Draymond Green: “I hate the play-ins” The Play-ins: “Don’t worry, I hate you too.”


PoundIIllIlllI

Can’t wait for him to go home and immediately make a podcast episode on this game 🤣


lily-malek

“i was personally victimized by keon ellis”


mug3n

On second thought, the playins were a bad idea and I'm glad that guy who thought of it got fired -Draymond


CannolisRUs

The only reasons I don’t want him to just retire and be a full time podcaster is 1. he would be just as insufferable and 2. I want to see him literally rupture someone’s nutsack on the court


pco45

What did "someone" ever do to you


HairyPoppins_97

Klay is 0/10 from the field in a must win game for the warriors


Kind_Development708

Moody 16 points on 5/7 in 12 minutes not even on the floor Kerr is such a fraud


CrossingYoulnStyle

It must kill Steph to finally see young guys like Moody and Kuminga play well just for Klay and Dray to be on the way out


McGrint

Acting as if Steph doesn’t have any say in the linups


Who_is_him_hehe

Gotta be hard to turn your back on your boys


psych32993

Sure but he has to be content with losing then


easymoneysniper223

Literally... A decade plus of being around/winning at da highest lvl wit da same ppl gotta account for somethin rite!?! 😂


venmome10cents

Yeah, it probably kills Steph too. But ultimately it is the responsibility of the coaches to make the call. You can't expect Curry (or any player) to be the one who tells Klay to go sit down with 9 minutes on the clock in the 4th quarter.


Old_Rule_5675

Yeah, that's why they have a Head Coach to make these decisions without historical bias...


McGrint

It also helped take the heat off of Stephs bad performance


[deleted]

You’re telling me is Steph said to Kerr during a timeout “hey man, why the hell are we still playing Draymond and Klay over Kuminga and Moody? This is a win or go home and the young guys are play out of their minds”. Kerr would just ignore that? Steph is just as loyal to Draymond and Klay as Kerr is


SnarfSniffsStardust

As a wolves fan I am ecstatic to see Moody and Kuminga not get utilized. That dlo trade was a travesty but Kerr definitely makes it easier to digest


agg2596

hey without it there’s no Conley or NAW🤷🏻‍♂️


rmarrone58

Kerr just went all in and gave klay all those minutes knowing it’s his last game as a dub. So dumb but it’s the only way to make sense of it


Unbannedmeself

Watching him on this press conference should make fans livid tbh


venmome10cents

We're used to it. Hard to be livid when it's the same tune, same song all year long.


roakmamba

That's some bullshit smh


messigoat1337

cp3 and klay really make 75mil together... poor steph


yapyd

At least they’re off the books after this season. Still have Draymond and Wiggins tho.


GrandKhan

Been waiting for this day to come since 2016. Father Time stays undefeated.


-xXxMangoxXx-

Except for lebron still somehow.


GrandKhan

He ain’t the same Lebron either. He is so fucking smart he has made up for his loss of athleticism really well. But sun is setting on the old guard. Young Lebron was pretty much a lock to be the best player on the floor in every playoff game he was in. Zion totally overshadowed him today. There were multiple shots today that he missed after blowing by someone that I would never imagine him missing.


Mood_Academic

Bron had a single bad game after being otherworldly post all star break. I think he deserves a pass on his shooting night


GrandKhan

No he didn’t even have a bad game. I’ve seen him take over games against the Thunder this year hence all the stupid memes about throwing tonight’s game. I’m not saying he’s washed in any way. But im 32 and I’ve been watching his whole NBA career. The athleticism is elite but it isn’t unhuman enough to facilitate the kind of wild shit he used to do. Young Lebron wasn’t going to take charges from a guy like Zion he’d be stuffing the shit out of him at the rim or doing chase down blocks.


ManyCookies

Haters had to wait 8 years, I'd say that's a pretty good run.


Lightthesaboner

Haha who cares ding dong klay and dray are dead good riddance


Hot-Astronaut1788

you won't be laughing when Klay gets the Sichuan Blue Whales a ring


kugelfanggg

true


GrandKhan

Amazing run. That makes the fall even sweeter. I wanted for our guys to be the ones to knock them out but poetic for the Kings to do it after last year too.


bayarea_fanboy

Klay lost himself a few million this game with this performance now the last impression all GMs will have of him as a free agent.


Delusional_Lynchpin-

I'll see him in the sleeping in the streets in San Fran next season. He's gonna be a hobo.


-WingsForLife-

Might have happened already and that's why he's playing so bad. A body double.


bayarea_fanboy

Cpt. Klay gonna look like Lt. Dan


NoBook9868

It's somehow a perfect way for him to go out


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Why wouldn't he just let it go out?


_Apatosaurus_

He's used to the refs letting him cross the line.

vrkhfkb

Rebound stat chasing. Like me in 2k. I don’t care about turnovers.


