Yea and the "stagger Gianni's minutes to play with the benchers" thing needs to be retired asap.

This is where they just desperately an athletic 3/4 who can move. Wenyen Gabriel, for example.

Sleep walking through the 1st half was brutal. Lazy defense, getting out hustled and the whole GSW team white hot from 3 is certainly a recipe for a 20pt halftime deficit. Why Aj Green didn’t get a single second of action in a 3pt barrage type of game is an interesting strategy..

And proceed to not stop the bleeding by calling a timeout. He's not been bright with his rotations tonight. Waayyyy too slow, need some juice.

Not to make excuses but this is probably the worst night of the season to play the Warriors.

They just got embarrassed on national TV and they still have the pride of a champion.

They had 3 days off.

They finally have all their guys healthy.

And they're at home.

It's like a perfect bad storm for us.

They were feeling themselves a bit too much lately and it caught up with them. Time for a second-half comeback.

GSW exploded once Giannis sat down. This game is not a game for Lopez. I think Marjon or AJax needs his minutes and AJ Green should have played over Gallinari and needs more minutes. My second half adjustments would be to start Pat or AJ Green with Crowder at the 5. Play Wiggins for his drives and help off of him

Could say same about Bucks. 6-0 riding high, Freak hasn't played since Friday. But Bucks look like snails.

Take a shot every time Meyers reminds the viewers that the Warriors, did not in fact, have 100 days off.

He's probably on a minutes restriction

He was on the sideline waiting to check in for 2 minutes tho while there was no stoppage in play. And they needed a timeout regardless.

Missed the first quarter and a half but they showed two highlights with Jae getting cooked on the perimeter by Curry and one with Brook picking Curry up on D without a switch occuring. Wth to both of those?

Debating on staying awake. I could totally see Doc punting this game if GS shooting stays hot.

Agreed which is why I was fine with Giannis sitting another game it if was needed

I get he’s unfortunately going to ride beas, but aj should really be in there for him. Just really ugly on both ends in this one for him. At least last game, he had a nice presence on d.

When I saw the final score of the Celtics Warriors game Sunday, the first thing I did was check (and hope) to see if Warriors played a game before we played them Wednesday....lol.

Rewarding a young guy who had a great last game with 0 first half minutes while your vets are sleepwalking out there down 20 is dumb.
