Golden State Warriors Dominate From Start to Finish & Sweep Houston Rockets as Playoff Focus Shifts

Let’s make that six wins in a row let’s make that the Warriors are in the play and now they’re focusing on the teams above them folks this has been a roller coaster of a season for the Golden State Warriors their borderline schizophrenic and right now though they’re on the upswing they’re

Dominating teams on the road this was pure perfection when it comes to what you want from the team you’re rooting for dub Nation the Golden State Warriors are looking damn good right now and with just six games to play this is how you want your team playing going into the

Postseason peace out Rockets the focus is on the Lakers Focus might be on the Kings Focus might be on the Suns and Pelicans we’ll break it all down next the Splash Brothers Ruled The Roost Trace Jackson Davis proving he belongs this is locked on Warriors you are locked on Warriors your daily Golden

Me Cyrus saas your host for the evening on threads at dog wild it’s also where the program is at at locked on Warriors good evening welcome to the show that is the Golden State Warriors thriving final score tonight in a game they L from start to finish 133 110 the Splash Brothers making

Things Splash they look like they’re old selves but in a game that that showcased a combination of veterans reminding the world they still have it and youngsters showing that they’re on the upand coming and they belong the Warriors dominated and the veterans again Splat the Splash Brothers led the way there not to

Mention Draymond Green with a phenomenal game defensively running the offense as as their General but statistically the it’s not going to show that he dominated except for net rating where he was a staggering plus 20 26 and that didn’t even lead the team but the Splash Brothers both players scored 29

Points tonight and besides those veterans though Trace Jackson Davis I mean this team is not where they are without him they’re not and him starting as their Center moving Draymond Green to the power forward position you’re reaping the rewards of Dre not being punished as severely being that small

Big man defending much larger human beings Trace Jackson Davis taking a lot of the stress off draymond’s back no punt intended and he had a career high tonight 20 points in this game added five rebounds the player who leads the team in field goal percentage continued

Doing so going eight of 10 from the field this was a beautiful performance again from old and young alike for 133 110 Victory but before I get to what the individuals did I want to point out something interesting to start things off and I highlighted this a year

Ago as a sign that the Warriors in 2022 2023 were in trouble and that’s their third quarter output the Golden State Warriors every season they’ve won a championship have led the NBA in third quarter differential that became a huge part of their identity for the vast

Majority of this Dynasty come out of the half like Gang Busters and demolish the opposition and we didn’t see that last year and in doing the research after I a year ago saw them come out time and time and again out of the tunnel for the

Second half only to to uh put out a lackluster effort my good friend Larry Krueger thankfully asked Steve Kerr about that a year ago in an interview when he was hosting on the Warriors flagship radio station uh uh 957 the game and Steve Kerr alluded to the team

Aging he you know like usual did not give a specific answer dodged the the question but there is no doubting there is a correlation between the Warriors and how they play in that third quarter versus how things end up to put it in perspective the last title they won

Again every year they won a championship they led the NBA in third quarter differential this season they’re third and they’re at plus 2.6 in the third quarter a year ago they were just plus. five all right so they’re their their their net rating in the third quarter

Has increased by over two points a game that’s significant and a year ago they finished 11th in the NBA in third quarter differential this year they’re third and the only reason why they’re third and not first because that plus 2.6 is almost identical to their number the last time they won a championship

That was that year in 2022 they were a plus 2.7 in third quarter differential this season they’re plus 2.6 they’re just behind the Oklahoma City Thunder who are plus 2.8 and the Minnesota Timberwolves are the NBA’s best second half team or I’m sorry best third quarter team with a third quarter

Differential of plus 3.5 but nonetheless the Golden State Warriors as a third quarter team as as a team that is coming out for that third quarter and putting teams away that has been their identity and the adjustments are being made the focus is there they’re engaged and

Tonight was no exception where they went into the the half and granted there was they were dominating this game they had a comfortable lead going into the half they led by 15 points Bob Fitzgerald on the broadcast alluding repeatedly to the fact that the team has never had 15 turnovers which is

What they had at the half alongside a 15-point lead which is apparently never happened in franchise history but they came out and you knew the Rockets were going to come out in the third quarter and try to reduce the lead and try to come back Houston’s season was on the

Line that was a wounded animal out there that the Warriors in theory should have had some difficulty putting away they didn’t face any difficulties again they LED this game from start to finish they outscored the rockets in the third quarter it wasn’t a dominant third quarter because again Houston was

