Timberwolves vs Warriors - Game 4 - Do or Die

[cpower]

Yeah this one isn't on Kerr. No matter what he does with this line up, Wolves are just much better than us without Steph.

he should at least give Spencer Moody Santos a shot. Looney has been better but barely played in 2nd half.. he pushes all the wrong buttons this game

[dshearn]

Tough luck guys, if Steph is healthy, I'm picking you all over the Wolves. But yeah, this is exactly what you can expect from Jimmy; we've seen it over the past 3 years.

yeah it is completely recognizable...we have seen this several times, but honestly I did not expect it....not after the fuss he made to get a new team....with all his talk since he got to SF...I really did not expect this side of his personality to surface so soon into his tenure with GS.

[Old_Blue]

I really have to stop watching games like this one tonight. It's like watching a David Lynch film. Two hours at the intersection of deranged and obscene is too much for the mind to handle.

[WarriorGM]

Gee look at that put Spencer and Santos in and they are +5. There are risky moves with no upside and there are risky moves with upside. Kerr loves the former.

[powerball1373]

Blaming Kerr again I see.

Going small here was required. Its like empty net in hockey. Its very unlikely to work. But its more likely to work than the alternatives.

It was the right thing to do; they were just doomed regardless.

So annoying when fans try to blame the coach. It's rarely the coaches fault unless they make a REALLY bad decision (i.e., Daigneault fouling strategy at the end of G1 of Den-OKC). The fact that the Warriors almost won Game 3 and were leading at the half this game is more of a testament to Kerr's game plan than anything.

What's annoying is when you see Kerr doing losing moves that have a history of losing and people rush in to defend him.

What don't you get about the part that there were NO WINNING MOVES without Steph? The fact you think you know more about coaching than Kerr is hilarious.

yeah he loves to play TJD who is probably the worst player in the entire league by all the metrics.. what could have gone wrong

Lmao are you really looking at +/- during garbage time when the other team is playing half-azzed and Ant is throwing up running hook shots off the wrong foot? And using that as a basis for your wrong opinion?

What are you saying? That he quit?

I dont think so. This is just his ability level now. Hes 35. What did you expect?

[floppymoose]

Wow that Santos/Post fast break and follow attempt was pretty intense.

Baloney! There have been multiple instances in all the games where the Warriors had lineups that had more plus points than minutes played. But Kerr doesn't go back to them!

Yeah I don't think he quit or is unhappy at all. I'm hoping he's still hurt from the Rockets fall, bc otherwise, it would mean he's kinda washed and only capable of bringing it once or twice a series.

well i would have to disagree. Last game Podz was 1/10 if someone else made 2 baskets we would have won. Some Moody mins might have helped.

Just because something works for a few minutes doesn't mean it's sustainable lol. Must be nice to process information in such a simple manner.

Maybe you're not used to seeing the Death Line come up from nowhere to dominate. Or Draymond Green or Gary Payton II come up the ranks because the lineups they're in kept ending up positive. But I have and it was obvious in those instances they needed more minutes. If you keep playing losing lineups expect to lose.

Yeah, easy for you to say after the fact, but let's not act like you wouldn't have crucified Kerr if he tried Moody and he put up another 0-fer.

[ILOVEIT]

Podz is garbage. Wholly crap. All year long he'd go through god awful stretches where he couldn't shoot (shooting guard...ahem) and then he would have 5 good games and we'd all forget.
The GUY IS NOT A RELIABLE SHOOTER. His stroke is a flick at the rim with hopes of going in. He doesn't square up on his release.

Please lord...no more "yeah but he does other things well". HE'S SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO SHOOT THE ROCK!!!!

Keep playing winning lineups and you might actually find winners that last.

First of all, I was living in SF during the Warriors first championship run, so I'm very familiar with the death lineup. Second, are you seriously comparing the death lineup to what's currently available on the roster???

Most of these guys wouldn't even be the 12th man on those Warriors teams. Death lineup lmfao.

you have to give other players a chance.. Podz is 1/10 and played 40 mins.. think about that. He is not Kobe or Curry, he is just a 2nd year bum. Kerr lost his touch in this series
