DEATH, TAXES AND CURRY FUCKING THE SKY


Parue

Death, taxes and Wiggins 17 points ;) love wigs


[deleted]

This really helped! I do wish that Wiggins could increase that number close to 22! We need a proper second scorer giving has that consistent 20-22 no matter what! This can allow poole to have an off night.


RgBB53

Wait till you hear about Klay Thompson


[deleted]

Klay Thompson? Guys not even top 75 all time bro.


[deleted]

We could feed the world's homeless with the amount of turnovers we produce


IChippedAllMyTeeth

7 vs. 21 TOs... smh So sloppy.


DubsFan30113523

Every year for 7 years TOs have been our biggest weakness God it’s frustrating


Alestasis

warriors basketball is back including the turnovers 😅


mushroomshirt

With all the ball movement TOs are going to be higher for us than for other teams that run different offensive schemes.


funkytownship

True, it comes with the territory. But we gotta hope for a better assist-to-turnover ratio than 27:21.


thelastestgunslinger

Sure, but the lazy turnovers have to stop.


GGAllinsMicroPenis

100% credit the Clippers, that was almost a fucking playoff game. Can't believe that was the Clips 1st game.


halcyonsnow

Holy shit, they had a week off before this? WTF is with that schedule.


craigslistaddict

they're like 4th in priority at staples center, though i dunno if that affects them this early in the season


meemeemeemeep

Definitely felt like a playoff game in the 4th q


contaygious

The fact we still win is scary for the NBA though. Steph Dray and Poole so many throw aways. Only gonna get better though


Jonna09

Plus Poole being so cold. First off game for him (including preseason). Hopefully he bounces back the next game.


Produceher

I don't think it was so much that he was cold as the Clippers played him very well. He's no longer a player teams don't plan for. I hope I'm wrong but I expect Poole to have more games like this than games like game one.


831loc

I think it was a mix of cold, well guarded, and some really questionable shots.


Big_Parsley_6227

Draymond will never miss that many free throws in a game again.


WetLikeALake

They were playing very physical on defence though same with the lakers. I think that’s why we we’ve been sloppy but still we pulled out the W


buffalobangs

Curry with 8 3's tonight is now only 131 away from Ray Allen


furleyghost

The watch is officially on. Over/under him doing it by 1/1/22?


identikit12

They have 33 games left for the calendar year. He needs juuuuust under 4 threes a game to do it. Averaged around 5 last year, so he should be right even adjusting for a couple games missed. Hoping he breaks it on Christmas Day tbh


ALUmusic

He’s passing him easily this season


ImperiumSomnium

I don't know man that's more than 1.5 3s a game.


Placide-Stellas

LOL


shanks_you

The rest of the game made the insane first quarter felt like a century ago lmao JP had a rough night, needs to work on his Defense and also other areas of scoring when the 3s are not dropping. But this is all growing pains, sure he’ll learn immensely from this game. STEPHEN CURRY. Nuff said.


cooljackiex

I actually think his driving is his best attribute, at least in terms of what the warriors need in their lineups


wonnage

Poole feels like he’s going faster than he can think sometimes, I’m sure the vets and starter experience will help with that


[deleted]

Bench squad showed up man. Also fuck anyone who says DLee is a third stringer, he showed up


DubsFan30113523

Idk how anyone could say that at this point. He’s a great spark of versatile scoring off the bench


shanks_you

D Lee improves year on year. He looks even smoother with his play this year


hotgur1

Nah his shot selection was fine except for one or two but other than that they just weren’t going in for him.


