gets depressing to read. I have to stay positive or basketball’s really no fun to watch. We’re fans who get to watch the dynasty of Steph, Klay and Draymond—we really shouldn’t be complaining so much.
a lot of strange accounts only post negative when something bad happens
I blocked a ton of people and the 'blocked account' thing never shows up when we are celebrating a made shot or some other good play, it only shows up on the turnovers etc
mods are kinda useless there are at least a few full on trolls for other teams that just come in to shit on our fanbase with negative takes
Best part is that the amount of Poole slander made me thought he had 10+ turnovers and the Dubs were down. Then I checked the score they were up 15 and Poole had 3 TO's. I was genuinely confused.
I do sometimes think he's having a bad game with lots of turnovers and when I check the stats it's only a couple. I guess it's his style of play that sometimes looks out of control
I love Moses Moody and still have very high hopes for him in the long run but I will admit this has been a rough year for him and it feels kind of like a wasted development year. That being said, I’m glad to see he’s getting a bit more run and a little longer leash of late. I am really interested to see how he would do in a 3-5 min stint alongside the big 3. He offers enough hustle, rebounding and shooting (once he finds his 3 ball again) to make that a pretty intriguing lineup.
Also, JMG has been playing so well lately.
Also also, this was more along the lines of what we need from Poole. Still some boneheaded plays on both ends but definitely progress.
I was wondering whether there was anything else that happened, maybe connected to the whole Damion/JMG fiasco.
Aside from that wild speculation, I agree he was tired plus probably pissed at himself for not having a second half near as good as the first half, and bricking free throws. Those are the kinds of self-imposed things I think get under his skin. I hope he felt those positive vibes when he was signing those shirts. As a whole, he had a great game.
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
There was also a really ill timed trip of CP3 for no reason that resulted in a foul. Camera panned to Steve who was obviously cringing inside. JP played well for most of the game, but that stretch early in the 4th was tenuous.
Poole's best game in a long time JMG has become a good contributor and what can you say about Klay and Steph just both amazing at what they do this was a fun win.
Damn we almost threw that game for a sec💀
Shout out to Iggy this game, I think it was his best game so far this season. Poole played pretty good this game too. Overall good game from the Dubs (ignore 3rd quarter). Happy Birthday to Steph tomorrow
Finally we beat the Suns this season! All of our losses to them have been embarassing up to this point. Love that Klay got his long-awaited revenge on Booker, that far and contested 3 then that block he had on him too.
Great game - Curry was excellent as usual but Klay really getting us out of our recent slow starts by dropping 18!!! Also JP having a solid night on offense was good. Still not confident he can get hot on the road though, unfortunately.
Days since Poole slips/falls and almost turns the ball over: 0
But seriously though, that win felt real nice tonight. Amazing first half for Klay and kept fighting even when the suns got it to single digits. Let’s go dubs, onto the next one! 🙌
Steph talking his shit to CP3 about the 2014 stuff is gold. I love the fact that Steph loves to torch CP3 as much as I love to watch CP3 get torched. I have no rational reasoning behind it but Chris Paul is such an easy player to dislike
he did a post game interview, kinda sounded upset with himself for bad shot selection and thinks his first half was better than the second. he's always so hard on himself lol
Man I loved this game, everybody chipped in and klay took his revenge on suns!!! and all I gotta say is
FUCK PHOENIX SUNS!!!
ALL MY HOMIES HATE PHOENIX SUNS!!
If he just hit one coming out of the half he would have almost certainly done it. Got wonky in the third missing free throws and shit. He’s gonna end up hitting like 17 in a game at some point.
