Okay, so, let me just ramble a bit about last night’s Warriors game. If you haven’t heard, they were up against the Spurs. And the Spurs, let me remind you, had zilch on the line. But, somehow, the Warriors managed to lose it in what’s becoming a weirdly repetitive storyline for them this season.
Picture this: the buzzer’s about to go, and Harrison Barnes, yes, that guy, nails a fadeaway 3-pointer. The crowd goes wild, but not in the way you’d think. It was like watching a movie when you know the hero’s about to slip on a banana peel. Painful, yet somehow totally expected.
Chris Broussard, you know him, right? He didn’t cut them any slack. I mean, he’s on FOX Sports blowing things up as usual. He’s like, “This loss was terrible, really terrible.” Which, same, Chris, same.
I think he brought up something about the Warriors losing to Miami before, another painful loss. And let’s be real, this is the story of their season. It’s like they see a lead and think, “Nah, we’re good without it.” San Antonio came in having lost eight of nine games. Eight. And Warriors just hand ’em a win on a silver platter. Crazy stuff.
Oh, and there was a Twitter bit thrown in there, with Broussard doing his breakdown thing, broadcasting it to the whole Twitterverse. Nice touch, social media, never misses a chance.
So, these Warriors, they were ahead by 14 points in the first. Huge lead, right? But then it all went downhill. San Antonio didn’t really have anything to gain, yet they didn’t back down. So, what was supposed to be an easy cruise turned into this wild rollercoaster ride. Who saw that coming? Everyone. That’s who.
Steph Curry was cookin’ up those buckets, dropping 30, while Jimmy Butler wasn’t far behind with 28. But sadly, all those points couldn’t solve the Warriors’ pattern of late-game disappearing acts. It’s like they have this invisible switch they just can’t turn off.
And Broussard’s chat didn’t stop there. He tossed out some concerns about their playoff hopes, pointing to games against teams like the Timberwolves and the Mavericks. Stuff’s starting to look shaky, really. Even if they squeeze through the play-ins somehow, can we talk about how tired these guys must be? I mean, Draymond, Curry, Butler—these aren’t spring chickens.
So… what’s next? Apparently, Brian Windhorst has opinions too (of course he does), saying the Warriors are “flawed.” But, hey, isn’t that just how the cookie crumbles with them this season? Anyway, I’ll leave it there before I spiral into another tangent. Cheers!
