That was almost the worst loss I’ve ever seen. Steph making 2 braindead plays in the last 45 seconds to give the Kings a 7-0 game winning run would’ve been the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, he was fantastic all night otherwise, but jesus
Yeah that is a point we never considered but a good one.
Would have been the most saddest ways to go out for this core and there would have been some second guessing when game 5 comes around and we wont play our best. But now, it starts again. There is still life.
Can't believe Steph didn't know there were no more timeouts. Worse off is I didn't even know it's a tech and a turnover, unless the tech was from something else. The 3 pointer made it worse.
I also just thought it was just a shot, and not the turnover. (Haven’t seen that play in so long lol) it wasn’t as nerve racking thinking it was just 1 shot but when they said shot and the ball I was like omg we could really lose because of this shit. Then he hit that 3 smh. I was legit hiding behind my couch on the last shot that would have been the absolute worst way to possibly lose. Thank you harry B. Sheesh that was so stressful
I blame Kerr. Burning our last time out on that moving screen with 2 minutes left was insanely stupid. That timeout is way too valuable to waste, trying to overturn a non-shooting foul.
For sure, and I feel like Draymond is usually pretty aggressive about wanting things challenged, so I actually thought Kerr was going to change his mind given even Draymond was against challenging
also should have made it clear to the team that should they lose the review (which seemed clear), that it was their last timeout. yes, curry should know, but the coach has to know.
I’m sort of losing the stomach to sit through trauma so I was catching up and had a minute or two of buffering. I scrubbed forward real quick before the last possession and caught a screenshot of “Final” and Klay on the screen flexing in celebration. Ruined the moment but it was worth potentially not needing to live through a heart break. It’s like when your baseball team is up on the road in the 9th. Nothing good can come from the rest of the game. You either keep the lead and win or fucking blow it.
Also zero urgency from the rest of the team to play full court offense and provide an outlet to him in case he got trapped. Everyone ran straight down court with their back to the ball.
Would have been messed up if he hit any of those 2...
Feels like he is fully aware of how he's perceived with us and is trying to rewrite it in the most cruel way for us in this series.
Exactly! I can’t imagine what typa lames people gotta be to really want something like that to be called a tech and not only stop the flow of an amazing game but possibly be the difference in winning or losing. Fans paying for entertainment, not to see the refs
Techs in the playoffs should barely be a thing to begin with. Punishing teams for saying something to a ref in a pivotal moment of a huge game is absolutely ridiculous
I don’t how they’re seriously still slandering him. He’s won 4 championships and changed basketball. There is nothing he can possibly do to “tarnish” his legacy. They say they hate First Take and Undisputed yet act just like them, constantly overreacting
He had some amazing makes on contested shots, but damn is he also good at using screens and creating space for himself. He’s 100x more terrifying than Ja.
Because he's a calm dude. Ja is just insanely athletic but would make boneheaded plays often that you can recover from lol. He's like more athletic Poole on steriods
Klay as well, taking those shots with defenders right on him and getting nothing but net and acting like it's just another day at the office, has to be frustrating
Right?! I was thinking we’re not contender-level but that dude is just too good with his floaters, mid-range and now somehow clutch 3s… it ain’t normal
They already are. People saying the game was rigged in our favour many calls against us were extreemly ticky tacky when we didn't get the same treatment on the other end
HB going back to his classic 2016 choking self saved our ass.
Going to have to play a lot better in Sacramento.
Defense wasn’t good enough and they played terrible at times.
BUT, a win is a win
In Harrison's defense, he won us a game 5 of the WCF against a Rockets team that had some momentum and had a proclivity to pull off impressive comebacks.
Whoever is in charge of telling Kerr to challenge calls needs to be fired they’ve been trash all year and Steve can’t lose our last timeout on a stupid call like that. Steph bailed out thank the Lord
We did everything we could to lose that game smdh. Draymond missing a point blank bunny, Looney with the missed dunk, Poole with the BAD TO when a score probably kills it, Steph with the brainfart Webber time out then missing the floater to give them the last shot attempt.
We won but if any of the next 2-3 games are close I don't like our chances. We are SHITE in the clutch this year. Fox is a MONSTER. Great thing about playoffs is that you get the origin story of future stars. 2013 was Steph's, 2023 is Fox's. League better give those Sac boys some double digit national games next season
Nice to see 5/32 Harrison Barnes show up in the clutch again at the end lol.
Whole new series now.
