Warriors getting smashed by the Mavericks.

Without Curry, but down 24 in the 3rd.

Damn, feel bad for them. Hope they're holding their breathe for my sympathy card.

So tonight I went to fuddruckers in Fairfield, CA. They had the Warriors game on. It was the 1st quarter and they showed a highlight from 2007 when the Warriors beat the mavs in the playoffs. There was a family sitting beside me, the mom (I'd assume) asked her sons probably all early 20s to mid 20s what players were on that team. They could name 1.... 1 freaking player. Baron Davis. I started laughing and the lady looked down and said something and one of the guys said, hey Ohio boy you know more. I had an osu shirt on and to be honest I thought there was about to be a fight. My wife looked at me with a nasty look because it was my daughters birthday. But I named 5 more players: ellis, richardson, Barnes, harrington, Jackson. The guy said, Damn you're more of a warriors fan then we are. Then I told them I was a cavs fan. Then left.


I'm sure there are a lot of knowledgeable fans out here that have been longtime warriors fans, but I've yet to meet one. These dudes were likely Lakers fans for years.

Definitely agree. It's just so disappointing watching a team have to play without one of their top players.

Sounds about right.

The entire state of California shouldn't be allowed to have sports teams.

People on Instagram were whining that not only were they missing Curry, but also Ezeli and Barbosa. Well shit, the Warriors should have just forfeit!

Had court side seats tonight for the Pistons/Wolves game. Just an awesome experience to watch an NBA game from that spot

I sat 2 rows behind the Sacramento bench once in Cleveland against the cavs. The speed of the game was crazy from that view. Just couldn't believe how fast they were.

Nope, NBA ain't as tough as it used to be. We've learned that in this thread.

Gotta spend that 50k you're raking in on something. Court side to a pistons game is probably a good $30-$40 bucks.

Had to do something other than your mother for New Years. Figured an NBA game would be it

Still find it funny that Tristan Thompson wanted Draymond Green money. If LeBron was out like Curry was tonight, no way TT would step up like Green did. 29pts, 17 boards, 14 assists, 4 steals.

And F Mo Speights for sending Faried out on a stretcher. Precautionary or not.

The only play time Tristan would see on GS is if they were up 20+ with less then 2 minutes to play in the 4th quarter.
