I've seen some dumb coaching but that's the play you come up with to end the game?

expected nothing less

Lue always embarasses Kerr

They had to pass it in where LA couldn't instantly foul before GS got a 3 off, there wasn't many options. All the LAC had to do is instantly foul and it's 2 foul shots down by 3.

we are not making stops with the 3 guard lineup. thats game

GP2 can't guard Harden. Just blows by everytime.

Yeah I don't get why he's out there. He clearly can't handle harden and he just gets in the way on offense. I love GP2, but this clearly isn't his matchup.

And Green blowing a layup and then Buddy unable to make contact with the rim was a classic way to lose a game.

Come on, Curry went to the corner and gave the ball away (call timeout or throw it off one of the defender's legs), Draymond had a layup and tried to lean away from the basket to get a foul while shooting a layup, there were screwups by some players at the end of the game.

I understand that but setting the play up for Hield? I would have gone with Podz or Moody over Hield if you couldn't get it to Butler or Curry.

I cannot grasp the philosophy behind keeping GP2 in OT since he was **** awful on both ends.

Why pull Kuminga from the rotation? This team isn't good enough if Kuminga gives them nothing. Memphis will be a wash with the lineups we played. If Butler is injured I cannot imagine how they would generate enough points to beat the Kings in a do or die with Sabonis, Derozan, Lavine, Monk, and Murray.

I thought the team played fine defensively after they stopped doubling Zubac on the catch. But our offense was not good enough. Putting up points applies pressure to the other team, we got nothing easy and open late in the game with the lineup.

For anyone at that point, it was a nearly no win situation.

Kerr at his finest. Dubs were literally playing 3 on 5 late in the 4th & OT. Lue wasn't letting Steph or Butler beat them.

[AirP.]

It was interesting that Kerr went away from Butler who doesn't turn over the ball and carried the team early on. Either Butler gets an isolation or Butler finds someone open, possibly Curry.

that Podz turnover was so brutal in the 4th

[AirP.]

LAC didn't win the game, GS lost the game. The Clippers just played like a solid playoff team.

Curry's too. The Green layup miss might be worse.

What's worse than this loss is Butler's injury. Hope it's not that serious.

[AirP.]

From what I've seen from a far, GS has usually had enough shooting to overcome some bad decisions/plays, that's not the case with this version of the team. Boy does that SA game sting.

it was like we lost 3 times... we lose a playoff spot, we lose butler, we lose rest

Warriors played well. It wasn't their best but Butler took more of the types of shots he had been passing up.

They just couldn't stop the Clippers, but they forced the Clippers to play their best in order to beat them.

Curry started out badly, got hot in the second half, especially the 4th quarter. However, the turnovers ultimately undid them, 8 in the game.

Optimistic sign that they shot well as a team because the role players are needed.

Game vs. Grizzlies is not going to be easy even though they beat them at Memphis a week ago.

This roster needs some serious change.. need more size and shooting. if we are not going to play Moody at least play some Santos
