I honestly love that we fight until the end. Underdog mentality, fight until the bell rings.

Bleh...very hard to win when our tallest player all game was 6'7. Uhhhhhhhh MItch???

Such a winnable game. GS had 25 or so turnovers. Gotta cash in on games like these.

Just want to reiterate that Monk is three years younger than Graham and four years younger than Rozier.

This is a tough ass road trip. Make it 2-2 on Sunday and we are looking good.

I really think we need to resign him and make sure he’s a core piece of this team moving forward.

For sure. None of us were expecting the squad to beat the Suns. I'd really really like us to beat Sac on Sunday though...they just snapped their 9 game losing streak by beating the Pistons by 3...cmon.

Definitely a frustrating loss...we looked pretty tired out there and it's just really sad that we can't have one mediocre Center available if Zeller's injury prone ass is hurt...what kind of roster construction is that?

Monk's shooting has been great, but man when it was Monk and Ball out there it was like someone was drunk behind the wheel - you might get there but it won't be safe and you'll always feel like you're on the verge of a catastrophe.

Yeah, I expected us to get rocked. We actually looked worse than I expected in terms of general disorganization, but I fully expected an unpleasant game.

Sometimes he looks good, other times, like tonight, it really seems to bother him. That, plus the Golden State defense. Give credit to Steve Kerr.

Yeah spot on. Perhaps it's a good thing that he wasn't given the All-Star nod. The week off will hopefully be big for him.

Yeah it was pretty wild how Monk had some really poor passes...really exceptional scoring all the same though. I remember when he first got back into the rotation he was making really solid drive and kick sling passes. I think it'll come back to him, and if/when he can put that all together, he is a serious, serious threat for us off the bench. Really makes me think about what it'll look like when Devonte' comes back...
