It's funny how one sub-par game can turn all of Twitter against you, but that's just the beauty of the Internets.
The Golden State Warriors were thoroughly beaten by the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup, a second straight loss that puts them in a 2-1 hole. Though the Warriors made a late fourth quarter run to close what was once a 19-point lead down to four, the Grizz simply out-muscled them for much of the game. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph overpowered the Warriors inside, while Tony Allen harassed Klay Thompson, forcing him in to multiple turnovers. But the biggest issue the Warriors had was not being able to hit almost any of their patented 3-pointers, shooting 23.1 percent as a team from deep. Steph Curry was shockingly bad, shooting 2-10 from downtown that culminated in this very sad airball.
While the Warriors were looking like mere mortals, Twitter started counting Golden State out, as if they had finally met their Grizzly-colored Kryptonite. Fresh off one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history, the Warriors have finally hit some adversity. Twitter is there to make it seem about 1,000 times worse than it is. Enjoy!

You can actually see Klay go, "OH NO WHERE IS TONY ALLEN" every time he touches the ball
