Why The Golden State Warriors Loss To OKC Thunder Had A BIG Silver Lining
The Golden State Warriors weren’t able to win, but they did hang with the now 21-1 Oklahoma City Thunder, even leading for stretches in the 4th quarter. Seth Curry hit shots early and often, Pat Spencer had one of his better games as a Warrior, and the Dubs used a full team effort to hang, despite losing Jimmy Butler to injury early in the second half.

Steve Kerr was not coaching to win and that's pathetic. No fire at all and bad rotation. Constant four guard lineups and Holgrem had a field day.
Theres no silver lining. Okc didnt even play caruso, hartenstein or dort. They were playing casual and sga closed them out like they were todlers
Ever since Shai posted on IG 5 days ago: "how can i go back and forth if i'm not really back in fourth's?", he's had to play in fourth's!!!🤭
Kerr, he doesn't change can but refuse. The only thing this game shows he will continue more with small ball the score with guards doing the scoring only re- enforces his theory that he can run it back again like 2021-22.
At least we had a pulse finally
Will always be grateful for Steve, but it’s time to move on. Won’t happen though. And I get it, 4 titles.
There’s no silver lining.
We ain't going anywhere with JK, Buddy, and Moody on this team. They are completely unplayable.
Dinkleberg!
The Third Quarter Warriors killed it.
Kerr put Podz. 3 min left in fourth. Podz came in and CLANK. Cold 3 from the bench.
Trade green get a bigger center
Kuminga played great and he didn’t see the floor again
JK is 50%playing..it is an effect of his option trade close..why gsw still want JK trade..put his mentality as gsw..so that he can play and develop his play..
Fire Kerr IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Why did he leave out Pat and Seth in the 4th? Kerr is the problem. Can't even coach a close game without Curry. Why TF is he subbing players like a damn robot without and nuance or context?
It is very tiring seeing Buddy and Pudz screw things up.
THIS AIN'T A DAMN MORAL VICTORY. WE HAD THIS GAME UNTIL KERR HAD TO FK THIS GAME UP BY TAKING SETH CURRY AND PAT SPENCER OUT THE GAME. THOSE TWO WAS WHOOPING OKC IN THE 2ND HALF.
20:39 I was watching Hield taking those 3-point shots. I think he needs to practice his 3s like Steph Curry. Curl around the screen and other off-ball movements to get to his 3s would really help out this team.
One thing you can always count on is Kerr destroying the momentum by putting in Podz lmfao
The first player I hope they trade is JB. We all know he's not a good fit.
He might be a good leader, but his leadership doesn't seem to work for Warriors' young players though.
Kerr and small ball is hurting this team.
Pat Spencer is better than African Kobe
Why can't someone get some guts and said, steve Kerr needs to go I know he is your friend but it's ridiculous. The absolute static lineups that he put out there it's ridiculous. He just constantly keep giving up games when he could win them . the defensive coach and the head coach.
It is on Kerr and small ball line up! Trade Podz! Kerr is playing him way to much!
Kerr will not stop playing Podz…therein lies the problem
Moody had a bad game, and JK did not look good. He wasn't explosive. That knee does not look 100%, or even 80%.
Shout out Dian Waiters!! Syracuse, The Orange Crush!!!
Quinton Post always leads the stats.
If copium had a podcast..
Stop. OKC was up 19 and took their foot off the gas against a .500 team missing their star players. OKC flipped the switch when it counted and won by double digits.
Warriors are a mid team with lots of roster problems and need to package up a bunch of their guards and get more size at the trade deadline.
Never had the hopes up. OKC had the same nonchalant energy the Warriors did during their peak, knowing they could easily squash their opponent in the final minutes. They were hanging out while the Warriors tried to play out of their minds.
I also agree with everyone blasting the small lineups and player choices. Wild to switch back to the players who put you in a hole in the first two quarters when your current guys gave you a lead. It’s baffling.
kerr livin vicariously through podz
lj cryer probably wont play under kerr then go 2 another team & pop off like ryan rollins
I hate the way sga plays offense. It's ugly… just grab the ball with both hands, throw them and your body forward, swing up, then make sure you have the stability of a leaf.
Pat does something that Podz can't do finish at the hoop, take his man off the dribble and cook his opponent.
Should have closed with Spencer and Seth instead of the squelch brothers…we have a mentally defective coach. Can't be gone soon enough. 😡
You don’t need superstars to play good basketball. Without Steph, Jimmy and Draymond, the team looked good for a 1.5 quarters. Can Kerr take note of this and adjust? I doubt it. He will continue with the same old thing. Can we be encouraged? Nope
The Warriors really looked good. They need a legit center to stabilize this team's progress rest of season …Zubac, Gifford, Boucher et al …..
Yea i checked out this podcast when i heard Chuck said Podz and buddy was good.
In Basketball, it is W or L. I do not know they have any other kind of victory.
SGA is amazing and a joy to watch! Didn’t like going up against him, the Dubs had a great run late in the game before SGA and his pals took over!
Crazy Kerr and his obsession with Podz who’s awful puts him back on the floor to close I knew it was over!Seth Curry was smoking and Kerr takes him out the game.
The Thunder dynasty has begun.
Podz can’t play long as he’s playing heavy minutes the warriors will lose!The warriors could of won the game if Podz stayed on the bench!
Well it was a winnable game tbh. But I don’t get how JK sat down in the 4th. Too many Hield minutes and Pod.
Kerr loves closing games with Podz and it bites us again. Also, I noticed everytime we put in JK we made a run as well. He was snatching boards. Maybe he's on a mins restriction still but Kerr hates closing games with him. It doesnt matter who starts with Kerr, his favorites always close games. Podz and Buddy
What are schedule losses at this point
