As expected they tinkered with lineups in the first half. unfortunately, either foul trouble led to lineups unused to playing together, or rusty lineups led to foul trouble.
Curry, Poole, Klay starting next game? Gotta find a rhythm with Steph starting. Gentlemens sweep upcoming. 🧹
Never thought I'd see the Warriors lose because of curry's poor ft shooting.
The whistles were rough both ways. Seemed to really take the Warriors out of rhythm. Clearly losing Draymond at the end didn't help matters.
Bad shooting night. It happens.
Nuggets were fighting for their lives. Beating the same team four times in a row is really hard.
It feels like the best Denver can hope for at this point is a random ending victory. Warriors are the better team, but the Nuggets really gave it their all.
The Kuminga minutes were fun. Not necessarily effective, but fun.
Draymond and Wiggins did great stepping up to score very efficiently, and it was needed: Poole was awful scoring wise, Curry’s efficiency was very mediocre by his standards and Otto remains completely devoid of shooting thus far into the playoffs :( we’re really gonna need him to be the badass floor spacer he is to beat the Bostons and Bucks of the playoffs.
Add in some very fortunate shooting by Morris, Hyland and Gordon (5-11 which for him this series is great lol) and some brutal minute restrictions for a red-hot Klaybot due to fouls, and that’s a mighty delicate and hard-to-replicate recipe the Nuggets are going to have to re-create in Chase Center.
Stephen Curry on his 10 of 14 on free throws: “I miss free throws I hate it, it’s the worst feeling in the world because it’s what I do really well. I’m glad I got there 14 times because it speaks to how I feel physically … being aggressive.”
Earlier than planned entry for Steph Curry because of two Klay Thompson fouls. They had to call him in from the warm up bike in the tunnel. Sprinted out like it was WWE. Delay of game warning.
Klay Thompson on Game 5: "We’ve got to go into it like this is a must win. We’d like to get some rest before next series and we don't want to travel back to Denver. We’ve got to come with the mindset that we have something to prove, that it’s a must win."
A lotta white guys really love basketball because it allows them to be aggressive, abusive and super racist to black men playing for rival teams. They hide their racism as fandom.
A lot of em are just straight up racist. Some of em don't like to think of themselves as racist even though they really are. Being a white man and acting aggressive and abusive to black men is just straight up racist no matter what anyway.
And then some of em wanna argue about this, defending other white dudes and outing themselves as racists too.
Seeing the Suns and Grizzlies in a dogfight makes me feel a bit better about today's loss. Game 5 isn't technically a must win but you lose that game and a lot of doubt will start to creep in. Let's finish the job properly. No close game. Blitz them from the jump and show no mercy.
Kerr is so funny man, you dont play kuminga at all first 3 games, barely play him at center all year, then you throw away all your conservatism and have him guard demarcus and jokic.
You see him play well in 11 minutes and Iggy suck all game so second half you put iggy, our best team defender on boogie cousins?!
Iggy guarding cousins literally wastes all his defensive talents while him being a negative ok the offensive side

Gentlemen forgot broom 🧹. They will bring Golden brooms on Wednesday.
Didn't catch the whole game.

Let's finish this in five!
Not worried at all about Game 5.

"We all go through tough shooting nights where we're not feeling like ourselves. That's just part of the playoffs."

Payne is 0/12 threes, Crowder is 1/17 threes, Bridges is 2/9 threes, and Shamet is 2/10 threes in the series so far.

Pelicans tie the series 2-2. Wow, didn't think the Pels would do this.

Wow. Nola showed out tonight.
And found their Draymond Green. Holy shit Herb Jones.
Go pels!
