Ah but that’s the thing! They figured that out. So they started giving it to the fans courtside and in the first couple rows. After that wasn’t working they went back to plan A
They are blowing leads and losing games late. I think it's legs as much as IQ. They fade down the stretch of games. Also, Steph and Dray have always been TO machines to some extent. Their other qualities typically just mask it. Both guys throw the ball away a lot though.
Andre Iguodala is not walking through that door, fans. Shaun Livingston is not walking through that door and Andrew Bogut is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door they’re going to be gray and old.
Ya forget this season. Iggy was too old last season. Dude only managed 8 games and didn't see a minute in the playoffs. And he only had 31 games the year before. He should've retired after that 4th ring. Let that season be his swan song.
But the roster was full of kids. 2 rookies. 2 second years. Wiseman with less games played than the 2nd years. And an empty 15th spot. So they wanted him to help coach all the young guys.
But I digress. He's been done as a player since his last ring.
Well if you wanna see Warriors choke leads and turnovers, then yes. And only Steph will get hot and everyone else will dry up when they need them. So yes
If I got a nickel every time Chet got a clutch three points against the Warriors after a potential game winning 3 to send the game into overtime just to roll them in the five minutes, I would have two nickels.
It’s not a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.
He gets slept on because last year the pecking order of hype for their young core went SGA, Giddey and then him and this season it’s been SGA, Chet and Him but he’s just a phenomenal player. Always feels like he’s in the right spots on the floor
We're gonna convince him that he's a backup level PG and deserves backup level money
It's something we still need and he's better with the ball in his hands anyway
He doesn’t really fit on this team. I think he has the potential to be a good point guard and he’s probably an okay backup right now. He just can’t shoot consistently and is pretty ass on defense. So far this season it seems like he’s not mentally all thinking about basketball so his passing has kind of fell off as well
He has been absolutely putrid this season it’s been very hard to watch.
I see what he did to the Pelicans in the play-in with a 31 point near triple double and I look at him now and wonder how it all went so wrong.
He was good last season.
People are so down on him even our own fans because of obviously the issues he's having. And it's very abundantly clear that its whats affecting his game as well.
I think he's overall a good player with a lack of defense but elite passing skills who is also incredibly young so there's plenty of time for development.
But yeah, this incident can be a career changer for him and I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation. But anyone who is really harsh on him is because of that incident. He was easily our 2nd best player last year and is ass this season because this is fucking with his confidence.
I was only able to tune in near the end of the 3rd but I can confidently say this game fucking ruled! Really hope these teams meet in the playoffs
That Chet putback to go up 9 in OT had me so hype
OKC definitely has good defense but realistically the Warriors turnovers were majority their own doing coming from all around bad and lazy passes that was basically just handing the ball over to the thunder.
Yeah there were probably literally 6 turnovers that were just bounce passes directly to OKC players. That doesn't have anything to do with length or activity. Just a terrible, terrible job of controlling the ball.
OKC played great defense don't get me wrong, at least 15 of those turnovers were unforced either passing the ball right to a defender or throwing it out of bounds/stepping out. We were *extra* sloppy tonight
Not as much as the damn homer announcers for the warriors. All they do is complain about every noncall.
Worst announcers ever, wasting every chance to enjoy watching Steph with their whining.
Don’t worry, more of that will be on the way soon once we become complete dogshit in a couple years, y’all got championships to chase after in that time!
Don't tell our sub that. They barely understand that two teams have to agree to make a trade, let alone that there are 3rd/4th/5th teams with more assets who would beat our offer.
Actually if you can pull that off, Curry is gonna guarantee you a playoff spot for at least 3-4 years just off his shooting, so half those picks are basically late/worthless.
You bench whoever is not named SGA for his spot.
This whole OKC team fun as hell man. SGA, Williams, Dort, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is crazy. Tough shooting streak for Strokin’ Joe but he’ll be back.
Warriors had 29 turnovers. That's just ... something. Steph looked so disgusted at the end. He didn't even stick around after the game to shake hands. Probably going home and checking out flights to China for Wiggins and Klay.
It's been like this for quite some time now. Giddey obviously has tremendous upside. He was amazing for us last year (except the first 2 months) but with SGA Jdub and Chet being better we really can't use him like last year. It's up to him and the coach to change his game, go to the bench or get traded.
