Draymond had a double pump layup earlier that reminded me of MJ

Raps are blowing a golden opportunity. Warriors are **** injury riddled right now and they're up 12

One of the least called fouls in the game. A horrible unfair advantage.

Better positioning


also 7'1" and hard to move. Outweighs those guys by 30-40lbs. Just has to wade on in there and reach up.

More about Warriors defense so not entirely on Nurse. Raps failed to make those open shots in the third and that doomed them to this blowout...

Raps might not win another game. 2 more games at home for GSW and a chance to close out on the road in game 5.

This game has the a similar feel to the game where KD got hurt. It feels like the wheels are about to come off (first Looney, now Klay) but somehow this team continues to overachieve.

Earlier in this same thread people were trashing Kerr for playing him. I don’t know, maybe the coaches sometimes do know just a little bit?


He was perfectly fine last game. Made some good passes, didnt get killed on defense. All he needed was to get more confidence on offense. People want Boogie to hurt the Warriors a lot more than he does.

Curry is a truth. We need to see some film and appreciate it.

Warriors can put Jerebko, Bogut, Cook, Bell, Mckinnie on the floor and still win the series because of Kerr. He is ridiculous as a head coach.

Lol Curry and Quinn jerking each other off while Ibaka hits a 3 and Klay is injured. So unlikable.
