Sometimes they try to force the ball into Draymond on offense, it's not like he is Jokic or Duncan.

Just praying for this to remain competitive into the 4th, where hopefully Jimmy can take it home. So far so good.

Tjd finishing in the lane. Jimmy being aggressive.

Sloppy turnovers. Clean those up and we’re looking good.

Is this just a good matchup for TJD? Why was he so useless leading up to getting pulled from the lineup earlier in the season?

I'm generally a supporter of Kerr's personnel choices, but his jerking around of Kuminga's and TJD's minutes throughout the season leaves me with questions.

If we can remain aggressive on closeouts and force the Wolves to go deep into the shot clock every possession, we have a great chance.

Tjd was struggling to finish all year which is why he got benched.

Draymond's head is not in this game, threw a grenade to GP2.

I'm really hoping Post is playable in this series, but I'm not sure.

He doesn't look he is, he shouldn't be playing unless Butler is on the court looking for him for a 3, he's not good enough defensively.

Guess Kerr didn’t learn this isn’t a post series.

Surprised Kerr went with Post when the game was tied. He rolled that dice last game and it was over quick.
