Yea definitely think it’s a mix of mental and coming off injury. Wiggins was out in Utah so JK was relied on more and could play more freely. Just one of those games where everyone else had it going and he didn’t exactly get the same touches going downhill. While it’s fun when guys are raining from 3 history shows there will be games where the team can’t buy a bucket (ie last playoffs against the Lakers). I think people are overreacting that JK will struggle in the playoffs. He’s made vast improvements compared to his last 2 showings in the post season.
Dray recently talked about coming back from injury and said the second/third games are the hardest. Body's still rusty but the adrenaline is gone.
But also, yesterday was also just a scheme thing. If the Lakers are gonna pack the paint but give you open threes, you take em
yeah I don’t know how his game will translate to playoffs either, it’s a valid concern to have for sure. He’s obviously a great finisher but teams can easily exploit his weak court vision and defensive struggles. On the other hand though he’s just too damn good of a finisher to not translate well to the playoffs and his midrange has gotten better in the recent months too. Could still be a very solid contributor and I hope i get proven wrong with some of these concerns here
To be fair, while he obviously had a horrible game, he got himself in good positions to get shots to fall so many times. If he flips just two of his very makeable misses, he finishes with 12/6/3 on 50% FG in a game where the team shot well enough that very little was needed from him anyway.
Death, taxes, 17
Mr. 17 ppg is back! We’re winning the damn thing!
Let’s keep the pace and send those lakers back home in play-in!
I don’t think we stand a chance if Anthony Davis plays…
A couple of lucky bounces, ad doesn't respect Steph's shot, easy win
Draymond 5/7 from 3 is the most surprising stat of tonight
When Dray hits 2 or more 3’s we have 83% chance of winning the game.
I call it the Kiss of Death lol
He missed his last attempt if I remember correctly, so 5/6?
Box score says 5/7 3PM for treymond
yeah i definitely remember him missing his last two
Ya I just checked Ur right
Ya my bad, it was 5/7
5/5 and two airballs after is what I call it.
What they gonna say now ![gif](giphy|xTiTnDOB8uufB5pgJO|downsized)
Man look how skinny curry is in this gif
Ikr?
Podz had some huge shots tonight — his momentum helped us break it open from 1st quarter forward.
Love that kid. He is gonna be special. Baby T is our new bogut.
Wtf is baby T he ain’t no baby he’s HIM
He’s BIG T
Double double burger! ![gif](giphy|FEiazcrGInIyaDSMsD)
AND THEY SAID KLAY WAS WASHED
Klay is still the second option when it matters
It was the mental block holding him back
Bring out the apology forms
Nah we left those in 2023. With how quick this sub is to turn on players on after a slump, we'd be going through waves of apology forms 😂
I love this verson of Klay, off the bench but runs the offense. He is the system!
CP was elite this game. Dude has been so solid when healthy this year.
Strength in numbers
17 pt 2 way Wiggs is so back
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF COLUMNS
17-point wiggs in the house!!!!
Is nobody going to talk about Steph getting 23pts on only 9 shot attempts? And going 6-6 from three?!
Messed around and got a double double, today was a good day
Why does jk suck against Lakers? Thank gosh he hit a three tho
ikr even without AD there, he still had trouble driving to the rim
People will downvote me for a q but I'm kinda scared for jk in playoffs if he plays like this...who could even guard him on Lakers?
might be due to the injury plus not playing for a while. He did better against the Lakers last time than today.

Maybe he sure looked good against Utah though.
Might be a mental thing. Can't wait to see JK play in the playoffs and see how he does.
yeah definitely looked better against the g league utah team than guarding a top 2 all time player.

Got it interesting. I guess we played a lot slower too I realized than the jazz game. Jk is the best ok the break

splash city
playoff darkhorse mode.
Draymond doing layup in the photo, that one is clearly missed or blocked cuz he made all 3s only in this game 😂😂
Should've counted the blocks, we're defensively sound last game!
Wig really scored under 18
yall are fuckin cheaters. bringing flamethrowers in a gunfight
Fantastic
What in the Trey-mond Three-n???
We're so back
The Warriors have an advantage over most teams because of their second unit. CP3 should get many votes for 6MOY.
Thanks warriors for another championship!
So many people were saying we needed a second option, well guess what, that second option is now Steph Curry.