Playing for their entire season but the fact that the Warriors still outscored them granted by just a point but they still outscored him 34 to 33 that 15-point halftime lead became 16 points they finished this game winning by 23 points and folks this Golden State Warriors team second most victories in

The NBA since I believe January 15th behind just the Boston Celtics and and who knows what’s going to happen right now there is no predictability in terms of what’s going to happen with the Golden State Warriors in the postseason if they lose that playing game colossal disappointment but the way this team is

Playing right now they’re gunning for the LA Lakers they’re just a game back in the Lost column that game on April 9th we’re now just five games away could represent the entire season because if they win that game they win the tiebreaker over the Lakers and if they

Get that game at home even though this team has been unbelievable on the road this season with tonight’s win they’ve won 15 of their last 18 on the road that is staggering and these the road success literally is because of the chemistry of this team these guys like each other

Klay Thompson referred in the postgame interview to the fact that they all understand their roles now they They Know Each one individually knows what they need to do for this team to find success and it’s coming together at the right time folks six games remaining and the goal Golden State Warriors are

Surging the Houston Rockets not officially eliminated but they’re pretty much out of it now because they Trail the Golden State Warriors by four and they also don’t have the tiebreakers so the Warriors really lead in the standings by five games with six to play they could literally clinch uh that 10th

Playing spot if they beat the Mavericks tomorrow and the Houston Rockets lose their next game I think the Rockets play uh tomorrow as well uh Houston in fact just looking this up really quickly they their game tomorrow will be against uh the Miami Heat yes they do play tomorrow

At home so if Miami beats the Rockets and the Warriors be Dallas in Dallas they officially clinch that 10 seed it’s no longer uh you know just an unofficial clinching of the 10 seed but it’s over folks this this thing is done in terms of the 10 seed it would take a minor

Miracle so now the focus is on the Lakers and now the focuses on the Sacramento Kings now the focus is even still it’s they’re within reach the Phenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans I wouldn’t expect that I wouldn’t count on that but it’s not out of the realm of

Possibility uh the Warriors right now again just one game behind the LA Lakers in the loss column the Lakers right now are 44 and 33 the Warriors are now 42 and 34 and again that game next Tuesday is could be for all the marbles in terms

Of home court and that could matter I know the Warriors are are are exponentially better on the road this season they’re now 23 and 15 on the road 19 and 19 at home but I I want that game at home I do not want Stephen Curry who

In his career has struggled playing at crypto uh to have the entire season on the line in that Arena where he routinely struggles let’s get this game in their comfy confines of Chase Center but again the LA I’m sorry the Sacramento Kings are within reach as

Well the Kings just have a two game lead over the Golden State Warriors in terms of the win loss column um now I haven’t done my research in terms of tiebreakers between those two teams if I have a chance to do that today I will um I I

Can’t remember off top of my head if they split their season series uh but the Kings would win the tiebreak for it comes down to division record the kings are 10- six in the division on the year The Warriors currently six and nine so they’re going to catch him there um but

It’s not just the Kings and the one game above the Kings and this is to avoid the play in alt together still possible unlikely yes but still possible the Phoenix Suns right now and the New Orleans Pelicans are tied for the six seed they’re both 45 and 31 that’s only

Three games ahead of the Warriors so look there’s six games to play I know it’s unlikely but it’s not impossible and this Warriors team is engaged they’re focused and who knows what could come up and Greg Gordon you’re absolutely right the Kings have a brutal schedule coming up I mentioned already

That uh they’re going to be playing the the Celtics tomorrow and even though the Celtics don’t have much to play for something tells me there’s a lot of Pride at stake there in terms of them wanting to finish with you know an incredible regular season record where

I’m guessing 65 wins would be a goal for them uh the 66 is still in play for them as well um but the Kings real fast just because their their name has come up and right now they’re within Striking Distance of the Warriors their remaining schedule they have six games left they

Play the Celtics in Boston tomorrow now unfortunately they play at Brooklyn Sunday that should be an easy win for them but then they’re in Oklahoma City that will not be easy then they host the New Orleans Pelicans not easy then they host the Phoenix Suns not easy and then

They finish up the season with the Portland Trailblazers so of those six remaining games Sacramento has two gimmies at Brooklyn and at home against the Trailblazers but four of those six are challenging they could easily lose those four and the way the Royers are rolling who knows what what could happen