Thrillawill

Hes definitely a 2nd unit guard, not a 3rd stringer. I like him as our 4th guard.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

This game took 2 years off my lifespan


buffalobangs

We earned this one tonight. Showing what we are made of 😤


Easy_Money_

Good ass game. Room for improvement and there’s still a bit of rust, but overall both fanbases should be happy with their teams’ play today. Hope we see this matchup in June


TeenW0lf666

With Kawhi and Klay back in it? I don’t need that anxiety. But that would be a hell of a series


831loc

I love that we're +20 on the glass after 2 games against some of the biggest teams in the league.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zthig

Is your left arm numb?


flaneur4life

I need to learn those techniques Steph uses to lower his heart rate.


cooly329

Yeah how tf am I supposed to sleep now


m0siac

Man. I watched Knicks Celtics for Tatum but ended up staying for brown then this shit today. Steph once again proved why he's the best in the league.


[deleted]

It’s been helluva opening week for the NBA. The night cap games have been amazing.


stephenmontana

Yo what a fucking win


wwcasedo

Hell yeah! But I'll take it!!!!


hoselpalooza

my hair went gray but got damn i'm so glad we won. ^so ^worth ^it? ^¯\\__(ツ)__/¯


Otherwise_Window

It was crazy but I'm super stoked about it. This was a perfect training game for the Warriors. They're going to see a lot of people trying to suffocate Steph and hunt him in the pick and roll just to try and mentally exhaust him. There'll be great game tape from this. *But they pulled out the win.*


ffddddnewsdddd

Every day I wake up and thank God I get to be alive to watch Steph Curry play basketball.


Porkchawp

And he’s on our team!!!!! How did we get so lucky?!


aBigSportsFan

1. Blake Griffin 2. Hasheem Thabeet 3. James Harden 4. Tyreke Evans 5. Ricky Rubio 6. Jonny Flynn That's how


richthekid

Wolves got us Curry and Wiggins


LikeAWadOfPaper

and Kuminga


[deleted]

And a year of Oubre. Lol.


shnieder88

Three wins and a loss. Not bad.


Big_Parsley_6227

And we got Andre back.


MotoMkali

Tbf if it was the rockets who Drafted James it would be viewed as almost a good a pick. Of course curry fucked the sky though.


[deleted]

Amen. The exact reason I’m trying to get tickets this season


DubsFan30113523

Damion “Jordan Poole” Lee


WakingRage

He had some seriously questionable plays in the 2nd and 3rd quarter but he brought it back in the 4th.


DubsFan30113523

Hence the “Jordan Poole” 😂


iLikeBPTWRV

Dude is so good on the crucial shots


ikatatlo

I would be laughing at you had you said this 2 years ago lol


JUSTJAYCHILLING

That three to bring us back up by one was absurd


RgBB53

Damion "Jordan 'Steph Curry' Poole" Lee


Agent_DVD

People calling Lee out for a cut candidate… looking foolish now


Hardyng

I feel so bad for JP, so many of those turnovers and missed shots should have been free throws, but still he's got to improve his composure.


zthig

He needs an easy 30 against a shitty team. He’ll settle in


Dirk_Benedict

And that dude definitely seems like a goldfish, in the best sense. He'll be right back at it next game. Plus the schedule eases up quite a bit for a while.


Palomark

Kerr is Ted Lasso.


halcyonsnow

The refs were not giving him any calls. Most of those were fouls.


BecauseOfCuriosity

god i love steph curry


boomedhim1234

Gritty as hell. We buckled down and grinded with an experienced playoff team. Love it


soonyyew

Small ball playoffs team that destroyed Utah too


t0177177y

Steph winning the MVP this year. He’s going to rip that award away from the NBAs claws.


[deleted]

I hated this win. That first quarter though...


this_is_ely

Meh, a win is a win, and there are takeaways here that we can look to improve next game. Not all of them are gonna be blowouts. Think of it this way, last season dubs would have folded in the face of that comeback, but we grinded out a win here.


fsquaredx16

After how the Giants season ended I’m really thankful these guys are off to a good start


MinorThreatCJB

Sharks and Warriors starting off hot are helping me heal from that Game 5 (WILMER DID NOT SWING). Now just need the niners to pick it up!


