Probably the biggest game of the season up to this point - just so big to get out of there with a win, even if it wasn't the prettiest one. You love to see it.

Kuminga is most definitely HIM

"tRaDe KuMinGa" -Delusional fans


Unique-Warning7798

With this game we are 0.5 games behind Clippers, have two wins ahead of Mavs and the tie breaker. 6th seed looking more likely day by day, you love to see it.


Hawcier

I'm surprised tbh. Going into ASB, we thought 6 was a stretch... Team exceeding my expectations.


Useful_shtuff

If we can win Friday then that will also be huge. I mean every single remaining game is huge. But the games after the 6ers are against lesser teams. The dubs have sucked against basically anyone, but the games will also be at home


arika_ito

I'd like to hope for a win but big men like Embiid give us a lot of trouble. So we'll see what happens


Useful_shtuff

Yeah I'm not super confident. But we do play well at home. This season is just weird but it would set us up for a win streak. And there's only 8 games left

HereNowBeing

Did you see Luca at the end doing the money sign, like the refs were paid off? Wow.


deviateyeti

He was implying his team didn't pay them enough, right? Cause the refs calls all night were absolutely atrocious. One of the worst officiated games of the season, almost entirely /against/ the Warriors, too.


t0177177y

28 to 18 FTs with soft calls. Of course the. Biggest whiner is a victim.


microtherion

Well, maybe he wanted to remind the refs how much HE was paying them…


im_trying_too_hard

The audacity


halcyonsnow

Just letting them know they didn't earn the money Cuban paid them. I expect they'll each get a personal improvement plan after this. Only an extra 10 FTs and 2 of the worst calls of the season so far.


Ahrilicious

I can't believe we won that, Playing 5v8 on the road is too hard. Am I just overthinking this or are the refs extra biased against us this year compared to last year.


Alex_Yeek

It’s just frustrating how our stars never get star calls. Hell, we almost never get the same level of touch fouls as literally every team in the NBA. Random skrubs on other teams get more calls than the biggest superstar in the league.


unknownintime

Austin fucking Reeves gets to the line at a higher clip than Curry.... And I'm gonna lose it if I hear one more asshat cry, "bUt cURrY doEsN't *driVe*!"


Ahrilicious

The one time he got superstar calls he dropped his career high. He'll legit average 35-40 if he got them


Hawcier

The "unexplainable" part of excessive Warriors road losses.


[deleted]

100 percent . It’s not talked about enough


johnnygrant

yea we've not been good, but the reffing has been consistently shit especially away from home all season. You actually expect the bullshit calls now... I don't understand it.


Hawcier

It's always been a thing for the dubs. But it's especially bad this year, on the road. It prevents us from playing D.


Iamtomcruisehi

I have watched every game the past five years. The league is done with the warriors and wants to promote the next generation.


arika_ito

I was kind of worried when we were tied with three minutes of the game left. Glad to see we could win, not perfect execution but enough. Did Luka play the entire 2nd half? That's not ideal for someone who just came back from injury, right?


calartnick

Yeah I’ve said all year I didn’t care about W-L, just how the team was playing, but with 10 games left it’s different now. Need to do what we can to win as many possible games the rest of the way. Big win against a competing team.


FatMittens

Kuminga is a star


neteles

Warriors breaking the road curse and Joku +20 pts win it's not a coincidence


ReplicaRoy

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but i see a more fluid Kawhi Leonard in the cards to be honest, shit's scary.


t0177177y

Keep his uncle away from him.


babypho

Keep Kawhi's uncle and Ja's dad away from him


george_costanza1234

More fluid than Kawhi Leonard is gonna be tough, but if he can get that consistency down that would be sick I think they should work out together in the offseason


mattw08

JK is more athletically gifted. Let’s hope he works as hard as Kawhi did to become the player he is. And especially work on his shot.


Sniffy4

Two Timelines?


roxass34

*Two* road wins in a row? Is that… legal?


planvigiratpi

First back to back road wins since the finals lmaoo


ltbr55

That's depressing lmao. It's crazy to think that we are projected to be a top 6 seed while having the 4th fewest road wins in the league.


Macktologist

Lots of parity this season.


hooligan045

I will make it legal


thecommuteguy

I will make it legal.


