Man, Podz looks lost and scarred kitten on the timeouts. He has no kind of mojo in this series, horrible to see

If it was 30yo Jimmy instead 35yo Jimmy, GSW could have won it.


Yup didn't look like he had the lift on those 3 misses layups.

These are a few good Jk games. Don't expect much next game because Wolves will guard him differently. Jk is bound for a bad game and the other just have to step up.

He was dealing with Gobert's length on a number of those, he wasn't getting those extra high shots to drop. That's where you need your other options to help keep Gobert from just staying near the basket by hitting some outside shots.

Nah, as long as it's just Butler and Kuminga scoring Minnesota's fine, it's all about how to limit the team from scoring, not so much individual players. Someone else has to hit some 3pt shots.

After Draymond fouled out on a horsesht call, at around 1:30 left in 4th is where they lost the game. We were only down 4, we get the ball, Buddy rushes a bad 3, then on defense BP should've been getting the long rebound but of course his dumbazz is under the hoop. Maybe he thought he was gonna out jump Gobert and McDaniels. Then Rudy tips it out for the O reb, Ant drains 3. Game over.

But at least it wasn't a blowout. Not a bad performance when you got your superstar out.

Game 4 is winnable if 3pt shots can start being made.

He's a bum. Warriors need to get a backup PG in FA.

Not overturning that obvious arm extension and charge by Randle on Draymond was hideously crooked. There was no contact between the two BEFORE Randle extended his arm so where was the foul on Draymond? After the forearm. No.

This is needlessly pessimistic. JK played within himself and within the flow of the game so well tonight. Doesn't mean I expect another 30 burger out of him on Monday, but I do expect him to continue playing the right way.

I've always heard when Curry is out Draymond either loses his mind or just does things to get tossed. It kinda seems that way so far the 2 games they've played without Curry. His first TO was playing dodge ball by hitting Butler in the side/back who was just going down court not looking for the ball, a few minutes later he makes another terrible pass for no apparent reason. Game 2 he basically was begging to be tossed.

Tonight should have let everyone know that GS without Curry can play with Minnesota but Draymond needs to not make risky passes and Podz needs to take his regular shots, they'll end up falling but this passing up some open shots isn't helping him. Need to also find a way to get Hield more shots.

Draymond knows he can't contest a layup dunk like he did with 5 fouls.

The issue with Draymond fouling out is he's one of the few players GS can somewhat play through so Butler or Kuminga don't have to have the ball in their hands so much.

Butler has to know he's gotta be ready to take on some PG duties without Steph so I kind of fault Butler for not being aware of the circumstances in that case.

But otherwise, he needs to get his passing in order. Especially throwing lobs in the low post to Butler or Kuminga. Those aren't easy passes. The timing has to be perfect and he's not accustomed to throwing those sorts of passes.

Butler went to get the ball a ton but he had other players bring down the ball which wasn't an issue, it allowed him to rest some during his 43 minutes tonight. Missing that over-the-top lob layup from Draymond was a bad miss by Butler.

Dray and podz were pretty brutal.

As much as we need looney on some possessions he just lacks the athleticism in some situations.

Refs sucked too, can’t believe the dray/randle challenge.

Going to need to play harder next game
