I watched every minute and was bored annoyed and disappointed. I mean: yuck. But guys, this is what it means to be a middling team, which we’ve been all season. Some nice wins, some close wins, some close losses, some humiliating defeats. All in more or less equal proportion. This is who the Dubs are. Wipe your tears at the end of Q4 and move on. Next game we will howl with joy at Steph’s theatrics. But I like this team a whole lot more than the consistently unwatchable 2019-2020 version.
It felt like the team came out looking fine, the Mavs drilled a couple of tough shots while the Warriors rattled them out, Draymond's defense looked hardcore, Steph made some of those 3's that put the fear into the opposing defense... and then the house of cards collapsed.
The Mavs got more open looks in transition. The Warriors committed stupid turnovers in transition. The Mavs made tough shots. The Warriors airballed open looks. The Warriors committed dumb fouls. The Mavs got away with their fouls. The Warriors got more upset, and the problems just compounded.
For at least the third time this season, and probably much more than that, the entire team, from top to bottom, played like chumps. It makes you embarrassing to say you're a fan, because who could possibly be a fan of the lump of dung these guys put out there tonight?
I get it, sometimes blowout losses happen, but there was no good reason this one should have been this bad. This was a serious mental breakdown on top of bad luck, and the fact that it keeps happening raises big concerns about the future of the team and the plausibility of the claims to want a Spurs-like dynastic run. How are you supposed to be consistent for 20 years when you can't even be consistent on a night-to-night basis?
My sincerest condolences to all the fans who attended this game. You were supposed to see a sporting event, not a public humiliation.
Let's hope the squad can rally and make it up next game. They still have all the pieces to be really scary... some nights.
Man, I'm really disappointed in this team. I usually get over these losses pretty quick but tonight felt different. I still can't believe what I saw- I mean 29 points at halftime?! You gotta be kidding...
Idk what else to say, I still believe in Steph and Dray but fuuuck even they make it difficult sometimes lol
The Warriors emphatically let us know they're not ready for the playoffs tonight. Losing is one thing but allowing a run like that to start the game is a different story. It's not even like the Mavericks are some 3 time defending world champions, that was just flat out embarrassing especially in a game of this magnitude. Of course the playoffs are a still a very real possibility but looks like we might not want to see this team in it.
This roster construction oof. No shot-creation at all. The worst thing about the 28-0 run was that after missing a few decent open looks (I think Mulder, Wiggins and Oubre all bricked wide open 3s), we just devolved into god knows what offensively. JTA trying to iso, Poole trying to iso, Steph putting up a double contested 40 footer (in which he was probably fouled too lol).
Just terrible. I would say those are the signs of a young team, but this isn't a young team anymore is it. After Wiseman's injuries and Nico's banishment, the only young guy is Poole. The next youngest is Oubre and Looney at 25. That's not really a young team. Losing our composure like that in that run was definitely not what I expected, especially with Draymond and Steph fit.
Knicks & Wizards both lost Monday, so the longest winning streak is currently held by both the Nets & the Spurs with 3 games ..... and the surprising Twolves - with 2 straight wins over the #1 team in the West & tonight's win over the worst team in the West.
Minnesota now has a 19-44 record and a .302 winning % - 3rd worst record in the NBA - but is now just percentage points behind Detroit [19-43 / .306] for 4th worst. Orlando [18-43 / .295] now has the 2nd worst record and Houston [15-47 / .242] has the worst.

What a damn roller coaster ride of a season. Can we either just suck for good or actually be good. None of this in between bull crap
.soooo who the 49ers taking at QB? Any chance they buy low on deshaun now?
So let me guess.
We've gone from "The best 500 team in the league" to "The worst 500 team in the league".
What a weird game, oh well on to the next.
Come on, Dray caught yawning in a FIRST quarter TO. Silver linings: now we lose with Minny and so we almost kick them out of top three lottery

Let's face it, no one is going to forget this game!! But, moving on...............
Ryoken happened to be wearing warriors merch that day and was only too happy to hand it over to the now emotionally burdened thief

My one game that I attend for the year, and I wasted money on that garbage...
Rough one. Lots of standing around the 3 point line today.
This game is that “ Special announcement “ ?
After games in the last 2 days, here is where we're at:
1] Jazz - 44-17 - L2 [lost to Twolves - again]
2] Suns - 43-18 - W1 [beat Knicks]
3] Clippers - 43-20 - L1 [lost to Pelicans]
4] Nuggets - 40-21 - W2 [beat Grizzlies]
5] Lakers - 36-25 - W1 [beat Magic]

Not only did we lose but Steph lost ground on beal in scoring.
This game definitely gave me a little concern for the play in game. You can't count on this team to show up just because it's an important game.
