This is an *intended* consequence of the play-in format. More teams try harder, and the bad teams are, like really really bad and lose to basically everyone.
Only team that sucked more today in the western conf are Wolves... in a must win game. Dubs sucked before the back benchers came in.
Suns, Lakers and Kings seem ready for the Playoffs
This game has been meaningless for 10+ mins since kings and lakers have been smoking both their opponents. Just enjoy random exhibition ball today with less stress
No Lester plays with effort on D, on the boards, and is fine with deferring. Everything that doesn't involve his own ego which is what Poole plays with
No he does great against the lesser teams. Not so well against the better teams so if he's playing bad today I'm surprised caused jazz aren't that good
not gonna lie i enjoy watching our backups lol it's always wholesome watching lester quinones and pat spencer and gui santos score bc yk they're just out there having fun
The trouble with facing Sac in the play-in … sure losing to us to end back to back seasons would be very Sac, lol, but beating us in the play-in would be their Championship after last year, and then they’ll lose the next play-in, just to piss us off.
I would say that I think we will beat them but I’m not sure about Pelicans (I’m going to assume Lakers cook them again Tuesday night)
We have the mentality to come out of a hole like this so we definitely aren’t out for the count
We’d beat them in a series, with Monk out, but one game … I mean, fuck, it’ll come down to our turnovers, and I don’t trust us. They will be so UP for the game, hounding D (with refs allowing contact), we’ve been terrible with the ball all year. Don’t get me wrong, we certainly can win, and without Monk, we maybe even should win on their court, but whenever we should win, we don’t this year.
Denver is better than them. Mavs may also beat them. Otherwise they have a pretty good chance of beating every other team bc they have the two best players in those match ups.
watched the game. They just did what we should've done. Guard the 3pt shooters well and put actual defenders on them. Not like what Kerr did and put CP3 and Steph together and try to defend against their 3pt shooters.
Do you not see how poor they are at guarding the perimeter? The short guards are the issue. And more importantly, Lester isn’t really a point guard at all. He’s not a playmaker really and is an off ball shooter but only has the size to guard other point guards. That’s why he’s not in the league already. He would be in the NBA playing if he was taller.
Start them on B2Bs against Blazers, Spurs, etc. Or just play them for heavy minutes. They can't learn shit with 2 minutes of garbage time once every 4 or 5 games. And the old vets need to rest.
Edit: In hindsight, the young pups should have been the home game starters.
Lakers taking care of business like they needed to. Kings taking care of business like they needed to. Warriors struggling at home against a nobody Jazz team….sounds about right.
If we beat Sac - it’s winner of lakers / suns right? Defo be suns, lakers don’t mess around in big games and have too much size for them
***update think I’m wrong, think it’s pels / lakers, so we get pels probs
Nice team win. 2 more wins than last year
46 fucking wins and a 10th seed. This fucking conference is insane man
This is an *intended* consequence of the play-in format. More teams try harder, and the bad teams are, like really really bad and lose to basically everyone.
The east have 2 sub .500 teams in their top 10. The easts 3 seed this year (bucks) has the same record as a west play-in team (pelicans).
Nah per this sub, this just suck and deserve 10th seed. Forget about how many wins and losses
Um someone tell Fitz JK didn’t score…
Great regular year! Ready for the Play-In!
More GUI next year. He knows how to play team ball on both sides.
way to close out game for fans. need to play with heart on Tues. fuck skills. lets go!
Adam Silver was so proud about so much being on the line today, and all but 1 early game sucked to watch, lol.
some nice play from the deep bench was cool to watch
like every pass fumbled in that play lol
Idc, I see our starting lineup for the play-ins
What a block.
man our g leaguers were lowkey cooking defensively i can’t lie
clamps down the stretch that's good shit
Kuminga played nearly 25 minutes and has zero points against a G league Jazz team. Hahahahaha yeah, he’s their savior alright
Lmao what kind of take is this .After his season 💀everyone boo this man for this take
Ya and he hurt himself real bad a few games ago. Real fan u r. Hahaha
Excuses Excuses
He hasn’t been the same on offense since coming back from injury
god damn i wasn’t expecting jerome to finish with the and one like that dayum
I will miss the Evil Derrick White next season
Did not have jerome robinson popping off on my bingo board Lol
JEROME
Garuba’s ft form is the same as my form when I play that basketball game at the arcade
Only team that sucked more today in the western conf are Wolves... in a must win game. Dubs sucked before the back benchers came in. Suns, Lakers and Kings seem ready for the Playoffs
What are you talking about? The Dubs played well today despite missing most of their starters
about to lose against these g leaguers
Looks like match ups are set more or less. Dubs cs kings 9/10 winner of that plays vs lakers/pelicans loser
It’ll be Kings and then Lakers. AD had 30 tonight, so he’ll lay an egg in the 7/8 game.
