Steph Curry Gets ZERO Help Late, Golden State Warriors For 3rd Time To Portland Trail Blazers
The Golden State Warriors let a golden opportunity slip away, wasting another epic Steph Curry performance. Jimmy Butler was not good enough, and the rest of the #Warriors made sure it was Curry and Curry only. A brutal performance down the stretch that should make fans ask some serious questions.

Curry "slipped up". He said: it's not JUST "the jimmy thing", when asked about offense. Clearly, Jimmy's lack of offense isn't cutting it, and waiting for the playoffs isn't what this team needs. We need to trade jimmy, dray, jk, and buddy. Maybe podz also
I’m done trade Jimmy
Fire Kerr and Dunlevy
The defense and energy is wayyyy worst with the old guys for some reason. This is unacceptable.
Kerrs system is beautiful but it’s built for sharpshooters
Any INCONSISTENT player is killing us.
Podz good bad bad good not gonna work
All these guys can you please just score 10 per game damn
22 one game 3 the next come on
This game made me strongly consider stopping being a GSW fan. I was yelling at my screen the entire 4th quarter, and half of the third. How is it that an entire NBA team, excluding steph, can't make a bucket when it matters? They looked like a bunch of high schoolers out there. I had literally no hope every time anyone but curry shot. Super surprised by that podz 3 late- he never makes those…
But worse than the offense, was the defense. Layup lines, leaving guys wide open for 3, constantly screwing up rotations, they played like they've never played together in their lives. How hard is it to not help 1 pass away? It seems impossible for these jackasses. How hard is it to guard a guy who's making wide open threes? JUST PUT A BODY ON HIM. instead, they got wide open three after wide open three in the 4th.
I'm exhausted with the 4 guard lineups. At the very least, they should box out instead of trying to outjump people with a foot in height advantage over them. I saw one box out the entire 4th quarter, and that was jimmy. But let's talk about that tool for a second. Jimmy is playing like a mediocre role player, why is he getting paid over 50 million a year? his drive and kick to the opposite corner is so freaking obvious, and he again passed up some easy shots at the rim to do it. And, he's passing to people who CAN'T SHOOT to save their lives. Then draymond comes in and literally throws the ball away almost every time he got it. He had one good play after the 1st half, that backdoor to steph, and that was literally it. He wasn't a presence on defense, and he turned the ball over like… I don't even know what to call it. Careless is too weak of a word. It was like he was going for a record or something. It was the most infuriating game I've watched the warriors play in memory.
Where is Kolsky?
We scored enough points to win. This game was on the defense. We gotta get rid of these guards and get more length on defense so we can stop people and rebound.
Steph need more help and they tiring Steph out it a shame get Steph some help so they can win
How do we live in a world where a guy named Kon Knipple might be ROTY?
Facts
New coach wanted
Overpaid and overrated Jimmy is not Robin but an Alfred. He can’t take over games when it’s needed.
Warriors media will still find a way to blame JK instead of looking at the head coach. Can’t take you guys seriously 😂
FIRE KERR
It’s clear it’s a mess with the warriors I don’t want to hear us talking about the finals until we can run off a 8 to 9 game winning streak until we see other players become consistently better and reliable. Just embarrassing 🙈 I can’t look 🫣 anymore
Perfect sign would be Steph Curry taking applications! This sucks!
Heat fan here. Yes this is typical regular season Jimmy but now he’s older so it’s worse. Heat fans would beg for him to be aggressive. When Jimmy is engaged and aggressive in the regular season, your team has a chance. I know warriors fans are counting on playoff Jimmy, but he hasn’t been that since he got injured in the Knicks series in 2023. Although we made it to the finals that year, he was pretty much playing on one leg. This is why the Heat did not pay him what he wanted. They asked him to do more in the regular season/ be available. Availability was the Heat’s biggest concern with him. It looks like he’s been pretty available for the warriors but he’s not playing aggressive.
They do Stink. They may not even make it to play ins
THE FRONT OFFICE NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY CURRY AND TRADE HIM TO A CONTENDER. HE DESERVES BETTER THEN THIS.
Will Kerr ever adjust?!?!?!????!! I doubt it. : ( Is it time to trade Green? I would not mind seeing that. I bet he has more trade value than JK
We need a Wiggins , POA defender who can score
Green with his turnovers… 8 this game. He's done. You need help. Butler hasn't decided to play yet. Moses's inconsistent from one game to the other like BP. Trade the whole bunch except Curry.
Feels like Jimmy slumped a bit especially during crunch time. We
The help is there – we have three hall of famers on the court. The coach has killed team morale.
Jimmy thinks he have the warriors money worth by the wins last year
Trade ideas–
Trade Draymond, Podz and Horford to Detroit for Duncan Robinson and Paul Reed.
Draymond is from Detriot and he could go home.
JK and Hield to the Kings for Keegan Murray, Keon Ellis and Maxime Raynaud.
Moody and GP2 for Herb Jones
Swap Butler for Jerami Grant
Can’t make a play if you’re out of position
Somehow this is kumingas fault 😂
The help is sitting on the bench.
JK was there ready to make the step up and make it easier for Steph to get easy buckets, but got DNPd over and over, now he couldn’t care less it seems.
Old Jimmy and old Dray at PF and C aint it.
I see a lot of Warriors fans knocking Kerr. If it was me I would be knocking the GM. Y'all need some bigs. Butler was the wrong move. Should have traded for some bigs.
I think Nic Claxton would look good on Golden State.
If the Clippers blow it up go after Zubac.
Kerr is a criminal for what he's doing to GSW. He has ripped the heart out of this team, fully encouraged by Joe Lacob and the front office. It's too late now for GSW…they've been reduced to trash by this criminally insane impostor posing as a coach
Set screens pass to Steph
Chris Paul is 40, Mike Conley is 38, DeRozan is 36, Westbrook is 37, Harden is 36, Holiday is 35, Rubio is 35, Griffin is 36.
Steph Curry is 37 will end the year at 38. In my experience if someone is bucking the trend, in terms of production, there is likely a reason. Rumors have long dogged LeBron, but IMO it is more likely than not Steph Curry is using some form of PED's.
Does anyone know when/how the league goes about testing players? Is it just at random, whenever? I assume players would know the gaps are. For example if they are sitting for load management or "injuries" is the league less likely to test, than during a stretch they're playing?
Or would it be more likely endurance PED's would be used say in the off-season/training?
Fans at the chase center need to start to boo. So Kerr can go!
15:54 yes this is regular season Jimmy. Literally every year then the playoffs come and he’s prime MJ
Curry style of solo basketball is no longer winning basketball type.
Give it up!
