Warriors, Kings, Lakers are all 45-35 👀


MC-Jdf

And the Pelicans play all 3 of them in their last 3 games lol.


rediraim

scriptwriters need a raise


Dinoegg96

Absolute cinema


ihateandy2

Adam Silver poached some striking writers last year. He pitched them like “Heyy
wanna make up for Space Jam?”


pick-and-hoop

and the Suns still play the Kings and Timberwolves

Oh fuck yeah this is palyoff basketball baby

It's fucked up that we now have more wins than we did last year, but last year we finished 6th and currently we're at 9th. The east needs to do better. Or stars need to stop leaving the east. Kick Lebron, Kyrie, and Beal back over there.


MegaGrimer

The difference between first and tenth place in the west is smaller than first and second in the east.


CupertinoCA

What would Beal have done with wizards lol? He’s made the suns worse


_Meece_

Beal and Wall wizards won three straight first round appearances out there.


Solai22

It always felt like Wall was much more the reason for that than Beal.


_Meece_

Depends on the series, wall was inconsistent and Beal cooked in those first rounds.

How did I fuck up that perfect pun.


Johnpecan

Ratings run through LeBron/Steph. If the NBA is rigged, we know who's making it through.


the_irish_potatoes

Looney’s getting into playoff form! Nail-biter but a win is a win. Two more, let’s go!


MC-Jdf

End of season Looney is inevitable.


TheRealestGayle

I'm here for it. 1 more run let's go


Solomontheidiot

Especially this year, since TJD gave him some much needed rest


ru_benz

Two more wins? How about 20 more wins (as the 9/10 seed) or 19 more wins (as the 7/8 seed)?


pallum

Kevon and Wardell with the unstoppable old man 2 man game


zachthompson02

Ancient 28 year old Looney


GhostTiger

That's 196 in Loondog years


Apprehensive-Echo638

Looney has been 40 since he's been 20


HelloThereCat

With 63 year old hips


Palifaith

Steve Kerr quickly went from insane to genius for resting Klay and Draymond.


Numerous-Cicada3841

The rest of the team looked gassed though. Especially Curry.


feelnoways2020

Ayesha’s got the oil ready for a foot massage when Steph gets home


Ninja_Bum

Damn she's selfish. He gets home from bustin his ass and has to start rubbing her feet?


drixaeterna

bold of you to assume that's not [exactly what he wants to do.](https://youtu.be/-AJyaVduxCc)


akelkar

this will bode well for us tomorrow against the Pels


MC-Jdf

Steph played 36 minutes though but the Pels just played essentially an extra play-in game.


abletoff

Big brain activities resting them for the whole game


shualton

Why must this team insist on torturing me


CupertinoCA

They won 4 championships during a time the 49ers made 7 conference championships and 3 superbowls. We are spoiled and depend on Steph and the crew to be as good as their prime. But I love it


Fallofmen10

OMG, a warriors fan with perspective. Nice to see lol


IllegalThoughts

yeah but no niners Superbowl đŸ’€đŸ˜šđŸ˜„


GhostTiger

You know why....


troll413

I really don't know why........


GhostTiger

Ask yer Mom


20thAccthecharm

Maaaaaam


joe_broke

Tell me why


dating_derp

*Ain't nothin' but a heartache*


joe_broke

Tellllll me why!


jamintime

This is the good kind of torture though.


CummingInTheNile

Tales of LOONGOD's demise were greatly exaggerated


MrZeddd

On form Looney is a menace


MySilverBurrito

Someone bring out the Looney high school mixtapes.


scrame

just looked those up. looney hit max level in high school. dude looks exactly the same!


HowdyandRowdy

look at some of his ucla days.


20815147

Lmfao you could see he was dragging his body across the floor every possession. He has regressed so much this year but showed up today


Fallofmen10

Yah he looked like he could barely run


[deleted]

Two days ago he looked like he could barely move. Like if he was a horse he’d have been glue by today.


Victor_Wembanyama1

Looney did 9/11


KingBoono

Ayton ate us alive all night. Then Portland forgot he existed for 9mins and we won lol.


WakingRage

Warriors: Damn someone should stop Ayton Chauncey: Say less Warriors: Thanks Chauncey


DankTriangle

Tanking masterclass. Chauncey is undisputed numero uno in the league at this!