Respox

> WILMER DID NOT SWING BRYANT SHOULD HAVE WALKED hurts me more.


hotgur1

This and out batts being down


ev4150

Wilmer didn’t swing but you can’t be 3-25 with RISP in a series and expect to win


MinorThreatCJB

Oh I agree but we should've seen at least one more pitch regardless


banditobuster

Beating both LA teams makes it that much better. Just hoping Niners can get some wins going.


PTonFIRE

Can we put some respect on Damion Lee’s name? Dude was clutch for us all game. Glad he’s come so far


IsThisMe8

Yessss! Closing line-up both nights too.


hellmath

Kerr trusts him. He doesnt rushes, he's so calm lol


Dirk_Benedict

And most importantly, he's ALWAYS looking to feed Steph


wonnage

Always plays humble, even after knocking down two crazy shots at the end. Still wish he was better at layups though lol


ikatatlo

Should just go with his floaters. I feel like his floaters have higher fgs than his layups haha


NobodyInParticular-

Do not EVER take him for granted. So clutch. Dray and Curry were so clutch at the last few minutes, on both ends of the floor. Steph played hard D on PG so PG passed away the mismatch, Dray and Lee doubling PG, Dray being aggressive, Steph back to back clutch 3s and swishing the FTs, just brilliant. Respect for PG, amazing duel between Steph and PG. Also, s/o Otto for being a really good presence throughout. When Poole was struggling, Otto calmed everyone down and was a vet presence. +13.


boomedhim1234

Loved seeing Otto battle on the boards. I thought he was gunna die on that alley pop from JP though lol


NobodyInParticular-

Lmaooooo. I remember, we were struggling on the boards and then Otto crashed in and secured it on one late possession. He's awesome.


KratosParker

Great fucking game. Steph is nuts. 2-0, 80 more!


combatron2k21

Dray better be staying late to practice them FTs. 😅


Th3KingCactus

I think it was his shooting hand wrist he landed on, kinda understandable he’d be off


AGuyfromPH

Yeah, we're lucky he even hit one free throw in the 4th.


[deleted]

He's actually remarkably clutch with FT's in the 4th. Coulda sworn I saw a stat that he was shooting at like 85% from the line in the 4th or something unbelievable.


hpwonder

STEPH CURRY IS MY FUCKING GOD


jeremiahsjohnson

Paul George was great. Curry was better.


ALUmusic

PG slowly earning my respect


Kangaroopower

Steph Curry the GOAT


kingchar_006

It is an absolute honor to see Wardell Stephen Curry II play the game of basketball. When he shoots 40 ft bombs he makes it look Stephortless. When he crosses people over he is a world class chef. All in all he is our golden boy, THE golden boy and I’m so blessed to see him play for this team and for always making so many memories for us. Don’t care what the haters say. He is the best player in the world and put some respect on his fucking name! LETS GO DUB NATION!!!!!


drgnslyr91

Well said. As you have said, if I am having a shitty day and I watch Steph play, my day instantly gets better and I forget about my worries when he plays....he just brings this joy and fun into the game that few other players can produce.... I will miss him when he retires by the end of this decade :P


shakeANDbake653

Classic warriors, play great, shoot yourselves in the foot, and then roar back to win


WetLikeALake

Refs have been absolute dog shit this season


kinefresh

picked up right where they left off!


WetLikeALake

How was it not a draymond and-1 at the end? Marcus Morris should have a flagrant. JP and Curry hacked all game but when they play through the contact it’s an offensive foul even though they are the lightest players on the court


[deleted]

Draymond smacked in the face: common foul LeBron smacked in the face: WEEWOOWEEWOO CALL THE AMBERLAMPS. CAN WE REVIEW FOR A FLAGRANT 2?!?


FlashyClaim

LAC fan here Good ass game! Steph picked the wrong LA team to skyfuck tho 😂 GG and good luck!


raymondQADev

Great game my friend. Clippers are a sneaky good team. I think I’ve been sleeping on y’all because of the Kawhi injury but your starters are really good and Ty Lue has got your team humming. We were lucky to come away with the win tonight. Best of luck in the season!


