No it wasn't, but it's still a sign of a sputtering offense, been haunting us all series.

In Miami, those drives under the basket by Butler would lead to an open 3 in the corner, in GS nobody is in that corner.

It's depressing that Podz' 2-8 shooting is an improvement.

Podz passing up an open 3 for a Draymond 3 smfh. I don't mind if he misses but if he's gonna be scared to shoot it, he needs to sit.

Green 3 airball, well-oiled offense machine.

Players don't get that if you don't take the open shot, the defense can cheat off you some so they can pressure the rest of the team (I'm sure they're told this on a regular basis and then just ignore it on the court), Podz has to take open 3, good lord he had Gobert out there meaning no Gobert near the basket to stop an offensive rebound.

Warriors don't really have guys you can just give the ball and they create. The offense is predicated on player and ball movement, getting open shots.

I've never witnessed a player this bad on offense and defense getting so many minutes. Is Kerr his secret dad or something?

The whole vibe of the team changes (for the better) when Podz is off the court! When Podz is on the court they play like a scared team + tossing grenades.
