It's kind of ridiculous that Golden State is even in the game. If they'd just quit over passing (to get more shots) and quit trying to make the high difficulty passes, GS could win this game.


Both teams are pretty bad lol. I don't think either of these teams (Warriors sans Jimmy) would beat any of the other western conference teams in a playoff series, except maybe Memphis.

They’re finally chasing rather than switching. There’s no need to switch. Houston doesn’t have great shooters.

It's games like these I wish we still had our pre-injuries Klay. So many times he'd bang 3-4 three's to push us ahead in defunct games.

Steve Kerr should bench Hield every time he dribbles the basketball.

That said, his 3 3s this game have been very important, so shrug.

The problem is there are no alternatives lol. Also, that was the highest I've seen him jump on that offensive board. At least he's playing hard.

If he's dribbling with a defender near him, one of his teammates should steal the ball from him.
