Just get the W by any means necessary

We could win this too

More Steven Adams thanks

Huestis back in the rotation for no reason.

Going to be interested to see how Walton uses PG. If he keeps him as a primary ball handler I can't blame Donovan.

I see we had yet another disastrous 2nd quarter. Even the Warriors who are just banged up enough to be missing a couple of key bench pieces still have a bench that's demonstrably better than our piece of crap bench.

Ridiculous decision by Russ. Why pass that to Huestis anyways? He wasn't going to make that. He was well guarded. Just boneheaded.

George not great again, Melo defending KD is not ideal.

How about keeping Felton in as a 2 when they have Klay Thompson on the floor? Lol

It is probably the most unimportant part of this game, but am I the only one who doesn't want to look at Kerr's face after every (second) possesion?

Apart from that I liked our(Westbrooks) mini-comeback in the third quarter, but it does not look like it is enough.

It never fails. Whenever Russ has a good game the rest of the team plays like abject trash.
I guess Abrines and Brewer were decent and Adams was ok on rebounds but .... yeah.

Paul George was the only starter that was negative. The ONLY starter that was negative. I know that has to do with playing with the bench, but that's both his and Donovan's fault. His not showing up for big games isn't an anomaly, its a trend.
If only there was a way to turn Paul George into Kawhi leonard. Yes, even the fly by night season by Kawhi this year is preferable to Paul George.

No surprise here. We lost to a worse, depleted Celtics team and LaMarcus Aldridge and his merry-band of misfits. Even though ESPN wanted to headline this game as "the depleted Warriors...", they still had three All-Stars, one of whom is an MVP caliber player, in uniform tonight. As is, they're still one of the two best teams in the NBA.

Stellar performances by PG and Melo, I see. Shooting a combined 9/35 for 32 points in a four point loss. Awesome. If they shoot just a slightly-less awful 12/35 (which is still just a shade over 33%), we win the game. And everyone but Huestis on our craptastic bench had a +/- that was (essentially) in the negative double-digits.

Just another day at the office for a highly flawed, yet extremely talented roster that has spent all season never really being able to "figure it out" and get over the hump.

I hate this team.
