I bet DLee woke up pissed this morning. He’s got a nice floater too. Even if Avidja was 7 ft tall (which he is not) Lee could have just kissed a teardrop off the glass and jumped on the scorers table or something. Instead he’s at brunch at Stephs house with Curry kids asking, “uncle Damion, why didn’t you just make the layup to win the game? that’s what daddy would have done”.

Will Payton II play against Houston? Anyone got any thing on this? He's got the DNA, does he have the goods, though?

Taking a look at the gameflow.

Poole-DLee-Bazemore-Oubre-Wiseman played ~3 minutes in the 2nd quarter and went +6 and Poole-DLee-Bazemore-Wiggins-Wiseman played 6 minutes in the 4th and went +10.

Did we finally find a bench combination that works? I've been wanting to see that 4th quarter one for some time; it actually has shooters to spread the floor and Wiseman to take advantage of it.

Though, would be better if Poole's scoring hadn't cratered the past couple weeks, still Poole was +7, he couldn't buy a bucket but seemed to run the PnR alright, and got help with the playmaking with a couple assists each from Oubre and Wiggins in their bench stints.

I missed the game. Can someone explain what happened? I personally had a hunch we'd lose to Houston. Didn't think it'd be the wizards.

Any team but the worst rebounding team in the league would've won this one after Westbrook bricked the open three. It's as simple as that.

Tomorrow feels like a must win after that...

I thought wiseman actually had one of his best games and didnt try to do too much, still some sloppy play but overall decently solid. This loss is bc of a multitude of reasons but if I have to blame one person it's Kerr. How do you not foul there?!?!

On the bright side, Wolves lose in OT in a game they were up 17 points, the Spurs and Grizzlies both lost (actually that just makes this L hurt more), and Jessup was a flamethrower in Australia last night.

Inexcusable loss, we need someone other then draymond to be able to light a fire under this team. Jta seems to be that type of leader who is consistent with communication and accountability, but it kind of throws him under the rug when kerr doesnt even play him (I know he was injured tonight)

Kerr is very liberal when it comes to players but very conservative with X n Os it's kind of weird

How in the cosmos can we be seeing Wiggins slumping on 3s and FTs while Oubre is shooting well again, with them switching AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AGAIN in the same season? How is it possible? It's not even about the Warriors' season at this point, I just want to understand the science of it!*

That was tough. 3:00 in we played pretty strong, steals, dunks, well played. Until the Wiggins foul and D.Lee I don’t know what. And usually Wiggins doesn’t make boneheaded fouls and usually D.Lee makes the right decision. Total bummer.

Not trying to keep harping on draymond but if anything this season has shown his leadership skills aren't nearly where he thinks they are in his head, curry and draymond have both not done a good job leading by example.

How can draymond tell wiseman not to shoot fadeaway midranges when he shot two 1 FOOTED midranges tonight?

Some low iq ball. Sloppy play

That ending was destined to be in Random Ending territory and it lived up to it.

Also that Draymond midrange shot near the end of the game was just undisciplined. If there are over 10 seconds on the shot clock, reset the offense and give the ball back to Curry to attack Bertans or Lopez. Horrible shot by Draymond that ended up really mattering.

Did anyone play a good game besides Oubre?