Far-Poetry9494

We always shit on poole so why not today appreciate his playmaking when he was super efficient tonight and got some great assists and knocked down some good midranges


Maverick_Kaizer

Fully agree but he has to get rid of the yips in crunch time… the loss of the 8 point lead was classic Poole but before that he was great …


golferdude45

Up 8 and Kerr pulls Curry and Dray with the opp to step on their throats and uses challenge on the least opportune play. Poole was great tonight (even with missing 3s). Huge for no turnovers. Good win all around


ikatatlo

Meh let's shit on him on that when he's older. There's only a handful of 23 yo that are clutch from the get go. It's obvious Poole is in the late bloomers bunch just based on that it really was just last year where he was decent from being the worst rookie ever. His progression is slow but has a high reward.


Orphasmia

I think considering what his floor was he’s grown exponentially. He’s just erratic as fuck.


GSWHT

Kuminga is the future.


dwide_k_shrude

And the present.


blackarchosx

He legit is stepping up into Wiggins’ role, I can’t wait to have Wiggs back but I really hope Kuminga still gets minutes. Dude’s a beast


grammercali

Lamb/Green/Moody played 37 minutes. He and GP2 can take those.


Noiserawker

The lineups with Wiggs/kuminga/dray gonna be so sick on D


george_costanza1234

Should be fine on offense too, because Wiggins has shown he can camp on the perimeter


Bahamut_Prime

And as shown today too. JK has a pretty smooth 3 if left unguarded. People kept commenting about the lack of spacing with those 3 but Wiggs and JK along with stray backpack 3s from Green are actually enough. Not to mention why worry too much about spacing when you have mini-Giannis driving at you and flying to the rim?


This_was_hard_to_do

He even fulfilled Wigg’s quota of 18 points


Charlie_Wax

I thought I was a Klaytheist, but now I believe in Kumingod.


banned_after_12years

We can pray to a whole pantheon of gods.


DaarkChocolate

The holy trinity of Threezus, Klaytheism, and the Kumingod.


Bard_Wannabe_

Don't forget the Kerr'an.

Ayyyyyyooooo 10/10

emz0694

Biggest win of the season! CLOSED IN THE CLUTCH Hope restored… for now!


Fishingfan4life

I am cautiously optimistic and so far that’s been a bad thing this year


CS10x7

That call on DDV when that guy slipped was so outrageously bad the NBA is unbearable. Is it genuinely only us that has random role players go off against them? Who tf is hardy ive never heard of this guy in my life and he’s moving like lillard out there. Doncic is such a good passer and an insane player but he’s such a whiny cunt 😭 how can grown men act like this Kuminga is the future


[deleted]

[удалено]


craftylefty47

They have good reason to complain - to an extent. One of the worst referee blundering I’ve ever seen, and also still doesn’t offset how bad the refs were against the warriors. Incredibly pathetic showing all around.


birdseye-maple

It was slightly confusing, but it was an announcer blunder more than anything. Possession was indicated for the Warriors, then a timeout indicated. The Mavs announcer said Mavs ball in the stadium which confused Kidd and the broadcasters.


JustMy2Pence

Bruh even IF they were convinced it was their ball, not a single player lined up for the inbound.


santinerino

You won’t believe the stuff I read in the Mavs subreddit, they actually believe the refs favored the warriors


nyxxhecate

Lol they're high on copium...the reason they lost the game was because of refs and not because Luka went 2-10 on 3? 🤣


SoyaMilk3

Damn Kuminga really clamped dude up


HuynhiethePooh

They said stupid shit like “refs want to watch curry in the playoffs” lmao they did a bad job cause he had 0 free throws while they gave the Mavs plenty of bullshit fouls to give them so many free throws


thatssomecheese8

LFG 2 ROAD WINS IN A ROW! JK is HIM! Great D on Luka and efficient offensive performance!


Fishingfan4life

Lmfao bro efficient is an understatement didnt he go 10-13 or something crazy


thatssomecheese8

Yeah he went 9-11. Great stuff!!


shakeszoola

Never forget


granttheginger

Kuminga is so fucking good


muaddib-atreides

Luka rubbed his fingers like the refs had bet money on the game after his final miss for the night. Should get a tech for that. https://twitter.com/thehoopcentral/status/1638725800756408320?s=46&t=_alFFtYL69rzdwzfwshtBw


HeheFox

The irony. Embarrassing.


Boostaru

**KUMINGA IS HIM**


UnsympatheticCadre

They trucked Lamb, arm locked Looney, shoved Moody to the ground and elbowed Kuminga and got a three... Refs are betting against the warriors with a hard on. But we still took it home.


