Warriors/Kings Postgame, Steph, Draymond, BP, Coach Kerr Reactions | 2024 Play-In | April 16, 2024 

This game is quite a microcosm of the entire season of the Warriors.

Why didn’t Moody get more minutes when klay and Wiggs were cold???

nothing to blame for this loss. kings was so prepared to face and get a win against warriors tonight credits to them and for warriors bounce back next year 🙏

Benching Trayce was an Asinine thing to do. I don’t care that Steve has years of experience with all those coaching rings. Why the heck would you bench the main player that resulted in you making it this far in the season? Trayce was too integral to our chemistry. This game was an F In coaching.

Tracey kept GSW going. Kerr panicked early went Looney.😂 Wigs needs s change of scenery...

Love the warriors! Can't wait to see em next year! Love watching all the games! Wishing all the warriors the best and have a good year!

Kerr is a Mad man, you had a starting line up working for you, but u so old and believe in vets you change it

Its okay Warriors! This was a special teaching season...hope every Warrior was attentive. Loses teach us all about our resilience, loyalty, trust and perseverance. It looks like the Warriors have them all!! Praying that this team rests up, stays healthy and looks foward to the winning season ahead next year. Keep God first and never lose Hope! Go dubs!! Keep them heads up!! And smile and be proud Warriors!!❤

All dynasties eventually come to an end. The Warriors have a Championship legacy that can't be erased. As a basketball fan first and a Lakers fan second, I understand the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I root for the Warriors as long as they're not playing the Lakers! I've always admired the beauty and ugliness of watching the Lakers beat the Warriors and watching them lose to the Warriors. Step is the greatest shooter in the history of the game but he's more than that. I remember watching him play at Davidson and former Indiana coaching legend Bobby Knight commented while calling one of their games that he's never seen any player that shoots as well as Steph does and passes as well as Steph does. He was right!

"They dominated us physically" Well, Kerr, what did you do this season to prepare your guys for this? Answer...nothing!

Coach Brown did a great job! Kings have a bright future ahead of them...this is just a start. End of an Era for Dubs....

First, I want to thank the Warriors for a most enjoyable season. I know the entire Warriors' organization put in a huge amount of work. Second, I want to congratulate the Kings and Mike Brown on their victory and wish them well as they continue on this year's path. I'm interested in seeing how they do against the Pelicans. Now, although I didn't see the Kings' victory against Portland, I did see a couple of their previous games, and Kings didn't look anything(other than Sabonis and Fox, and maybe Allen. Of course, Barnes has played well against us in the past, and he looks like the best version of himself this year.). I just don't know if we could have won this game-no matter what. I don't see any other team getting the defense that the Warriors get, and I think this knowledge is passed around the league. Not only are teams dogging Steph and Klay, but somehow those teams are able to get back for lobs and drives to the hoop on us-at least Sacramento was. The only thing I might point out, since we did so much experimenting with lineups, some out of necessity, is when we have a different lineup from what we are used to, there is a period of adjustment which puts us back on our heels or causes a bit of hesitation, which might mean we become passive a bit. This might put us in a disadvantage to teams with mostly a set lineup. I thought the coaching was very creative, almost like a work of art at times. The only thing I would say is to not try and impose what they think is true too much, as I believe, just like the meaning of 20-point leads disappeared this year, I think the future of playoffs might be changing from the old ideas(e.g. cutting down the players playing in the playoffs. This old idea doesn't fit the Warriors, especially due to our roster situation.). Our whole organization, after some well-deserved rest and relaxation, has their work cut out for them. Klay, you shoot better when you are relaxed. I want to thank Moses and Looney for staying ready, and Draymond for what he does, especially on defense. Steph, I don't know how you do what you do, considering you always have a defender right next to you, and everyone else on their defense aimed at you. I'm still going with Klay fantastic! Thank you Warriors, and if I don't mention your name, it's because I don't want to mess with where you are at basketball-wise. Go Wiggs and Kuminga, and a special thanks to Chris Paul. If we could give CP3 a set second squad, I think we would see a huge difference in our bensch, which already was outstanding.

As warriors fan, I just don't believe in the warriors anymore. They traded every good role player away and don"t have any Bigs. And also, why do you let klay start again if you won almost every game with him coming off the bench????

Wiggins, when he decides to be aggressive & play well & be willful can change the outcome of any game. This season & last something serious going on in his personal life has affected his conditioning, his play, his focus, his will to win. Kerr & Steph should sit down with him during the post season & get to the bottom of this & what to do about it if that's still possible.

Lesson learned is to win regular season games not to end up in play-in. Hope 2025 will be better year.

