https://youtu.be/M_Kgs9X6f6Q k Oubres first shot of the game was so nice. He gets those layups all the time but it's just hard for him to convert due to it being contested a lot. If he can get that more consistent or get fouled more, that'd be amazing.

I read the schedule wrong and didn’t realize there was a game yesterday until after it was over. I watched the “highlights” and ugh; looks like I picked the right day to miss my first game of the season.

In off-topic news, we had an eventful day on the water. We got to see sea turtles procreating (AKA “humping”) and had a mama humpback whale and her baby come up REALLY close. The baby got so close to my wife that she could have reached out and touched it (which is a big no-no). Here’s the short videos if you’re interested...

Florida 2, CA 0. But at least the Lakers lost again.

Putting all this out of mind. What sucks is that we have to wait 2.5 days to see team bounce back and win again. I guess I will have to give in and watch WandaVision. I was hoping to till all episodes are out.

Why didn't we take the two for one at the end when we had it?

Letting this sink in, it really was a tough loss. These guys are playing really hard. To battle with their size and lose is wrenching. Hope they can find the strength to galvanize and come together. They are playing great considering the circumstances.

Our man PMC posted post-game interview notes. Looks like the team felt the video showed they got completely screwed by the refs down the stretch and that Dray also took responsibility for blowing it.

Memphis lost today too so we are still #8 and whoever( refs or Draymond) helped CHA getting close to 0.500. And Steph is Not injured. So don’t be too upset Dubs nation🙏

Loving this team can be so heart wrenching and exhausting at times but in the end, some of my best memories with family and friends involves Warriors basketball. I was pissed after the game but hearing the disappointment from Kerr and EP just makes me feel bad.

Except Wanamaker...fair or unfair, I’m not a fan.

*Taking deep breaths and thinking about the return of Klay next year + some juicy prospects especially if we actually keep our picks*

Crazy how imo that could have been their best win of the season and turned into their worst loss.

Hopefully the degree of boneheadedness of this game will wake the team up like a hard slap in the face and act as a galvanizing force for the rest of the road trip. This applies to everyone -- including Kerr -- but especially Draymond.
