Not surprised. The way he took off to the locker room you could tell he knew something was seriously wrong.

This is pretty pathetic. I wonder if the teams traded coaches if billy would have a roster of g-leaguers play as hard as Kerr has them playing. Even without their stars golden states’ players know how to move the ball and find the open man. Meanwhile, we’ve tried to force passes to someone cutting to the basket all game that has resulted in multiple turnovers. I underestimate billy as a tank commander.
Also getting tired of watching Shai make dumb drives in to traffic. I’m not staying up for the second half. Maybe they’ll have a great second half. I have a feeling I’m the only one who made it this far into the game. I may post a reply to myself in the morning.

I've watched a lot of Thunder basketball but this may be the worst game I've ever seen. If they don't come back and win this somehow I'm calling this is the worst Thunder loss ever.

I've been silent on here all season, so I don't know how much room I have to speak.
But yeah, this is the Warriors F-- squad. This is on its way to being a truly bad loss. On the one hand, I'm ok with that because I want our lottery position to be as high as possible. However, there really isn't any reason this team, constructed as is, should be 5-11 after 17 games.
Billy Donovan is a truly horrific NBA coach and the fact that he's still employed at this points is comical. I have no other words for Presti other than, "Presti is a dumb***."
Please, for the love of God, find a way to shop CP3 and Gallinari by the trade deadline and get a top 5 pick to pair with SGA.

If our mission is to truly tank, then Donovan is definitely our guy. Our issue is that Presti ****ed up and left our roster too good to truly tank to a top 3-5 pick.

How do you even get excited over this crap? We had to erase a 97-90 deficit in the last 2-3 minutes against the worst team in the NBA, with a G-League roster on the court, in order to get the win.

I actually had a ton of fun watching the game. The Warriors will surprise a bunch of teams in games this season, because no one will take them seriously.
As far as enjoying the game, we had the following
- Nader passing up a corner 3 to flail into an offensive foul
- A trillion Nerlens lobs
- constant Schroder frustration
- OBJ clone hitting EVERY mid range shot for GSW
- GSW fans randomly booing CP3
- enough bricks to build a significantly large house
- a Burton step back 3
I found it fun to watch

Warriors and Knicks will probably keep a death grip on the race for the worst record in the NBA. Barring a major trade I don't think we'll have one of the 5 worst records in the league. My realistic hope is that OKC ends up no worse than the 8-10 range on draft day.

There is a balance between tanking and having a coach that can help young guys grow. Shai seems to have peaked after about five games this season. He doesn’t seem to be very confident right now. He’s shooting 40% from three yet passes up good looks and drives in to traffic and gets blocked. He didn’t even have an interim coach. Let’s tank with an interim coach.

That was a pretty 4th quarter comeback. They needed a road win. Apparently the coach got on them at the half. He told them they need to share the ball. Looking at the stats they listened. 4 guys with 5 assists or more. Yes I know GS is bad but even bad teams win occasionally. Take the W. They lost a few heartbreakers as well.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.