The moment Mike Brown left GSW the team broke. He was the engine of the coaching staff. I felt it and called the outcome and have not been wrong.

Damn u fast af bro 😂

Steve... I'm sorry but we cannot just roll it back again next year. The West will be even much more competitive next year. Houston, Memphis, San Antonio, and Utah will be better. There needs to be a certified bucket getter on the roster!

Green being suspended nearly half of the first half of the season didn't help the warriors

The only answer is to get another star to pair with Steph. He's been carrying this team most of the season. He just need a consistent help, they can't count on one man every night

Tough to speak after a loss like this. Kudos to Dray and Steph

You all should take a pay cut. That mess was bad coaching, bad strategy, no continuity and abysmal. Please take a vacation.

Wiggins’s is abysmal he is no where near as good as he should be trade him and Klay for someone consistent possibly a good big

Kudos to Podjemski, what a year!

At beginning of the season, you already had an issue and you never fixed it. Now you suffered the consequences. From Golden to Copper State Warriors. Go home Warriors, it’s a wrap!!!

Flight's reaction is going to be a site to behold

I haven't heard Kerr blame himself one time. It is 80% on kerr. Draymond suspended 25 games. Klay playing 32 minutes when he's washed af. Changing rotations because you want to be cute? Get rid of him

Just add some size and give Steph a consistent help, like a consistent 20 ppg guy

Onestly, Klay has earned the right of having a tough year. He won an NBA Championship After a two years absence for injury. If I see him on the court smoking a Cuban cigar I would have nothing to say

I am so sad. My wife and I watched only Golden State. and now, there's no reason to watch NBA till the championship. See you next season.

Its so sad that Kuminga and Moody arent ready to contribute in their 3rd year because Kerr actively chose not to develop them. Imagine trying your best to play non NBA players like Cory Joseph, Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. Players need to play to get better Steve, cant believe you dont know that as a NBA coach. Not only that, the writing has been on the wall for Klay since he came back. He wasnt good in the 22' playoffs, but the win masked it. He was terrible last year's playoffs, but Poole got blamed. He has been ok at best in the regular season and a shot chucker most of the time. Nothing here says he deserves 40mil and a starting position, yet good ole Kerr sells out for him every time. Thank god Paul and Klay are coming off that 70 mil next year. Hopefully Kerr can get bullied into playing Moody more like he did with Kuminga. I dont even think Klay should retire, just become a role player off the bench, thats the only time he has looked good these past 3 years.

Kerr needs to rethink his coaching strategies and counter strategies to develop versatile strategies. And to think about his reaction time when things aren't falling into place in a game. This game and a handful of others should show him and the players what to expect, how to counter. And all the players should be instructed to come conditioned & physically ready into the season. Maybe they can use the draft to get a two-way wing who can defend well & accurately shoot & another big who can defend & shoot accurately, both of which have a never-give-up attitude.

5 months without watching the NBA is going to be hard

Kerr is done.. Let's began the new era to Warriors. I think is more possible.

After boat trip klay and Paul end up 3+0 with all water spirit unbelievable

Poole is laughing his ass off rn

Retaining CP3 for next year base on His Salary even 50% of it is ridiculous, instead gave that amount of money to a legit Center.

I don’t know what Klay does in the offseason but he needs to workout with Curry! All summer!

Moody better than klay this game but why not used him more 😢

Why are the Dubs acting surprised that they lost? They have to know their game pails in comparison to most of the other teams. Hope they fix their issues

Like what I said before, kerr is the problem, with that kind of coaching they will not win a championship again. Early of this season it was very clear that the warriors will not reach the playoff. He so stubborn of not getting a legitimate center.

Get a good big that can score, rebound, and defend. It is time the Warriors grow up and change with the rest of the league

Curry's conviction and belief to win the play-in was nowhere to be seen in his game. The Warriors legency is now a thing of the past. Klay Thompson was nowhere to be seen, he will never be the same again. Time to say goodbye to a dynasty and start a new one.

Steven Kerr, Wiggins, Klay, beging the issues at the beginning, and till the end. Don't change it, nothing got better

Blow that team up the odds on Green smacking players for 2024-2025 season, one in a millions, run it back.

ONE CLASSY COACH/PLAYER. HE CAN STILL STACK MORE RINGS, EVEN WHEN THE CORE IS BROKEN UP. AGE IS THE NEMESIS OF TOP NOTCH ATHLETES.

I'm a Lakers fan, every great team has a time in which their run ends is normal you can't win forever, they have great moments great championships, still have some pieces, Steph still a top player it's just make some adjustments and keep trying next year, good luck Warriors

im a gsw fan, but i said to my friends even still half of the total games played, were not gonna make it on this type of plays. so not gonna lie, im not hurt coz i expected this.

