The sad thing about Mario is that if he learned how to dribble at all before this/last year, maybe he would be a very valuable backup PG for us or a PG option in the league as a whole.

He has the vision for it.. just the dribbling and decision making is messy.

Highlight of the night... David Steele failing to pronounce the 2 time league MVP's name correctly, not once... but twice!

Let’s hope he catches onto benching Biyombo a little faster than he caught onto moving AG back to the 4 lol.

Biz is going to get his, Vogel plays favorites. And in his eyes Biyombo is a hard worker who just sucks at basketball.

So many other guys to attack on the team. Elfrid looks rusty, not in game condition, and does not really trust that hamstring just yet. Not surprised he would struggle with a very good defender in Livingston. Offense still looked miles better with him running the show. Need him to heal up and quickly.

We're still switching so much. Elf was on Durant on like 8 poss, Speights on Nick Young, Vuc on Klay.. made no sense.

Once we fell behind everyone wanted to do everything by themselves and the shots stopped falling. Plus... they're the Warriors. Biz and Mack wouldn't even make their roster and we're playing them meaningful minutes against them. On to the next one.

It’s okay to criticize players when they play bad games, we’re a young and imperfect team and they have a lot of growing to do. Doesn’t mean we don’t like them.

Tough loss but you can’t expect to beat the Warriors, hopefully the team channels it into kicking the **** out of Portland lol.

To be fair that’d probably shave off a couple pounds. :lol:

I believe every loss except for one has been by double-digits, which is a troubling stat.

With that said, losing to the Warriors was expected. I think most of us were hoping to go 2-2 on this road trip, so at least we still have a chance to do that.

Orlando has been horribly out rebounded the last two games. A troubling stat.

Expected L but unexpected sucking at rebounding a ball. Warriors had 15 rebouns more

Really? This Warriors team would absolutely crush any other team around the world. In fact, they would crush any teams national teams. They are the World Champs because they play in the best league in the world.

I'm going to start calling my local team the world champs because hey apparently you don't actually have to play against the world to claim that title you just have to believe it's true!

So you believe that a team out there somewhere can beat the Warriors 4 times in a 7 game series? That's ridiculous. Let's face it, all the best talent is in the NBA, claiming otherwise is like saying the MLS is better than the Euro leagues. Fact is fact.

From an outside perspective, there is nothing more obnoxious than the whole "world champs" thing after an nba title.

You get it, it's not about if i think a team would beat the world like you said it's just an obnoxious phrase the u.s uses often for it's sports.

I knew this was coming from an anti-US stance, the Warriors WOULD absolutely DOMINATE any euro team. Fact. Just like Barcelona would dominate any team in the MLS. Fact.

Why people get so cought up in semantics ? BIggest football ( soccer ) clubs tournament is called CHAMPIONS league, not only that non-champions from last year also play, it's also only limited on Europe. Full name of competition is UEFA-s Champions league ( Union of European Football Associations ) yet nobody calls it that way, it's just champions league.

If you are top nba team you are by default top team in the world. Complete no brainer.

To be fair, that seems to be where most defensive schemes have gone in the playoffs for the past few years. So i think we're just preparing on this sort of things.

Its very painful to see our guys getting mismatches and sorts, I think Vogel can make some adjustments down the line, but its already better to watch this scheme this year, than last year when it would only cause wide open lanes.
