As the NBA awaits the very soonish return of greatest point guard alive Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors are doing musical chairs with their 10-day contracts.
Tonight the Dubs will trot out another skeleton roster, but this time they’ll be put through an even deeper endurance test. They are on the road playing the Denver Nuggets in one of the hardest arenas to survive in the NBA. Forbes reported on the difficulties of playing in Denver:
“A recent study on randomness in North American sports using betting market odds data (read the full manuscript here and a blog post with a partial summary here)… found that the two NBA teams with the strongest home court advantages – and significantly so – were indeed those at the league’s two highest elevations: the Denver Nuggets, followed by the Utah Jazz.”
Can the Warriors steal a win tonight? Will Steph descend from the rafters like former WCW wrestler Sting? We’ll find out tonight!
Hahahahaha, Poole hot dogs it, bounces the ball off about three Nuggets faces, goes back to Poole, swings to TOSCANO of all people, who hits a corner three
Been out of the Warriors loop lately (self-imposed break from in-depth NBA stuff), but coming back to this game has been a really, really pleasant surprise.
I had step up away after the half. So glad that I didn't check the score and instead experienced the thrill of awesome 2nd half. Go Warriors!
And Wiggins trade was clearly a home run..

Tim Duncan coach tonight... Wolves won against, the Pelicans who is fighting for 8th seed, Warriors won against the Nuggets! What a night in the NBA!
the nuggets just lost at home to a g-league squad lol
Top players:
You guys decide this one.
At work can't watch live. Did we just kick the ass of Denver?!!!!
Hot take....Bob already won the Wiggins trade. Even without the pick.
Light years!
Hahahahaha, Poole hot dogs it, bounces the ball off about three Nuggets faces, goes back to Poole, swings to TOSCANO of all people, who hits a corner three
Been out of the Warriors loop lately (self-imposed break from in-depth NBA stuff), but coming back to this game has been a really, really pleasant surprise.
Wiggins-Chriss chemistry has been good tonight, with good passes in each direction
WGBD (We Gonna Beat Denver)!!
Looked like Paschall thought he was gonna switch with Mulder, but Mulder went with roll man.
They should hack Wiggins instead of Chriss!
QUESE!
Hack a Marq... results in one swish, two swishes
Hack-A-Quese?
Wiggins putting that 7'0" wingspan to use.
Totally unfair that Steph is joining this juggernaut that is on the verge of blowing out the #2 West team on the road.
HOW MUCH HELP DOES STEPH NEED?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL NUGGS
Wiggins proving the NBA wrong....playing with G-Leaguers.
11-0 run turns the game into a 16-point lead for the Warriors.
This game is so impossible lol
Wiggins with a steal 1-on-1 against Jokic. It's like Warriors fan fiction.
Hahaha DEN has been screening Jokic to get him isoed on Wigg, who then steals the ball
Oh damn! Wiggins with the steal!
Wiggins has been doing WORK on the boards, I really appreciate that.
heels looked like they were on the line
Yo just tuned in. Usually when I do that the Warriors lose the lead and/or lose outright. I'm the good luck charm of tanking.
This is why no one takes the Nuggets seriously for the post-season.
Of course, never underestimate this year's Warriors ability to blow a game
Overturned!
You can have your vote here about how GSW will blow the game
- Freak Kerr rotation
- Bad inbounds pass
- Absurd turnovers
- WE GONNA BE CHAMPIONSHIP

🟢!!
Throw the flag, coach!
fucking lol nuggs
Rooks coming up big in the 4th.
I want to believe!
Paschall has frozen water in his veins
I'm looking forward to our bench mob next year.
Just as long as the Warriors' (usual) 3pt defense doesn't show up here....
19-11 4th quarter points. Warriors-Nuggets.
Jokic just slowly unstoppably backed down Bender — who has def picked up the post D effort — and scored with the power of erosion
Paschall 3!
Denver underestimated our 15-point deficit POWER SPIKE
Maaaan, Plumlee is a very solid player. He just does all the little things you need to win, he's a winning player.
My man Poole is going to be in the rotation next year!
Poole with the sweet little bounce pass...must have sensed the haters on this thread and threw down to spite us.
i'm surprised they still have a lead after that soul crushing missed layup by bender, i was sure that was gonna turn the game around
Shit’s crazy!
