Just rest Curry tomorrow and get his back right.

Games like this isn't doing anybody any good.

these new lineups are messing up the team mojo.. i dont know what Steve Kerr can do if we keeps losing. Kuminga is not playing bad but we had a good flow and its no longer there. Tough decision have to be made.

I don't think JK was a negative at all today. Curry had one of the worst games he's had in a long-ass time. That's why we lost. He kept shooting and missing and he kept turning it over. Likely injury-related but I honestly think we win this game if we'd sat Curry.

Well that sucks! Warriors were probably due for a stinker. Huge game by Aaron Gordon. Russ can still pass the ball.

But no ground given up to Minny - dodged a bullet.

Get ready for even worse rotations starting tomorrow. 12 guys who deserve playing time means it’s back to cyo basketball. Everyone gets playing time and no one gets into a rhythm. Can’t wait

we are starting to turn the ball over because we no longer making that single pass...we are thinking JK has the advantage and we are trying to force the issue. This is exactly what we dont want to see. those lineups destroy our spacing too , just see how ineffective Moody is tonight. Again it's one game but lets keep monitoring. If Moody and Buddy makes no threes this team is toast.

Minny has an easier schedule though. Hopefully we get the win tomorrow.

Yeah....that was so weird to seem him just flinging bad passes.

But let's give Denver credit. The cuts to the basket were barely open and Draymond and other's kept forcing passes where they were not open. Denver is ultra long and athletic.

Tough game, but Denver, especially because Joker was out, matched up super well with Warriors.

What? Its just stupid turnovers…passes over full court…it has nothing to Kuminga. Careless play after careless play

Agree to disagree I guess. I thought JK actually somewhat fueled some of our briefly successful attempts. It just wasn't our game and I still feel quite good about JK's bench role on this team.

LOL at people trying to blame this loss on Kuminga (predictable though). I've been critical of Kerr at times but this wasn't his fault either. For whatever reason, Steph just did not show up tonight, that's why they lost. Jimmy and GP2 showed up to play, Draymond at times, but everyone else was sleepwalking and made way too many mistakes.

Was surprised to see Denver only shot 47% for the game because it sure felt like 75%. The one thing Steph did do well was hit all his free throws. The rest of the team was 11-23 from the line (47.8%).

I have no idea what some poster here watched tonight but it wasn't the game. I was in the house and Steph, Dray, Moody, Buddy and Post provided nearly nothing of impact tonight.

Blaming Kerr or Jk for this game is crazy. The only players who brought it tonight were GP2, Jimmy and JK.

Who knows how things go if Curry doesn't throw that terrible lob attempt to Jk.

forfeit the game then. if you can not do anything to stop "gordon drain 3s and bully his way to the rim" then don't bother to show up.

My point is that if Gordon has a game, Kerr is not responsible.

I'm not sure what your point is.


so when a player is having a game you just let him cooking all night long without even trying to force the ball out of his hands. the CS just show up to games to sit and watch. the logic is flawless.

the issue is he should just play the GPII role. nothing more. whatever GPII does, he should do the same. the moment he does (or tries to do) something more or something different, the issue.

JK was one of the only players playing with force out there. He was a huge part of the late surge and they aren't even close without him.

And JK took a few iso plays because Steph and Draymond looked old and slow tonight....they were terrible.

Tonight was a game where the team looked old and slow. The lack of athleticism may still be their biggest shortcoming and Gui, Post, Buddy, Moody provided nothing tonight.