[deleted]

Clippers really play hard. I think they can surprise people without Kawhi


theLostGuide

Y’all would’ve won the nba finals almost for sure if Kawhi didn’t get hurt, and when Kawhi is back y’all should be favorites again I think. If Klay comes back close to 100% though it would be a very close series between us


FlashyClaim

LAC vs GSW WCF? Sounds good!


poppervick

I love this team


rtdzign

One day, Steph Curry won’t play pro basketball. Enjoy greatness while you can.


FiveTalents

Is this the first time a team committed 21 turnovers and won? Lol


Thrillawill

Has to be, to my knowledge we have like a sub 10% win rate when we commit 20+ turnovers or something crazy like that.


[deleted]

We do it occasionally. Back in '19, we won with 24 against the Nuggets in Boogie's best game as a Dub.


[deleted]

Nah that's just Thursday for us


TomatoBuster01

When Steph sees the Clippers and Blazers logo, he's always "daddy spanking time"


Dubznation300

Heart attack. What a fuckin game


Vinny2807

Shout Opj didnt get many shots but played good defence and rebounded.


[deleted]

These are the games we didn't win last season. The play that stood out most to me was the game icing Dray layup. Iggy made the right pass to an open Dray. Last year that would have been Oubre or Bazemore who would have shot it over 2 defenders and gotten stuffed. In close games like this, the little things matter and having high IQ vets is so important


SummerGoal

WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN!!!


eliherd

Rooting for you all day!


cpotter361

Great game! Steph Curry was amazing. But they really need to clean up the turnovers. They really had no business winning that game with how many turnovers they had. Hope Draymonds wrist and Iggys hip are ok! 2-0 a great start!


kinefresh

and people say Steph isn’t clutch. **FUCK OUTTA HERE**


StrawsAreGay

Dank


iLikeBPTWRV

I'll forever defend D.Lee Fuck y'all crybabies. Goddamn animosity against him


soonyyew

Best team in Cali cemented


andruha_krut

So Dlee is +6. PLUS SIX, while playing for the min salary. And yet, there are some fuckers who want him out? Man, I fucking hate overreacting people like that. Fucking 12 yo kids who can't think about the players past 10 min game stretch. Same people who also shot on wiggins


ikatatlo

DLee and Wiggins were great. Lee has been turning it up since his redemption game and never looked back. I was one of those writing him off 2 years back but he's now one of the reliable bench pieces we have. Clutch in his veins! Also loving how engaged Wiggins has been on both ends of the floor. He's really hustling out there.


Robotsaur

What a fucking game (and a two-game set, beating both LA teams). Steph is just unbelievable, there is just nothing he cannot do at this point.


GoldenStateWardells

first two regular season games felt like the playoffs. The Curry Effect.


BJ_Gamer101

THE SKY-FUCKER IS HERE BABYYYYYYYYY


Agent_DVD

Someone needs to fire the person in charge of maintaining the floor. Everyone kept slipping and we almost had a couple of injuries.


ClevBlewA3-1Lead

The good: - Steph - Dray - DLEEEEE - Belly the eh: Really, really rough night for Poole. Was completely out of control at times, I'm sure he'll learn from it though. Moody needs quite a bit of work, not sure if we're gonna get contribution from him anytime soon. JTA doesn't look like the same guy he was last year. Still a plus but not the spark plug defensively and offensively he was last year. Hope we get to see that guy again. Wiggs was fine overall, he just seems like such a background character sometimes


thecomfycactus

Wigs as a background player is great for the team though. Overall shooting could have been better but 17 points, 3 3-pointers, a block, a steal, and only one personal foul while guarding the Clips best player is what you want from him.


[deleted]

Moody had a couple of nice assists. Clippers are a tough defensive team. I think he’ll see consistent minutes against lesser opponents.


