They gave up offensive rebounds and a bucket on back to back possessions with under 3 minutes left which really cost them. Add in Green and Lee going 1/4 at the line late and the already mentioned awful start and they were neck and neck with Indy.
They still need 1 more backup guard though. Miller, Udrih, Hinrich are all guys that can spell Steph Curry and also play with him at times.
Yea that's what killed the Warriors. Indiana had too much size for the Warriors. They were getting out rebound and Indy getting easy uncontested buckets. When Lee and Bogut both on the court together, the Warriors are fine because they got two legit rebounders with one player being Bogut as a very good rim protector to help Lee's lack of defense.
BUT! When Speights comes in for Bogut to play with David Lee, opponents open their eyes wider and attack the rim because they know Speights and Lee are not going to contest their shots or going to outwork them for the rebounds. Same goes for Green coming in fro Lee to play with Speights. I love Green's heart and passion, but opponents will have their ways with those two being the PF and C. It's a whole different team when Bogut is out and Speights is in. Warriors definitely need to upgrade and have someone better than Speights coming in for Bogut. Someone who can protect the rim, contest shots, and rebound just like Bogut for about 20 minutes. Green is ok as the backup PF/SF, but Speights got to go!
