The Golden State Warriors Have Done It Again



The Golden State Warriors Have Done It Again

What that now doing after bleeding a 15-point lead away to the LA Clippers pass his man floater is good how paake pulls the trigger on a three oh my goodness he is radioactive on the flyby Powell oh he does it again The Showdown that saw Brandon psky Jonathan

Kaminga and Draymond Green get heated again Bullseye 11 108 a 17-2 run the Warriors came back for Redemption against the Utah Jazz but no Redemption is ever complete without your local neighborhood flamethrower Klay Thompson dropp it in three playay three oh man they looking for clay fly by another

Three who’s hot Klay Thompson’s hot 32 hey what’s happening everyone this is Swiss culture two nights ago the Golden State Warriors were well on their way to taking out the LA Clippers with kawi Leonard on a lunch break the Warriors should Feast on what otherwise would

Have been the best team in the Western Conference but things went for an unfortunate turn despite the ejection of head coach tyo who was livid after the game and the fouling out of Paul George the warriors were unable to keep up with the brilliant torch of Norm Powell with frustrations from Klay Thompson’s

Ill-advised fou near the end of the fourth sending Steve ker to feudal Japan something new was on the horizon Clay Thompson what’s headed to the bench you’re about to witness the Vengeance of Klay Thompson but before that don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to switch culture for the most

Analytical and entertaining NBA content on the planet now get ready you’re about to Get you would have to go back to the year 2012 when he was in his rookie year to find the last time that Clay Thompson came off the bench since then he’d been averaging between 30 and 35 5 minutes a game for his career he was sixth in

Rookie of the Year voting after 12 and 1 12 points in 24 minutes of the bench while getting into the starting lineup 29 times which when you consider they only played 66 games that season he started in almost half of them now you’re probably wondering what happened between the Clippers game and the

Follow-up Jazz game regarding Klay Thompson being put on the bench because it’s obviously a pretty big deal we all know what been happening on the court but how did Steve ker manage to convince clay to come off the bench well here’s what happened found out this

Morning me and Steve had a good talk about it you know you can do two things you can pout or you can go out there and respond and I thought I did the ladder very well tonight especially no turnovers and missed a few box out though but more importantly uh I

Realized I’m going to play a ton of minutes so you just got to let the ego go when you think of coming off the bench and all that so I mean I thought about Mono joli that guy has four rings and gold medal and he came off the bench

His whole career and I don’t think anyone looks down on his Hall of Fame candidacy he’s uh one of the greats and I thought I I mean I embraced it that before tip I mean I deserved it really I didn’t didn’t respond to the not playing

At the end of the game well last night I kind of took it out on the assistant coaches and I apologize to those guys before the game and I think that really let my guard down let me just be myself out there benching clay has been the

Biggest move the Warriors have made this entire season and it seemed to have paid off big time the plan going forward for the Warriors is to keep him on the bench and see how it impacts the team over a longer period so what do we have to look

Forward to with Clay coming off the bench absolutely nothing different why not clearly Steve cerr is sending a message and didn’t you just see what clay put up against the Jazz yes but at the end of the day this is still Steve cerr Klay Thompson clearly said he will

Still be getting a ton of minutes coming off the bench okay fair point but the starting lineup is usually a good indicator of who Steve Kerr trusts those are usually the guys he goes with to close the games right yes but no ker still does not trust the young guys and

They only get minutes over the Vets if they are playing Elite even then they still get benched one mistake and they’re out of the rotation until Steve ker has to go back to feudal Japan okay well this is still progress to some degree and I’ll take what I can get

Clay’s first game Off the Bench went well not how you’d expect the Warriors went with their highest plus minus group to start Curry pods Wiggins kaminga and Draymond at first the game started fairly even both teams were making shots and you would think you were walking into just your nightly average NBA game

Only there was nothing average about what was about to happen next the Jazz seemingly remembering what the Warriors did to them in the last game all of a sudden hit the warriors with their own move a barrage of buckets to put them up by 11 with Wiggins doing all he could to

Keep the Warriors from going under by 20 points early in the first quarter backto back threes to help the dubs Dodge glancing blows from the Jazz with some help from John Collins rookie Keon George had begun his Onslaught a deadly foreshadowing of what he had planned for his revenge night against the Warriors

One bad pass from Wiggins in his first quarter career was over as Steve Curry yanked him out with a little over 4 minutes remaining the Jazz were about to get the shock of a lifetime despite Furious and Relentless shooting by George the Warriors responded with their own foreshadowing meet Klay Thompson watch

Outson the Jazz however wouldn’t relinquish their lead and managed to Hold On by just three to end the quarter this was a War it was but only a few seconds into the second quarter but the Warriors rookies tjd and pods took turns in hammering away at the Jazz defense pods opened up the floor in a pass from tjd who then took advantage of his size inside the Young Warriors looked

Dangerous in the open court forcing the Jaz to tap out with a clear path file handing tjd two free throws the Warriors would desperately need later on and giving the Warriors the lead pods continued his assault on Utah bringing the Warriors up by four until his mentor

Came in to take the Reigns the squad vets came in and began to further pulverize Utah Draymond found his inner Steph Curry and with a bit of help from clay they beat the Jazz into Oblivion three after three after three it was a night nightmare for jazzz fans who were

Watching Keon George put up his best performance only to see his phenomenal shooting night appear fruitless in the face of the Golden State Warriors George fires up and lasers in a 22-footer from downtown to stop the bleeding leaving the Warriors rookie with no other option

