In a playoffs filled with bad omens, Dubs fans pointed to the Pelosi post as a death knell for Golden State, which dropped Game 1 120-108 in San Francisco despite taking a 12-point lead into the fourth quarter.
For many, the Twitter post conjured memories of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz posting a photo of himself courtside in a Rockets t-shirt just before tipoff of Game 7 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals between the Dubs and Rockets in Houston, an eventual 101-92 Dubs win.
"You jinxed it. Stop," pleaded one fan.
