NBA has launched an investigation into the blazers, but his line struck me as strange: " Payton's agent denied a key part of that report, however, telling Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes on Saturday that Payton "never took Toradol shots to be available for games during his time in Portland."

If nothing else, we need the talisman of GP2 — even if out for the season — to break the black cloud hanging over this team.

Man, this team is a tough, frustrating watch right now. Draymond was incredible on defense at the end, but just a huge liability on offense. Klay was a huge liability at both ends. I still think team can win the west, but we need healthy gp2 to do it. And it's gonna take luck I don't know if we have it.

Didn't Watch today. Based on the comments and that final score to a lebron-less lakers, I'm glad I didn't.

The Warriors are DONE and I'm sad

This year's team has two really annoying traits:

1. We string together a few good plays and then revert to spurts of selfish dribbling/chucking, nullifying any gains we had. "Good to great" has not really existed consistently this year.

2. 50/50 plays are probably 20/80 in the opponent's favor

Kind of related to (1): the number of threes we chuck up reduces our game to a game of blackjack... we're hoping high variance falls in our favor... but like blackjack, the longer you play the more you're guaranteed to lose.

Next home game, can we just extend the kids halftime game to the whole second half?

I like seeing people trying and having fun.

That was pathetic. Ick. Wish I could unwatch.

Bunch of games we could have won if Klay was just below average instead of terrible. His extremes are tough to deal with sometimes.

Glad we got the chip last year.

From Feb 9th to March 7th (really through March 30th) last year, we were garbage, just saying . . .

For a team who’s hallmark is supposedly selflessness, our two primary scoring options are prone to being pretty selfish.

Davis and Beasley shot the ball poorly for the Lakers tonight. But Vanderbilt, DLo, Schroder, and even Hachimura took care of the job tonight.

As for the Warriors, Ty and Draymond were fine, but JMG and DDV were off, Wiggins and Poole were below average, and Klay was awful.

Klay and Wiggins with ZERO points in the 4th. What the heck!

So this is how the Dynasty ends... not with a Bang but with a whimper...

Thinking about the offseason is much more entertaining than this team's play on the floor. Who will be our GM? Will Klay and/or Dray be dealt? What about Poole? Might Kerr step down? If someone offers a boatload for Wiggins, do they consider it?
