Feel free to vent and be irresponsible. Just be kind to other LGWers.

This isn't a win for Dallas, they should have lost. Kristaps was out of bounds and the Doncic three should be annulled.

Luka's career high in 3's in 8. He went 7/12 tonight. Couple tough calls: the Doncic offensive fouls for 6 FTs, the missed basket interference, the Curry travel, the KP OOB, and the Dray non-flagrant hurt. Oubre was oof tonight. Fell down 16 in the first 5 min. Still a 2 point game. Moral victory I guess?

These B2B home games are so tough because if the teams are in the same stratosphere as each other it's going to be a split almost every time. Hard to get a win streak going

We'll see what happens in San Antonio when it's literally a B2B.

Dallas isn't great, but they're tough to beat when they make 21 of 47 from 3.

Not a terrible result on the road with every player over 6'8 injured.

Richardson came into this game shooting 27% from three, Doncic 29%.

Combined 11 for 18 from those two. Brutal.

A very sensible take, as disappointing as the result is

Welp missed the game here but everything pretty much went how I thought it would.. unfortunately without the win

Another game where the Warriors fouled themselves out of a victory. Take away those 3 fouls shots at the end of the third when Bazemore fouled Hardaway 40 feet from the basket with the shot clock winding down and who knows what happens.

Also, I'm a big JTA fan, but he hasn't earned the right to get a technical foul lol.

Definitely some rough breaks in crunch time, that missed out of bounds call and that missed shot that took a horrible deflection of the rim right back to the Mavs.

IIRC that wasn't the only time we fouled a 3-pt shooter this game.

The two Luka step-in plays to draw the foul and subsequent phantom travel on Curry when he did the same...

Expand full comment

That's fine. I think mentally we showed a lot. I see a good couple of games coming up for the Warriors.

Expand full comment

Curry is done with his 3 ptrs for couple of games

Expand full comment

What a waste of Curry’s 57 points...sigh

Expand full comment

At one point midway thru the 3rd, I thought he had a chance of breaking Klay's record.

Expand full comment

Not a waste. I liked it. It made up for all the Oubre frustrations...

Expand full comment

Can they overturned the win because the Kristaps dropped the ball out of bounds and annull the three that Doncic made?

Expand full comment

Was the plan to double Luka? Seemed like JTA freelanced and so Wiggins was late rotating to corner

Expand full comment

Err was it Dray rotating to corner? Well, whoever rotating to corner

Expand full comment

Draymond

Expand full comment

Shoulda fouled but since we didn't, why are we doubling one pass away and giving up a wide open corner three?!?!

Expand full comment

Didn’t want Luka taking the shot

Expand full comment

You take a Luka step back over a wide open 3 from an easy one pass away

Expand full comment

Agreed, but I think that’s why JTA(?) went to double

Expand full comment

Unfortunately Draymond did end up with a 5 x 5 - just in 2 of the wrong categories [TO & fouls]

Expand full comment

Almost a 6 x 5! (4 blocks)

Expand full comment

Didn't deserve to win that game

Well, to be honest, I was only hoping for a split, and figured DAL would come back hard after we smacked them.

But yeah. I think I need a snack.

Expand full comment

Yea. That + ice cream. And lots of chocolate & caramel. And cookies.

Sorry. I'm out of your time zone by a coupla hours. It'd be melted and/or eaten by the time I could get it to you.

And I wouldn't count on it being melted.

HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF DRY ICE

Expand full comment

LOL You big city boys just have all the answers don't you.

Expand full comment

I think a big part that hurt was when Wiggins made two in a row in the beginning of the fourth and then we went to oubre like 3 plays on a row

Expand full comment

We didn't go to oubre oubre went to oubre three times in a row off of one pass in the system

Expand full comment

I don't think anything good has ever come from going to oubre 3 plays in a row.

Expand full comment

Except last game and the lakers game lol
