So Ja was injured, but Steph doesn't have an injured thumb on his SHOOTING hand? Isn't Jimmy also hurt????? Laughable
I don’t know if they can make it with Kerrs horrible coaching. Bench Hield, not Kuminga. At least he actually played a big meaningful minutes but come on. Post is the most consistent shooter on the team besides Curry. Stop this.
IF THE WARRIORS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE THUNDER OR LAKERS IN THE SECOND ROUND THEY WANT GO KNOW WHERE, HONESTLY THEY PROBABLY CAN'T GET OUT THE FIRST ROUND
SAS and his ridiculous prognosticating. Neither the Lakers or Warriors are going to the conference finals. Do they suspect, if the bracket allows, for LAL and GS to meet in the finals? How have he neglected Cleveland and OKC this entire season? Barkley was right: ESPN and too much of its talent is imbecilic.
9:50 Kerr didn't abandon Kuminga🙄. It was all about matchup, a thing known as coaching. Kuminga will play against the Roclets.
Rockets, comets, electrical sockets. Warriors in 5!!!!! lol I tried lol
10:21 Just stop it! You are trying to stear… Kerr and Kuminga are on good terms. The Warriors chemistry is off he charts for a whole season.
If Jimmy buckets gives 35 + steph 35 they have a chance
The nba has the worst officiating and worst broadcasting teams because what tf is this flip flopping man. In tired of hearing these dudes
lol. can't wait till they get destroyed by Houston and the idiots can shut up.
Yall never address the elephant in room its like yall scared to talk bad about this coach.the game was close because Steve kerr lineups.playing guys too much when u not getting no production out of them for what they supposed to be good at but not getting it when they already a liability on defense and everywhere else
Maybe Ja is jinxed or cursed because he takes no responsibility for his actions. God does not like ugly.✊🏾
Ja got hurt that is true but to act like the warriors were lucky, when the refs actively tried to give Memphis the game the entire 4th quarter is crazy.
Not enough fire power to win the West but that's exactly what they said in 2022
Soon as bron hurt y’all feelings y’all switched up heavy 😂😂😂
Last night’s win wasn’t impressive. They started out slow, picked up speed and built that lead up! The size of GSW is alarming. They fell apart in the paint from my opinion as I was watching. Which is why Memphis was able to get back in it. Well needed win but idk how they fair against the rest of the west. They definitely make it pass Houston 4-2. But I’m nervous about who we draw in the 2nd round.
Ja wasn't hurt that bad, he popped a yerk on the sideline
Rockets in 7
why do they have this random prostitute on screen lol. she looks like a joke. this is a sports show.
Playoff Jimmy is real
ESPN HAS THE WORST NAB COVERAGE BECAUSE THEY GOT TO MANY NON ATHLETES AND NON BASKETBALL PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT A SPORT THEY NEVER PLAYED
All that, and not a single mention of the HORRIBLE officiating against the Warriors!!!!!
FACEPALM of DEATH!!
If ja stays in BANE doesn’t shine and would have to share the ball with Ja. Grizzlies still would have loss.
Isn’t that the guy from MLB The Show?
SAS is a racist dingleberry stuck on Silver's crack hole.
They can’t beat Lakers not in playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't sleep on Houston this season. They are playing extremely well as a team. They're tough and love to bang
Ja got hurt really?? So steph and jimmy not hurt???
Molly in leather does stuff to me not even viagra can
warrriioorrrrrrssssss
Steven A had some drinks last night
The refs tried everything to put the warriors out the playoffs or not cover the spread… playoff jimmy is back, that block by poj on pippen the 6th foul on Dray r u kidding?
Why is this old homer talking?? Steph is 33 or 34 years of age?? Bro your entire job is talking ball and you don't even know Steph's age within 3 years?? Fire this man.
if Warriors bench doesn't step up in the post season the Warriors will be a second round exit. JK needs to be healthy and contribute heavily on both side of the court, especially defense with his size. Warriors struggle with keeping bigs out of scoring and rebounding positions
Don’t understand why J. Kuminga wasn’t used in the post season at all
SA Smith has ZERO credibility on literally anything. He changes his takes more than a baby changes diapers
"If Ja morant doesn't get hurt" well with his playing style and built he is guarantee to get hurt during the playoffs , and he has always been hurt during the playoffs
Lol no they can not. I'll be shocked if they beat houston. They'd probably get swept by lakers in 2nd round if they did.
Houston’s good ,a championship is near in future but that’s when they will bring in a white coach just like gsw did
These refs made it close.
What I saw was an old mistake prone team 100% reliant on Steph Curry magic to win. That's not a long-term winning formula in the playoffs. Houston in 6.
I would like to see Golden State Warriors win it all in June of this year 2025 but I don't think they will after seeing how they narrowly escaped the Memphis Grizzlies team yesterday night there in San Francisco, California State, United States of America. OKC team or the winner of the Denver Nuggets versus LA Clippers team will reach the 2025 NBA Finals this upcoming June of this year 2025. As for who will win the 2025 NBA Finals, I have no idea. Here are the six teams that will likely win it all. We could see a OKC Thunder vs. Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets vs. Boston Celtics, LA Clippers vs. Boston Celtics, OKC Thunder vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, or LA Clippers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers. After seeing the LA Clippers winning in Golden State this past Sunday, there is no doubt about it in that the LA Clippers team is really good and is definitely also a title contending team to win it all this June of year 2025. Only time will tell. Time always tells. Peace…
The difference between the East and West is insane. The Magic v. Hawks game was like watching 2 G League teams play. Whereas in Grizz v. Warriors both of the teams looked pretty dangerous. When are they gonna get rid of conferences so the actual best teams can be in the playoffs? I'm so sick of watching these trash teams from the East that shouldn't even be in the postseason square off like they're not garbage lol
They rockets are coming’’ Stephen a
Did dubs take or grizzlies lose . The dumbest comment .
So do suns lose it because Steph turned it over a green miss the layup.
When curry o Lu scored 3 points
Eastcoast bs . These comments are straight up stupid