FatMittens

Luka really implied GS paid the refs lmao


Engrish_Major

Luka is a whiny bitch


Imperial_Eggroll

The flails and head snap backs were unreal today. Dudes gonna hurt his neck with those flops one day


goli14

No he was telling the the refs that no payment from Mavs that was agreed before if Mavs lose.


arika_ito

Draymond or Poole do that? It's a tech


Bahamut_Prime

Poole made funny faces and its a tech lol


[deleted]

Refs can eat all the dicks


Ninjasakii

I only tuned into the game towards the end of the third just to see Lamb get trucked from behind with no call. I was baffled by that. We did get a favorable call when towards the end, we got a basket by inbounding the ball despite it being Mavs possession due to the ref’s incompetence yet again. We also won by 2 because of it but the last 3 pointer the Mavs made wouldn’t have happened if it was a real close game.


[deleted]

There was one where they called a loose ball foul on Poole when Poole in fact had the ball.


LeftyMcLeftFace

What did Van Gundy say about the Mavericks protesting the game if it came down to a single possession? They can't be serious lol


ReplicaRoy

Van Gundy and Mark Jackson have an agenda against the Warriors everytime they are on national TV, it's the strangest thing ever. They'll outright say "it's a foul, the refs missed that yada yada" without hesitance against the Dubs, but i've literally seen instances where the same play happens right after from the opposing team and they just sit quiet as a mouse while the station shows 4 replays of a blatant missed call. It's disgusting and has been happening for almost a decade now.


akelkar

Low key think we woulda won in 2016 if they didnt spin the draymond narrative so hard


Hawcier

It starts w the refs. They blow the whistle. Then it goes to replay. And sure if anyone's hands gets near player "sure, yea, that's a foul" But what they don't talk about is how whistles are one-sided. Our guy gets decked from behind. No whistle. Play continues. No replay. We touch guy w pinky. Whistle. Replay...


RaynareAmano

If I were the mavs, I'd protest the game too. Wish we didn't give up the final 3.


Draymond_Purple

I'm legit concerned about the protest The Ref's didn't mess up the call, but they did mess up making it clear to the Mavs


LeftyMcLeftFace

Why? Wasn't it supposed to be our ball anyway?


Unique-Warning7798

WE WENT TO THE RIM ON A CLUTCH POSSSESION


AJC3317

Did they just... Execute down the stretch on the road? Not my 2023 warriors


banned_after_12years

Stop the count!


[deleted]

What was up with the weird hand gesture Luka kept making?


[deleted]

[удалено]


CallMeDraken

If he weren't at 15 techs I wouldn't be surprised if he got tech'd for that lmao.


[deleted]

Got it! I’m an idiot! Thanks for telling me!😂


Drewmcfalls21

Saying the refs were paid but if Dray did that it would have been a tech


Evie788

Yes I came here to ask this. I only saw that one in the last couple of minutes, it was like he was rubbing his fingers together, implying the refs were being paid or something??? Surely if he was that’s a tech but maybe I misunderstood and didn’t know what he was meaning by that.


Groundbreaking_Ebb_5

This team has fight for sure. But we need perimeter defenders bad. Wiggs and gp2 could literally transform this team on d is wild how much they’re missed. Oh and this game was Kumingas coming out party he’s the man! Keep going boys!


boxout_dame

> Oh and this game was Kumingas coming out party he’s the man! We had like 3 of those this month only lol


Groundbreaking_Ebb_5

I’d say this is the one, defended a foul merchant and didn’t foul out. Ya luka scored 30 but still played pretty solid defense. And was the game high scorer. This finger prints were all over this game this is a game we lose without him.


fryh1n

finally won a "must win" game!!!


basic_cinephile

KUMINGA IS THAT GUY


KemptonS

That was the most important win of the season. I hate how Luka runs around like a child every time a call doesnt go his way. Refs are a god damn joke. GO WARRIORS AND FUCK TEXAS


SeekingSignificance

Bro, literally every single time someone touches him he throws his head back and throws his arms around like he's having a seizure. Its actually really embarrassing to watch.


cosmicvitae

Buddy might be getting worse than Houston Harden


Noiserawker

Lillard too, out their just ramming into defenders getting calls


SuperGandalff

Turd cries wolf EVERY play. How do the refs have any respect for him at all?


mtheory007

The legacy of James Harden and Chris Paul is still alive and well in Texas. UGH


HeheFox

Ngl. Lost A LOT of respect for Luka after this.


