With 3:15 left in the third, the Clippers had a 99.3% chance of winning, per ESPN....

A 1-in-143 miracle.

And it wasn't even close.

Well that was an unexpected surprise!

BTW I don't know why it took me forever to finally sign up here 😅 Glad to see a lot of the old timers

Just saw a replay of play with 11 mins left in the 4th where Steph fires the long lefty pass over to D Lee in the corner for a 3. Paschall has a good idea of what is coming and plants a great screen in the middle of the lane to make sure D Lee is wide open. Nice to see players anticipating and looking to free up other shooters besides Steph. Sure didn't see much evidence of that in the first two games.

Might be a good E1P candidate.

Wiggins defense on Kawhi over two games:

2 for 12 FG, 5 TO, 3 assists, 0 3PM, 0 shooting fouls

Curry with the most minutes. That’s not sustainable.

Maybe they can do well enough against the bottom half of the league to go back to resting him in the 4th.

Great win. Assuming steph stays healthy, I really think we're 1 trade away from contending for a chip (the west is VERY get-able this year + covid could easily screw with any top team's fortunes). I predict we will trade for a 1 or a 5 to replace Wannamaker or Looney in the rotation for the home stretch. If a 1, George Hill would be amazing. If a 5 (most likely) I could see RoLo or Dieng. Oh and Steph for MVP ;)

Clearly the Warriors could’ve swept both the Portland and Clippers, but Kerr is punting a few games here and to keep us out of a top 10 record. Gotta keep that pick.

Wiseman can play with second unit while still allowing EP to go to work, let wiseman spot up n EP go to work in the paint

So great that Steph and Draymond wouldn’t give up. This was definitely a team effort but I got the feeling like the team could’ve given up a little when down by 20, and maybe the Clips eased up a bit then, but Steph just pushing and pushing had to be an inspiration to those who haven’t played many games with him. Then everybody caught fire.

Warriors now with a winning record... and confidence.

Also I feel like most of wiseman's minutes have been with oubre on the court, he will be much more effective with a lineup like curry d Lee wiggins dray n wiseman who can stretch the floor n utilize his vertical spacing

I can't wait til poole starts hooping and takes wannamakers spot, I honestly feel he can bring everything wannamaker does but better once he gets in rhythm

Honestly that was the second game in a row we looked like the better team

Damn! That was fun!

The best part of the game had to do with none of the players. It was when Kerr had that huge fist pump when someone (I think possibly Wanamaker) got a stop on PG

On the positive side, I am extremely glad that I seem to have been very wrong about Paschall. Dude is murdering lumbering bigs out there. Our bench is a positive on most nights and a lot of credit should go to Paschall. Still don't know how useful he is against top-level talent unless he becomes a more well-rounded player, but he definitely has his uses.

Also, Mulder and Lee need to play more. I know defense suffers, but we need the shooting more than the defense.
