Watch it again. Watch jk. All he had to do was turn around. Wiggs forced reeves baseline and into the help.

I just don’t understand why jk is in the game for defense.

I'll have to see a replay but RJ seemed to say that Rui did a good job of making sure JK had to stay on him.

I’ve watched it.

Your bias is showing. Wiggins forced baseline but bit on something from Reeves and lost ground. I think he thought Reeves would shoot a baseline fade.

Kuminga couldn’t leave his man alone under the basket.

Wiggins Vs Reeves with seconds to go. Should be overtime.

Lakers have drafted a lot better in the last 5-10 years than the Warriors.

They have Christie a 2nd round pick and Reeves a UDFA play major minutes.

Warriors don’t even play Moody at all or Podz in crunch time.

They have to clean house with the draft scouting and talent evaluation personnel.

Because they’re going to be in rebuild mode soon enough and they need to draft so much better.

Forget about trades, this team is going nowhere. They lost to a play-in team without one of their two best players so what does that make the Warriors?

Time to maximize draft position. But clean house with player personnel.

With a second left on the clock. Jk cleared out. All he had to do was turn around.

Wiggins defended too close in order to defend the shot and Reaves took advantage from it.

Kuminga didn't try to block the shot.

They have both part of the fault but if Warriors had a rim protector this would have been avoided.

The tallest guy in crunch time was 6' 7.
The basket is unprotected

Warriors have to make trades, otherwise they will be out of playoffs.

Schroeder does not fit with the team and Warriors system.
Warriors didn't need a pg.

Could Wiggins have been better, sure. Was he beat. Yes. But he was forcing Reeves into help that was supposed to be there, but wasn't. It's the second line.

99/100 players give help in that exact same situation jk was in. It's called team defense. Unfortunately, we play the 1 that doesn't.