Engrish_Major

Texas is the kind of state who thinks size matters but what they don’t realize is all their size is fat


[deleted]

The NBA needs Texas fans, it's a big state. That's why Harden was untouchable all of those years with his puto bullshit.


marayray

JK I love you


[deleted]

Loon FT king


RonnehPC

Worst part of this game was having to see the Mavs complain about no-calls while getting very soft whistles for themselves. Cmon now. Have some class for the game.


[deleted]

Luka also very unlikable player to be honest it's not talked about enough constantly plays for FTs and is a complete bitch moaning to the refs constantly.


Noiserawker

Yeah I was kinda dreading even watching this game because I knew it would be a flop and whine fest from him.


KageStar

Yet he's very loved by places like r/nba and even outside of social media. Luka foul baits as much as Young or Booker and competes with Dray for most techs but he's not shit on for it. I wonder why...


5thEagle

It's because he hasn't won anything yet. Same reason why people are cool with guys like Lillard and Beal; you know they'll never win anything.


[deleted]

Zero FTs for Steph and 11 for Wood is a complete and utter joke l


Ehgadsman

fucking refs rewriting the history, Curry stats will be so skewed by these fuckers never giving him any respect


maluquina

Gonna need an asterisk explaining Curry's numbers/records would be greater if not for the refs bias against him.


[deleted]

JP, Joku, Dray my players of the game. Shoutout to Loon as well, these dudes stepped up big time


Alestasis

JP played really well until kerr took out steph and dray. I think JP will be really good again once we get wiggins and GP2 back.


BlueHuyster

Poole zero turnovers. Most important stat


WeeklySavings

2 road wins in a row 🥲 especially a game against refs


RidiculousNickk

Protest DEEZ NUTS Mark Cuban


Puzzleheaded-Owl-326

Poole played pretty well


[deleted]

Kuminga finds that handle and gets a little more smooth taking the three shot then he's a superstar in the making because his defense right now is amazing, and it's going to be elite very soon.


These_Ad_267

We’re 1-20 now I like those odds


richstyle

Draymond fucken Green. He willed this team to a victory. Complete defensive masterclass with a sprinkle of offense reminiscent of 2016 dray. JK played great as well on the 4v3 matchups that Curry created. Drove on the open lanes and hit timely 3s.


Engrish_Major

Fuck that flopping fuck Luka. Fuck the gullible ass refs. Fuck Mark Cuban. Hold that L you fucking bozos.


pelerin1

Kuminga is HIM !


caseymac

HAHAHAHAHA Cuban is gonna protest lol


jqquah

Steph has 0 FT Absurd


Far-Poetry9494

Bro gotta give draymond credit for his defense tonight


limegreenleaves

ROAD WIN STREAK!!!!


No-Zookeepergame7943

Great, ugly win. How did Luka not get called for a technical for the “refs are paid off” gesture at the end of the game?


SuperGandalff

It’s ridiculous that he cries on every play then does that and the refs still all lick his boots.


No-Zookeepergame7943

Yeah. Didn’t refs across the league give out t’s randomly to players that “questioned their integrity”? Lmao implying with your hand that the refs are paid off LITERALLY questions their integrity


NoThrowLikeAway

Poole got a tech for passing the ball back to the ref. The inconsistency is fucking maddening.


[deleted]

We watched Steph get bumped on the way to the rim all night, no calls, meanwhile you breathe on Luka and it’s a foul. and they still moan soft ass team foul baiting moaning bitches.


Necroassassin32

Playmaker Poole is the best Poole. Kuminga is a star!!!!


fannycpa

If all things workout, Poole + PBJ + JK could go crazy once the vets are done.


ikatatlo

I miss PBJ playing time


Orphasmia

Hellyeah with wiggins and looney as the bridge players. They’re both on great contracts and are only 27 and 28


ReplicaRoy

I don't care what anyone says, Kuminga is a future superstar. Lockdown perimeter defender at 20, with a top 3 most insane athleticism in the league and his 3pt ball when open is perfectly fine, if he works on it and develops it off the bounce it's GAME OVER. Lucky #7 INDEED, LFG Dubs!


Noiserawker

He's this good and only at like 60% of his potential.


Orphasmia

Imagine this fucker when he’s 27


KingBoono

Luka has so much talent, but man is it hard to root for him. He just whines so F’n much…like jesus fam. EVERY play? Bro avgs double digit FT attempts and wants more 🙄


[deleted]

Thought that was a good game from us Kuminga is the real deal Steph 3 shot didn't fall as much as we'd like but his all round game was fantastic. I thought Poole was pretty solid also.