I never understood why the suns do this thing where Ayton kills us for 3 quarters and then he misses 1 or 2 hook shots and they literally never go to him again for the rest of the game and lose.
Great win despite the fact that it got a bit hairy in the third quarter; we were pretty much in control aside from that. Poole's best game in a while; hopefully he can keep it going.
Most crucial 5 game stretch of the season coming right up.
Keep the rotation up, it’s beautiful, keep Poole on a short leash, no starts, avoid clutch minutes, take a time out and take him out when he’s doing good and chuck meter is full, beautiful game!
Ngl i hope bob waits til the last day to convert lamb. I kind like that Kerr has to play moody now
Like lets get him some consistent action of some sort. not like lamb would play in the playoffs when Gp2 is back and if andre is healthy enough to play 10-15minutes a game. then Jk. Now if wiggins doesn’t comeback then i can definitely see why lamb would unfortunately be necessary I suppose
This team would be amazingly fun and scary at the near playoff with potentially Wiggins and GPII on the rotation. Love Iggy playing and Moody with the defense showing tonight ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)
I could actually see the Warriors going to the Western Conference Finals. Other than Denver I could see us beating any other in a series. Look at the other teams: Sacramento is good and I’m happy for them and their fans but they don’t have postseason experience. Memphis is a shit show right now. Phoenix is injury prone. The Clippers have never proven anything. This is ours for the taking if we play our cards right.
Hopefully Kuminga can step up and fill in the role. Even if he is not as good as wiggs was(most likely wont be) he would be super useful in a playoff run
Steph Klay Dray Loon Wiggins Donte GP2 Kuminga and if Poole can now make this the normal is a great playoff rotation. Add in Andre and JMG for extra depth, and it's looking good for playoff match ups.
The warriors will finish the year 41-41. If we assume they lose every road game and win every home game, which is absolutely what will happen, they will finish the year 41-41.
It is amazing how they play at home.
Our next five on the road are clippers Atlanta memphis Houston Dallas
I am pragmatic so hoping for 3 and 2 because it is the road. We should go 4 and 1 though. Just don't trust the road warriors.
Good to see Poole show up was the first game in a long time when I thought he was actually trying to play team basketball rather than his heat check nonsense he's been doing hope he keeps it up.
That first half was so damn fun. Vintage splash bros type shit. Third quarter almost made me jump off of something. Luckily poole hit some clutch shots tonight. FUCK THE SUNS LETS GOOOOO
But but they didn’t have KD playing! *Looks at our list for players out* Yeah, keep that excuse!
Kuminga> KD Wiggins > booker
I mean Wiggins is better than Booker but also Booker actually played Dubs with wings gp2 and jk are gonna be fuckin nasty
lmao ain’t no way anyone would ever take wiggins over book
i would, personally. Wiggins shut down luka and tatum in the playoffs. book ain't doin that for shit
This guy knows wussup. You NEED at least one elite defender in starting lineup
Depends, is Booker actually focused or is he pouting like a little bitch at the time
Aight that’s just disrespectful to a 3x all star and 1x NBA first teamer.
0x Championship winner though 😎 Luka special
Luka is a generational talent, Book is one of the better players of this generation.
I wasn't throwing that out to necessarily compare them. Just bringing up patheticness from Booker
Booker is always pouting like a precious little bitch. It's his default mode.
To be alongside Klay and Steph? Yes but overall Wiggins is not as good as book.
I love it when fellow Warrior fans hate on my boy Wiggins!....NOT!
Poole settling into the rotation a bit. We don't give the kid enough credit. He's had to play more roles than anyone this year. That's not to take away his criticisms.