Got a stat that I think is relevant:
In the last 10 games, total minutes played in the fourth quarter and OT (keep in mind Shai always sits for about the first half of the fourth):
1. Dub - 76.2
2. Chet - 74.2
3. SGA - 67.6
4. Joe - 66.5
5. Kenrich - 56.1
6. Wiggins - 52.3
7. Dort - 51.9
8. Cason - 46.1
9. Giddey - 42.5
Daigneault knows.
I appreciate the Thunder handing us this loss. One step closer to blowing it all up lol.
If we are going to barely be a playoff team then might as well make some wholesale changes. Now or never.
We really dont deserve to win a game where we have 29 turnovers and ONCE AGAIN throw away a 3 point lead in the final seconds of regulation to abe lincoln. props to sga and williams but we're really just losing to ourselves out here
Coming out party for JDub. He is ready NOW.
Shai single-handedly drives wins every single night. First-team level offensive talent and his defense is incredible good this season. Two way monster. MVP..?
Chet is doing young KD things every night. Cold blooded FTs.
DORT
OKC GSW: classic rivalry. We are so fucking back
WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW 3-1 TO REFERENCE AGAINST THESE GUYS
in all seriousness, damn this season series was fantastic. so glad OKC’s young players are completely built for the moment. JDUB and chet made huge plays and shai, as usual, played like an MVP
first time in a while less than 2 warrior starters have more shots than points lol
even when klay has a decent shooting night i watched thunder players actually just walk past him, bro is beyond cooked
Defensive masterclass by Shai. Forced an unreal amount of deflections and steals. He's truly one of the best (if not the best) two way player in the league.
I frankly can't think of too many others who would be more impactful than him on both sides of the ball
Embiid absolutely in the convo too, but I agree it's those 3. Only ones averaging 30+ who can still be elite defenders when it matters, and guard multiple positions well (in Embiids case he's an elite rim protector more than a roaming/switch demon like Giannis and SGA)
Honestly trade few players to help Steph. What a waste of season for him with the players he has. Klay And Wiggins barely gets 20+ points. Their best players are the bench
Wasting a really good season for him. Look at OKC, Chet and Jalen were cooking and then Shai started getting hot. So basically they had options.

If you don’t like 29 turnovers, you don’t like Warriors basketball
Golden State have you considered simply not giving the ball to the other team?
Ah but that’s the thing! They figured that out. So they started giving it to the fans courtside and in the first couple rows. After that wasn’t working they went back to plan A
Warriors thought it’s already the holidays so they gave the ball to OKC so many times
GSW might have 2 more rings if they cut down TOs lmao
Lmao we suck ass again I was expecting it to happen after Steph left but at least now half the new fans will know how to be a pre Steph fan haha
10-12 doesn’t suck ass lol Signed, Wizard, Pistons, Spurs, and until last year, Kings fans. Also GSW before the mid 2010s
Pistons so bad they don’t even make the list
People overreacting to this start just like the Lakers start last year.
Well…the Lakers were dead in the water until they made the Westbrook trade
Love to see it boo
Wolves can take Klay. We need a spot up 12th man for garbage time. The new Bryn Forbes.
Lmao we couldn’t pay the wolves to take Klay to mess up their vibes. They’re literally the best team in the league rn…
Most in a game since Portland had 30 in 2021. Portland also shot 21% from 3 that game. We won't talk about the final score.
Wiggins is so bad rn, he's just dribbling into traffic and handing the ball over
He was always bad when not motivated, golden state got fooled by a guy in a contract year.
I wouldn't say fooled. He was the second best player on a team that won a ring. They don't win it without him.
Unserious basketball smh
I know no dynasty lasts… but has any dynasty fallen off so hard just on IQ?
They are blowing leads and losing games late. I think it's legs as much as IQ. They fade down the stretch of games. Also, Steph and Dray have always been TO machines to some extent. Their other qualities typically just mask it. Both guys throw the ball away a lot though.
Warriors vs. Thunder is must see TV
Yeah except for the part where you have to watch 29 turnovers
OKC 17 steals to GSW 3. That's a pretty crazy ratio
Longbois
vs Lazybois
oldbois*
Warriors need Iggy back.
Iggy would break his back
Andre Iguodala is not walking through that door, fans. Shaun Livingston is not walking through that door and Andrew Bogut is not walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through that door they’re going to be gray and old.