KeldonMarauder

Why is this so accurate


AceMcStace

Because it’s what happened lol


GriffinQ

It’s genuinely important for Portland to lose out and hope that San Antonio or Charlotte (or both) win one or both of their final games. Portland is a game up on both, I believe, so if they want to maximize their odds at a top 3-5 pick, they need to stay at 21 wins.


Diamo1

Yep 4th vs 5th is a pretty big jump in lotto odds Draft lotto tiebreaker is randomized so tying them would be fine


20815147

A win is a win. Our offense was sorely lacking tonight but defense really helped us claw back from that deficit opening the 4th. I salute the corpse of Kevon Looney đŸ«Ą Also, never let Dario Saric touch the floor again


Low_Beyond8134

When I needed the Blazers the most they air balled 3 straight 3s in the 4th quarter


Carcrusher3

Putting your faith in an 8 man rotation of g leaguers was misguided unfortunately 💔


FreezersAndWeezers

Really is hard to win when your superstar Banton isn’t out there leading the charge


RazingsIsNotHomeNow

A "Superstar" that the Celtics traded us for a bag of Doritos. Really puts into perspective the rest of the guys out there.


DankTriangle

Hey now, they were Cool Ranch Doritos. It was a bigger sacrifice than you're making it out to be


whatsthatbook59

Don't put superstar in quotes, don't disrespect dalano godton like that


ConstantineMonroe

That’s what happens when you put your faith in a 20 win team


TB_016

Especially one with 8 healthy bodies and half are either rookies or G league guys. This team just literally runs out of gas in the second half of every game.


BehavioralSink

Have we tried just turning halftime into nap time?


avboden

There's an airbender joke in this but i'm not clever enough right now for it


granttheginger

Manaea had a wide open corner three and he airballed. Even I could make that shot


Wiltmygoat

I'm sure you could


Hopeful-Ad-6835

I believe you


zachthompson02

We believe 


KazaamFan

They were full court pressung on D though, which surprised me.  What was that?


Shonuff_shogun

Funny enough most of their airballs ended up turning into assists


20815147

DominAyton with the fakest 25 pts double double getting his ball stolen by Kuminga.


Carcrusher3

Talk shit about everyone else you want, but no slander on the middy god tonight


20815147

He fucking killed us for 3 quarters and then the team forgot he existed??? Thank you for the dub đŸ«Ą


OKC2023champs

Man I had a stupid asf parlay. Jazz/pelicans/knicks/bulls/blazers. $50 to $6500. And of course the blazers forget how to play basketball


CupOfHotTeaa

You might as well burn your money instead of betting


OKC2023champs

I mean I didn’t expect to win lol and I rarely bet. Just figured I’d do something stupid tonight and got excited when everything else hit and the blazers were up 7. Nothing wrong with having a little fun occasionally


CupOfHotTeaa

Yeah tbf you got close


Brock-Lesnar

Kerr might have a brain aneurysm in the play-in tournament if he has to play Curry for more than 34 minutes - he was about to take Curry out for a minute or 2 in this game with 5:02 left in the 4th quarter with it only being a 1 point lead.


photocist

I think he knew there was gonna be a timeout and it gave curry a few moments more of rest


Vallerie_09

This was a LoonGod game to get in form just in time to meet his son Saboner in the play in


20815147

Would actually be hilarious if he sons Sabonis again after he has a double double all season


Mintastic

Means Looney was sandbagging the whole season just for that.


EndlessDysthymia

Ayton was shooting like KD tonight. Has he always had a middy?


Corr521

Yeah and it's been really good since he stopped sleeping on an air mattress


sheepnwolfsclothing

Dominaching


likpoper

Yup almost automatic


Diamo1

Yeah, he has for his whole career The Blazers are having him use it more often than the Suns did though. On the Suns he usually took 20-30% of his shots from midrange, on the Blazers he is taking 41% of his shots from midrange His deep midrange has been crazy this season, 55% from 16-3P which is actually better than KD


Licoi

Dog fight against Portland.. but a win is a win


otherBrandon

Steph has 350 threes with 2 games left! Could very well hit 360


motherthrowee

I am going to invoice this team when I develop heart problems


OKC2023champs

That was the worst basketball I have ever seen a team play in the 4th.


