PG: We Choked

[shefcurry]

The longer this series goes, the harder it is for us. If Cousins starts getting his legs back, then we're in serious trouble.

[Yosemite Dan]

Even Kawhi was at a loss for Nurse claiming that rest timeout. And Nurse did this before in the playoffs calling a momentum killing timeout. I think it was the Philly series and it almost blew up in our face then.

[WaltFrazier]

What was Boogie just upset about, I missed the question but he was saying, F--- them, f--- them

[simple_jack]

What happened? I’ve went zero dark thirty.

Crying and giving a dramatic speech defending Durant stating how great of a person Durant is (as if anyone was even questioning Durant's character, lol).

The speech seemed so goddamn dramatic and fake, it was sickening. It was just damage control for the Warriors organization, since they are going to get heat for allowing Durant to play.

He also mentioned that the original injury was a calf injury, and that this injury is a different one. Gimmie a break.

Yep, watch that ACL angle... his calf quitted and by result of that he lost his achilles.
This is some deep ****, bro.

No I think it’s his Achilles rolling up into his calf

[Rob Diaz]

It's crazy that the Warriors are still in this with how bad everybody other than Curry and Thompson have been.

Draymond Green- 41% FG, 18% from 3
Iguodala- 38% FG, 28% from 3
Livingston- 41% FG
Cousins- 35% FG
Cook and McKinnie- 33% from 3

I wouldn’t worry about that. There’s no amount of rest that can cure stupid and Cousins is a special kind of stupid.

[BBallInSight]

If you look at the play list on nba.com it says that draymond picked up his 6th foul at 2:59 in the fourth.

[Red_Claw]

How great is Kawhi's interview right now.?!

[Brinbe]

Nurse chocked big time - time out with us leading 6 with 3;02. Why?!? To give rest to Klay and Steps so they can hit 3 threes and design 3 **** plays?!?

I thought the same thing but I just went and re-watched.

Kyle was looking to call a time-out when Kawhi was bring the ball over half court. Kawhi looked at Kyle as well and signalled for a timeout, he was totally gassed.

So I was initially angry at Nurse, but it was our 2 best players making the call, so that makes that part more palatable.
After that, we choked a bit. Its 103-97.
Out of the time out, Draymond fouls, we had the ball side out.
Kawhi drives it into the key, well defended, forces up a tough one, airball.
Kyle and Fred DOUBLE Curry, Curry chucks it out to Klay, Kawhi is out there guarding both Draymond and Klay alone, Draymond sets a great screen for Klay, Kawhi can't get around it, and Klay hits a big 3. Its now 103-100

Kyle had a wide open 3 when we were down 3 with 2:10 left and 7 seconds left on the shot clock, misses it. It was a good shot, just missed it.

Next play was the Cousins offensive goal tending call / replay.
We get the ball, 2 minutes left, Kawhi gets it, could have driven it against Cousins but instead pulls it back out to Kyle with 8 seconds left, Kyle I guess wanted to drive and kick it out to Gasol, and throws it away. Ouch.

We're up by 3, with 1:30 to go. Curry running off a screen at full speed hits a 3. I mean wow.

We are tied with 1:15 left, I thought that this would be a great place to call a timeout.
No play called, Kawhi dribbles it up, takes a contested 3 point shot with 14 seconds left on the shot clock. Hits front of the rim.

Warriors come down with 1 minute to go, pass the ball beautifully and Klay pump fakes Kawhi, hits a 3.

Were down 3, Gasol drives with 48 seconds to go, I thought he was fouled by Cousins, no call.
Then an over and back call on Draymond. Our ball.

Kyle nice drive right away, were down 1 with 29 seconds to go.

We get SUPER lucky with that offensive foul call on Cousins on Fred. I couldn't believe they called that.

15 seconds left ,we are down by 1.... we get possession of the ball and chance to win the NBA Championship.... and we don't call a time out.........

Kawhi drives, great defence by Klay and Iguodala to close off the lane, kicks it to Fred, who makes a nice pass to Lowry, gets blocked by Draymond and the whole country is in shock.....

Just wow, this one hurts man.

yep, they should've called a timeout.

but kyle had a great look on that earlier 3 he missed too.

[Yosemite Dan]

Actually it might be better this way. If we won tonight, then it would have taken a back seat with the KD drama. Hopefully the media can recover from thier mass grief by Friday and give us proper due when we win Friday.

[StringerBell]

Pascal didn't play well at all tonight, but let's think about what our expectations of him were to start the season and where they are now. He's averaging 20/8/5 on 50% shooting while taking the second most FGA on the team, yet hasn't played up to most people's expectations this series. Crazy when you think about it.

[raptor jesus]

The Warriors were on the ropes, taking a timeout for rest just lets them rest as well, settle down and recalibrate while the crowd hushes down. And that rest is arguably more important for shooters, especially one with a tender hamstring. I still can't fathom that decision. At the very least, you gotta come away with a decent look - nope.

[HEKTOR]

It's crazy that the Warriors are still in this with how bad everybody other than Curry and Thompson have been.

Draymond Green- 41% FG, 18% from 3
Iguodala- 38% FG, 28% from 3
Livingston- 41% FG
Cousins- 35% FG
Cook and McKinnie- 33% from 3

Is it though? If we had another guy consistently helping out Kawhi like say Klay is helping Steph, I think this series would have been over already.

Don’t be surprised if the American media use it as way to turn on us and get Kawhi to sign in America

All three threes were CLUTCH! Kudos to them. I think Kyle had time to wait for Green to fly by him. He saw him coming, and than launch. I think there was time..

[BBallInSight]

Also stop setting up siakam for corner threes. He cannot make them at this stage.

Pascal didn't even play the last few minutes, not sure why. Fred should not have started the last possession handling, Kyle should have, then Fred go to the same corner. But really, I wish Kawhi had shot the last shot, over people.

When it was up 6, we had 2 bad possessions, Kawhi a turnaround fallaway airball, then a drive by Gasol. Did he get fouled on that - probably.

I don't know how he didn't do a better job of drawing the foul. That was disastrous.

I agree to an extent, which is why I think it's funny when fans think these games are won on the backs of Danny Green or Ibaka or whichever other role player lol.

Still, I'm surprised that literally everybody outside of their top 2 has had a poor series. They've typically had at least Iguodala or even a McGee step up in the past.

[PhilBlackson]

Thanks crowd for painting a giant sh*t stain on the entire fanbase.

Just brilliant.

What an awful look and stain...its gonna be hard for people to feel happy for us should we win it. Those f*cking morons just made us the ultimate heel of fanbase in sports.