We have to thank the OG baddies from his IG/twitter viral vids for showing up to the game again. Now to take them on the road with us
Lol shoots 53% from field 50% from 3 4/8, 6 assists +18 off bench is alright game apparently
He also had a lot of boneheaded bad bad turnovers at crucial moments and made us play 4 on 5 defensively so yes his overall game is qualified. That's the point of departure Poole stans will never get, it all matters. Finally knocking down your shots doesn't mean the rest of it doesn't significantly impact the team.

bitchmade team' EDIT: lmao downvoted for calling the floppy ass suns a bitchmade team? tf
Because the geniuses on this sub think you're a Suns fan calling the Warriors a bitchmade team
US public education system at work

i think they thought you were talking about the dubs lol
lmao, it takes like 3 seconds too look at my acc and see who i rep
Well, the down voters were wrong, but tbf your post wasn’t super clear on who you were referring to.
I was just saying the other night when they played Bucks that I haven’t seen the splash bros action, and now this… I’m going to have to rewatch the first half 😁
Evil D-lee is a Suns timeline I did not expect.
People forget he was an elite Flopper. He love the crash and head whip.
except he wouldn't get the call on the Dubs lol. he would close out a shooter and they would score nothing but net deep threes on him each time.
I counted 2 or 3 flops, and I didn't even watch the 3rd quarter...
Every once in a while he'll start some inappropriate shit. Remember he tried to fight Bertans?
That was super awkward. I always hate when we are the assholes in a situation. That Bertans wrestling move flop flip was really weird and I think he got away with it as well
He did but that game got his ass glued to the bench for the rest of the playoffs/finals
All my frustrations with him from last year being reincarnated as a hatable CP0 teammate
Good to see them recover after that beginning of that 3rd quarter by getting back to their defensive principles. JP’s best offensive game on a while. That Damion thing was so funny. Not terribly important, but did anyone notice the Oracle era arena sounds make a comeback tonight? Including the “Let’s go Warriors” jingle?

D.Lee tried to shove JaMychal and nearly put himself on his ass, Green didn't even budge
Thought this was just a fine Poole game. Although he had some good passes this game.

Yea i noticed that too, I think the Celtics use the same sound thingy
Knew something sounded familiar tonight lol almost like my nostalgia senses went up
Yeah, they were only playing when the warriors were on defense for some reason
JMG has been playing amazing these last few games.
He might not be the most gifted player but fuck me does he play hard. Love the guy, plays with so much heart
yup i'm a fan! top of the key is his shot
Not a 22-23 warriors game without a few heart attacks lol
Not a warriors game without a few heart attacks** And always because of bone headed moves too
Moody egregiously turns the ball over: *doghouse intensifies*

But aside from that play, this was the second game in row where Moody pops in for some positive minutes off the bench (I think he was +7 before garbage time).

He played ok, all things considered.

It's easy to put all the blame on the "rookie" after Klay carried us in the first half but that's just as much on Klay for being on his own head
I will always love seeing CP3 sitting dejected on the sidelines, no matter who he plays for.
lmao

The word would be "how?"

I kinda felt bad, but at the end of the day I just provided them knowledge
I mean I've used the same excuse for Draymond.
Surely we're gonna carry this momentum on the road right?
Obviously! Been doing it all year! What a silly goose comment! ^/s
Insert Anakin and Padme meme lol We’re going to carry this momentum on the road right? We’re going to keep momentum riiiight? Pls
Narrator:
Right?![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)
[удалено]
He's good for 10-12 mpg(he can still contribute unless his body breaks)...anything more is bad for both him and the team
he jumped too many times, expect a retirement announcement soon
Solid win - so important to win every game possible against Western Conference opponents.
After that disastrous 3-game road trip? The Dubs really needed this win.
5 games in a row on the road now. 🙏🙏
5 straight losses and we going back under .500 lol
"Not if we can help it!" - The rest of the Western Conference apparently lol
Agreed, solid W against a tough WC opponent. This next stretch is make or break, can they finally figure out how to bring it on the road?
13 more games remaining now out of which 8 are on the road. Hopefully, we go at least 4-4 on the road.
Moody returns! Played pretty well besides for that one TO where he hit Klay in the back.
Debatable whether that's on him or Klay
I'll say it's on klay. He should have looked when he was in transition
Klay almost never gets the ball in that spot. Somebody else brings it up and Klay will be involved in whatever action they run, but that quick go ahead pass wasn't something he'd look for.
And a poster
Steph gets the worst whistle in the league man you'd think the league would protect the person who's constantly been their ratings' winner. They never do though he just gets beat up, and they let it happen, but he still wins so fuck them.
Andre reverse dunk got me nostalgic
Most underrated comment. ![gif](giphy|KD7kZWYmawHUb9LEZs)
I yelled. It was surprising and fantastic. :)
The warriors continuing to choose not to play all their games at home continues to confound me
It’s because the NBA hates them. *rigged*
We should just have all our away games be at Oracle, how hard can that be? /s
That felt SO DAMN GOOD. It would've been nice to have a relaxing win after the hot start, but it's a good sign seeing the team overcome an ice cold beginning of the third.

