Blew all time playoff lead of 31 and Cousins is done with a torn quad. Warriors ready to wake the hell up now?

On playing scrubs in the 3rd. Big lead you try to steal minutes especially when a top player in Cousins goes down for maybe the whole playoffs.

Series will now be 6 games. Clippers will get enough confidence to win one in LA while GS readjusts it's
Rotation without Cuz. Looney will have to step up against Harell.

There is something wrong with KD...and Kerr is totally useless in these close games. I dont like our chances vs rockets and bucks at all..

Naw, I don't believe in that. You finish that 3rd strong and play the scrubs in the 4th, not the third.

Right now, I have to agree.

that is idiotic by Kerr. He has no sense of urgency coaching these games. Even scrubs like me felt that Curry's foul was huge and we need to be careful because when your star had foul trouble, he will always start cold again in the 4th....I dont believe a top coach like Kerr would never consider any of that.

In all the playoff games the Warriors have played over the past 7 years, I’ve never once questioned the effort of Curry, Klay, or Draymond. Sure they’ve had bad games but it was never an issue of effort.

KD’s effort tonight was insulting. Preseason level effort.

They trap him.

So he passes out of them and gets good looks for others.

He didn’t have a lot of shots but the worst part were the 9 turnovers including 2 offensive fouls.

Kerr just said the Warriors didn’t play well the last quarter and a half, exactly when Curry went out on a bull offensive foul call.

I don't blame Kerr, but he could have tried putting KD deep into the post with Beverley on him. I'm talking real deep like a foot away so we could get a good entry pass and KD could just rise up and either score or draw a foul on Bev who was playing suffocatingly close to him. Beverley's crushing shutdown of KD changed the entire 3rd quarter, it gave them serious energy, Kerr could have adjusted because Kevin had no answer and stopped even trying to get free from Patrick.

Problem was it didn't seem like the rest of the team was on the same page with that.

Jim Barnett was getting frustrated by Curry and Green running their defenders into KD when KD was trying to post up.

Thank god we did that last minute signing with Bogut. Who knows how long Cousins will be out but according to Papa, it's 2 weeks to rest of season.

I feel for Kerr because I don't know what else he can do or say to get this team to value possessions. We lost that margin and let them get 10 more shots than us.

Posting KD seems obvious.
KD has been shooting over people his whole career. When KD is in a rhythm he is undefendable. Breaking KD rhythm and messing with his head is how to defend KD.

Some of the offensive fouls by KD did not look right. Beverly gets to put his hands all over KD and it is al OK off the ball because there is no such thing as an off the ball foul in the playoffs but then how did KD get off the ball offensive fouls. Beverly hugs KD and then all the sudden goes flopping backwards.

Posting up should let KD work his frustration out.

Looks like Boogie is out for the duration.Thankful Bogut is there, but will he be healthy for the rest of the playoffs? Dubs look very vulnerable to me. The Dubs need another center. Jones is too soft, even when healthy. Last night's game was a total collapse. Hopeful that it doesn't foretell a much bigger concern going forward. Question -- is it too late to sign West, if they shut down Boogie for the rest of the playoffs?

43 Turnovers in 2 games and it easily should have been more. This is not going to get better until KD, Steph and Draymond stop making dumb ill advised passes. This team even struggles with simple entry passes because they take terrible angles to make the entry pass.

bad L, cannot allow a comeback down 31 points in your home. let's hope this wakes them up and go L.A. to ravage the staple centre.
they should've buried the clippers in the second half, up 31 points they shoould've go for a +40 rather than start to fool around.

He's dicing us up even when we send help. Most talk about his scoring and rightfully so but his passing has been incredible.

Let's hope so. If he can we'll be fine with him and Looney giving us 20 minutes each at center.

Yep this is like trying to defend Kyrie with better passing ability.