And at the last second with dble zero on the clock Brandon psky bombs the Jazz with a three ball that would eat out the hearts of the jazz players by the end of last night’s game the Jazz finished the first half with 71 points the Warriors finished the first half with 84 points

After putting up 48 in a second quarter Outburst everything in the second half was really bad now I don’t exactly agree with pods here I think Klay was correct when he said jeez dramatic rookie it absolutely went down in the third quarter Jonathan kaminga began the quarter by trying to come alive

Offensively his last two games have been less scoring Centric and more revolved around facilitating as well as defensive assignments he still had a little trouble staying ahead of his mans a 3/4 CT lob from Steph Curry however led to kaminga ripping one through the rim on a double pump slam while Curry wasn’t

Scoring he did rack up a number of assists throughout and this one shows that despite what you read about Curry he’s still a point guard who scans the floor and can find his teammates open with Elite passing but it was clear the warrior were going to need to do

Something different to pull ahead of the Jazz who were still intent on making this matchup too close for comfort it was then it happened Klay Thompson went berserk Klay began hitting shot after shot after shot grabbed while cutting to the basket doesn’t matter he still puts

It up with the off hand is fouled lays it in driving in the traffic the bank is open 8:00 p.m. on a Thursday night off the dribble Steph Curry wasn’t doing it so somebody has to do the Dirty Work This was rare form and Klay Thompson in

Just 18 minutes channeled Steph Curry to put up 35 points by the end of the third quarter the Jazz had scored 101 points but were nowhere in the vicinity as the Warriors had ran the score up to 120 it seemed the warriors were home free but caution says that this team had

Been blowing leads all season could the Warriors really give up a 19-point lead the size difference between the two teams was never more obvious than in the fourth quarter the same problem the Warriors faced in the loss against the Clippers showed up again as Kurt tried

To close out against the Jazz this is despite running a tjd and charish lineup which was the tallest lineup they could run but the problem remained that with charish in the front Court the Warriors would struggle defensively with the Jazz outrebounding the Warriors 48 to 41 and 17 to13 in offensive boards the

Difference really showed here more than at any other point in the game the Jazz had nine offensive rebounds to the Warriors Three in just the fourth quarter the Jazz Advanced on the Warriors and cut the lead down to 10 Steve ker finally calls a timeout there was still almost 10 minutes remaining

And with such a small lead and momentum in the opponent’s favor the signs were troubling Steve C made a shocking four-person substitution leaving pods as the only play left on the floor Wiggins shich tjd and konz were all taken out the new lineup of Dre gp2 Steph who’s

Been cold and Clay who’s likely now cold after being sat to start the fourth quarter proceeded to stabilize the defense but the offense still struggled and only managed to marginally stay ahead of the Jazz as they got down the stretch with only a few minutes remaining the Jazz made one last Surge

And cut the lead down from 10 points to a single possession and 2 minutes remaining it seemed all but inevitable that the Warriors would yet again blow another 20-point lead and then it happened after a John Collins dunk that brought the Jazz to within a single point the Jazz

Were able to get possession down one point and a half minute left to go with the game in the palm of their hands the Jazz choked after marinan fired up and missed the triple John Collins grabbed the rebound only to in in explicably throw it into the

Crowd this was one of the most anticlimactic endings for the Jazz team lucky for Collins the trade deadline already passed but I’m sure the front office is happy with the tank job the Warriors win it 140 to 137 despite an off night from Steph Curry the bright spot tonight however is

That a second unit bench clay could be what the team needs this season to make a dream run in the 2024 playoffs turn on the flamethrower post your thoughts on last night’s game in the comments below but before that don’t forget to like the video subscribe to the channel and turn

  1. I will see this many times I'm not impressed with what's going on with Golden State. These blowout third quarters and then the other team coming close because they can't close out his damn near criminal. When Coach Atkinson was playing against the jazz. He did a phenomenal job but when Kerr came in it was the same story over again… That caused me to go to the deep end of anger. I'm tired of him

  2. Gsw has no potential in play in, with their poor coaching, poor in clutch time gsw will be eliminated. LA vs twolves or okc and La will be the champion.

  3. Why he went away from front line of:
    Dray, Kuminga, and Wiggins in late mins against Jazz…smfh
    It’s worked bro…why go away at crunch time?
    Wtaf….inexplicable!
    Nonetheless, this squad can’t compete against Nuggs…or LakeShow

  4. Good comments again for klay had he explode vs jazz haters of klay would curse him again and everyone would shout trade him. Pity for klay very inconsistent and struggling.

  5. OK, swishi need your opinion on post I'm seeing of steph approaching Klay to bump fists or whatever it is they do and Klay walked around him, are we see trouble in paradise

  6. Honestly wasn’t a great win. We got lucky on a lot of shots. Bad decisions and blown defensive coverages led to it being a close game.

  7. Suck it up Klay and embrace the role, Iggy turned into the MVP after accepting his role!
    You Can too, Prove that you are a warrior's legend!!!

  8. I would like to see TJD, DRAE, JK, PODZ, The CHEF starting lineup… so the second unit would have KLAY AND WIGGS… I think other teams wouldn’t be able to take a break

  9. The reason they keep blowing leads is because they play beautiful team basketball for 3 quarters, and then it somehow devolves into hunting 3 point shots for Steph and Klay in the 4th. Maybe it works sometimes but if it doesn't then it just takes your team's offense out of rhythm. Any competent coach would've done something to fix this bad habit already but you can't really tell with Steve Kerr.
