One question pls. Which teams warriors are playing 3 times this season? Pelicans, thunder and....

Also, Poole has even better crazy faces than Iguodala. Guess that's the power of the Instagram generation.

The Warriors defense continues to be mind-bogglingly good. The Heat made a ton of *really hard* baskets this game and still lost by plenty. GS wreaked absolute devastation on Miami's gameplan.

Also, did the Dubs do drills of how to avoid Lowry's bowling pin defense on fast breaks, or what? The whole team seemed to see it coming and avoid it perfectly every time. It was kind of amazing seeing how much they had him figured out there. (Though, as either Fitz or Kelenna said, credit to him for even being back on defense in the first place.)

Heat didn't score for almost 3mins from 4:00 in 4th quarter. Dray had 3 blocks during that period, each busting up a different Heat possession. Give him DPOY already.

GPII had a steal also during those 3 minutes.

Hopefully we get an E1P for those 3 mins

Poole is extremely explosive. You can really see that on his cuts to the basket. He’s only going to get better and better at exploiting that with more and more experience

Don't look now but the Lakers are playing better than anyone not named Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks. Washington Wizards. or LA Clippers

Janie McCauley is soooo awkward. It's uncomfortable but also quite endearing lol

So I saw that last Poole highlight dunk and Lowry trying to push him while Poole was at full speed. I hope Miami doesn’t get out of the 2nd round of the playoffs I take everything i said back about wanting them in the finals. As long as Lowry is on the team I’ll root for their demise

How do we keep Poole long term?

Houston this year has gone: 1-16, then 8-2, then 1-10. In a year of weird years that's a really weird year. Predict what happens next.

Wiggins got to be an all star

Just here to celebrate. This is a fun team to root for.

I'm mostly a Warrior fan, but I'm enough of a Steph fan that I do feel a little down when he has a bad game. And this one had less to redeem it than most of his 'bad' games. Still, he got 10 assists and managed a +/- of 0, even after missing 14 shots. It definitely helps to see them win. But I'll be happy when he drops 40+ on them next time.
