What's with the phantom foul on Loon-dog? Refs making it too obvious.
The hottest of takes...

I have a friend who bet GSW moneyline and MEM spread. Refs came through for him.

It's a shame the greatest block of Podz' life didn't count.

Anyway, they got it done. Not super confident in the playoff result seeing all the problems this team is having, but at least they got there and you never know how it will go.

A win's a win, but man these games are tough to watch.

No way these old men can go 40 min a game through a full playoff season, or maybe even one series.

Definitely. Butler and Curry can only do so much. They will need JK in that series. Post should play more than Looney only because of his shooting.

Correct. If the "others" continue playing like this, it's going to be a short series against Houston, and not in a good way.

Sure they can. They get a full day off between every game. They’ll be ready.

They need him, but they probably won't get him. He's on ice.

Edey - four-year player, racked up accolades, 7' 4" how does this guy fall to #9? Dumb GMs have a bias against four-year college players.

Those BS foul calls, the one on Draymond where Eden held down his shoulder, then Draymond fouling out maybe a light tap against Bane, then Podz blocking Pippen Jr., then the call against Looney or Moody, gave Eden 2 FTs.

That’s 8 FTAs at the end of the game, of which Grizzlies hit 7.

They were trying to make the Warriors play another play-in game for the ratings and another big sellout at Chase.

Crooked BS.

Warriors were outplayed from the point they had a 20 point lead so most of the second half and the last couple of minutes in the first half.

But those 7 points made the game closer than it should have been.

Jimmy was great, now can he keep it up every game? He had easy pickings with Eden trying to stay in front of him. Houston has a lot of length and they’re physical, very athletic. Just have to hope they don’t shoot like they did a couple of weeks ago at Chase.


Warriors didn’t get much from Podz or Moody. GP2 and Post hit enough shots.

that 28 mins of Podz is wasted...terrible terrible game. If we cant get our players to play defense then its over vs the rockets.

Steve Kerr will play 4 guards just bet your money on that

This is crazy... Warriors open as -1.5 pt favorites at Houston in Game 1, and get this...

How are the Warriors bigger favorites over the Rockets than the Lakers over the Wolves???

Wow that Clippers Nuggets tied. Good money should go on the Clippers but I wouldn't bet on the Joker and you never know Playoff Murray.

I think if GS can get a big this summer from trade or FA this team will be better next year, Curry and Butler's games aren't going to fade quickly.

I think it was Aldama who was called for 5 sec violation.
