As a basketball fan, ask yourself what goals you want this team to achieve? Is any of those goals a stupid win with 2 games remaining in a 23 win season? Anybody? I’m a die hard Warriors fans for 3 decades, and I will tell you my goals: 1) make the playoffs in 2013 2) build a traditional roster with good size and put players at their true positions where they don’t rely too much on athleticsm 3) within 3 years, give me a title contender. Exactly what contribution did last night’s win provide us toward any of those 3 goals? If you just want to see meaningless wins, go to the local parks. The rest of us want to see this team succeed.

Some of you make me sick. Do you understand the meaning of delayed gratifications? Wanting to win last night’s game is the equivalent of boning the shyt out of a dirty hooker knowing when you wake up your model wife will divorce your azz. You’re the type of people who have a few hundred bucks in your saving account because you do not see the big picture, you do not plan for the future, nor care about the consequences of what little fun you have tonight.

#36 Young,

The original was 1-11 protected pick (this coming lotto draft) by the former GM Chris Mullin. Riley reduced this year’s protection 1-7 in order to get into last year’s draft to get Klay Thompson.

A fairly high draft choice to the Warriors is like a tire with some thread to it especially if your other four tires are bald. For gosh sakes, lets not win any more games to give us a chance at something. Get a clue. Step1 of demoting Riley was a good first step.

Somebody please coach the damn team the right way for this season.

If you decide to tank your final games, how can you look in the mirror? Even if they keep one of the 3-7 picks, their chances are slim that they would pick a difference maker. Look at the record over the last 20 years of mediocrity. Let the players learn and keep what pride they have.

Check it out if you are a player in the nba you dont ever want to lose its a business and if you dont play good maybe the next man will…. So why would the warriors lose a game so they can get a better player in the draft and then they lose a spot on the team and lose playing time

The only reason why I want the Warriors to keep their pick this year is because of how deep this draft selection is. Warriors can land one following players if they keep the 7th overall pick: Jeremy Lamb (SG – slide Klay to SF and bench Wright), Jared Sullinger, Tyler Zeller, OR Austin Rivers.

As a fan for over 50 years, I am stunned, the stupidity of the Warriors organization just hit a new low. Why in hell was this win needed??? With no money under the cap for the next 2 years, keeping the draft pick was highly important. Stupid decisions
one after the other, using the amnesty on Bell instead of the 7′ dude was dumb, now this stupid win. The “great” minds running this team are the dumbest in the NBA, I am no more a Warriors fan, I just can’t take it anymore.
