Let's not forget this 32-47 team already beat them this year.

3 games left and the Dubs could still finish anywhere from 3 to 8 in the West, crazy.

Too bad Houston clinched #2 last night when the Lakers lost. They have nothing to play for tonight against the Clippers.

I know, it sucks. Just hoping because they're a young team, the coaching staff thinks there's more value in going after a win in a sort of "playoff preview" game than resting players. Of course, the Warriors are culpable in the situation by failing to beat Houston 2 games ago, which would have given Houston something to play for tonight.

As expected, Brooks, Sengun, Smith, Jr, Thompson, and Van Vleet are all out for Houston, all for "soreness" or rest.

Yea losing that Houston game has a lot more ramifications than just a single loss. Smh

Lots. Houston doesn't just play the Clippers tonight; they play the Lakers on Friday and the Nuggets on Sunday.

No game for me tonight. I'm currently in a hotel in Oklahoma City getting ready for a 5:00 a.m. check in for back surgery. But I will be watching the scores.

Warriors just have to take care of their own business.

I liked the part where the team had scored 3 minutes in 4-5 minutes in total, and the Warriors genius gameplan was to have them go B2B on shooting 3s. Absolute 4D chess level thinking by the Warriors.

8 points in well over half a quarter; didn't realize the Spurs were an all-time great defensive unit.

I think the goal should be what the Warriors are doing, shoot only 3s. That's the only way to success when you keep missing shots.

Where have I've seen this story, came for a walk after shellacking another crap. And once you do that, it is very hard to flip the switch on the fly. I hope I am wrong. Freaking SA was always a pest
