Dubs offense is just trying to give us fans who never got to watch Mikan-era basketball before the shot clock. I guess 10 points a quarter was pretty common then.

Moody being the first player on the team to show some kind of intensity was nice I guess. They're playing a little bit better but it probably won't matter at this point.

Would be nice to get down to 14-15 at the half... Then there's still a chance, depending on how they come out to start the 3rd.

Edit: lol nevermind if Brooks is going to bank in 3s.

Wild idea: if you want to make a comeback, stop leaving them wide open for 3's.

Not sure why the rockets went away from their zone but the offense is looking better. Now can we get some stops please

Those weren't open 3s... Brooks banked in a heave and FVV was well defended, again on a shot clock heave. They're just making everything. It happens.

Loon seems totally unable to offer any resistance to Sengun's forays to the rim. I recall him being much more effective during the regular season.

At this point I think the warriors would be better off getting down by 30+ so Kerr isn't tempted to play Steph and Jimmy meaningless minutes in the 2nd half.

Time to wave the white flag, that was about as bad as it can get.

FVV was wide open, Curry switched off him and nobody switched onto him. The majority of their 3's have been wide open after they just swing the ball around one time because the defense has sucked