One last interesting thing uh regarding records and and all that good stuff um and uh just checking out the chat right now um one other thing to mention by the way the Warriors last season uh were 44 and 38 that was their final uh record and for that record they finished

At a six seed they avoided the play in they they were uh rewarded with the Sacramento Kings on the first round we all know how that turned out Stephen Curry’s historic 50p pointer in game seven to put the the Northern California little brothers away um this year the

Warriors are two Gam below that right now the Warriors now have a record of excuse me of 42 and 34 so they in theory could finish this season 48 and 34 if they win out Mo in all likelihood they’re going to have more wins than they did a year ago when they won

44 but they have no chance in hell I shouldn’t say that but it’s very unlikely that they’re going to reach the six seed again the six seed was pretty much clinched at this point last season that’s how much better the West is the West is so damn good like this Houston

Rockets team is not bad it it it makes it that much more impressive that the Warriors just completely just mop the floor with them but this Rockets team would easily be what a seven seed an eight seed I’m not talking just about record I’m talking about just the body

Of work just how good they are the Rockets will be so much higher they would be a playing team in the Eastern Conference but in this West that’s just deep talented completely unpredictable I know the nuggets are the favorites but who knows who’s coming out of this the

Warriors still have an excellent shot to pull it off they got the talent they got the experience it’s all about whether or not which team shows up and if it’s the focused one if it’s the engaged one Anything could happen this postseason but I want to talk about the individuals

Uh who succeeded in tonight’s game there were quite a few of those uh and so much more when we come back got to give some love Yeah Kev you’re absolutely right uh the West it going back like 30 years in nearly every season the Western Conference has been the far superior um

Uh has been the far superior conference and Adrien thank you so much man you have no idea how much your kind words mean uh hit that subscribe button please um if you don’t mind and yeah Mitchell Warriors Warriors Warriors baby this was a hell of a game man I mean this was

This was important I I can’t emphasize enough when your opposition is facing their entire season and you’re still coming out there and winning the third quarter that’s a hell of a sign and the Splash Brothers Draymond Trace Jackson Davis that’s just the tip of the iceberg

In terms of who showed up tonight Gary Payne the second had a great game I thought Chris Paul played a solid game Wiggins had it let down but defensively he was clutching certain moments we got a lot more to discuss after we give some love to our sponsors for this fine

To give some love to uh a relatively new program on the locked on lineup and that’s locked on Bay Area a program that is focused entirely on Bay Area sports so besides the Warriors if you’re a fan of the Giants fan of the ners I don’t

Know if the Raiders I mean the Oakland A’s that’s what a mess that is I don’t know if the Raiders fall into that or if they’re fully 100% now in Vegas country whatever it is if you love Bay Sports San Jose Shark seem to be mentioned as

Well go checked out lockon Bay Area uh where apparently our show is going to be um cycled on that on that channel soon uh once they reach certain numbers I think it’s going to become a 247 uh Channel and so locked on Warriors I think it’s going to be restreamed there

As well but checked out locked on Bay Area that’s also available uh Stephen Curry in this game tonight was fantastic um Richard Marquez by the way uh asking any forecasting thoughts if the Warriors beat the Mavericks tomorrow absolutely not uh again this game just ended right

Now but you did uh make me uh ask myself and and the question I’m going to ask myself that I want to answer to the audience is what is the line for that game tomorrow um and I also want to look up how the Mavericks uh are are doing in

Terms of the standings because I actually have no idea um what their stake in this whole thing is but right now in terms of the f look I gota I went to the wrong site I’m going to look up the FanDuel sports book real fast because I want to see what that spread

Is so where is my FanDuel sports book and of course during a live program when I wanted and needed the most it’s not opening up for me damn it oh here we go okay so the line for uh for tomorrow’s game I just can’t get it it is not

Opening right now gosh darn it well I’ll look that up later when I can um my guess right now is look the the the Warriors the way they performed the last time they played I know it was just a few games ago was exemplary um and the

Warriors right now they have all the momentum on the planet and um I’m feeling good about it I mean I I know it’s a it’s a back toback but uh Jonathan kaminga who’s missed um five straight games now which is fascinating in a lot of regards um in

The sense that the Warriors are winning all these games while he while he’s out uh I would not read into that I know there’s a couple trolls out there who who the moment the Warriors do anything reasonably good that doesn’t include Jonathan kaminga they immediately want