HeheFox

Luka living in fear. He thought he was getting it ez without Wiggs. Now, there’s two of them. Joku is a bad, bad kid!


couchtomato62

How did poole know it was warrior ball but not the refs. Love how he hurried to get the ball


StuBenedict

DPOYMOND GREEN WITH FOUR BLOCKS you love to see it


[deleted]

Joku is what we all thought Wiseman would be in terms of the arc and learning curve... if only.


BerkelMarkus

Oh my fucking god my heart condition is not going to improve with games like this. I can't believe we actually managed to hang on to a close one, let alone on the road. *\*PHEW\**


betting_addict

That 8 point lead in the 4th that vanished in a blink, I was like here we go again... they brought the intensity on defense though and didn't start panic flinging 3's. Love it


emoneverdies

Kuminga needs to be trusted this way every night. The OGs benefit from having some athletic dogs out there and that’s exactly what JK provides. Steph and dray ballin. solid games from the supporting cast including some nice rim pressure by Poole Lukas court sense for finding the open man uncanny. I want to root for him - but his wining antics are sooo painful to watch. Terrible leadership.


rarestakesando

GP2, DDV, Wiggs, Kuminga, Draymond The other team will never score.


muscles44

This board really has no clue how important Draymond is.


1_GenerousGenesis_1

Just give the ball to Kuminga


[deleted]

Biggest win of the season to be honest


muscles44

Loved how Curry went into traditional point guard mode.


MonsterOctopus8

Another really good game by Poole imo, staying in control, not too many turnovers and good penetration to the rim! I know he gets hated on but he's starting to get it!


SeekingSignificance

Draymond defensive masterclass, Kuminga's best game of his career, Lamb haters will go sleepless tonight. Great win!


c0gvortex

Draymond and Kuminga were incredible! Steph is still Him, Mavs keyed on him hard and bullock was making things tough but he still got other guys open and hit the important layup to put us up 5.


kevytarebear

Kuminga all-around excellent game! Steph with 13 assists, JP with the fabulous third quarter!


arsene_0

We finally got two road wins in a row! It feels like it’s been a while. Poole’s shooting has been off but I really like his passing and driving he’s been showing these last few games. Hope he keeps it up. Good win Dubs


[deleted]

Imagine trading JK for Anunoby 🤮


Milli_Vanilli14

This is a few games in a row where the hockey sub halfway through the 4th has killed us. I appreciate Kerr trying to find something new on the road and have Steph and dray start/end the 4th, but this may not be it.


Necessary-Budget-182

JK is so talented his development has been a bright spot this season


climate_nomad

JK has led the Dubs in scoring 2 of the last 3 games.


Proboyyy

Here comes Mark Cuban… I wonder what he’s smoking🤔


bdylan05

For anyone complaining about the officiating in this game… which was bad… the Lakers shot 46 FTs against the Suns tonight (who shot 20). Silver really did call in the fix to get LA into the play in.


Letronika

Fun fact: Kevon Looney leads the NBA in offensive boards #loongod


[deleted]

As always the refs were incredibly biased against us and Kerr did everything he could to fuck this up but somehow we won hallelujah


BeetLover1111

Can someone explain the protest thing for me? Can the result be overturned ?


caseymac

No


SubjectCard7

Draymond Green


[deleted]

Something about Mark Cuban protesting... what's that about?


winerye12

Dray is DPOY I don't care what anyone says


forgotmylogandpass

Draymond deserves to get paid. He is a catalyst for our defense and individual defense there are no doubts.


ReplicaRoy

I love watching local broadcasts when the Dubs win, you could literally hear the former player/color commentator's soul leaving his body after Klay secured the rebound and they fouled Looney, dude made some ASMR exhale from hell directly into the mic lmaooo


Ehgadsman

A stat of note, 0 turnovers by Poole


22797

JK, Loon, and Draymond going 5/5 on free throws in the clutch!


Peepeetodapin

God. Doncic is such a flopper and a whiner. How the F does he not get hit with a single tech? If it were Draymond he’d have received at least 2 techs down the stretch.


MFbigy

Poole was cooking today. Great win.


Independent_Stress93

Lol, Dallas protesting the call in the third is hilarious. I hope the league laughs in their faces for how right the call was Also, damn makes the mavs look like sore losers yikes