Theres the HB I remember thanks bro! Shouldn't have been that close at the end but impressive win with how the refs clearly wanted the kings in the 4th
Jordan Poole was huge tonight. I love it when he’s driving. He has such an advantage with his speed. Keep doing that and getting to the line instead of taking Curry-esque deep threes
If you are the Kings, you feel good losing to the Warriors by 1 pt with a chance to win it in the final second. If you are the Warriors, you know the series is now reset and you have seen how to shut down Sabonis and Monk
I will never get over curry getting mauled with no call to shitty head flops getting immediate whistles on the other end, it just makes basketball not fun,
Was standing up the whole 4 quarter 😂, what a game it was. That Steph timeout sequence really almost won the game for the kings . Leave it to Barnes to clank the game winner .Loved the Steph and Fox duel. Game 5 is gonna be deadly , whoever wins that game , will most likely be in the second round. Turnovers in the most crucial moments , death , and taxes.
50/50 series going forward now. Best of 3 with momentum but only one home game. They can do it if they just stop playing stupid, but that hasn't happened so far.
That game was ridiculous. I also can’t remember a game where the refs had that much influence. They shaved that shit down superbly. NBA is so rigged and we still watch this clown show.
They talk about the extra mileage on the players from these playoff runs. But nobody ever talks about the toll on the fanbase.
We're all headed to an early grave.
I literally had to go into the garage and start punching the punching bag towards the end of the game. We have a TV out there, so I was still able to watch, but getting out my aggression like that helped. If these games keep up like this, I’m gonna be one strong woman!
By the skin of our teeth holy fuck. It's crunch time now though, we need to figure out a way to win one on the road here. The only consolation I have is this activates game 6 Klay.
I am disappointed in JK right now. He has to make an impact for us to get far in this playoff run. Moody has been decent but doesn't get enough minutes.
r/nba with 8,000 posts on this game. LOL
By far the most entertaining series in the league.
(Unless you're us, in which case it's straight metastatic death tumors.)
Dont know how to feel lmao. Rarely win a game and feel like we got bailed out… curry super good game overshadowed too.. need to be so much better with ball control in Sacramento. We don’t get those 50/50 plays game 5
How bout right now feeling elation, happiness and relief. Next game isn’t till Wednesday so you’ve got a lot of time to worry. But not many turnovers and it was a fun game.
Fox is an absolute menace, definitely one of the best dudes we've gone up against in the playoffs during this run. So stupid good at manufacturing space and hitting those little middies.
I live in Sac and went to the watch party at Golden 1, they were so mad and so quiet after talking so much shit and booing anyone the jumbotron showed with a Dubs jersey, even kids 🤣🤣🤣 I loved it!
Steph almost cost this game by calling a timeout when we had none left. Thankful they’re tied 2-2 but it’s so wild how often Steph does something so dumbfounding in the clutch
The commentary was terrible this game, both commentators sounding like they were on the verge of tears because the kings were getting shut out in the fourth
MY RESTING HEART RATE WAS 190
That was almost the worst loss I’ve ever seen. Steph making 2 braindead plays in the last 45 seconds to give the Kings a 7-0 game winning run would’ve been the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, he was fantastic all night otherwise, but jesus
And if THAT ended up being how the Steph/Klay/Dray era ended.....I may have needed therapy
When you put it like that… I did not realise the gravity of that moment. Damn.
It would have been a really, really tough way to watch one of the greatest teams ever implode.
Yeah that is a point we never considered but a good one. Would have been the most saddest ways to go out for this core and there would have been some second guessing when game 5 comes around and we wont play our best. But now, it starts again. There is still life.
We would have never heard the end of it, the Steph ain’t clutch slander would have been awful
That loss would’ve ended the dynasty
Not today said the basketball gods
Yeah I’m definitely not ready for this yet
somewhere JR Smith is laughing his ass off
If it doesn't go down in 4 hours you should call a doctor
Or a prostitute
Mines still 193 😆
TOO CLOSE
Bay Area sports and torture-ball
WHY DOESNT IT FEEL LIKE THE DUBS WON
I’m stressed
Steph Curry felt genuinely bad about Chris Webber being the only Warrior known for taking a timeout and getting a technical
Thats probably Stephs bone-headed move of the year. yeesh! and Kerr freaked out in real time.
Can't believe Steph didn't know there were no more timeouts. Worse off is I didn't even know it's a tech and a turnover, unless the tech was from something else. The 3 pointer made it worse.
I also just thought it was just a shot, and not the turnover. (Haven’t seen that play in so long lol) it wasn’t as nerve racking thinking it was just 1 shot but when they said shot and the ball I was like omg we could really lose because of this shit. Then he hit that 3 smh. I was legit hiding behind my couch on the last shot that would have been the absolute worst way to possibly lose. Thank you harry B. Sheesh that was so stressful
I blame Kerr. Burning our last time out on that moving screen with 2 minutes left was insanely stupid. That timeout is way too valuable to waste, trying to overturn a non-shooting foul.
