Why does it feel like this Warriors team has to make everything as difficult as possible? A few weeks ago they had chances to be the 5, 4, or even 3 seed and they just couldn't pull out wins when they needed them, even against really bad teams like SA without Wemby.

Well anyway, not much else to be said. Put up or shut up. Go big or go home. Etc.


I don't think being any of the other seeds would've actually helped lol. The Rockets might be the only beatable Western Conference team the Warriors could've drawn, other than Memphis.

Now Kerr saying GP2 is "sick as a dog," and won't play. The mysterious disappearance of GP2 happens yet again. Maybe they can do a documentary on how and why this keeps happening.

Now, that means (of course), choose your poison: more JK minutes or more Buddy minutes. OMG! Brutal.

It's Steph & Jimmy against the WORLD!!!! Love this two-man roster.

I don't get it. Some of you guys cry when GP2 plays too much, now you're upset bc he's out? Pick a lane lol.

Podz +11.31
Moody +9.29
Butler +1.46

Happy that he’s out. Just not his series.

Was good when Jimmy was out but Jimmy is playing. Can’t play Jimmy, gp, and dray together and now Kerr can’t do it. Love it.

Overall worried with how Steph's thumb has been hampering him, and the role players not stepping up.

He had that great game with Jimmy out, but other than that it's been rough. The Rockets also scrapped that gameplan where GPII was effective. Could end up being a blessing in disguise with GPII being sick.

We really need Buddy, Moody, and Podz to play well. 1 if not 2 needs to shoot well to beat the zone. Buddy gets the start tonight while shooting 29% from 3 for the series. I wish we were starting Moses.

I agree with your earlier comment that Butler needs to be more aggressive, but they were often having a rim protector sag off one of our less threatening guys (e.g. Draymond) and then Jimmy would suddenly have a double as he gets close to the basket. Really need the role players to step up so when Jimmy passes out the Rockets pay.

That’s why there needs to be shooting around Jimmy. Dray and gp aren’t shooters, which means there’s 3 guys you can just leave open which makes switching and passing players off much easier. Hopefully we play spacing or size. Really curious how Steve chooses to combat the double big lineup.

Buddy gets the start. Hope I’m wrong but I think it’s already over.

We really need consistent scoring from both Hield and Podz in this.

Jimmy needs to rebound the **** ball and lock in on defense.
