The Warriors' dynasty is hanging on by a thread - and Jusuf Nurkic couldn't be happier.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors' season ended with a whimper on Tuesday evening after a 118-94 blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament.

The franchise has a ton of questions moving forward, including the future of splash-brother Klay Thompson.

Elsewhere, loudmouth leader Draymond Green faces an extended offseason reflecting on what went wrong.

Phoenix center Nurkic revelled in the Warriors' demise and posted an epic troll job to nemesis Green.

After the Dubs' loss was confirmed, the Bosnian big man shared a gif of the famous Looney Tunes' signature closing sequence, 'That's All Folks!'

Shortly after he posted two crying laughter emojis.

If Nurkic intended to wind up an entire fanbase, he managed to do just that.

Heated fans defended Green in the comments, highlighting his impressive Hall of Fame-worthy resume compared to Nurkic's.

"Ur a joke bro, DRAYMOND lives rent free in your head for real," one fan said.

"RENT FREE + YOU HAVE NO ACCOLADES BUDDY," added another.

"JUSUF NURKIC ACCOLADES: Nothing," a third posted.

"You're the last person who should be tweeting," wrote a fourth.

The pair have been been going at it since December when Green elbowed Nurkic during a game, earning him an indefinite suspension which would ultimately last 16 games.

After that game, Nurkic questioned Green, who was coming off another incident with Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert, over his antics.

“What’s going on with him? I don’t know,” Nurkic told reporters at the time.

“Personally, I feel like that brother need(s) help. I’m glad he didn’t try to choke me. At the same time, it had nothing to do with basketball, man.

“Hopefully, whatever he got in his life gets better.”

The beef came to a head in February during a game between the Suns and Warriors.

The pair traded 'too small' gestures after scoring on each other while also committing hard fouls.

After the game, Nurkic took a shot at Green saying he hadn't learned his lesson while Green replied that, "quiet guys [like Nurkić] don't win."

"I mean it's sad. He didn't learn anything," Nurkic said.

"Just matter of time, he's gonna knock somebody else again. I take everything back, what I said. He don't deserve a chance. ... His antics. Try to hit people. Just stuff he shouldn't do."

Days later, Green hopped on his podcast to respond to Nurkic while going at former teammate Kevin Durant for suggesting he needs help.

“Guys are making a habit out of that. Him and Kevin questioning my character before, as if you’re going to question somebody’s character by the basketball game as if it’s not real life,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show.

“As if that don’t affect people’s pockets. Like, I think all of it was really cowardly if you want my honest opinion.

“If you want to know the truth about that, I think all of it was really cowardly. … I think they all wack, both of them if you want my honest opinion.”

Not long after Green's comments went viral, Nurkic responded on X, writing: "All good bad boy just don’t stay (too) long on podcast, gonna be late for therapy session."

Green then used Nurkic's response as a chance to promote his latest podcast.

"Tap IN! Spoke in depth about the 300 pound softy that can't finish games. Enjoy. #TheNewMedia," he wrote with a link to the episode.

We'll see if Draymond responds to Nurkic's latest troll job.