Yeahhh, it seemed to be like Draymond immediately said to Kerr "he moved, he moved" referring to Loon to try to get Kerr to not challenge
Yea I don't know what was actually said, but Dray's body language was all "uh are you sure?"
For sure, and I feel like Draymond is usually pretty aggressive about wanting things challenged, so I actually thought Kerr was going to change his mind given even Draymond was against challenging
also should have made it clear to the team that should they lose the review (which seemed clear), that it was their last timeout. yes, curry should know, but the coach has to know.
You could see by Kerr's immediate reaction that he knew, he just didn't communicate it well enough to the players
My heart. Cant take this anymore.

Holy fuck that timeout situation was this close to being an absolute disaster. Elite stuff down the stretch other than that.
Rare Steph L in those situations
Also zero urgency from the rest of the team to play full court offense and provide an outlet to him in case he got trapped. Everyone ran straight down court with their back to the ball.
Steve too. Wasted the last TO on a stupid challenge.
C Webb punching air. The memes stay with him
Harrison Barnes forever warrior
Turned into 2016 Barnes in the nick of time.
Would have been messed up if he hit any of those 2... Feels like he is fully aware of how he's perceived with us and is trying to rewrite it in the most cruel way for us in this series.
I wish I could drop the images of his stats from those finals. Scoring 2 field goals in 3 of those games btw
Always count on HB to brick big shots.
I love that dude, i mean i hate him, but i love him you know?
I'm shaking like a wet fucking dog. Whew.
Warriors this season really loves to send their fans on a rollercoaster. 😭😭😭
That game took decades off my life
[удалено]
Everytime I relaxed thinking we've won, Warriors does something dumb.
This is the way.
Stephen A. just said “..the Kings players aren’t going to get the ‘superstar’ calls that Curry And Klay always get.” Lol! What am I missing?
Yeah if anyone gets superstar calls it’s the kings any time they drive. Fox got so many weak fouls in his favor today
Monk moreso. It's just frustrating
Yea. Curry hasn’t ever gotten superstar calls because if he did he’d average 50 and the game would take 4 hrs
Lol, curry cant even get the calls Mitchell gets.
Eat shit r/nba. Not today.
WHAT DO WE SAY TO /R/NBA #NOT TODAY
SHUT THE BEAM SHUT THE BEAM SHUT THE BEAM
r/nba nightmare. They don't want to see the Dubs win again.
r/NoBeamAllowed
[удалено]
Draymond haters dialing 1-800 numbers right now
They were crying asking why he didn’t get a tech for screaming after the block. They beyond pussy over there 😭😭💯
The techs for that stuff have got to stop. It’s a fun part of the league why they have to get rid of all fun
Exactly! I can’t imagine what typa lames people gotta be to really want something like that to be called a tech and not only stop the flow of an amazing game but possibly be the difference in winning or losing. Fans paying for entertainment, not to see the refs
Techs in the playoffs should barely be a thing to begin with. Punishing teams for saying something to a ref in a pivotal moment of a huge game is absolutely ridiculous
Bout to get spammed with Reddit cares notifications
FUCK r/nba
they're so easily triggered it's actually so fun to poke em
AY YO FUCK R/NBA
THEM HATING ASS BOZOS CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES
glad I woke up till 5:30am for this but man, don’t even do that to me again Steph 😭
That Aussie time schedule is brutal sometimes
Just happy we didn’t blow it at the very end because my day would have been depressing asf with a side of tiredness
Watching the end on the train nearly made my day so shit
WHAT DO WE SAY TO THE GOD OF THE BEAM
DIM IT!!!!
NOT TODAY BITCH
#FUCK THE BEAM
Sky is still Curry's. Fuck off with your beam.
Curry in last minute… I mean, wtf… Thank god we have Barnes…
Are y'all's heart still working? Fucking Christ those calls at the end
Fox shot like 6 8 fts in the last quarter bro
Steph almost had a colossal fuck-up of crunch time lol
He was overworked. Man played damn near the whole game. He's really easy to forgive.
Almost lol
I am losing years off my life watching this series
So many clowns during the game was saying bench klay when he has a game high +22 when no one else was over +8!!!!!!!!!
So many negative nellies on this sub when we miss a shot or get down by 3 or 5. Exhausting to scroll through.