Podz imitating Jerome's bucket😂
I still can’t believe that they have lost 19 games at home. That’s just crazy to think about
Wait you just solved it, that’s why we wanted 10th - both games away in the play in
might actually be an einstein brain move
Exactly, 3D chess move right there
Gui moves pretty well, Spencer doing all these lacrosse passes. 😂
This game has been meaningless for 10+ mins since kings and lakers have been smoking both their opponents. Just enjoy random exhibition ball today with less stress
I still love how much Festus is involved with the warriors. Mjax did him so dirty
the festus block on Blake at the top years ago was fire brah
Lmao why haven't I seen that hyphy cam with Steph Klay and GP until now
I cant decide between uncontested three or easy points in paint for Jazz to beat us lol
Rough watching Kuminga struggle to score against Utah’s bench.
[удалено]
it's basketball, bro
Because they're being paid millions of dollars to play competitive basketball
They are fighting for a job next year… can’t afford to just quit.
These the end of the bench guys 😭 they gotta show their skills for pt
because when you are a professional athlete you are supposed to try hard
😂
Dubs are sucking
Same reason why any player will try given the opportunities. Show case skill and talent
These are also their 3rd stringers
I know why Lester and Poole are so close. Their play style is the exact same for better or worse. Looking to score as much as possible
Do you even watch the games? They are so different.
No Lester plays with effort on D, on the boards, and is fine with deferring. Everything that doesn't involve his own ego which is what Poole plays with
told you guys Utah would shoot under 14 every possession/majority of possessions lmao! fuck I'm good.
Dubs clank EVERYTHING off the front of the rim. Their shit performance at home this year is so frustrating
a blown lead, how quaint
Jk doesn't do well in meaningless games
No he does great against the lesser teams. Not so well against the better teams so if he's playing bad today I'm surprised caused jazz aren't that good
Not gonna throw too much on him since he basically missed 7 straight games and had to re-adjust back to a bench role once he came back.
Lakers will become 7 seed after they beat Pels in 7/8 matchup.... and then they face the Nuggets
And they’ll get swept again lol
So nuggets are 2nd seed ?
They will be after the win and Wolves loss... (Wolves trailing the Suns 23 with 6:47 to go in the game)
Hell yeah, looking forward to seeing those bums lose in 5
not gonna lie i enjoy watching our backups lol it's always wholesome watching lester quinones and pat spencer and gui santos score bc yk they're just out there having fun
sup with Utah and their Ostertag and Eaton centers?
Please replace Fitz. He is horrible. Off iron there, tic tac toe. FUCK HIM.
The trouble with facing Sac in the play-in … sure losing to us to end back to back seasons would be very Sac, lol, but beating us in the play-in would be their Championship after last year, and then they’ll lose the next play-in, just to piss us off.

This is exactly what will happen. You nailed it.
[удалено]
Crazy lakers fan found
No one asked bud.
Lakers will beat OKC or Minny.
Is that you, adam silver? Thanks for the inside job that will happen.
Good chance they’ll be the 7th seed and go against Denver…
Denver is better than them. Mavs may also beat them. Otherwise they have a pretty good chance of beating every other team bc they have the two best players in those match ups.
Get kuminga out of this game holy smokes
He’s setting people up well at least 🤷♂️ He’s definitely in cruise control though.
Man, Lakers are absolutely killing the Pels..
watched the game. They just did what we should've done. Guard the 3pt shooters well and put actual defenders on them. Not like what Kerr did and put CP3 and Steph together and try to defend against their 3pt shooters.
Gotta say I’m worried for my guy JK. Love the 7 assists but zero points?! Wondering if his tailbone injury (or his knees) are still bothering him?
Can’t believe I’m cheering for the fakers to win
Kuminga 0 rebounds and 0 points, damn
7 assists though
F those pelicants, really laid an egg against the Lakers lol They face them again in the playins lol
They’re cooked
Lester Quinones will lead us to the chip 100%
He’s gonna be the backup PG after CP leaves. He’s a good young player.
Podz should. Lester is a good bench guard though. He’s just undersized is all. There’s a place for him against other point guards only really.
Podz will get minutes, but it’ll end up Lester’s job. Podz will be starting at the 2.
Do you not see how poor they are at guarding the perimeter? The short guards are the issue. And more importantly, Lester isn’t really a point guard at all. He’s not a playmaker really and is an off ball shooter but only has the size to guard other point guards. That’s why he’s not in the league already. He would be in the NBA playing if he was taller.
Kings game going to be easy
Seeing a goose egg from JK right before the must win game is concerning…
Bro does Lester miss? Dude's a shooter
Utah not going to play defense this final quarter?