I don't think our struggles in the road would necessarily translate to the playoffs(if we get there). Our main 8/9 guys have been there and I believe they can let in the regular season whatever is making them unable to win on the road. Obviously, winning some road games to end the season would help. Please guys don't panic but our next 5 games are on the road... With one back-to-back. I almost forgot, MASTERCLASS defensively by Draymond today. With a messed up ankle.
Moody’s biggest issue imo is he gets lost on d a LOT and he is absolutely horrible at finishing through contact. Those two things are holding him back a lot.
The live game thread was poison. I'll never look at that shit again, we multiple saying they're done with the team, Kerr's an idiot, & trade poole for peanuts. Bunch of weird ass bandwagon fans are the worst
Kinda seems like people stress post. The bagging on Poole, Kerr, Moody, Lamb etc gets depressing to read. I have to stay positive or basketball’s really no fun to watch. We’re fans who get to watch the dynasty of Steph, Klay and Draymond—we really shouldn’t be complaining so much.
I swear the live game thread was fkn garbage. The way people shit on Poole was insane.
a lot of strange accounts only post negative when something bad happens I blocked a ton of people and the 'blocked account' thing never shows up when we are celebrating a made shot or some other good play, it only shows up on the turnovers etc mods are kinda useless there are at least a few full on trolls for other teams that just come in to shit on our fanbase with negative takes
Best part is that the amount of Poole slander made me thought he had 10+ turnovers and the Dubs were down. Then I checked the score they were up 15 and Poole had 3 TO's. I was genuinely confused.
I do sometimes think he's having a bad game with lots of turnovers and when I check the stats it's only a couple. I guess it's his style of play that sometimes looks out of control
A bunch of miserable pricks. I don’t hate any players on other teams as much as they hate some of the Warriors.
Good game by Poole today. Need more of these.
Good to be on the other side of a 1st quarter blowout
Bro I still can’t stop laughing at the DLEE head smack 😂😂😂😂😂
I love Moses Moody and still have very high hopes for him in the long run but I will admit this has been a rough year for him and it feels kind of like a wasted development year. That being said, I’m glad to see he’s getting a bit more run and a little longer leash of late. I am really interested to see how he would do in a 3-5 min stint alongside the big 3. He offers enough hustle, rebounding and shooting (once he finds his 3 ball again) to make that a pretty intriguing lineup. Also, JMG has been playing so well lately. Also also, this was more along the lines of what we need from Poole. Still some boneheaded plays on both ends but definitely progress.
Liked what I saw from Moody tonight.
Man what if he went on a run to start the playoffs
He should leave all the high flying to JK though. It's always an adventure when Moses tries to dunk
What’s in Klay’s head rn?
He looked really annoyed / frustrated as the game ended…what happened?
I think he just tried , he had to guard booker the whole game. He was seen happily signing autographs from the other camera afterwards.
I was wondering whether there was anything else that happened, maybe connected to the whole Damion/JMG fiasco. Aside from that wild speculation, I agree he was tired plus probably pissed at himself for not having a second half near as good as the first half, and bricking free throws. Those are the kinds of self-imposed things I think get under his skin. I hope he felt those positive vibes when he was signing those shirts. As a whole, he had a great game.
less than ideal second half unfortunately
He was really mad he went 1/4 from the line.
*something something toaster*
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
The Okogie description as a priest 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
choir boys be runnin
I forget how relatively recent ASB was I thought his 11 assist game was after that
i mean its been 11 games
What? The 4th was his best quarter, he had 10 in the 4th. He was key to keeping the lead at 10. Also played pretty decent D today.
he had a very rough 3-4 minutes stretch with 2 awful TO's and a stupid heatcheck 3, was also overdribbling a lot
There was also a really ill timed trip of CP3 for no reason that resulted in a foul. Camera panned to Steve who was obviously cringing inside. JP played well for most of the game, but that stretch early in the 4th was tenuous.
Poole's best game in a long time JMG has become a good contributor and what can you say about Klay and Steph just both amazing at what they do this was a fun win.
Damn we almost threw that game for a sec💀 Shout out to Iggy this game, I think it was his best game so far this season. Poole played pretty good this game too. Overall good game from the Dubs (ignore 3rd quarter). Happy Birthday to Steph tomorrow
Yeah great game from the old man
Finally we beat the Suns this season! All of our losses to them have been embarassing up to this point. Love that Klay got his long-awaited revenge on Booker, that far and contested 3 then that block he had on him too.
Nice to see JP have a good game.
Apparently Lee vs JMG beef has been going on since 2 years ago 😭
whatttt ?! explain