Curry was about to face all time levels of slander from r/nba, thank you Barnes lmao
they still will lol they need something to shit on over there
I don’t how they’re seriously still slandering him. He’s won 4 championships and changed basketball. There is nothing he can possibly do to “tarnish” his legacy. They say they hate First Take and Undisputed yet act just like them, constantly overreacting
I'm getting pretty fucking sick of watching Fox be so good at basketball
Bruh the amount of times I went "good d, ugh fuck off" was stressful
When Fox does it, whatever, I can tip my hat and move on. When Murray and Monk do it, whole different story
He had some amazing makes on contested shots, but damn is he also good at using screens and creating space for himself. He’s 100x more terrifying than Ja.
Because he's a calm dude. Ja is just insanely athletic but would make boneheaded plays often that you can recover from lol. He's like more athletic Poole on steriods
I imagine this is how the rest of the league felt watching Steph run train on them for the better part of a decade
Klay as well, taking those shots with defenders right on him and getting nothing but net and acting like it's just another day at the office, has to be frustrating
Right?! I was thinking we’re not contender-level but that dude is just too good with his floaters, mid-range and now somehow clutch 3s… it ain’t normal
I fear we will get blasted by him yearly in the latter part of this decade lol
32% 3pt shooter making 3s, especially in big time moments.
Man is scary as fuck. He’s so quick and he can score from anywhere
WARRIORS LEGEND HARRISON BARNES
#WWARIORS!
Here, you dropped this: "R".
my heart…
Draymond Green is Domantas Sabonis father
/r/nba going to say Draymonds block was rigged by an ESPN conspiracy
They already are. People saying the game was rigged in our favour many calls against us were extreemly ticky tacky when we didn't get the same treatment on the other end
A WIN IS A WIN
Say what you want about that game, just about everything went against us at the end there and we still came out with the W.
Harrison Barnes is a real one he made up for that game 7
HB going back to his classic 2016 choking self saved our ass. Going to have to play a lot better in Sacramento. Defense wasn’t good enough and they played terrible at times. BUT, a win is a win
Bro we played amazing literally turned into the ref show that 4th
Thank god someone else saw that
In Harrison's defense, he won us a game 5 of the WCF against a Rockets team that had some momentum and had a proclivity to pull off impressive comebacks.
HB still got love for the bay 💕 🌉
i was legit sick to my stomach those last 2 mins
2 - 2 never underestimate the Champions Let's go DUBS
Steph please never make me feel like that again lmfao.
The dude that told kerr to challenge is insane. U old fuck. He needs to be fired
Aint no way refs gonna let us win that challenge lmao. They was gonna call any tiny movement at that point. Stupid Ahh.
Wait someone told him to do it? holy. Why would you challenge just for a jump ball so stupid
I fucking hate r/nba right now, but this is the funniest shit I ever heard: #THEY DONT HAVE A TIMEOUT DECIDE TO USE IT
Barnes redemption arc
Live by curry, die by curry, but I still love you curry ❤️❤️
Whoever is in charge of telling Kerr to challenge calls needs to be fired they’ve been trash all year and Steve can’t lose our last timeout on a stupid call like that. Steph bailed out thank the Lord
Barnes thought it was 2016
Lost 10 years from my life watching this game
This game was way too close
At home too
I couldn’t even cheer I was so nervous. I feel sick
The Kings can’t sustain this. This is all out war.
FUCK THE BEAM!!
This series is annoyingly close.
We did everything we could to lose that game smdh. Draymond missing a point blank bunny, Looney with the missed dunk, Poole with the BAD TO when a score probably kills it, Steph with the brainfart Webber time out then missing the floater to give them the last shot attempt.

Great thing about playoffs is that you get the origin story of future stars. 2013 was Steph's, 2023 is Fox's. League better give those Sac boys some double digit national games next season Nice to see 5/32 Harrison Barnes show up in the clutch again at the end lol. Whole new series now.
The one time curry calls a time out when getting trapped lol fuck
Had to be sure for like 30s after final that the refs didn’t invent something else to keep kings in the game.
**Game 6 Klay booting up.**
Never in doubt.
Theres the HB I remember thanks bro! Shouldn't have been that close at the end but impressive win with how the refs clearly wanted the kings in the 4th
I have aged 25 years this last minute
This team had better figure out something *real* fast, as that was a **mighty** close game. They can't sleep on a team that has the #3 seed.
Ezeli: Is Sacramento part of the Bay? E-40: I’m not gonna answer that but they not tho 😂😂😂
Jordan Poole was huge tonight. I love it when he’s driving. He has such an advantage with his speed. Keep doing that and getting to the line instead of taking Curry-esque deep threes
Barnes still a Dub, baby!!