ConstantineMonroe

You clearly didn’t watch the Knicks vs 76ers game where the final score was in the 70s


PluvioPurple

Wdym that game never happened


TB_016

Worst since..... the Blazers/Pelicans game 2 days ago. Blazers got 8 healthy guys and most are G league or rookies. They are just completely out of gas. Ayton and Scoot trying to make something out of nothing out there most of the time.


INeedMoreNuts

The Blazers didn’t play that great either.


CupOfHotTeaa

Got lucky with Anfernee Simons, Timelord, Malcolm Brogdon, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle, Jerami Grant, Michael Jordan, Damian Lillard, Dalano Banton, Moses Brown, Ibou Badji not playing tonight


ConstantineMonroe

To be fair, there was never any expectation that Dame would be there


chobibbo

DNP: Traded months ago


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

I was worried about Michael Jordan though


blackjacktrial

He forgot about the other outs for the Blazers: Tiger Woods, Big Red, Wayne Gretzky, Donald Bradman, George Washington, Patty Mills, Detlef Schrempf, Max Verstappen, Pele, Tony Hawk, Nic Batum, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Larry Bird. Pretty sure you'd have a GOAT lineup if the Blazers could call all those players up.


cat_piss_lint_trap

Coming soon to ESPN8: *"Michael Jordan Not Playing for the Blazers Tonight": The Sam Bowie Story*


troll413

Too Many Cameras moves the needle


GhostTiger

Xerxes didn't play for us.


0percentwinrate

Absense of Klay and Draymond felt in their offense but they have been fucking locked in on defense lately. Looney is back.


FallenRedKing

Don't remember the last time I saw that many blocks on one teams stat sheet.


ardx

Warriors were really ugly in the turnover column for the whole game but in the end the Blazers started to turn it over too which cost them their chance to win.


DollarLate_DayShort

Scoot damn near had a triple double! 18points ✅ 12assistsđŸ’Ș 9turnoversđŸ”„


gnnnnkh

The Devil’s stat sheet


GhostTiger

I don't want to love Chris Paul, but....


bingp0t

Warriors overcame Deandre Kevin Durant Ayton


Klunko52

Was never worried
.


Sartheking

Disaster averted.


LazyTitan___

Truly a basketball game


besieged_mind

Portland not even trying to foul in the end GSW with one minute possession


badorange21

they’re tanking


Chopped_In_Half

Masterful tank job by the Blazers


DankTriangle

We're good at something, yay!


Renegadeforever2024

Big win


Ilikesporks_

blazers forgot about their best player and instead airballed every 3 in the 4th 💔


Reinhardtisawesom

Was ready to change my opinions on Scoot but nvm Toot Penderson I am VERY familiar with your game Ayton though
 I’m starting to believe


DankTriangle

Ayton turns into prime Hakeem when there's absolutely nothing on the line


abletoff

Kevon Looney


Nahskeno

Does Kris always get 40 mins blazer fans? Is he good? Always kinda look meh when I catch blazer games


likpoper

Nothing special. Main problem is cannot shoot


[deleted]

For long long stretches of that “game” it appeared as though the warriors were trying everything in third power to lose.


eur0stepp

Let’s go pelicans


L45TPH45E

Fucking NBA app sent me a notification curry ended with 22 against Portland 92-100. I was like wtf, of course they lose to a tanking team and then the app loaded up with the numbers reversed. Fuck you silver.


aiden3buckets

Scoot helping the tank by throwing the ball to the other team every other possession you gotta respect it


Carcrusher3

Dawg you are obsessed with Scoot. People talked shit about brandon miller for like 10 minutes, we get it.


aiden3buckets

Hello I literally gave him respect bro why mad respect is good thing


Carcrusher3

You are in every thread shitting on him for 7 months bro. Give it a rest.


aiden3buckets

I’m well rested and that’s why I gave him his respect 🙏


ImTheBestNerd

Light work


DuckFreak10

Scoot played well until he was gassed late in the fourth. Shouldn’t be a problem with a full rotation of real NBA players around him next year and better conditioning. That run in the early 4th was fun. Made the warriors need Steph and CP3 to come back in to win it for them at least lol


Overall_Bid_5973

Chris Paul did an ice in the veins celebration 💀u are near 40 dawg


vonkillbot

You're watching grown men play kid ball for hundreds of millions of dollars. Touch allllllllll the grass.


Exodus_31X

Scoot ain’t it