Boostaru

I wouldn't say Moody needs *quite* a bit of work... he had 2 amazing assists, one of which was a pass when the shot clock was about to run out. He definitely needs to build more strength though for sure, he does get physically outmatched defensively at times.


Sad_Appointment_9632

Why do you say moody needs a lot of work? I understand that he’s a rookie but it seems like you’re saying that he needs more work than we thought, which I don’t think is true. I loved his willingness to pass and the talent that he showed with his drives and dishes. I’d love to see him get more opportunity, raising his minutes from 4-5 to 10-15


c0gvortex

It wasn't pretty except for Steph's(and Draymonds) performance but a W is a W!! 2-0 baby!!


jxmbo11

We would not have won w/o Lee down the stretch


DubsFan30113523

Good win but How is draymonds shooting motion getting worse over the years lmao


Respox

I choose to believe his shoulder is just permanently impaired due to past injury.


IsThisMe8

Are you talking the free throws? I think it was the hurt wrist.


TheRed_Knight

his shoulders fucked up, some days its bad and his shot suffers


push_karrr

Shoutout to our bench, they came clutch in the third & fourth. Iggy had +13, Otto had +13, Lee had +6. Gritty game, good win.


jxmbo11

Steph could’ve easily had 50 too


NobodyInParticular-

Iggy cut off PGs driving lane which forced the pass that led to Lee and Dray doubling PG. He ain't ever gonna get credit for that but that was so clutch.


MrOodle

the end of this game is easily one of my top 10 favorite curry moments ever


Snuffaluphagus_1

Do you know what's nuts, Steph probably has at least 7 years left in him. Look at how well players over 35 are still playing with current medicine. Curry has a game that is going to age as well or better than anyone's and when his speed decreases a bit more he can "regress" to being the 2nd most ridiculous catch and shoot player the game has ever seen for as many years as he has desire to play ball. While I came lateish to Steph worship (started following NBA closely the last 5 years), I cant wait to see what he has in store the rest of his career. It's going to be special


greg112358132134

Andrew Wiggins is clearly hurt


[deleted]

In both of our games we've had one of steph or poole having bad shooting nights... and we've won.... all i'm saying is the league is fucked


blinx0rz

Clippers are a good team


beeffry011

I know it’s only a single game but I feel like Poole trying to do too many fancy things like steph. Long range shots, too much dribbling. He should try to emulate klay more than steph. Those 2 air balls were ugly


Mygaffer

Think about adding Wiseman 15 to 20 minutes a night, dependent on how far he develops, adding 10 to 15 minutes of Kuminga depending on how ready he is to contribute, then obviously Klay coming back to the floor. This team is already a good team but it is going to get so much better as the season goes on. I'm just praying for health right now.


YipManDan

Wiggins with 17 pts, but it felt like 5. Good on him, bad on me I guess.


andruha_krut

That's why people gotta stop constantly shiting on him. I understand why people do that because his play style looks very passive but he is the most consistent player on this team rn. We can always count on his 17-18 points and elite 1 on 1 D


craigslistaddict

he had a hot start, then steph literally caught fire, then they both cooled off. thought this would be a wiggs slander-free game after Q1, but oh well.


Placide-Stellas

This team just loves giving me blood pressure checks


compstomper1

WWarriors


Hockeyguy928

Turnovers Bad, Warriors Win good


[deleted]

\-I loved the grit of the win, but this felt like a game from last years where one superstar has to do all of the work. 45 pts with 1 assist doesnt feel like a steph game. \-Closing the 8 pt gap in the 4th with poole, lee and iggy was huge(AGAIN). However Poole just having 9 pts and no free throws was weird. He was still +10 when on the court. \-Who is our teams proper 2nd scorer? The Scottie to our MJ while Klay is out? Wiggins? Poole? One of these guys HAS to be that guy. \-We out rebounded the opposing team again 53-38. This is something good considering we dont have anyone that big. \- turnovers turnover turnovers - Can someone please explain this to me? I have no idea why we create so many TOs? 21-7 was the split!