To uh you know talk about trading them I mean look first of all apparently I can’t open the page right now because I’m in California so that’s what’s going on um apparently uh look first of all you can’t trade anyone right now okay you can’t trade anyone until the off

Season so it’s it’s a mood point to begin with but secondly who are you gonna trade Jonathan Kingo for okay I’m addressing the trolls right now all right let’s say you want to trade Jonathan kaminga who would you trade him for that is worth it if you TR like it’s

It’s awesome that the Warriors have won five in a row without him okay it’s phenomenal but it’s important to note that none of the teams they’ve beaten are upper echelon Elite squads when you look at the biggest wins this season they’ve almost all involved kaminga he’s

A top three player on this team in terms of net rating which means the team wins when he plays he’s one of the only individuals who brings size to the table a huge reason they’ve been playing so well without him recently has been because Trace Jackson Davis has seen a

Larger role he started his his his uh starts have coincided with kinga’s injury that’s been the adjustment for Steve Kerr and so I’m also very curious to know what happens with Trace Jackson Davis because he is absolutely showing his worth and his value and I don’t know if they’re winning these games without

Him either um but cool it on the kaminga hay man I I do not understand why there’s a small section of you that hate that kid uh when all he’s doing is great things for this team and and for those I say they’ve never won without him he was

On the roster just side note when they won the championship he was literally on the team along with Moses Moody he was starting games in that postseason so I I just don’t understand the hate for kaminga but nonetheless if you’re gonna trade him you’re giving up your entire

Future and it depends largely on who you get back I would not entertain that thought at all kaminga is the future he’s a he’s a bright kid he’s an incredibly talented individual um so don’t don’t ever come to me if you want to entertain that conversation so um

We’re not we’re not going in there uh anyways we’re going to talk about the standings in just a moment the Dallas Mavericks by the way uh I could not open the sports book tonight which is unfortunate but again we’re in California I literally just dealt with restrictions that’s why I couldn’t open

The sports book which was kind of unfortunate but in terms of the standings the Mavericks are fifth and the Mavericks right now have a game lead on the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans so the Mavericks have a lot to play for here they’re also just a game

And a half behind the LA Clippers for the four seed two back in the Lost column so they’re going to be out playing they’re going to be actually trying like they have they have a lot of stake here as well besides the Warriors but look if this Warriors team is

Rolling right now I I would not doubt for of it I would not put it beside anyone I would not put it beside the Warriors um to doubt them like if that makes sense maybe I’m not making sense the point is I do think the Warriors are going to win uh

Tomorrow and um I’m really excited for that game that’s going to be a big game because the Warriors are now gunning for the Lakers um they’re now gunning for the Sacramento Kings who are collapsing right before our eyes um yeah should be a big game um and

We’ll be back at this live tomorrow uh we’ll have a lot more to discuss to wrap it up I have not even read off Steph and Clay’s stats for this evening just because um they had phenomenal nights clay especially after the first quarter

Uh he had a bit of a Dr jekal Mr Hyde opening quarter to this game he had three turnovers uh in that first quarter but I believe he also had 11 points and thankfully the Dr Jackal side won out the rest of the game clay was fantastic

Um we’ll talk about his stats I got to give Trace Jackson Davis his due because this team is not doing all this if he’s not playing real minutes it is not a coincidence that Trace Jackson Davis has increased his role and this Warriors team is rolling at the same time uh so

We’ll talk about that and so much more as we wrap this up but again the Warriors a huge win over the Houston Rockets to all but clinch the 10 seed and they’re rolling going into the postseason who knows what’s going to happen I I promise you this no other

Team in the Western Conference wants to play The Warriors in the first round none of them not even the Nuggets nobody wants to see this Warriors team a squad that is still full of players with four championship belts around their waist who the hell wants to see that and

That’s who’s steamrolling right into the postseason it’s definitely something to be excited for if you’re a member of dub nation and we’ll talk about that and so much more after we give love to one final sponsor for this evening and that sponsor is Robin Hood talk about taking care of your finances did

Of the locked on podcast Network your team every day thank you for making locked on Warriors your first listen everyday for the every dayers we were right back at this tomorrow it’s Warriors at the Mavericks huge game uh simply because the Warriors right now Trail the Lakers

By just one in the Lost column they Trail the Kings by just three in the Lost column so there’s still a lot to play out here so that game is huge and we’ll be back right at it uh with Friday Night Live postgame coverage I might

