Could it be Magic?

This was absolutely one of the very best Curry games of all-time. Warriors needed every damn point.

Kerr taking Curry out in the 3rd when he's on fire? I just don't think any other coach in basketball would do that. He sat for what felt like 30 minutes. And this is after Curry played very little minutes in the previous two games. Unreal.

I'm sorry, Draymond as your starting center is isn't going to cut it. Post made all those shots. But think about what a difference he made on the defensive end (yes, on the defensive end). He got rebounds, blocked shots, and stopped the bleeding. Kerr's tiny ball lineups will absolutely not work against certain teams.

Curry & Post tonight. Everyone else was TRASH.

Jimmy Butler. He seems to becoming more and more passive with each game. What's up with that? Is he trying to be this passer first player? Why is Kerr not trying to draw up plays for him down on the blocks so he can at least draw fouls? STRANGE. As these games get tougher and tougher, it seems obvious they need to focus on running everything through Steph & Butler. And those guys need to be aggressive themselves. And it's time to give Post another shot at starting again. He might be ready for it now.

yeah he has no legs but we would have lost this without him. He really stabilizes the 2nd unit and make us less worried in general in non steph mins

Kerr takes Curry out. A rested Curry continues the brilliance in the 4th. Warriors win. Verdict: Kerr an idiot

Alternate universe: Kerr leaves Curry in. Curry tires in 4th. Warriors lose. Verdict: Kerr an idiot

Felt like curry missed 2 wide open 3s which would’ve let him tie the record. SMH

Post was great. He needs to be used in the right matchups, but when he is….

Ironically, his best matchups are against the big plodding centers that many folks thought we desperately needed.

The one thing warriors messed up on with Post was his contract. They should have structured it like TJD’s and given him 4 years with team options in the 2nd and 3rd years. If post continues to play like this then he’ll get a much higher offer after next season when he’s a restricted FA.

Think he's just a little gassed. Has been a baptism of fire.

Also shooting 7% from 3 can dent the confidence a little.

No crap. Dray at center w/Moody at power forward is weak. If not for Curry this would be a Kerr loss. I would have liked to see some TJD during the non Post minutes and keep Dray at the 4. Is TJD that far into the Kerr doghouse? What did he do that was so bad to get a string of DNP's or is this just the annual Kerr icing of a useful role player?

Bro chill. Post goes off for one game and you want to induct him into the HOF. This has been the problem all along where Kerr radically changes lineups because one dude has a good game. What they were doing was working and it worked tonight. He went to Post and Post had a great game. That's great. It does not mean he should suddenly become a starter, at least, in every matchup.

Tonight it made some sense because Orlando simply has a bunch of skilled bigs: Paolo, Franz and Wendell. ****, add Goga to the list. That's 4 freaking skilled bigs. That's like 4 more than most teams. :lol:

Tjd wasn’t making layups. Was slow on defense, standing in no man’s land. Was slow on offense getting to any spot. Sets soft screens. Tjd has been terrible all year.

TJD should be in Santa Cruz to work on his game.

This is one of those games he could have helped. Orlando has too many good players up front who pound it down low. Not saying TJD should be a regular but there are match ups against certain teams that Kerr needs to be more flexible about.

We have Looney and Post. You don’t need to play three centers.

Except Looney only played half the non Post minutes. Green and Moody got eaten up playing out of position. But whatever. They got away with it tonight. Thanks Curry. Maybe there's a big out there somewhere for the 15th spot.