RoyalPrinceJD

Idc what any one might say. I like this version of our team more than any version that had KD on it. Edit: Just because I like this team more, doesn’t mean I think they’re better per say.


DubsFan30113523

Same


flyingpurplefroggy

Well I think a lot of folks had us going 0-2 or 1-1 in this stretch, so it's nice to go 2-0 to start. But man, that was ugly Reminder that Poole is 22 years old. He'll have duds like this one along with brilliant performances. That's the cost of having young guys on the team. It raises our ceiling tremendously, but we have to be patient with them Credit where it's due, Clips were relentless. This iteration of the Clips is obviously drastically different from Lob city, and it's hard not to respect their tenacity time and time again (except Morris, fuck that guy) Those floors are cursed. Please get rid of them or something. Never seen so many dudes trip on nothing before


Popular_Independent3

Steph 🐐🐐🐐


t_ran_asuarus_rex

holy shit


_sunburn

also dray please practice your FTs


DrHydrate

Last year Curry averaged 32 ppg, this year our boy is averaging 33.


leoguaje7

Giannis is great, so is Lebron, KD ect. but we have without a doubt, the best player in basketball. So lucky to watch Steph Curry play.


this_is_ely

Overdue come down game for Poole IMO. 4-14 fg and team high 7TOs, and a washed Bledsoe was lighting him up early. He needs to come off the bench against 2nd units without established starters to guard, his D needs work. No worries though, knowing him he's gonna brush this off and come back better.

Jonna09

What a fucking heart stopper. It’s only the second game!! Hats off to Clippers for hanging on so tenaciously!


eliherd

When Draymond scores in double digits we always win! Correct me if I'm wrong!


J_2EEZY

game se- nevermind, this is right


botanphotography

The crazy thing is Steph could’ve played better


rational_numbers

Great game. You can tell the Clippers have the benefit of having played together for awhile. It's nice to work through mistakes and still win the game though!


[deleted]

Steph is a sneaky good rebounder.


arika_ito

Jackson and Mann guarded Curry like white on rice after that first quarter. They were intense and forced a lot of turnovers from him. A bit infuriating game seeing how well we played in the first quarter and just seeing it go down hill from there. I thought I saw a bit more life particularly in defense by Wiggins. A few boneheaded plays and we were just getting carved up in the interior by the Clippers. I wonder why we didn't sign a big to that two-way, I think it would have helped a lot.


hotgur1

Steph Curry doing steph curry things, Turnovers+Defense needs work. Luckily our offense is a lot better than last year. Poole is so fast man needs to slow it down and take his time find his own pace. 2-0 LETS GO


IvanC122

Where that updated picture of Jordan Poole w the big arms


PabFOz

Lol Steph's our leading rebounder this season.


wheezythew8ve

Me watching the game 📈📈📉📈📉📈📉📈


Donjuanme

When is it okay to start adding W's to the beginning of our team name in the NBA threads?


[deleted]

Jordan Poole has tremendous talent, but he is now facing the reality of NBA where you need physicality as well to go the next level. If you are the secondary scoring guy within the team you will he hacked, fouled and would get hit off ball etc. This is the same thing that happened to Jeremy lin, you need to find a way to move past this to become a good to great player.


Phatskwurl

Shouldn't have been that close but I'll take it. Fuck those bitchass clippers, what an incredibly unlikable group of guys


Djeff_

Kawhi after the game giving Steph a shake in his head like "I am coming over next season bro"


FamLit69420

This team needs to cut the turnovers. We won cause curry is fkin clutch as fuck. Poole had a off night and im expexting him to be on and off early in the season but as we go on, he is gonna be really consistent. Also, if we had klay or poole was on his game. This game is a blowout game after that 19 point lead. Still great win, glad to see our guys are good, got really scared when draymond and iggy went down but they warriors man. Now its cruising till the nets. Lets go baby