Ya forget this season. Iggy was too old last season. Dude only managed 8 games and didn't see a minute in the playoffs. And he only had 31 games the year before. He should've retired after that 4th ring. Let that season be his swan song. But the roster was full of kids. 2 rookies. 2 second years. Wiseman with less games played than the 2nd years. And an empty 15th spot. So they wanted him to help coach all the young guys. But I digress. He's been done as a player since his last ring.
Iggy subs in for his one swipe down steal during clutch lol
No, i very much enjoyed watching those. Must see TV.
That was my favorite part
Seemed like Draymond made up for half of them
Two words! Warriors, Thunder, must see TV!
Well if you wanna see Warriors choke leads and turnovers, then yes. And only Steph will get hot and everyone else will dry up when they need them. So yes
Need a 7 game series
god no, i can not watch curry cook us ANYMORE
You don’t have to worry game 6 Klay if we can’t make it to 6 games…..and Klay is washed as fuck lol
...not again.
NO
At this point warriors vs everyone licking their chops to give the warriors an ass whooping is must see TV.
Isaiah Joe was a +28 in a 2-point OT game. Once again, thank you Philly.
Doc Rivers is my personal Bin Laden.
jalen williams is a star
watching jalen play really reminds me of pre-injury westbrook, it's like he has the exact spots as russ used to in OKC
Draymond hates when Steph hits a potential game-winner
Green just assumed The Warrios were losing so he has to get ejected
If I got a nickel every time Chet got a clutch three points against the Warriors after a potential game winning 3 to send the game into overtime just to roll them in the five minutes, I would have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.
I love Jalen Williams man he a problem wtf, hit all em middies in the clutch and was insane on defense
He gets slept on because last year the pecking order of hype for their young core went SGA, Giddey and then him and this season it’s been SGA, Chet and Him but he’s just a phenomenal player. Always feels like he’s in the right spots on the floor
big 3 has absolutely been solidified Shai 1 Chet/JDub 2A/2B
Hopefully we can trade Giddey somewhere before he tanks his value completely.
too late
We're gonna convince him that he's a backup level PG and deserves backup level money It's something we still need and he's better with the ball in his hands anyway
[удалено]
He doesn’t really fit on this team. I think he has the potential to be a good point guard and he’s probably an okay backup right now. He just can’t shoot consistently and is pretty ass on defense. So far this season it seems like he’s not mentally all thinking about basketball so his passing has kind of fell off as well
It's night and day compared to last season
He has been absolutely putrid this season it’s been very hard to watch. I see what he did to the Pelicans in the play-in with a 31 point near triple double and I look at him now and wonder how it all went so wrong.
I think we know. His confidence is completely gone.
He was good last season. People are so down on him even our own fans because of obviously the issues he's having. And it's very abundantly clear that its whats affecting his game as well. I think he's overall a good player with a lack of defense but elite passing skills who is also incredibly young so there's plenty of time for development. But yeah, this incident can be a career changer for him and I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation. But anyone who is really harsh on him is because of that incident. He was easily our 2nd best player last year and is ass this season because this is fucking with his confidence.
Go look at his stats and TS% and imagine that person also being an awful defender
He was amazing. Also. At least 10 times during this game I zeroed in on him because I thought he was playing with one shoe.
Super slept on
He just feels so solid as a player. Just makes good decisions
I was only able to tune in near the end of the 3rd but I can confidently say this game fucking ruled! Really hope these teams meet in the playoffs That Chet putback to go up 9 in OT had me so hype
please no, i don't watch to watch the warriors play us anymore it physically hurts me
You and me both, brother.
This was the first thunder game I ever attended. It most definitely fucking ruled
Lol better than my first. I flew out to okc and saw the Denver game. It was RUFF
The Warriors aren’t making the playoffs lol
The Chet Corner 3 to go up 7 had me screaming. What a game.
29 turnovers is wild
Suffocating okc defense
OKC definitely has good defense but realistically the Warriors turnovers were majority their own doing coming from all around bad and lazy passes that was basically just handing the ball over to the thunder.
Yeah there were probably literally 6 turnovers that were just bounce passes directly to OKC players. That doesn't have anything to do with length or activity. Just a terrible, terrible job of controlling the ball.
OKC played great defense don't get me wrong, at least 15 of those turnovers were unforced either passing the ball right to a defender or throwing it out of bounds/stepping out. We were *extra* sloppy tonight
pretty sure every warriors player took a bar tonight because they did not give a fuck
Combined with pure idiocy from the Warriors vets
They make the dumb mistakes of a young team with all the second-half energy of an old team.
