Kerr is the worst coach in the world perhaps.

Wemby is tall but Bron pushed him like he was made out of paper.

It’s a lot harder to play offense with him on the floor because France can pack the paint.

Booker might be most reliable these playoffs for cashing in on open looks. If he gets time, I feel like its a bucket.

You know if Curry would like to show up in this game, that would be great!!!

Why not sit Jrue at this point and leave Tatum in if you’re going to switch everything on defense?

That's the first time this quarter Wemby had Holiday down low and actually took advantage of it.