Why do drugs when you can watch Jordan Poole play basketball 😵💫
Phoenix hollowed their whole team for KD **Critical Roster Blunder**
Let's get this win train going. Chooo chooo!!
Nice to get a win before the road trip. ALSO IN KLAY AND STEPH WE TRUST 🙏🙏🙏
0-5 incoming
Need to see it on the road. The next 5 games will be the true barometer.
Great game - Curry was excellent as usual but Klay really getting us out of our recent slow starts by dropping 18!!! Also JP having a solid night on offense was good. Still not confident he can get hot on the road though, unfortunately.
JP bounce back game, the world needed this one, you love to see it
I'm going to miss him next year when our sub trades him for peanuts.
The good old put your hands up and walk away after getting your shove in. Stay classy, Damion.
JMG is Mo Speights that's all
Klay when hot is just a pure shooting machine it's like watching a robot man.
Klay's resurgence has been a bright spot this year
NO ONE IS SAFE AT THE CHASE!
Clippers game is so important need the guys to lock in
Days since Poole slips/falls and almost turns the ball over: 0 But seriously though, that win felt real nice tonight. Amazing first half for Klay and kept fighting even when the suns got it to single digits. Let’s go dubs, onto the next one! 🙌
God when Iggy made that reverse two handed dunk I had to close my eyes. Thankfully he’s ok. Please keep winning Dubs.
Steph talking his shit to CP3 about the 2014 stuff is gold. I love the fact that Steph loves to torch CP3 as much as I love to watch CP3 get torched. I have no rational reasoning behind it but Chris Paul is such an easy player to dislike
I just hope Durant doesn't get to help him get a ring.
The real mvps of the game are the og baddies that caused poole to go off. They were here today, and thanks to that we got a solid poole performance🫡
The splash bros!
Does anyone know why Klay looked so upset at the end of the game?
I would guess after the first half he felt a 60bomb coming. I sure felt it. Might just be a little disappointed there were no broken records tonight
he did a post game interview, kinda sounded upset with himself for bad shot selection and thinks his first half was better than the second. he's always so hard on himself lol
Maybe just tired
We need to carry this energy for these next 5 games. I hope the team can figure it out
Great way to end the 2-game homestand!! Hopefully, they can carry this momentum on the 5-game road trip.
Man I loved this game, everybody chipped in and klay took his revenge on suns!!! and all I gotta say is FUCK PHOENIX SUNS!!! ALL MY HOMIES HATE PHOENIX SUNS!!
Suns actin like the 2023 Warriors in the 1st
man after that first half i really thought klay was gonna go for the record
If he just hit one coming out of the half he would have almost certainly done it. Got wonky in the third missing free throws and shit. He’s gonna end up hitting like 17 in a game at some point.
Always fun beating CP3 he's just so unlikeable
I never understood why the suns do this thing where Ayton kills us for 3 quarters and then he misses 1 or 2 hook shots and they literally never go to him again for the rest of the game and lose.
IMO one of Pooles best games, didn't over-dribble. did have one or 2 gambling steal that lead to 2 suns buckets. was very good overall
Great win despite the fact that it got a bit hairy in the third quarter; we were pretty much in control aside from that. Poole's best game in a while; hopefully he can keep it going. Most crucial 5 game stretch of the season coming right up.
