    A San Francisco Chronicle article by Ann Killion, who covers GSW, was reprinted in the Houston Chronicle today, about OKC's recent blowout of the Warriors.

    Anyone else catch this: Cracks in the Crown?​

    They lost 125-105 to the Thunder for the second time this season, breaking some streaks in the process. The Warriors lost back-to-back games for the first time this season and, also for the first time, lost to a team that had beaten them.
    ​
    No wonder Warriors fans and Kerr pretend to not think about us, they actually suppress the Rockets from their thoughts.

    I guess we didn't beat them twice after all. Lol. Terrible journalism.

    Overworked and underpaid are most writers. Just a lack of research/had likely forgotten at the time of writing it down. Once something is published the writer can't make edits. A writer who writes online hates most things they write and there's nothing they can do about it.

    This was originally written the day after the game. Wouldn't put it past the local broadcast spewed it out too, or otherwise, post-game talk among some media...and Ann Killon just copied their words.

    like, "Well, sucks to lose like this, but it shows how great we are, since it was only the first time all year we lost twice to the same team." :D

    The rings ceremony must've overshadowed their big L

    General sentiment in the field is to ignore the Rockets. Remind me of this classic Stein tweet shortly after the OKC beat GSW:



    Never mind the Rox beat them twice.

    Maybe they think their single win offsets it?

    Everyone associated with the Warriors suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.

    I won't be too worried about this until they start "overlooking" us in the playoffs.

    For now they can pretend to think whatever the f**k they want.

    We're going to have to face them in the WCF, or else the media will forever stick an * on our championship.
