He trusted himself too much on that last play.

Naw, Steph needs blame as well.


Yeah, even with the turnovers we might still win.

3 guards were getting cooked all game. When we played bigs abd wings, we were winning.

Then a big rebound missed late in the gane because we have cp3, klay, and steph unable to corrale it. What was cp3's role in the 4th? He won't shoot. Never brought the ball up. Kerr had him in for defense abd rebounding. Think about that.

This is why keeping cp3 on the team is malpractice. He should’ve been traded at the deadline at all costs

Cp literally can’t even bring the ball up the court anymore. He doesn’t shoot. He doesn’t rebound. He’s a terrible help defender. Like what is the purpose of him being on the court?

It's on Kerr for playing him. Podz and cp3 playing more minutes than tjd and even moody is coaching malpractice. Meritocracy?

33 pts but Steph just look gassed and lacks of focus. 7 TOs along with many bone headed plays. Maybe age or maybe a combination of his extracurricular activities. No one dares to say it but we are just a projection of 23-24 Steph. Still great at times, but more often than not just inconsistent.

People is funny talking about 1st round matchup.

Being 9/10 is like you are down 2-3 in a series, 1 loss and you are out Do you talk about next round’s matchup if you are down 2-3? People just don’t realize how bad the situation is at 9/10.

Last games Warriors should beat Jazz and Kings should be Blazers. Kings have tiebreaker over Warriors.
Suns should beat Kings tonight.
Suns have tie breaker over Pelicans so Pelicans should beat Lakers to keep the 6th seed.

Kings 8, Warriors 9, Lakers 10. Warriors must beat Lakers and the refs in SF. Chase center fans better put down their Iphones and boo the refs when the refs try to cheat us to get LeBron into the playoffs.

Suns play Twolves with the same start time as Pelicans play Lakers which is good for us because Pelicans lose their incentive to beat Lakers if the Twolves have already beaten the Suns.

What the hell, I wanted an easier path but knocking LeBron out of the playoffs will be nice if the refs allow that to happen. Chase center fans could make a difference by putting pressure on the refs to not cheat. Chase center is too quiet.

Suns did beat Kings.

Sure but we know Kerr is going to play the vets when the chips are down because the vets run the locker room. That’s already a given, which is why it’s the front offices job to remove that option especially since they decided to extend Kerr.

He is trying to do too much because he don't trust his teammates.

Why doesn't he though? Warriors made that final run with him sitting on the bench.
Because Kerr refused to be the coach. Plenty of chances during the season to get Steph acclimated with different combinations. Steve was too busy coddling egos. Since he didn’t get the results it was a failure.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

At this stage of the game in 2014, Klay and Barnes were regulars in the rotation. That is where Moody should be now. Podz is getting more minutes.

CP3 made sense to me as a someone who would take up minutes while Steph rested. If CP3 isn't doing that then he isn't fulfilling the most attractive selling point.

Moody not even being an option is what’s crazy to me. Cp being off the ball on defense and offense isn’t using him in any good capacity and just putting him in a position to fail. But Kerr doesn’t want to upset the vets and is just playing them until they retire. That was the only good thing about jk coming in the starting lineup. It made sure cp wasn’t closing. Now that that door is closed and cp is closing again it’s nothing but down hill from here.

Overall having CP3 has helped some. Better than Poole. Better than Chiozza.

We should have traded CP3 and Draft picks and Moody for DeJounte Murray. Hawks played games pretending to want to trade Murray. Hawks would only trade Murray if they could cheat the other team by getting them to overpay for Murray. We should have let the Hawks cheat us and overpaid for Murray. We have no future after Curry retires so who cares if we give the Hawks some draft picks.

No. The team should win with these pieces if they are deployed more optimally.

Sunday is about home court vs the Lakers in the play in. Refs will be trying to keep LeBron in the playoffs. We need our fans to embarrass the refs when they make bad calls to help the Lakers. We need our fans to make everybody notice when the refs make bad calls to rig the game. Our fans must make the refs feel uncomfortable about rigging the game. I think our fat cat fans are too laid back to do their job of giving the res sh’t.

We are going to lose the play in game because the refs send LeBron and Austin Reeves to the free throw line 30 times while giving the Warriors no calls.

No this is not Kerr’s fault. Our young guys are not as good as many think they are. Our old guys are declining. Our team is not good enough.