Have a guest joining me all that to be determined and if you follow me on threads of dog wild I post updates regularly on the show and regarding the show uh so make sure you follow me there um Stephen Curry got to give some love

To him real fast because uh Steph had a fantastic game I don’t know if you saw if you folks saw this Steph um again this has been the most emotional year for Steph and what I mean by that is I don’t know if I can’t read his mind so I

Don’t know if it’s like literally the most emotional for him but he’s certainly been expressing himself emotionally more than we’ve ever seen him dude’s kicking chairs dude is is literally uh communicating without words to Draymond Green regarding his last ejection side note by the way how good

Has Draymond Green been since that last ejection we’re not seeing him talk to refs we’re seeing him focused um this is this is quite possibly the best version of Draymond we’ve seen all year and it came right after that ejection four minutes in uh where Stephen Curry was

Not pleased at all so the great news in that front is Draymond Green is playing some damn good basketball and we are not seeing him jawing with the refs lately which is huge you’re noticing a massive difference in his game and in how the team is playing as a result of that

You’re not getting those ridiculous whistles and the bias from the refs seem to have diminished a little bit but Stephen Curry was getting some more of that non-s Superstar treatment in the first half of this game uh there were a few calls that were just utter BS I

Don’t know how to spin it any other way and it’s not even spin I mean I I don’t I don’t know how you could say this without objectivity that he’s just being screwed over left and right there was an a i it was the second quarter of this

Game there was an illegal screen called on Steph with and the play was entirely in incidental he’s literally just running on the court he bumped into another player I can’t remember if it was uh Fred Van b or who it was but the refs called him for an illegal screen he

Wasn’t even setting up his screen he was just running as part of his said play and they called an illegal screen on him that was colossally disappointing soon after that we had a play where Draymond Green got this incredible offensive rebound it was not easy he passed it to Steph Steph drove

In and nailed the floater that was not an easy shot either which should have been a plus one he should have gone to the free throw line I think that play is when Steph really started to get irritated towards the referees because they didn’t blow the whistle on that

Play then there was another play and this is the one where we where I think you started to see agitation on Steph’s face he made yet another one of those insane rainbow 3es right I don’t think any other I’ve never seen any other player in the NBA execute these rainbows

These high arching shots with the ball’s like looks like it’s at least 50 feet in the air um and they just go in not even touching Rim so Steph makes another one of these rainbow threes he gets blatantly hit it should have been a four-point play and there was no call

And so Steph is pissed at this point fast forward and Fred Van vet is called for a foul on Steph attempting a three-pointer right so Steph is going to the line for three free throws Steph was celebrating on the court I honestly thought he was going to get a technical

Foul there because that celebration was very in the face of the refs basically telling them thank you for finally making a good call for once um van vet in very irritating fashion challenged the call uh claiming that Steph uh should have been called for an offensive foul there was no indication of that

Whatsoever the Rockets went ahead and challenged it they lost the challenge as they rightfully should have the point is and Steph got a few calls after this but the point is there has never been a player who’s gotten worst Superstar treatment than a man like Stephen Curry

Who if anyone deserves it if anyone should be getting that treatment it’s the individual Nam Stephen Curry who seems to be grabbed every damn play um and thankfully in this game though the second half the refs started to blow the whistle he finished the game with nine

Free throw attempts but again that was mostly in the in the second half Steph in the first half of this game when they weren’t calling anything even though he was getting hammered left and right uh had zero free throw attempts so all those free throw attempts came in the

Second half when he had nine of them finished the game with 29 Points but this was a very efficient night for Steph he scored those 29 on nine of 14 shooting he only only made two three-pointers in this game only attempted six he was attacking the rim

He was bing up and sacrificing his body to get this win which the team knew they needed to put the Rockets away there was also some animus between the two teams Klay Thompson alluded to that clay had a had a f fantastic game after a a weird

Opening quarter he scored 11 points had three turnovers just in the opening quarter great news for Clay did not turn the ball over again the rest of the game finished seven of 11 from Beyond The Arc was 11 of 15 from the field otherwise did not miss a shot from inside the

Three-point line finished this game with 29 Points Steph by the way wanted to wanted to add just going back to his numbers had six rebounds six assists and led the team with a plus 29 in net rating uh so he was dominating Klay Thompson also had 29 Points in this game