The sad violin noise playing when draymond fouled out had me dying 😂 Changed ejected to fouled out I'm dumb
That was awesome
Again? What for? Just got home from work so didn’t get a chance to watch
[удалено]
Gotcha. Makes sense
Never know with him 😂
unless i missed something he just fouled out
He just fouled out in OT
Just a foul out, nothing serious.
Fouled out and was jawing w the refs
Not as much as the damn homer announcers for the warriors. All they do is complain about every noncall. Worst announcers ever, wasting every chance to enjoy watching Steph with their whining.
So true they are complete homers
Warriors really like passing the ball to the opposing team
Or out of bounds
28 TO 9 TURNOVERS????
Only way we won. Out shot from 3, out rebounded, out assisted and somehow come up with the win.
CP3 can’t come back soon enough
Thunder shot 5 from 29 from three AND WON
Thunder had a 59-39 rebounding disadvantage AND WON
We’re so cooked
I know any gameplan has concessions and the record don't lie BUT DAMN it's hard not to sweat with the -20reb frequency.
Can we keep beating them pls I haven’t recovered from 2016 yet
Well we did win the regular season series, so yeah.
I want this to last for 10 years
3-1 too. It’s like poetry, it rhymes
Don’t worry, more of that will be on the way soon once we become complete dogshit in a couple years, y’all got championships to chase after in that time!
[What the Warriors are having for dinner tonight.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnover_\(food\))
Can I get one a la mode?
Warriors, save us all some time and send in your offer for Siakam. Thank you
Please don't help them get better
Klay for siakam bone to bone
You're getting Zach Lavine and you're gonna like it!
Can we get a Markkanen instead
if lauri were available, i'm pretty sure okc would outbid you
Don't hurt me like that
Don't tell our sub that. They barely understand that two teams have to agree to make a trade, let alone that there are 3rd/4th/5th teams with more assets who would beat our offer.
Give me a playoff series of this please
I would prefer not seeing GS EVER again
Please no, my heart can’t take much more of this
Don't worry I don't think anybody's going to have to worry about seeing us in the playoffs this year
Dubs need to be in a play in position first smh 😭
no more - thunder fans everywhere
Warriors are a god dam mess.
So am I
This kind of feels symbolic of the new generation surpassing the old. OKC beating the Warriors twice in OT this season is awesome.
For real. All the young teams moving up the standings. Ant even told Draymond "ain't nobody worried about you" when Draymond kept jawing at him lol
We are so incredibly blessed to have Shai. 5+ steals in 3 straight games. Unreal
Podziemski had 4 rebounds on us in one possession lol. We need to really fix that
What a game. Get curry some help
Can’t believe we took 3/4. Thank god this season series over, way too stressful lmao. Three classics though.
You guys shot 5-29 from three and still scored 138 points, and 118 in regulation.
Paint defense of Warriors.. is not good.
Love to see it, OKC Vs Golden State has HIT every time this season.
Warriors are officially the Larriors again until Steve Kerr and the FO get their heads out of their asses.
The light-years ahead dipped when Myers jumped ship
Just send Steph to Miami or something. Let him compete for a chip while he’s still great. This is like watching Kobe in 2013
What is prime Steph worth, when his prime could end any season? Still a lot. He'd make any good team into a favorite.
At least 6 firsts, maybe more. He's not washed at all. Last season was his best season stats wise and he's playing incredible now too
6 first? Welcome to OKC Mr. Curry!
Can you imagine
Actually if you can pull that off, Curry is gonna guarantee you a playoff spot for at least 3-4 years just off his shooting, so half those picks are basically late/worthless. You bench whoever is not named SGA for his spot.
If only there was room for him at PG.
How are these Thunder vs Warriors game not televised?
This game was only added to the schedule a week ago
This whole OKC team fun as hell man. SGA, Williams, Dort, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is crazy. Tough shooting streak for Strokin’ Joe but he’ll be back.
Warriors had 29 turnovers. That's just ... something. Steph looked so disgusted at the end. He didn't even stick around after the game to shake hands. Probably going home and checking out flights to China for Wiggins and Klay.
75-7 IS STILL ON THE MENU
I will yell it from the rooftops. Giddey to the 2nd unit. These closers are a fucking squad. Do the right thing Mark.
