    Not even mad at our play, we lost all our momentum because the refs wanted their bets to hit, no MVP needs 20 fucking fts unless his name is jokic, in which case you call every single foul which involves some sort of touch no matter how little

  2. SeekingSignificance

    Jockstrap: 18 free throws
    Steph: 1 free throw that was for a defensive 3 seconds

  3. Stevelar

    For the first time this season I am convinced we can win the championship

  4. youmakemesoerect

    We could’ve used Draymond this game

  5. jellybeanz9

    Well hard to win when blowing at the Denvers counts as a foul…..

  6. SnooEpiphanies5959

    The difference between curry 5 fta and jokic 6 fta averages is that in key moments, in key games, whenever they decide to really press, jokic will get 10+ fts and curry will get 0

  7. Robotsaur

    Pretty terrible time for a Trash Bros game. I know this team can’t really afford to lose games, especially against Western Conference opponents, but given that this was only a 6 point loss, it sorta felt like a moral victory.

  8. LaughingPlanet

    We had the longest active win streak in the NBA (for about 2 hours)

  9. Finessing2

    ‪Don’t understand Warriors fans who want Wiggins traded, WE are NOT winning a chip without him.‬ Also we’re not winning anything with Steph starting passive then trying to play catch up all game.

  10. thatssomecheese8

    Every fucking time someone touched Jokic it was a whistle. Hard to get any sort of momentum when every other possession is free throws

  11. Ahrilicious

    Andrew’s past 2 games have been incredible and nephews will still say shit

  12. InfiniteDub

    18 fucking free throws for Jokic and just 1 for Steph.

  13. Possible-Purpose-701

    momentum was so obviously given to the nuggets, neither team had any passion to win and all the calls just tipped it

  14. CoolMoon_

    Glad it stayed competitive but man did Curry and Klay stink up the joint. Doesn’t help when Jokic is taking the flopping to a whole new level smh.

  15. Boostaru

    Felt like the paint was free for the majority of the game but the team kept opting to shoot 3s instead

  16. WisdomCow

    What I learned today:

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, it’s a Foul and 2 FTs for Jokic.

  17. Strongmeta

    Good sign that we’re competitive at least. Bench mob keeping us in the game every time we play the Nuggets

  18. ambiguouslarge

    lumps of coal for all the refs

    Klay had been doing well but we got a stinker today from him

  19. lofitoasti

    We should’ve closed with Wiggins and Kuminga, both being on the floor was what was creating all those Wiggins-Murray mismatches. Klay’s effort on the trap at the end was extremely disappointing.

  20. Comfortable-Asf

    I’m tired of seeing Steph not get calls and other stars living at the line. I love Joker to death as well, but god damn Silver. Steph been getting rookie treatment for years now.

  21. marionettas

    Honestly they kept it pretty close despite Klay and Steph shooting terribly, it is what it is gg

    Also I hope this puts to rest all the trade Draymond posts for a bit, there’s 0 chance Jokic gets anywhere close to 18 fts if Dray was playing

  22. GuestBadge

    If a guy is gonna shoot 18fts at least make him earn them with actual hard fouls, not these ghost fouls.
    Jokic bleeds and gets 0 FTs, and our guys don’t play him hard and he gets 18fts.

  23. firebrandonstaley

    A lot rides on how well Klay plays.

    If he plays like shit on both ends like he did tonight, it’s straight up hard to win games. He takes up a lot of possessions on both ends of the floor.

    When he plays well everyone else plays better.

    He’s gotta be better

  24. hoodfavhoops

    You could see the difference in continuity in the clutch offense. Nuggets knew exactly what do to do every possession, going to Murray, Jokic, and then having decisive passing.

    Meanwhile, the Warriors besides Wiggins isos didn’t really have anything. The constant lineup shuffling, injuries, suspensions, have definitely hurt the Warriors ability to be decisive and surgical in the clutch. There has to be some sort of strategy and plan, rather than relying on heroics every time.

  25. Rough game for the splash bros. But man it’s funny they say Jokic ain’t a flopper, he had like 18 fts today

  26. And todays game is the perfect example of Silvers new NBA. They’ve done the advanced analytics for ad viewership in the contract season. Ref ball increases ads and is actively inflating the deal. Fuck ref ball

  27. sergechewbacca

    Well Wiggs was great. Podz was great.

    Refs continue their tradition of screwing over the Warriors.

  28. pnoisebored

    i bet nba gained new refball and freethrow fans this christmas.

    steph off vs an elite team. this is the type of refball game we need another fuck you shotmaker. thats what KD gave us fuck you shotmaking and also drawing fts. wigs played great but he aint a threat for 30pts or a good ft shooter.

    great showing by podz tho. would have liked to see more tjd and rim running in 4th. but kerr and vets name a more iconic duo.

  29. ArtfulLying

    I said to myself if they can stay competitive, I’d be happy. And they did. So I’m happy. Have a great holiday season everyone!

  30. SlsughteredForBlood

    Man those 2 3s they waived off from curry literally hurt.

  31. StinkmeanerIV

    The Splash Bros did not shoot well period.

    Jokic was also a flopping & FT merchant and the refs were only too happy to reward him for it ffs.

    But fuck it, we go again! 😤

  32. Mas_Basura

    This is why I hate the NBA. Steph curry brings SO many fans to the sport, and they let him get clobbered with ZERO fouls (okay one single one) and it’s just bad for the sport. Obviously they are biased and who cares about Jokic getting a record 18 straight FTs when Steph doesn’t even get a single call.

    Its sickening

  33. lihtness

    Refs need to be held accountable. This is not basketball if refs are one sided.

  34. AllGravitybruh

    The Nuggets almost lost to Air Podz…that boy better be all rookie first team. Steph & Klay sold hard which is crazy cause we got another Wiggs redemption game.

  35. Achilles_Wrist

    Not mad at that loss — think the momentum is still there and so are the winning vibes

    If anything, game probably got away from us at the start of the 4th quarter but Ws stayed competitive

    What I am a bit mad at is that stupid graphic they showed at the end… 1 free throw for Curry to 18 for Jokic. For years I’ve loathed the offensive fouls called on Curry too. How did Jokic not get called for at least one, two flopping techs?

  36. PositivePossibility

    So this is why a random NFL game has more viewers than any NBA game ever

  37. banditobuster

    All I want for Christmas is for Steph to get the same calls every other superstar seems to get time and time again. Most infuriating fucking thing.

  38. WisdomCow

    Jokic the flopping fat man

    Gets himself all the free throws

    If anyone looks at him

    Jokic flops, the whistle blows

  39. Fickle_Muffin_1320

    The nba product is so unwatchable. Like wtf is their agenda. Those touch foul calls are ridiculous. You can literally call any player for those type of fouls. The refs can pick and choose who they want to call it.