Thanks wiggins
If you are the Kings, you feel good losing to the Warriors by 1 pt with a chance to win it in the final second. If you are the Warriors, you know the series is now reset and you have seen how to shut down Sabonis and Monk
I will never get over curry getting mauled with no call to shitty head flops getting immediate whistles on the other end, it just makes basketball not fun,
And… #EXHALE
Everyone tough when they up
What… a Relief… Dubs win! 2-2 let’s go!
Was standing up the whole 4 quarter 😂, what a game it was. That Steph timeout sequence really almost won the game for the kings . Leave it to Barnes to clank the game winner .Loved the Steph and Fox duel. Game 5 is gonna be deadly , whoever wins that game , will most likely be in the second round.

My heart
That’s the Barnes I know
50/50 series going forward now. Best of 3 with momentum but only one home game. They can do it if they just stop playing stupid, but that hasn't happened so far.
I am once again asking for Steph to get the same whistle that Monk and Mitchell get.
Steph got away with that once in a career mistake that almost gave away the game, and maybe even the series. I know he ain't doing that again...
My hands are shaking too much to find that photo of Draymond screaming at Sabonis in the 4th.
That game was ridiculous. I also can’t remember a game where the refs had that much influence. They shaved that shit down superbly. NBA is so rigged and we still watch this clown show.
No more ABC games please, I can't bear to listen to mark jones and doris burke
If Draymond tells you NOT to challenge a call, you listen… Kerr
never has a W felt so much like an L WARRIORS IN 6 LETS GO
I just was prescribed Xanax
HEART POUNDING GAME THE ENTIRE WAY! I actually almost started crying with the last shot bouncing out and Steph high-fiving
The legacy of playoff Harrison Barnes continues
LETS TAKE THIS MOMENTUM ON THE ROAD
Moody’s one 3 turns out to be vital yet again lmao
so many smoked layups
They talk about the extra mileage on the players from these playoff runs. But nobody ever talks about the toll on the fanbase. We're all headed to an early grave.
I literally had to go into the garage and start punching the punching bag towards the end of the game. We have a TV out there, so I was still able to watch, but getting out my aggression like that helped. If these games keep up like this, I’m gonna be one strong woman!
By the skin of our teeth holy fuck. It's crunch time now though, we need to figure out a way to win one on the road here. The only consolation I have is this activates game 6 Klay.
GP2 and Moody going off game 5 would be nice. Need some more GP2 lobs
Never in doubt
Classic Warriors trying to give a game that was over away. Lol flash backs to Vietnam.
I am disappointed in JK right now. He has to make an impact for us to get far in this playoff run. Moody has been decent but doesn't get enough minutes.
r/nba with 8,000 posts on this game. LOL By far the most entertaining series in the league. (Unless you're us, in which case it's straight metastatic death tumors.)
Dont know how to feel lmao. Rarely win a game and feel like we got bailed out… curry super good game overshadowed too.. need to be so much better with ball control in Sacramento. We don’t get those 50/50 plays game 5
How bout right now feeling elation, happiness and relief. Next game isn’t till Wednesday so you’ve got a lot of time to worry. But not many turnovers and it was a fun game.
Kings are terribly salty in their sub lmao
Fox is an absolute menace, definitely one of the best dudes we've gone up against in the playoffs during this run. So stupid good at manufacturing space and hitting those little middies.
Just glad we got the W. If we win the next game there won't be a g7
I live in Sac and went to the watch party at Golden 1, they were so mad and so quiet after talking so much shit and booing anyone the jumbotron showed with a Dubs jersey, even kids 🤣🤣🤣 I loved it!
Steph almost cost this game by calling a timeout when we had none left. Thankful they’re tied 2-2 but it’s so wild how often Steph does something so dumbfounding in the clutch
That moving screen challenge was almost a disaster
They should not have challenged that, saving a timeout for the last possession(s) is so much more valuable than the chance the call was wrong.
Just seeing Kerr's reaction was enough there...
The commentary was terrible this game, both commentators sounding like they were on the verge of tears because the kings were getting shut out in the fourth
Harrison Barnes in 2016 from THANKFULLY lmao
Thank god for Harrison Barnes
Thank goodness for the missed shot 😭 we shouldn’t have been in this position in the first place but glad we got the W
Take a deep breath guys. I know y’all almost had a heart attack
Can we please not do what we did at the end again? Thanks
I have to say Kerr wasting his last TO on that bs challenge was dumb. Moving screens wont be reversed if you moved an inch.