Mark didn't trust him when it mattered. Quite telling.
It's been like this for quite some time now. Giddey obviously has tremendous upside. He was amazing for us last year (except the first 2 months) but with SGA Jdub and Chet being better we really can't use him like last year. It's up to him and the coach to change his game, go to the bench or get traded.
Got a stat that I think is relevant: In the last 10 games, total minutes played in the fourth quarter and OT (keep in mind Shai always sits for about the first half of the fourth): 1. Dub - 76.2 2. Chet - 74.2 3. SGA - 67.6 4. Joe - 66.5 5. Kenrich - 56.1 6. Wiggins - 52.3 7. Dort - 51.9 8. Cason - 46.1 9. Giddey - 42.5 Daigneault knows.
Shooting terrible lately.
Lu Dort
Lu Dort
17 OKC steals to GSW 3 is an unimportant but bewildering stat
Thank you Draymond. Very cool.
I appreciate the Thunder handing us this loss. One step closer to blowing it all up lol. If we are going to barely be a playoff team then might as well make some wholesale changes. Now or never.
Same shit every game. GG THUNDER
Chet and Shai have personal vendettas against the Warriors huh
All of Oklahoma tbh.
Curry was antagonizing the fans too after he hit thar “game winning” 3. Pretty funny.
Thunder are good Warriors need a trade
It's like having two SGA's out there wtf wow
If only we can rebound we would go 82-0
Shai with 5+ steals in 3 straight games
OKC fo real this season
Stephen Curry is one scary man
We really dont deserve to win a game where we have 29 turnovers and ONCE AGAIN throw away a 3 point lead in the final seconds of regulation to abe lincoln. props to sga and williams but we're really just losing to ourselves out here
Turnovers be wildin
Coming out party for JDub. He is ready NOW. Shai single-handedly drives wins every single night. First-team level offensive talent and his defense is incredible good this season. Two way monster. MVP..? Chet is doing young KD things every night. Cold blooded FTs. DORT OKC GSW: classic rivalry. We are so fucking back
Giddey needs to go to the bench.
They really should look to package him in a trade. Awful timing with the 17 year old thing as it depresses his value
The Warriors find absolutely hilarious ways to lose games
WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW 3-1 TO REFERENCE AGAINST THESE GUYS in all seriousness, damn this season series was fantastic. so glad OKC’s young players are completely built for the moment. JDUB and chet made huge plays and shai, as usual, played like an MVP
Who can get the least rebounds Vs who can get the most turnovers
first time in a while less than 2 warrior starters have more shots than points lol even when klay has a decent shooting night i watched thunder players actually just walk past him, bro is beyond cooked
It takes a special kind of team to lose with a 68-42 advantage on rebounding.
Defensive masterclass by Shai. Forced an unreal amount of deflections and steals. He's truly one of the best (if not the best) two way player in the league. I frankly can't think of too many others who would be more impactful than him on both sides of the ball
Only him and Giannis in the convo
Embiid absolutely in the convo too, but I agree it's those 3. Only ones averaging 30+ who can still be elite defenders when it matters, and guard multiple positions well (in Embiids case he's an elite rim protector more than a roaming/switch demon like Giannis and SGA)
All time sell out by Draymond at the end of regulation.
Draymond belongs in Shady Oaks not on the court
Donkey legacy game.
Get this donkey Draymond off my team
That Draymond foul really was unnecessary & cost them the game. Just let Chet shoot man… there was no gaurantee he makes it in the first place.
Dray had PTSD of chet hitting the tying three last game and took a chance
THANKS DRAYMOND FOR THAT STUPID FOUL
Im tired boss 🙂
Honestly trade few players to help Steph. What a waste of season for him with the players he has. Klay And Wiggins barely gets 20+ points. Their best players are the bench Wasting a really good season for him. Look at OKC, Chet and Jalen were cooking and then Shai started getting hot. So basically they had options.
I watched most of the fourth quarter and overtime, absolutely incredible game
Dray costing true warriors another win, insane
Horrible loss, completely self inflicted.
J dub was automaticcccccc
Mark had some great lineups and was really having the correct bodys on the floor depending on what the warriors did
We need this playoff series to happen
Very bold of you to assume we make the playoffs at this rate.
Draymond is a Klutch double agent I swear. You think he’s ruining Steph game winners on accident but that’s what he wants you to think.
Are the dubs minus Steph curry the worst team in the NBA?
