Game 13 - Good Guys (10-2) @ Microsoft (7-7)

[thunderdunk]

The announcers said that, because it was a concussion protocol, the shooting team got to choose the FT shooter, not the fouling team.

This feels like the game where the poor free throwing could easily bite them in the ass.

9-19 from the freethrow line, smh.

If I'm Kerr, I'm not letting these clowns go home after the game. Have to make 10 FTs in a row before you get to bed. It's pathetic, high school teams can shoot FTs at a better rate than a professional team.

It's an interesting question. Can an NBA coach "embarrass" multi-million dollar professional athletes into improving their FT shooting, without some kind of backlash from the players? Chip winning teams nearly always are great at making FT's. These guys suck at it.

It makes JK, Podz, TJD, and even Wiggs almost impossible to put on the court at the end of games. That said, a missed FT in the 1st quarter counts just as much toward the final score. Playing "hack a Dub" may be an effective way to beat this team, regardless of the time left in the game.

Post game, Kerr seemed to shrug it off, saying that the team has been bad at FT's all year, and they were 10-2 anyway... Not a great answer from the head coach. Bottom line, Dubs need to fix this.

Zubac keeps beating us.

These two losses to the Clippers are EXACTLY what we will see against the Lakers in playoff series. Slow it down, beat Warriors up in the middle, force the Warriors into sloppy forced half court congested passing.

Could care less about the Clippers...but clearly Warriors wont' be nearly as effective against smarter, bigger teams.

Making jk and podz untouchable this past off season is going to be us in the ass.

Which trade would you have made?

I would have done cp3+ jk package for pg. Hes got injury issues for sure, but we also have celebrini and depth (2 things Philly doesn't have).


Initially I was lukewarm on Lauri due to possible defensive issues, but...

With wiggins and loon defending the way they are now and kerr willing to move jk to the 3, I think a steph, wiggs, Lauri, dray, and loon unit would have worked with Melton, hield, slomo, podz, moody, waters, and tjd off the bench.

Or we could have gone small and forced the clippers to adjust. Kerr had the right idea in the 2h, but wrong personnel. Steph, wiggs, dray, and 1 of waters or hield (not both), along with jk or slomo was probably the way to go.
