PLAY IN | (8) WARRIORS VS. (9) GRIZZLIES

[NY 567]

Curry misses the playoffs, dropping two chances make it in a row and getting outplayed by Ja Morant in the finale. Just give this man the MVP

Ja Morant wasn't double teamed.

Steph played like an MVP tonight: 47 minutes, double teamed the entire 4th and OT, still put up 39 points. Was he loose with the ball, yea he had 7 turnovers.

But the Warriors had a chance to win and Draymond airballed a game winning layup. I guess Steph probably regrets not jacking up a 3 while double teamed.

Yeah, superstars get doubled teamed. Pretty jarring reality check for the guy now that he isn't playing with Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Ummm. If you can’t say he has the worst supporting cast then maybe you should stop watching basketball. Dude does more for his team than anyone in the league right now

You may be right. Maybe I'm jaded...

because I've seen Dame.

I've seen Harden.

I've seen Westbrook.

Each took relative rubbish rosters to the the first round at least.

All while Curry fans exalted him over them because of....WINS

Dame, Harden, Westbrook,Which roster is worst than the current GSW?

Do your own homework

But I'll get you started:
Rockets 2015
Blazers 2016
Thunder 2017

Laughable to hear that Ja outplayed Steph when one guy was being double teamed.

People saying Steph got outplayed wasn't watching. Steph outscored him being doubled all game.

lebron wants anyone/everyone to help him. how can you be called a goat when you always want another top 5 player playing next to you.

[therealbig3]

Steph is literally throwing the ball to the Grizzlies on most of his turnovers, and we can't even admit that, it has to be someone else's fault.

Lol and CP3 fans are almost just as bitter as Harden fans.

He wasn’t perfect, he had issues with TOs, but he was easily the best player on the court and almost willed them to a win...for the 2nd game in a row. Didn’t really get a lot of help out there.

Not sure what he failed at today, unless you’re saying not playing perfectly = failure.

[GeorgeSears]

Warriors need to blow it up.
Draymond is washed and Wiggins is terrible.

Neither player should be starting on an NBA roster. Dark days ahead for the Warriors unless Klay can return to being the old Klay and Wiseman takes a grand canyon sized leap next season.

Or defend your own crazy opinion.

All those teams are easily better than GSW

I feel like we won that game with one hand tied behind our back. The refs completely erased Jonas. Glad Tillman flopped his nuts on the court.

[SwatLakeCity527]

Yeah, steph should not be blamed for this honestly... regardless of turnovers, he can only do so much

Curry with seven turnovers. That is ridiculously bad.

Steph fans were attacking me for saying he isn't a great passer the other day lmaooo

I didn't even say he was a bad passer. He's a good flawed passer but he by no means a great passer. There's a reason Draymond and Iggy had ball handling and playmaking duties like 95% of the time they played together

And it wasn't just because Steph is great off ball. He has a lot of holes in his pick and roll and overall passing game. Flashy but error prone ball handler too

He's a shooting guard playing Pg

He's always turned into a turnover machine against pressure. Remember the 2015 Finals? 17% turnover rate. Yikes.

...but nobody is going to care because his TS% is still pretty (even though a turnover is much more damaging than a missed shot)

[Admiral-Kizaru]

Im satisfied with this result. I would have wanted the Dubs to win but considering how terrible the roster was, Im glad we even made it this far. We found some really good guys for the future this season. All about finding a way to reload. GG Grizz fans. GL against the Jazz

Really bad turnovers and bad defense

Refs are company men, get used to it.

I have to say that despite somewhat wanting the Warriors to make the playoffs, this was a pretty damn great ending of the season for them. They showed that Steph and Dray were enough to hang with playoff teams on their own, and that Jordan Poole + JTA are legitimate 6/7th men going into next season (the only other + player on the court other than Curry tonight). Here's hoping they find a great trade for their pick (now more valuable) or Minny's + Wiseman for an elite veteran presence and they make a true run next season. They are absolutely good enough to win a title with the right pieces right now.


Grizz proved their grit. They'll get a valuable learning experience against the Jazz.

Turnovers expected. He only ball handler and he getting doubled. Warriors didn't have anybody else who could generate a good shot for themselves or others.

[therealbig3]

Dame, Harden, and Westbrook didn’t have a play-in. Curry led his team to the playoffs in any other season, come on why do we need to be ridiculous about this? “Curry couldn’t carry a team to the playoffs” becomes the narrative when they were literally the 8th best team in their conference and would have made the playoffs in any other year? Are you guys freaking serious lmao?
