You’re right. I sit corrected.

 

[Hoopguru]

Embid should be suspended for another game for his antics after the fight, imo.

 

[Haakzilla]

Warriors are going to tank so hard for #1 draft pick -- contenders again next year when Klay returns

Is there another generational superstar like Duncan in the draft? Might was well copy the Spurs plan.

 

[PDXFonz]

Great news for us, 76ers definitely gonna be light handed against us!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Draymond might kill Bob Myers for this roster construction at halftime.

GS is moving to 1-3 tonight.

Serious Question:
Will they make the playoffs at all?

 

[tlongII]

Jazz crushing Clips without Kawhi

 

[illmatic99]

Steph just took a massive fall on his wrist and Baynes fell on him. Looked like a break at first. Looks OK somewhat

 

[illmatic99]

didnt shoot FTs. left the game. UGH

 

[DDolla]

Warriors number 9th seed

 

[B-Roy]

hope you waited to buy tix.

Was gonna wait until the day of. Honestly if you're buying single game tickets I don't know why you wouldn't wait until the last minute. Even for playoff games last year in Portland the tickets a few hours before tip off were much cheaper than when I bought them a few days earlier.

I bought game 5 tickets for the okc series before game 4 ended and got it for $110.

After we won game 4 they shot up to $300.

Check them the day of, an hour or two before tip off. The asking price for the ones that aren't selling go waaaaay down. I can't speak for the OKC series but I went to 3 and 4 against Denver in the second round and game 4 tickets were cheaper even after the 4OT win in game 3.

I'm sure this works better for regular season games though.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Warriors really should just take the year off. If this curry injury is bad just sit him for weeks and tank fuck it. They got Dlo for a trade chip, a possible lottery pick, I would just try again next year

 

[illmatic99]

Tank for LaMelo

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t wanna play Utah this year.

 

[LayneStaley]

As a massive Warriors Hater I couldn’t be happier that they will suck this year and Curry will be another year older next season.

and yes I’d take Dray in a second.

Nurk/Collins
Dray/Skal
Hood/Mario(upgrade somehow)
CJ/Baze
Dame/Ant

BOOM!

karmic energy aint good with rooting for injuries.

I didn’t say anything about injuries, they were gonna suck with or without Curry this year.

I get what you mean but this is actually great news for Golden State. They won’t waste anymore time to start the tanking process. On top of that a broken off shooting hand is the perfect injury to happen for this type of plan. I mean that meaning it’s nothing career altering or anything..

 

[B-Roy]

Yeah, this is pretty amazing news for the Warriors season. (Obviously it's awful for Steph) Reminiscent of the Spurs/Duncan one year tank....

They can tank all they want, there are at least 5 teams that will finish with worst records and to be honest who are they tanking for? This draft isn’t top heavy, there are no generational talents or anything like that coming out imo, I actually don’t like it at all.

Well it also gives them an excuse to tank. Even if they don't get a top pick that lotto pick still has value. Rest Steph, rest Klay, rest Dray. Get a top 10 pick. Trade the pick and D'Angelo for some good depth in the off season and come back next year as title contenders.

Exactly. They weren’t gonna do shit anyways this year. Now they’ll have a great pick and Dlo as a trading piece. Fucking bastards I was hoping they’d be like the 9-10th seed right around that no mans land area

 

[DDolla]

This Warriors team just proves you that Curry can’t carry a team without 3 all-star teammates to help him. Dame been carrying the Blazers every year to the playoffs without any All-Star teammate with him. MJ is correct that Steph is not a HOFer just yet.

Maybe, I just don’t see it. I mean if a Duncan type player was coming out I’d be pissed. A top 10 pick and D’Angelo? Maybe i guess, not really sure what that gets you. Klay with a year out of Basketball and a 33 year old Curry doesn’t really scare me like it does with a KD standing next to them. I think it would be smart to deal Dray at this point.

But he did it with two?

 

[LayneStaley]

The Warriors Dynasty does not compare to the Bulls Dynasty IMO. MJ didn’t lose Finals, and he went to more of them.

dude a top 10 pick and a young locked up borderline star in Dlo? You can get decent players (not necessarily stars) to all the sudden loading up your bench and depth just like that..

This is actually fantastic news for the warriors. Say curry was healthy all year they probably would have been in the 7-9th seed range which I call no man’s land. Also now Draymond all the sudden probably doesn’t blow up behind the scenes because everybody is on the same page that this year is a wash. But if curry was still playing all year and they continued to struggle whose to say Green doesn’t cause friction and shit..