Kerr said it so right - there hasn't been the same flow as the older dynasty days, been highly dependent for Steph to go god-mode, but he's only human.

Good run for the warriors! Everything comes to an end

The Golden State Warriors faced a mix of challenges during the 2023-2024 NBA season, which impacted their overall success Injuries: The team dealt with significant injuries to key players. Andrew Wiggins was affected, and his absence impacted their performance. Additionally, injuries to other players disrupted the team’s rhythm and consistency Internal Issues: Draymond Green’s behavior led to retirement rumors and added to the team’s setbacks. Maintaining a positive team dynamic is crucial for success, and internal conflicts can affect on-court performance Consistency: While the Warriors had moments of brilliance, they struggled with consistency throughout the season. Maintaining a high level of play over an extended period proved challenging2. Despite these obstacles, the Warriors remained motivated to finish the regular season strongly and potentially improve their position in the standings. Their offensive prowess, led by Stephen Curry, remained a key factor, but they needed consistent contributions from the entire team to achieve significant results.

Hey Folks. I actually watched Clay play in college. He struggled some but put in the work to become a great shooter. Maybe Clay needs to get back in lab and continue to work on his entire game. Other great players have had struggles and bounced back. People love you when things are going well but criticize you when things don’t go your way. It’s apart of it. GS will be back.

Kerr is one of the best coaches in the league. If not the best & I'm not a Warrior fan. You can't win it all every year, that just isn't realistic. I think the age of the core really shined through tonight & MB had a good scheme defensively to take Steph out the game & unfortunately Klay never made them pay which could have helped get Steph loose a bit more.

Some good things come to an end

Seems like everyone was checked out. Kerr and Curry focusing on the Olympics. Klay just wants to hit the water. Wiggs will post a vacay pic within a week. Writing was on the wall at the moment jokic hit the half court buzzer beater.

Its will be game 2?

kerr is not reading player productively on the court if you're not producing....NEXT MAN UP!!

Kerr set. In his ways

It's impossible to be a dominate team year after year, there will be a new champion this year and on to the next. Kerr can't be the blame for how the team plays but now on to next season and good luck boys

Objectively should have expected this result. (1) league has gotten longer and more athletic over last several years, AND gotten used to guarding the split action and almost everything the Warriors run, since everybody runs the same stuff (2) Every Warrior vet has lost a step or 2 or 3, except Steph and maybe Dray. Aggregate play making/ shot creation outside of Steph is way down, so allows every team in the league to literally just chase Steph with 2 guys all game and just live/die with the results. Or teams with rim protection just leave the 2 non-shooters and bum rush Steph off the line, funnel him in to rim protection. Klay clearly has limitations in leg that make him unreliable shooter and unreliable defender. Loon wasn’t playing much this season, because his hip mobility/ pain are only getting worse all year. Would not be shocked if he has off season surgery. He’s 9 years out from double hip surgeries for labrum tears and that only gets worse with time, not better. Wiggs showed flashes, towards end of this season, of the 2022 Wiggs, but we’ve not consistently seen that guy since 2022 championship run. GP2 was injured again and missed the game. He’s great but pretty injury prone. The infusion of youth that can actually play was great, but warriors will likely trade Kuminga with some other players for some quality size. Looking back on the 2021-22 championship, it’s a miracle that lineup won a chip and beat the Celtics. They won on Steph, better skills and better IQ, against teams with overall much better athleticism and talent.

Let's keep be defending champions true mentality

Fitting end to a tumultuous season.

Can't believe we have kerr for two more years. Kept pushing the issue with Wigs and klay who weren't on tonight. Literally ran out of ideas and kept doing the same things. Just so sad to watch

if theydve taken halliburton instead of wiseman theyd be on an entirely different timeline do u keep him or trade him for sabonis?

The W’s have great young players and it’s time to hand them the baton. They won’t win a chip next year, but they’re a good group.

Get stronger next season i miss this team in playoffs

SAC can be quoted after the game, "That one right there made me the greatest of all time"

I know the dubs won't of get through the playing cause they lock of a true big defensive player hope they get Kai soro for next season garuba or uruba as well off the bench

We As Warriors Fan , we can't point the finger at any one the Coach or player because it's not Fair to them they gave there all for a whole year and now we're down to l everyone just talking.. if you have a season ticket please don't give up we'll be back next year and now it's not on the players are the coaches... to put the money out for a center that's what we need and that's what we are looking for to be talking about , so Owner what are you going to do.. My Love 💓 Happiness.. I'm going to go forward with my guys..

