I didn't think that loss was too painful. The only part that hurts is the reminder that blowing games like this is very much in character.
But still, they were right in it down to the wire. Some calls go the other way, or one of those last two Curry threes drops and it could have easily been a different outcome. I'm going to go look at Oubre's game some more, because I thought he played great (or maybe he was just the least gassed from not playing 5 games in 8 nights).
Also, did anyone else find themselves missing Wiseman last night? The Wizards were getting caught flat footed on a lot of slip screens, and some Wiseman power jams would have been easy money.
And like others are saying, this was a good "thread the needle" game.
Basically a perfect “thread the needle” night, cos we lost ground on the Eastern teams (NYK, MIA, BOS) while staying the same with respect to MEM, SA, POR.
Pooles gonna be key in the play-in/playoffs. He's come a very long way in such a short period time when you realize he hasn't experienced a full regular season. He's kinda special for a late first-rounder if you ask me.
I'm feeling really good about the team. Everybody's contributing on both sides and Steph is allowed to have these games once in a while- Jordan did too.
We have a plethora of tough long-armed, defensive 3point shooting wings, two smart championship defensive bigs and Steph Curry. I won't be surprised if we overachieve and actually make it to the WCF.
I might be crazy but I think we face Utah in the first round and beat them 4-2, fuck it
Knicks are still the hottest team with an 8-game winning streak, beating the Hawks tonight to take over 4th in the East by 1/2 game over the Hawks.
2nd hottest team is the Wizards with a 6-game winning streak, putting them at #10 in the East.
The Kings managed to come from behind twice in the last couple of minutes to beat the Twolves, who now have the 2nd worst record in the league at 16-43. One game ahead of last place Houston.
Hi. From Italy it's so much fun be part of Dub Nation. Sorry for my english. Still learnin'

Is Curry the only player for whom 18/7/8 is considered not just deficient but abysmal?
Last night, Curry was throwing them up to Jesus, but Jesus was like that Mutombo commercial, "No, no, no."
The officiating last night was appalling. That too had to go wrong to lose to that rubbish team
Hard to believe 6th is still not out of reach.

Still stings, tho. >:-(
There is good chance that Mavs overtake Blazers in standings by end of RS given that Blazers have a tough remaining SOS. I rather face Mavs though.
We have lost so many close games. With Klay on the team, I think we could easily 5th seed.
Nobody from Warriors got hurt. Thank God.

Holy shit! Damian Jones with the game-winning contest on KAT! And then deflects the inbounds pass on the final play!
Both him and HB coming through for the Warriors tonight.
Well, nothing happened here :D Spurs and Grizzlies lost their games 👍🏼
Warriors PR >>
Stephen is now the 75th player in NBA history to score 18,000 career points 👀
(& counting)
Kings have come back and are up one on the Twolves with 2:41 left.
OT Both teams tired at the end of the Nuggets-Blazers game and can't make any shots.
