    This game proves just how bad the NBA fouls have gotten. You can’t even defend a player anymore or they just jump into you and get free throws.

  2. Casualrodfarva2

    Over the past two Warriors games I have watched 153 free throws AMA

    Edit: Oh fuck I forgot we played the spurs last. I was thinking of the suns game, my bad y’all I’m a liar.

    So anyway, between the Warriors/Suns game and Warriors/Kings game there were 153 shot free throws, for clarification

  3. A great day to be a draymond hater. My guy embarrassed himself with a flop, got t’ed up, and cost the team with a late turnover to complete a 20 point collapse

  4. goddamn did the Warriors choke. poor Moody was playing so well and he got benched

  5. iWonder007

    Omfg Kings Warriors is the best matchup in the NBA

    EVERY game is a banger

  6. MySilverBurrito

    I love the positive reaction to the IST. These games have been absolute bonkers lmao

  7. Working_Friend_6946

    I need another 7 game series immediately. What a game

  8. DropItShock

    Fox thanking his lucky stars that those FT’s didn’t sink this game for them.

  9. DefiniteSauce12

    Crazy Kerr took Moody out, but Thompson might have cried

  10. AlHorfordHighlights

    Ref fan here, that was game of the season

  11. They need to shorten the NBA season to just the Kings/Warriors games. They also need to add like 60 more Kings/Warriors games to the schedule.

  12. thezander8

    Yikes gotta run to Salt and Straw before the Beam Crowd hits

  13. at_least_u_tried

    Steve Kerr blowing the TO on the stupidest challenge of all time😂

  14. ColdPressedSteak

    Really fun 4th quarter down the stretch. Besides refs over calling some shit. Definitely several plays where it should’ve just been play on

  15. darthJOYBOY

    Moody scores 11 pts on 4/4 FG, and Kerr benches him, baffling.

  16. BlackPulloverHoodie

    So this is what it’s like when the refs give you whistles. Feels nice, but dirty.

  17. Timberbulls

    Steve Kerr benching a hot Moses Moody was coaching malpractice

  18. Vermillion_Crab

    There you go NBA. You made me watch a Warriors game. I guess the In-Season Tournament is a success.

    Ok, I’m half lying, I just wanted to watch a Warriors-Kings matchup. Every game is like watching a playoff game months earlier. lol

  19. bytheinnoutburger

    Credit to the kings for not quitting, but that was an epic choke job by the dubs. Bigger choke than the one Draymond got French Rudy with a couple weeks back.

  20. Relative to how good he is at shooting Fox put up the worst performance at the free throw line I’ve seen in a while.

    Also the third quarter sucked and took forever lol.

    IDK who the fuck Sasha Vezenkov is but he can ball.

  21. Itezguatitez

    Moody hits two straight threes and locks up Fox to keep the dubs ahead late in tje fourth. In the same stretch, Klay clanks a transition three missing Moody wide open for the layup and is extremely late to rotate defensively (Steph has to literally yell at him). Luckily for him, as a I said, Moody locks up Fox and Klay ends with the rebound. Kerr sits Moody, Klay stays.

    That must feel like a dagger to Moses heart. Nobody is holding Klay accountable. Steph should be closing the games no matter what. Nobody else should have that privilege.

  22. SerAardvark

    I didn’t necessarily think the Kings *would* come back but I will definitely say I am not surprised they did. The little run at the end of the first half to cut it from 24 to 17 was actually really big and as the Warriors scuffled their way through the third it definitely felt more and more likely they’d choke the game.

    And boy did they. They’ve never been able to stop fucking themselves over with ball security and the team just isn’t good enough to overcome it any more. It’s always been treated as something inherent in how they play but it’s also just bad/sloppy basketball that they’ve rarely been punished for. We talk about teams like the Wizards being unserious but in a lot of ways the 23-24 Warriors are too.

    Anyway, nice to see Wiggins play well again. Kings fully deserved to win with how they played in the last minute of the first half and the entirety of the second half. Warriors need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and figure out what they’re trying to accomplish this year.

  23. Bob Myers was right to leave the Warriors franchise when he did, it’s joever. If Curry wins another chip carrying this group he’s the GOAT of every sport ever and forever, I don’t care what anyone says.
