Why do the Warriors pass up on so many open looks just to keep passing? Do they have a quota each possession that they must meet of like 6 passes or something?

Podenzki just turned down a wide open 3 with Gobert sagging off and Warriors got horrible shot after that. Jimmy did the same thing before.

This has to be getting coached into them by Kerr to keep moving the ball. But passing the ball just for the sake of passing the ball idiotic because you’re turning down good shots especially when you’re playing without the guy that can create his own offense.

Honestly.. if I had to guess why Legler doesn't do way more games is that he probably doesn't like the travel. But he's the best commentator/analyst in the NBA and has been for over a decade

he's the best hands down

Honestly, the bar is so low with all of these former players, so it's nice to hear somebody who can talk about hoops beyond clichés. :lol:

Randle takes a second too long to think when he receives the ball some times.

Julius Randle may very well end up being the best player on a title team. I dont think they get by OKC, but man, who coulda seen that coming?

What a shameful flop by Randle. Did he learn that from Brunson?

Julius Randle what a flop. Guy’s such a loser to flop when you’re that big.

Wolves are getting some home cooking by the refs right now even though the game is being played in the bay area lmao.

Yes Randle keep forcing it in the post against Draymond.

is Kuminga pretty good, or is someone going to overpay this summer because of a hot hand in the playoffs?

Rudy Gobert is playing some unbelievable defense this half.