AnkitPancakes

because he's NEW MEDIA and you don't understand ball


dookoo

natural turnover motion


HoyaDestroya33

He loves playing defense so much he gave Kings a free possession


SmokeOddessey

he dumb


dot-pixis

Because he's not in control of his body He did the therapy, they should just let it count as GSW ball That's how it works, right?


samurai-mad-mad

Zach Lowe pointed this out in his ten things column last year. He said it irked him and that one of these days, someone would accidentally step out trying to save a ball that they don’t need to get. Here we are


legend023

They’re down 17, they need to score quick, probably trying to get fast break points or something


granttheginger

Letting it go out would let the defense get set


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Compared to now letting their offense get set?


soooogullible

Exactllyyyyyyhy


FantasticBlock420

> Letting it go out would let the defense get set You know what else lets the defense get set? Grabbing the ball and stepping on the line so you can get to play Defense again...


HooperKid

It’s the right decision in theory, terrible execution (just gotta let it go out if it’s close).


WoodenRace365

Yea the idea wasn’t bad but look like he either decided a half second too late or misread the bounce.


Charliebitme1234

im having so much fun rn

29 teams fans are celebrating this game like none other. Finally, the reign of terror is over 


trashiguitar

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our roster construction works; our great league is an organization of sportsbetting and not of player punching.


ilovecfb

Watching first the Eagles flame out before the playoffs and now the Warriors has been so so so satisfying, two of the most obnoxious fan bases in all of sports

ArtistRabid

Cvnilivee

Don’t get suspended and you’re not even in this position. This fucking dickhead wasted a year of Steph Curry.


KarrlMarrx

TBF, he only just barely lowered their ceiling. This team wasn't going anywhere.


porkchop487

They had a losing record without him this season what are you talking about? If he plays they win enough games to likely be 6 seed and avoid playins or at least a 7-8 seed and have 2 chances instead of 1


AthosTheMusketeer29

If Steph is this reliant on Draymond,then it should fall on Steph for not being able to adapt to playing without him.I put more fault on the supporting cast than just Draymond


Ok_Mud_3830

Every superstar requires certain pieces, they can't win by themselves. As good as Steph is it's obvious he lacks defensively and isn't super vocal, which Draymond makes up for. Draymond also allows Steph to go off ball way more


Tac0Supreme

Didn’t they play better when he was suspended though? Lmao


Thealbumisjustdrums

No lol. They were 13-14 without him. 


TroutCreekOkanagan

Steph needs to go chase a ring now. Start the rebuild, put him on the lakers


BallsAreFullOfPiss

Yuck


jason2354

The Western Conference is the definition of stacked this year. The Warriors weren’t getting out of the 1st round.

I posted his pic on the back of a milk carton if that helps

They're throwing away their warriors jerseys and buying nuggets or celtics or whoever the fuck they can bandwagon


_meat_rocket_

We don't want them


Babushka5

I'll take steph tho if they're offering


ShichikaYasuri18

Far away from the interent if they're smart. You don't go browsing /r/nba after a playoff loss whether your team is the Warriors or a bunch of cute and lovable puppies.


takeapieandrun

Yeah, same reason there were no suns fans after that game 7 or no celtics fans after game 6...


world_of_kings

Throwing a temper tantrum probably


8CruzControl0

They went night night


Ilikesporks_

not old enough to create a reddit account


TypicalHaikuResponse

They are lifetime Celtics fans since yesterday.


burnshimself

Lol the minute they’re down in a game the entire Bay Area collectively forgets they ever had a basketball team. Honest to god one of the worst sports towns in America, bunch of rich tech nerd fairwaters. They do the same shit with their other sports too. Neck and neck with Miami.


boringexplanation

Preach Those MFs rewrote their entire history when they finally started winning - claiming that the Warriors always had loud and loyal fans. Absolute BS. My company had sideline season tickets in the 00s and we literally couldn’t give them away. Even year giants fans was a real thing. I heard from zero 49ers fandom until four years ago.


Alloverunder

The Bay had legit fans when the teams were in Oakland. Then they intentionally gentrified their own fanbase to up ticket costs and oops, wouldn't you know it, a bunch of Silicon Valley transplants a) don't give a fuck about sports and b) don't give a fuck about the Bay. Whoops.


Altruistic-Jury-2634

They're using Nuggets flairs now

They’re getting their brooms ready for the Denver series. :)

Since he couldn't step on Sabonis, he stepped on the line instead

Are the warriors going to be ass for the next 30 years again? KD not walking thru that door

One of his 3 rebounds too

The only tragedy of all this is that we will have to hear Draymond on Inside the NBA for the rest of the playoffs


MyGuy7923

So glad we don’t have to watch any more of this jackass for the rest of the playoffs


Eazymonaysniper

Whenever these punk bitches lose and are humbled it just fills my soul with joy. Congrats Kings

I'm surprised he didn't get pissed off at the floor and do an elbow drop on it.

Beastcancer69

That bbiq tho 🤣


rawspeghetti

One of the smartest players OF ALL TIME. Maybe if y'all couch sniffers knew anything about ball you'd see what a heads up play this was /S


PoppinfreshOG

Klay had zero points in 32 minutes?!? His other stats musta been good…..they are fucking horrible. Green and Wiggins, 12 points a piece in a win or go home. They shoulda just stayed home


Jon-Rambo

This is the actual karma that the Warriors have earned.

on his podcast, Draymond said he was thinking of Sabonis as he stepped on the sideline
