Yup just happened. Pelicans 3 point shooters go absolutely crazy and once again show how the Warriors old huge 3 point shooting advantage has disappeared.
What I really dislike about the NBA now is the live and die by the 3 on any given night.
It gets tiresome watching all the 3’s and hoping for the best.
It has really opened up the game and I have no desire to go back to the old game with big guys playing with their back to the basket, but it still gets tiresome. Probably just me.
shoulda rested the last 6 games and taken the 10th seed. now we're exhausted, steph rolled his ankle, and we still need to win 2 play-in games, worst case scenario came true
I'm sorry those 4th quarter turnovers from Steph overshadowed his desperation made 3s. You just CANNOT have that in a close game and I'm not giving him a pass for that tweaked ankle possession either. Call a timeout. VALUE EVERY POSSESSION during a comeback.

The Sacramento game still matters for who the Warriors opponent is. The Kings win and it's guaranteed Warriors-Lakers in LA basically.
Pels got 20 of 38 (52%) from three, which is hard to beat. Dubs 16 turnovers (to 8) no help.
Looks like Steph is going to get his long, sit down chats with Kerr soon. 🙃
No shame in this loss. Not gonna call it a moral victory, but our guys played a good game.

Welp.
So if suns win, pelicans will have to try vs lakers?
Well, that was disappointing. But loved the Warrior fight at the end. I missed the 2nd q, and it sounds like that was the game.

Let's just settle for that 10th seed. It was always destined
Please for the love of god, sit Steph for Utah. 9 or 10 doesn't make a particle of difference compared to Steph being rested.
5 point game in Sac.
So just rest everybody Sunday ?
Won the 1st, 3rd, and 4th quarters, but lost the 2nd quarter by a lot.