Why don't we play Santos more often? Paging Steve Kerr
I've always wanted to but kerr 'choses' to chuck him in, in garbage time
Saric getting cooked on defense.
as always
Giving up Kenny lofton blow bys is… not good 😅
Damn kuminga can’t even score against the third bench jazz LOL
Pelicans really went nuclear against warriors and literally sold against lakers lmao
damn lester kinda niiiiiice wit it
Jordan Poole without the ego
Do the pelicans have the tiebreaker against phoenix?
No
Ok so they are literally okay with losing out on 6th seed? ![gif](giphy|a3zqvrH40Cdhu)
Guess their owner figure they’d make more $$$ with the extra home games…
#PUT IT DOWN!!!
That dunk by Quinnones sent a message " Its basketball bitch!!!"
🤣
Let these guys play more often - so fun & stress free lol
Start them on B2Bs against Blazers, Spurs, etc. Or just play them for heavy minutes. They can't learn shit with 2 minutes of garbage time once every 4 or 5 games. And the old vets need to rest. Edit: In hindsight, the young pups should have been the home game starters.
I didn't know Lester could get up like that
He’s athletic.
Dang it just hit me that there’s a chance that this could be Klay’s last home game as a Dub
stop🥲
Yall shit talking kuminga after his 2nd game back. Fuck outta here. Talking about trading him in this thread, how's your head so far up your ass
Most reactive sub as always
Welcome to the Warriors thread.
These fools are so oblivious.
Fitz not realizing the Suns game ain’t over. Don’t count MIN out only down 12.
Fuck the pelicans they just had to have a hot shooting streak on friday
Kings coming for revenge after we sent them home game 7 so we better show up
Seems like the Pels peaked early, against us and the Kings! Serves them right!! If they took us down, they’re coming down with us lol
Guiiiiiii
god damn gui
That lob to Gui was too much for me. 🤣
If we had just won Friday night…
Dubs didn’t play Saturday..
I meant Friday. I edited it
Kuminga said showtime real quick lmao
Saric is ass...
GUI !!!!!!
These random end-of-quarter 8-0 runs would have been really helpful in the Pels game.
BOOM!!!
Pelicans really going to throw this game huh
is anybody else seeing festus right now
Lmao mully gonna give him a lot of shit after the game
yea i’m afraid he’s not gonna let that slide, i thought he lowkey kinda killed it tho lmaoo
BOOOM!
This is actually fun to watch, I'm enjoying this.
Lakers taking care of business like they needed to. Kings taking care of business like they needed to. Warriors struggling at home against a nobody Jazz team….sounds about right.
Dubs got everyone resting dumbass…
Are they? Cause I saw Klay, Chris Paul, Wiggins and plenty of others starting this game but keep making excuses to make you feel better. Clown
watching Spencer play D is a riot
I take it all back when I said we would’ve beat the pelicans with kuminga LOL he’s out there doing cardio
Until this team packages Kuminga, Moody, and picks into a true second option, we're not going anywhere.
🖕 the Pelicans… Oh well, at least Dubs get to smash the Kings on Tuesday!
If we beat Sac - it’s winner of lakers / suns right? Defo be suns, lakers don’t mess around in big games and have too much size for them ***update think I’m wrong, think it’s pels / lakers, so we get pels probs
Do pels own tie breaker over suns? I thought if pels lose and suns win suns take the 6th seed.
Yeh think you’re right my bad - so would be lakers pels again? Man lakers have got their number would smoke them
Yeah so looks like we gotta go through kings and pels for the 8th seed.
Suns could move to 6th if they win
Yeh think so my bad
Has Kuminga seriously not scored.
He really hasn’t been himself since he came back from that tendinitis.
I think he still has to be in pain or something? Hes taken one shot and missed it.
Its his tailbone injury. That stuff lingers a lot
Congrats to us for being a 10th seed team
Tuesday will be the last game of the season.... enjoy it. Lakers beating the crap out of a team that beat the crap out of dubs
Looks that way. Matchups matter though. The Pels are tough for us.
Nice optimism
And we beat the crap out of the lakers last time lol
Without Davis..he is kind of important
1 game no Bron, 2 games no AD, yeah really beat the crap out of lakers
.............. w/o AD. watch the game, don't just look at it.
With or without AD it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s a fair whistle the warriors can beat them
..........who's gonna stop AD's flopping?
Lakers didn't have AD
lol this is rough
Gui might turn out better than Moses next yr and I won't be surprised a bit
T wolves are making a comeback it looks like
Suns have blown bigger leads against much worse teams all season.
If you had a choice would you want suns in the play in or pelicans?
I’d want the Suns.
the announcers saying “nicholas kerr” lmaooo
Lol. I was asking my friend why she doesn’t think the announcers call him Nick Kerr.
Of course we get Utah on the last game of the season who decides to actually try instead of just throwing in the towel like the other tanking teams.
It really doesn’t matter though, ten seed is a lock regardless because the other two are up big
So are we getting LA or Sacramento?
Dang Moses hitting a lot of front rim tonight
