[Lowlights] Brandin Podziemski feeds the Utah Jazz crowd with a chicken - TWICE, missing both free throws in two different occasions in the 4th quarter
the warriors really thought a package of this guy and draymond green was too much for lauri markkanen
existential ass situation to be in for warriors fans lmao
They did have a couple of nice years, being a dynasty must have been fun.
prime warriors was some of the most fun hoops to watch
“Only down 10 going into the 3rd?
Yeah, they’re gonna win.”
Had that thought for years 😆
That third quarter was really something
it felt like watching last year’s Pacers playoffs run, but for whole seasons…
watching Warriors games nowadays is also not very stressful but now it’s because we have no hope or expectations…
Now you get to watch prime Thunder. How lucky are we!
You mean prime Spurs prime Hornets
We are BLESSED
you’re getting sent to hell with downvotes lol but i do agree thunder are pretty fun to watch, their game vs the nuggets was peak regular season ball
This sub hates the Thunder which is to be expected. What with them being BETTER THAN THE SHOWTIME LAKERS AND WARRIORS DYNASTY COMBINED and all.
And, scene.
Still sucks to fumble high draft picks like wiseman or not selling high on young players like Kuminga to help build a better team around curry
Not many dynasties get the opportunity to reload like warriors had between 2020-2023
It’s just what happens. For every dynasty that falls because the superstar has aged out of their prime, there’s a dynasty that falls because of roster mismanagement around a superstar. It’s extremely rare that you get in an organization like the Patriots or the Spurs who sustain basically 20 years of legitimate title contention.
Utah was apparently asking for Kuminga, Moody, Podz, and all of Golden State’s draft picks according to Anthony Slater.
IDK if that would’ve been worth it, though they may have been able to negotiate the number of picks down (as they’d still need one to get Jimmy later on) … 🤔
complete and flat out lie of what was involved in the trade talks lmao. but upvotes are more important than truth i guess
You’d think a Jazz fan would know that’s nowhere near their asking price for Lauri.
How many picks were involved?
No one knows. It was all just rumors. Here’s a Warrior fan discussion about a proposal with 4-ish 1st round picks.
I don’t think Draymond ever entered into the conversation. His salary was a lot higher than Lauri’s at that timeanyway.
I don’t believe that. This ownership has shown zero interest in trading draft capital for a better roster. Even then, that was essentially 2 firsts and a swap
The infuriating part is, and mark my words, they’ll fuck the draft up. Steph will be gone, they’ll have drafted a series of disappointments, and the same fans who are happy to see the team hold onto their picks, will pretend they never did and criticize the team for not getting Steph more help in his final years
That feels like such a negative view to me. You can’t know whether we will hit on picks or not. For me, I liked getting Jimmy instead of Lauri… next year might determine how all-in they are willing to go.
no they didnt. But congrats on your many playoff wins over the last decade
It was a lot more than that bud.
beat rockets lose to the jazz. seems balanced to me.
Beats Denver, loses to the Pelicans. Warriors are about as .500 as it gets without Steph. Which is honestly kind of impressive given who is out there
He’s had good stretch of games other bench guys not so much
unfortunately it’s hard to be good when half your rotation is made of 2-ways
malevy leons was getting absolutely annihilated by kevin love when the two of them were matched up on each other, dude was jumping at love’s pumpfakes like he was steph
He’s been a lolcow for some reason this season but he’s slowly turned that narrative around. Has put up a solid stretch of games since early February.
I know it’s golden state and all but the fact this guy is getting clowned as much as he is on the socials despite just turning 23 is kinda weird.
Name another role player who has said some of the dumb shit he has, and I will be glad to clown that too.
Deandre Ayton easily.
And he’s getting clowned too lol
“They’re trying to make me Clint Capela!” - Deandre Ayton, about a week and a half ago.
and he’s been getting rightfully clowned since
I hadn’t heard that lmao.
He def deserves the clown smoke for that haha.
Michael Porter Jr
I don’t know man. Dude can ball.
Pod gets clowned for saying stuff like he is the next Curry, he is going to headline the Olympic team, and he would be an Otani on the Dodgers.
Saying he WANTS to be better than Curry is not saying he’s the next Curry
Bro. The reporter asked him if he wants to be as great as Curry. This cornball fires back that he wants to be better. It was out of touch, and that is putting it as nicely as possible. If you don’t want to get clowned years later for being a role player, the answer here is “I work as hard as possible to hopefully get to his level one day.” Especially when the all-time great dude you are talking about is still at the top of his game on your team, and you are a fresh face. It’s ridiculous. Of course he gets clowned for it. His own organization clowned him for it.
“Podziemski made a number of comments in the lead-up to the season about his long-term career ambitions,” Slater wrote in the aftermath of the Warriors’ loss to the Thunder. “Including a news conference answer to a question about whether he wanted to be as great as Steph Curry. Podziemski said he ‘wants to be better than him,’ an answer that elicited some eyerolls and continued references from several within the organization.”
This is the biggest nothingburger ever. Saying you wanna be the best as a young player is a good thing. Thats what his goal is supposed to be. Work to be better than the person before. Doesnt mean he thinks he’s better than Steph. Obviously it’s damn near impossible, but that’s the mentality you gotta have. If you set modest goals, best case scenario you achieve modest results
Ever see a dude run his mouth before a fight and then get knocked out right away. He gets clowned for not backing his big mouth up.
same thing, only every person on the planet already knew that Pod was never going to surpass Curry.
Plenty of people in his own building thought he was a dumbass for saying it too. Have that goal but keep it to yourself until you’ve proven something haha.
I’m convinced part of the reason for the amount of folks that pile on this guy is he hustles in a way that reminds them their fav bench warmer/endlessly talented benched player or themselves that they could be getting more minutes or achieved more if they worked hard and listen to coaches.
Agreed, but the ugly truth is that some of it is racism
I dont like him cause he talks big but hes a solid roleplayer
Brickin for Chikin has an amazing ability to hype up any crowd.
Lord knows we love that chicken
Not Brandon Otani himself?!?!
Podz keeping Utah fans healthy, feeding them broccoli with their chicken
Completely unrelated, but do the Sixers still have the chick-fil-a nugget promo? Do I have to check the app to see if it’s available the day after?
I’ve seen enough, send him to the next Olympics
I don’t know how this guy is not in the G league.
feeding his fellow mormons
He’s LDS?
This would be news to me as well lol
Feeding families, that’s a real one
double the 🍗
This is hilarious. He’s so easy to hate lmao.
i’m actually curious if they gave the fans two seperate wins here or if it’s limited to one per night. has this ever happened before? lmao

W PODZ❤️
Steve Kerr is such a terrible coach lmfao
You think better coaching would have helped those free throws?
Kerr supposed to pep talk his guys or some shit before they shoot free throws. Coaches always get blamed when a player messes up.
Better coaching puts pods on the bench where he belongs
who exactly should he be on the bench for? considering half of our roster is injured
This has been going on long before the injuries lmao