Warriors 2025 Champions

Sucks my Dubs lost give credit to Sacramento warriors got a lot of connections on that team so I’ll be interested to see how far you guys can go hopefully y’all can get Monk back and make a run

If Klay is back then it is about just keeping the team together because they aren’t winning anything with this core at this point in their careers

Cmon, 30 said it best coming from a true champion, ‘U can’t always win’ unfortunately we’ve had a bad season but this is my Golden State Warriors nd there’s gonna be tweaks we go again in the offseason, put the work in nd ‘They don’t wanna see us next year.’ The league is on notice from here 😌😮‍💨🤨

Great run, Draymond f'd up the juju

Warriors successful the second half of the season because they found the right player chemistry, Trace presented danger down low, extension and this open up the court up top for everyone else, even for Dray and much more for Klay. Stepping away from this was illogical. So disappointing with Kerr. Klay is not good at creating shots, but is amazing at catch and shoot or lob. Trace had cold feet but can't blame him, with time in the game he would have destroyed Sabonus and opened up our shooters that needed much of that. They were being swarmed by multiple players up top when they had the ball because the inside lob was never there. This game was so painful to watch. Hope Steph can give us another year of basketball magic, that is all I am hoping for now.

Steve Kerr needs to be fired, klay has been playing good coming off the bench but you decide to start him tn ??

Until the Warriors get the players like they had in the championship years they're not going to be able to win they're not going to be able to feel or understand that was going on now and if they don't change like was how everything is changing in the NBA and they don't have to use that it's going to dominate or they not getting a center a two-way Center a defensive player a shooter all players that's going to come out and execute to perfection

They're brother man.❤

I loved this years team tbh. We just couldn’t get it in time. And don’t forget no GPII really hurt us because he’s our guard stopper tbh. I can see no more Dario, and possibly trading CP or Wiggs or both and signing Klay to a cheaper contract. But next season I can see a big emphasis on the next generation with BP, Moody, JK and Trayce

Why did Kerr get a new contract? What did he do??

Playoffs not the same without my Warriors!! End of season for me … playoffs not worth watching now without my Warriors!!! Full stop!!!!!

Crazy Head Coach He know clay and wigs did not play well moody and kuminga is so good.

I was kinda taken aback to hear you admit that Dubs are "pretty" small.

Ain’t it crazy Klay played 77 Games this year Averaged 18 pts and shot 39% from 3 on 9 ATTEMPTS and not great on the perimeter anymore but good at guarding bigger players & ppl say he “needs to Retire” lmao That’s just a Testiment on how good Klay has been his entire career, Every team in the League would die for that stat line and that player lmao 😂😂😂😂

Draymond must go keep Klay in the 6th man role unload Wiggins he’s been laying eggs since they won Chip last year. The got rid of Wiseman too soon and nobody else can help Curry when he’s not on. Also look at replacing Kerr. The physicality shouldn’t be surprise to the team.

Kerr needs to enrol in coaches camp for the poor coaches who rely on gut, luck, and favorites.

The future starts with getting a big, playing Moody more, firing Kerr, and signing Klay but he will come off bench along with Wiggins.

Klay's history 🎉

"You can't find these highs and lows anywhere else." You obviously haven't tried Fanduel or Draftkings Steve. Bum ass Klay Thompson, "Nobody can do what we do." I'm pretty sure I could score zero in an NBA game.

Come on Klay! Let's have a "Last Dance"!

Even Kerr doesn't believe what he last said, nobody wants Klay Thompson back.

Steve Kerr is the Dad of the golden state warriors

Steve Kerr should have been fired four seasons ago. I saw this coming a long time ago. The one part of the court the warriors defended well is the wing for a long time. The Kings went scorched earth on us from the wing tonight. They absolutely humiliated us from the wing. Everyone got cooked. Steph Clay Draymond of course Wiggins with his weak ass. Moses Moody gambled near the wing and got roasted at least three times. I'm done. Trade the whole team and start drafting good again.

How many different lines did Kerr throw out there

The Splash Era is DONE...Its the end of an Era.Draymond & Klay should retire or move on.Steph Curry needs to seriously consider his options at this juncture late in his career and his legacy

Brother Steph 💥

I will say 1 thing, firstly PUT MOOODY IN NEXT TIME! Now that I have calmed down just trade the young guns, get established role players and build around steph. Keep dray cuz of the chemistry, give klay a pay cut and put bro low in the rotation and minimise his role to a 20 min per game catch and shoot player

This game was unexpected

Happy Cancun day for the warriors😂

The three greedy amigos.
