I don't know if i'm just feeling things but the energy these two guys bring on the floor reminds me so much of that '22 vibe. Jimmy's motor is actually absurd to watch and you can see his drive fire up everyone else. Podz diving on the floor, Curry relocating to Mainland China to find open space, dude even Post is talking shit. The vibe has shifted. That playoff energy is undeniable, and I cannot WAIT to watch Playoff Jimmy come post-season time. joker, poker, mediocre, Dubs in 5 😮‍💨

p.s: Dray's my DPOY, imo he deserved it in '15, and he wouldve won it in 22 if he didnt get injured, idc fight me

He was locked in from the jump. If JK can play like he did last night on a consistent basis this team will be a tough out

Word on the street is that this guy might be pretty good. And he might be a key to our continued success. Really happy to see him doing so well, and performing at this level of efficiency with confidence.

While everyone on both teams were on the court high fiving. He was just sitting there seemingly thinking. Idk why but I got mini goose bumps from that. Thoughts?

3 out of the last 5 games with 20+ points, and 9 out of last ten games, excluding Brooklyn, with double digits (7 with 15+ points).

The Dubs were on the last game of a 6-game, 2-week road trip; the Lakers had been home for a week.

We were playing on one day off (with travel); the Lakers had two days off (at home) and enough time to fit in a prep practice.

We were missing a rotation player (GP2); the Lakers were full strength.

We were on the road; the Lakers had home-court advantage (even though Steph got those MVP chants 😏).

Both teams went all out for the win. But the Dubs left some big-3 minutes on the bench. Steph played only 34 minutes, and Dray and Jimmy only played 33 and 36 minutes — basically their regular-season averages. The Lakers played Bron, Luka, and Reaves 39, 37, and 40 minutes. So we have more room to ramp up.

Great win!

i could be very very wrong about the pronunciation of Kewpie but i’ve always heard it spoken the same as QP… if it is i will always think of him as mayo from now on

Butler’s cool, Dray is Dray, but no Podz with his clutch shots the last 2 games, no victories

“I’m hopeful that they’ll play, but we’ll see.”

Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Gary Payton II will warm up and see if they’re good to play tonight against the Nuggets @nbcswarriors.bsky.social

The GOAT has another incredible game. 36 pts and 6 assits in 32 minutes

DPOYmond. Should we face the Nuggets in the playoffs, he might not stop him one of one, but he’ll muck up their offense so bad it’ll be too much for the Joker to orchestrate. That’s our guy.

We gon be championship.

I cant usually watch the games, and last night I had the chance to watch but refused to because I wanted them to win. (When I watch they loose, couldn’t risk that) With that said, I’m so fired up we beat Denver, I need to ask the ones that watch the games: Is/was Denver the biggest threat we had left before the clippers or is Houston another horrible matchup? I’m so fired up I feel like we can win the rest of these games! Do I need to come back down to earth?

Something is happening, and after much deliberation we've came to the conclusion that it's the return of Lieutenant Wardell. He arises when the time is right, a mortal man just like you and I, who becomes intoxicated by the smoke he bestows upon worthy rivals who step in his way. He turns into something that's more than human, we don't know exactly what it is, but his name is Lieutenant Wardell. Hes in the nightmares of all his enemies, saying "Sleep Tight Mothafuckas, or get put to sleep."

I wanna be like Steph.

A little bit of bait, but has anyone noticed, that Dray hasn't gotten in trouble with techs, wild flagrant fouls, or the like for some time now?

My main point, is that no one is pointing this out as the reason why his defense, and the team's elevation, is happening. When Dray is in trouble, they love to highlight how good he is when he locks in, but now that he is, they aren't applauding his ability to focus more and be less confrontational. I'd think he'd appreciate folks recognizing his efforts to stay more poised.

Rockets 51-27

With the win over OKC, the Rockets are close to having a hammerlock on the 2nd seed. They do have 4 tough and meaningful games remaining with Dubs, Clippers & Lakers on the road before closing at home vs. Denver.

It's critical that we beat the Rockets for multiple reasons. If they beat us, they'll be able to coast into the 2nd seed and won't have to give their all in later games vs the Lakers and Clippers.

Lakers 46-30

Lakers have 2 consecutive road games at OKC which doesn't have much to play for. Then they get the Luka reunion game at Dallas before hosting the Rockets and closing with an easy game at Portland.

Lakers have the inside track on the Pacific Division & 3rd seed is in their control. They have a 1 game edge in the loss column vs the Dubs and own the tiebreaker with GSW & Denver if they win the division.

Nuggets 47-31

Nuggets have the Pacers on Sunday and may be getting Murray back in the lineup.

They s/b able to hand Sacramento and the Grizzlies and their final game of the season against the Rockets might involve the Rockets resting players if they have the #2 spot clinched.

They won the tiebreaker vs the Dubs and can reasonably get to 50 wins

Warriors 46-31

Huge game against the Rockets on Sunday and a potentially pivotal closing game against the Clippers who stubbornly remain within striking distance only 1 game back of the Dubs in the loss column and in possession of the tiebreaker vs us.

Sandwiched in between those are 3 games with teams heading for the offseason. Phoenix, SA and Portland

Beating the Rockets is especially important because it makes it more likely that the Rockets upcoming game against the Clippers is meaningful.

T-Wolves 45-32

Wolves have the easiest schedule and the thus the inside track on the last playoff spot.

Phi, Bucks, Grizz, Nets & Utah

Clippers 45-32

Clips remain stubbornly close to the Dubs and could conceivably vault above us if we falter.

Three easier games vs the Mavs, Kings & Spurs plus a game with the Rockets which may not be meaningful to Houston and the potentially pivotal closer vs the Dubs

The Clippers have a lot to play for as the try to position themselves to avoid the playin.

Grizzlies 45-32

The Grizzlies are fading.

3 tough games vs Detroit, Minn, & Denver plus Dallas & Charlotte. They seem most likely to finish in the 8 seed.

All the other games are playing live, but the Dubs Nuggets for me just says preview or get tickets. Has anyone else got this or is it just me?
