Game Story:
BACK-TO-BACK ON WARRIORS GROUND
A weekend of Warriors basketball wraps up with the Dubs hosting the Los Angeles Clippers on the back end of a back-to-back on Sunday. The matchup will complete the second of three home back-to-backs for the Dubs this season, and it will also mark the second of this season’s four head-to-head matchups with the Clippers. The Dubs lost in overtime to the Clippers last month in Los Angeles, and there is no doubt that Golden State will be looking to get one back against a division rival. The Warriors will sport their popular Statement uniforms with ‘The Town’ logo, and it’s worth noting that the Dubs have gone 3-0 when sporting those threads this season.

Jerome healthy again.

Jovan Buha: Clippers lost only Luc Mbah a Moute (soft left knee) as out, which means Jerome Robinson is available.

Man that game was very close. Came down to the final seconds. I believe it would have been a different outcome had Lou Williams not gone down with the injury. Sucks because we were just getting him back!

What I will say is that we need a closer next season. Tobias is a B star player but he needs to be paired with an A star player. Imagine Kevin Durant and Tobias Harris on the same team!

Gallo is a B star player too.

They both looked like A stars tonight. This team is a contender as is. Gallo and Tobias both keepers and if we can’t get Kawhi or Durant then I’d be fine with this team and an upgrade at center.

The second chance points killed us.

We will never shoot 75% from the three point line again. So to lose this game was brutal. It is a fact we can't guard Curry or Durant. Or even Klay. Iggy, Green, and Livingston are all on the decline though. Plus they lost Pachulia and McGee at center. I think this Warriors team is on the decline but still probably the best in the league as long as Curry and Durant are playing. And yes we needed Lou to finish the game for us to win which we almost did anyway. Kudos to Bradley for getting the putback dunk of the year to tie the score at 127. I did not think he was physically capable of jumping over a defender and dunking on him. Somebody should post the clip of it.

We got snubbed in a few calls from the refs that really cost us the game and momentum at the time. Draymond should have been called a flagrant for sure.. no if’s about it.

Just watched a replay of the last play. Draymond had a moving screen on Bradley to clear the lane for Curry. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!

Everyone loves the narrative of Curry hitting a game winner but no one wants to talk about how he got it.