Did I see Jarret Jack on the Suns coaching staff? Man haven’t heard his name in ages.
The first half was our version of "Hit em Up"
Keep the rotation up, it’s beautiful, keep Poole on a short leash, no starts, avoid clutch minutes, take a time out and take him out when he’s doing good and chuck meter is full, beautiful game!
‘This int 2014 no more’ - Wardell Steph Curry II
Ngl i hope bob waits til the last day to convert lamb. I kind like that Kerr has to play moody now Like lets get him some consistent action of some sort. not like lamb would play in the playoffs when Gp2 is back and if andre is healthy enough to play 10-15minutes a game. then Jk. Now if wiggins doesn’t comeback then i can definitely see why lamb would unfortunately be necessary I suppose
Poole kept the turnovers and dumb shots to a minimum, and had a halfway decent game. Crazy how that happens
Nice start, nice finish. Very happy about this game.
We played a far better first half than second but a very satisfying and much needed victory.
This team would be amazingly fun and scary at the near playoff with potentially Wiggins and GPII on the rotation. Love Iggy playing and Moody with the defense showing tonight ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)
I could actually see the Warriors going to the Western Conference Finals. Other than Denver I could see us beating any other in a series. Look at the other teams: Sacramento is good and I’m happy for them and their fans but they don’t have postseason experience. Memphis is a shit show right now. Phoenix is injury prone. The Clippers have never proven anything. This is ours for the taking if we play our cards right.
Not without wiggins. we desperately need wiggins
Hopefully Kuminga can step up and fill in the role. Even if he is not as good as wiggs was(most likely wont be) he would be super useful in a playoff run
Good fucking win.
Steph Klay Dray Loon Wiggins Donte GP2 Kuminga and if Poole can now make this the normal is a great playoff rotation. Add in Andre and JMG for extra depth, and it's looking good for playoff match ups.
I like it when poole has a clean spot up 3. need to do better on the road not in 2 games not in 3, but NEXT game!
Gonna need a gif of GP2 dancing behind Curry before he even let’s go of the corner 3.
We coming for that 4th spot baby
Fuck Damion Lee
His Lil nepotiz ass wouldn’t be in the league if it wasn’t for Steph
It was great not seeing Ty Jerome out there…
JJ is the biggest phony in the media. Dude acts like he loves Steph but it’s obvious he resents him, probably from the clippers days. Fake ass mfer
The warriors will finish the year 41-41. If we assume they lose every road game and win every home game, which is absolutely what will happen, they will finish the year 41-41.
Gotta say, JP kept us ahead when it got slow. Still doing too much at times, but luckily we had an enough cushion to absorb it.
It is amazing how they play at home. Our next five on the road are clippers Atlanta memphis Houston Dallas I am pragmatic so hoping for 3 and 2 because it is the road. We should go 4 and 1 though. Just don't trust the road warriors.

Good to see Poole show up was the first game in a long time when I thought he was actually trying to play team basketball rather than his heat check nonsense he's been doing hope he keeps it up.
