They’re hoping they don’t win it😂 it’s on now! Let’s go Dubs, we believe🙏
Jimmy Butler is a beast, but I don't know man! They are going to need more than Steph and Jimmy going nuclear. Boston has very few weaknesses and their superstars are in their prime. If Chet Holgrem comes back to OKC and is 85-90% healthy, I don't see the Warriors getting past the Thunder. Hell, they may even struggle with the Lakers, Houston, Memphis, and Denver. I just don't see it!
Our young guys(on the Warriors) are going to step it up..
We call Jimmy Butler, Jimmy-joy, because that's what he brings to us.
What’s SAS saying? Should they fire Sam Presti?? He’s the only one doing his job well
Fk last time they said such thing about GSW and Curry, GSW ran through the Boston. U think if you are in NBA you need to have a champion mentality in every Game.
I was alarmed at first but when I heard my goat confirm the mindset I was moved. My goat about to put his stamp on nba history again #30
They ain’t beating Denver
The Warriors have the experience though. Playoff Jimmy! You've been warned!
If warriors into 6th place they can beat any team in seven game playoffs
Stephen A riding Draymond on every occasion hmmm….
Y’all keep doubting us again
who is scared of LeBron then?
If Kuminga comes back strong and Warriors get Malik Beasley over the Summer like the rumors say then they definitely are in title contention
People like to forget that Golden State beat Boston in the Finals 2022 and Butler was the anchor to that Heat team that lost the FInals to Denver in 2023. Together they definitely have a shot to contend.
I know we say it about alot players but Jimmy really does deserve 1. This man made himself a Superstar. Out of all the contenders in the East, the Heat probably had the least amount of collective talent, and he brought them to the finals twice. Philly chose Tobias Harris over him. Him and Rose would have been a powerhouse in Chicago. Treated as if he was a madman in Minnesota because they had all the talent in the world but were soft. Nah, Jimmy need 1.
Imagine lbj going on live tv after the lakers got luka and he said the lakers are winning it All, he would’ve got ridiculed for his statement 😂
PERK gotta get ready for some slappin' again just in case of most rare cases GS wins the chip
Fvckingg draymond green as if he gonna avg 20 in the playoffs.
The winner mentality is not for these clowns
Warriors the scariest team of the last decade ! I would never sleep on them, especially from young teams
Dubs have beaten the Thunder and the Celtics this year without Jimmy. No one wants to face to Warriors in the playoffs.
They will get knocked down in the first round
Let's see on Friday. If they can beat the sacramento, and then we can talk.😂😂😂
Crazy that Stephen A started naming players for the Thunder under Sam Presti while looking at Perk and didn’t even name him like he wasn’t on the teams 😂
They said this in 2022 that the warriors had no chance to win a chip then they did it so I wouldn’t count them out
Yeah why didn’t curry let it fly from 3 last night in the contest
Celtics in 5
OKC is 1 -2 against the Warriors and this was before adding Butler. Warriors would gladly take on the Grizzlies and Rockets in the first round. Nuggets are the only team in the top 4 that could make it hard against GSW.
Dude talking bout Sam presti like he dribbled the ball one time this year😂
did yall forget jimmy took the 8 seeded heat to the finals without tyler herro? Put up 37 a game against the 1 seed bucks who just won a chip with the same roster two years prior? And no other player on the heat avg more than 18 ppg the whole playoffs?
We all know Steph is listening 😂🤣😂…he gon remind them soon
They beat those top teams already and could do it again
Golden state warriors 2025 nba champs book it
I’m calling it now
Mark my words
Let’s goooooooooooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉
Also Stephen A and Shannon need to be drug tested immediately
Bunch of haters
Don’t get me started
Playoff Jimmy is always a problem for the league
Question.. this year, How many times the OKC meets with the Warriors? And whats there record?? 🤔
Well said Stephen A!!❤
they won okc and celtics this season
I remember when GSW won the '22, one of the reasons they made it that far is because of Wiggins. Technically, GSW got a much better version of Wiggins in Butler III.
I think they can do it. declaring it to the world is a good indicator of this team's mindset. Crazy? maybe. But I've seen this kind of crazy before. It has that same vibe when Curry said "You don't wanna see us next year".
