Warriors fans are an awkward bunch. This is them celebrating the apparent AD injury tonight on Twitter Spaces. They're always up in our business. The other day they were celebrating the Lakers not getting Kyrie like they just won the championship. Just listen to a random Twitter Spaces on a random day and it's the Lakers they're talking about. We live rent free in their heads.

The way AD cooked KAT tonight though. Man made sure he recognized he was a No. 1 pick before him

The talent level in the NBA today is unreal. Just insane. I've never seen anything like this before. Mikal Bridges is slowly turning himself into a star in this league. And he's only on 22m/yr for the next 3 years. He's having the same trajectory as Kawhi. Started out as a defensive stalwart but is slowly sharpening his offensive game.

AD hurt his foot. It's over

Is CONHESS under CONPSS?

Honlucas:
Me Nd my friend even bet 50k for this match.

I told him Lakers will win he Dy argue we just bet 50k put.

I dy wait for the broker to send me the money

Easiest money you'll ever win

There was no way on God's green earth the Lakers were gonna let Pat Bev laugh at them twice. I guess it's no more over his dead body

And Austin Reaves hit Pat Bev with that "too small" gesture too

Y'all were right. Trade Draymond ASAP

birdman:
I was hoping they delayed Lebron coming back, but Lakers were due to lose one anyways.

They had to integrate him at some point. The earlier the better. I'm sure they didn't want to wait till the Lakers are out of contention, if not what's the point?

Luka is even missing next game. Mavs are cooked Imagine being an average defensive team and then you trade your best defenders for a guy who plays zero D. Worst is that Kyrie could walk at the end of the year.

Anyway, the Lakers would be here to scoop Luka when they break it all up

LeBron and AD combined for 19 shot attempts? Nah, we didn't deserve to win this one.

I saw this loss coming from the 1st quarter. We never looked engaged. And LeBron's integration took away some of our aggressiveness. We go again on Wednesday.

How does Dallas lose back-to-back against a Hornets team who are without Melo, Oubre and Rosier?

This one don drink brukutu come dey talk wetin I no know

birdman:
Bro, put your shoulder down, 2 game win streak now you feeling comfy in lakerland

Say wah?

I've been there so many times this season, trust me

So Ceitics no fit just beat Jazz for us. Just this small favour

The Nuggets are getting into playoff mode

The Rockets defeat the Celtics despite the refs giving the Celtics every possible call down the stretch. They basically told the Rockets, you're a small team and so you ain't getting any favours here.

That's tuff

gamaliel9:
All their additions are doing what those that left could not do, especially

Westbrick [Skip]

The best addition is DLO, followed by Vander, then, snipper Beasley....

DLO makes all pieces to come together...

I would have said Dlo but he hasn't played enough games.

birdman:
They have also been getting better under the new coach. Even before the trades, they were going on streaks. I think people make too much of the trade - there was no game changer in those trades

Lol. You see am? You say there was no game changer in the trade. So Vanderbilt hasn't made them better defensively?

birdman:
I have heard all kinds of talks.
He knows where to give the superstars the ball...
He understands the rhythm of the game...
He does the little things...
Etc Etc...

Yet the guy man dey average 7pts, 7 rebounds as a PF on a team that has weapons that should free him u p.

What you guys dont realize is you what you are describing exists in many other power forwards. And there are at least a dozen better PFs in the league now than Draymond. They just didnt have the opportunity to play with an all time great like Curry. See ehn, Curry is quiet, and sells himself short, and it makes him look less than he really is. At the same time, it makes his teammates look bigger than they really are.

Was Klay really better than say Beal?
Was Barnes really that good a small forward?

Why then are you ascribing all this to Draymond, just for being lucky to be in the right organization with an unselfish all time great?

This is the same Dray that GS fans swear that if not for his suspension in 2016, GS would have closed the deal against the Cavs in 6. There are players that their impact doesn't show in the box score and Dray is the best example of such players. Did Rodman's impact show in the box score? Rodman even averaged fewer points than Dray is averaging. Look at Vanderbilt at Lakers and tell me he's not making an impact because he's not averaging 18 and 10. Dray has one of the highest IQs in basketball. And he is by far the best defensive player on that team.

Abeg if Warriors no want am make e come Lakers. We go appreciate am better.

birdman:
The guy who makes the warriors run never talks. Dre is nowhere near as good as people rate him. On any other team, he would be a bench player

You people underrate Dray too much and it wants to make me mad. But I'll say this, without Dray, the Warriors would have only 2 championships. I would have said 0 but the KD Warriors were just too stacked to feel the absence of Dray. Dray is the engine of that team and Kerr knows it. That's why he keeps getting away with all the atrocities he's been committing.

So just right after Dray talks sh*t about Brooks and the Grizzlies, he gets blown out by them without Ja. Can't make this thing up

Kevin "Street clothes" Durant rolled his ankle during warmup yesterday. Tragic.

Huge win tonight boys. I had given up hope when LeBron got injured but you boys are still grinding it out. We're now in the play-in. Let's see if we can keep this thing going.

Very important win tonight boys. Although you made it more nerve-wracking than it should have been. Can't afford to lose games against play-in rivals at this point.