Also had four assists in this game had a plus 20 in net rating one of those assist was to trace Jackson Davis uh a fantastic alley uh which which further uh showed evidence of those two and their Synergy and their and their chemistry their connection uh Trace Jackson Davis this

Kid could someday be an elite big in the NBA considering what he’s doing in his rookie season the only thing that’s regretful when watching a play is what is just how this should have been happening sooner um it’s it’s a shame that Kerr waited this long but look

Better late than ever uh and in this game when they needed his size he came through played just shy of 28 minutes again was eight of 10 from the field added five rebounds in this game even at four assists to finish with 20 points uh but Trace Jackson Davis has been a

Massively huge piece of all this I don’t think it’s a coincidence that him starting is has correlated with this five game winning streak he gives he gives so much relief to the rest of the players who finally have a shop blocker out there defensively so there’s so much less pressure on the

Other four guys on the court and offensively you’re seeing the lobs uh you’re you’re seeing Trace also showing that he’s a good passer a lot of give and goes with him for example so it’s huge super stoked for Trace Jackson Davis super stoked uh for the Golden State Warriors and um Taurus East

Right real fast we wrap the show up here am I doing another joint podcast with the locked on Rockets no we did our we did our crossover just because the Rockets were briefly in it for a moment the Rockets uh are no longer uh in in play so we’re done there

And we’re done with the show we’ll be back at this in less than 24 hours folks it’s Warriors and Mavericks this Wild Ride continues but the Warriors at a bare minimum are in the playin and that was in doubt for a brief moment so that’s huge congrats to the Warriors

Thank you everyone love you all bye-bye

  1. We now have a inside outside game with TJD, Klay and Curry that the defense will have to make a decision on 💪🏾

  2. Now that the WARRIORS are where they are, don't you wish they WON those 3 to 4 games that they shouldn't have LOST??!! But NO Thanks to KERR's stubborn & ineffective rotations, coupled with delinquent use of the young players, Dub Nation is where they are — chasing the DREAM, from the back of the pack!! smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

  3. TJD at 57 in draft shows the scouts are nuts! He is built like a tank! Can jump with the best of bigs and is one of most talented in league! TJD is top ten player! He blocks two lottery picks like there chumps! He is a baller! Klay looks scary right now! Wiggs plays good too we are tough!

  4. If TJD play like this, warriors are then definitely in the contention. Somehow I feel he will be ready only next season.

  5. I’m convinced that someone in the front office recently INSISTED that Kerr give Moody more minutes/no more DNPs, start Klay/bench Podz, give GPII & TJD more minutes… or else!

  6. Kuminga, Moody, TJD, all abandoned once, but now proving that they are the next faces of the Warriors!!!

  7. I'd like to see Moody drive more . He's holding back a little, maybe worried about getting benched if he makes a mistake. He'll be even more dangerous when he starts taking it to the rim more and drawing fouls along the way.

  8. Nice to see the Warriors blow out the Rockets, but the game against the Mavs was more fun in a suspenseful way!

  9. Questions what do they do when JK come back? TJD makes our backline defense better, which makes it easier on Steph and Klay if they get blown past.. Dray and Trey got em. I'm not against starting JK again yet, just that I see benefits with TJD. Plus JK on 2nd unit helps with scoring.

  10. Well done! TJD is really lucky star pair with Clay!! All well play young guys! Keep it up ! Steph must be happy with all great players with good energy! 🎉

  11. Houston must have threatened golden state with something for them not to draft Cam Whitmore 😅

  12. I think apart from Wiggins as a player the issue this team is going to fail to reach the full potential is Kerr.

    He played 3 guard line-up today and also Looney ahead of Moody. Kerr & his assistants will eliminate us.

  13. Hopefully TJD stays in the starting lineup! Kuminga is good but his scoring is more needed for the 2nd unit!

  14. I think they’ll be fine when jk comes back. He can just come off the bench because the bench can use his scoring and he can open the floor for cp3 to get going.

  15. We just beat msvs yall know how nba work we not gomna beat them again nba gone make sure of that

  16. Refs in the NBA most stupid of all refs around the world. They are betting on GSW opponents and paid by mafia. NBA officials are paid as well

  17. Am still not convinced with the win streak. If Kerr had his head working straight in the early season we'd be in 5th or 6th place with very well developed young players and a chance to rest and reconfigure. Now Dubs have to go through these play-in games. Better late than never tho. Jesuschrist, Steve, what took you so long?
