If we can just hit some open shots … smh. We need a shot maker so bad

I'll gladly take a 50 pt loss if kerr learns that midget ball doesn't work and has never worked.

We are playing zone against 4 shooters

No choice. The celtics are just overpowering steph and buddy in the post. We have no size.

Another deflating loss.

We lost a soon as Kerr assigned the starting line up.

We went uber small vs an uber big celtics. It was piss poor planning. So wiggs on Tatum up top which leaves brown or zingus vs a 6ft guard in the post with tjd being a help defender? It was a disaster before tip.

Everyone but Kerr saw that

If it weren't for Kerr this mediocre team could beat the champs!

Glad I can tap in and see the same issues aren’t being resolved. Treadmill teams like this are insufferable.

Also at this point how can you just blame Kerr.

Curry, Lacob, and MDJ are all complicit in the incompetency. If fan can see these flaws and no one is pushing for change that means they are OKAY with maintaining the status quo.

Why is post not getting any real minutes? Like they want to see what a stretch big would do for us and we have 1 sitting on the bench. Sure he’s not as good but at least we’d see what it would look like before we trade any type of assets to see what it would look like.

They already did beat them this year.

It’s because no one cares anyone. They’ve lost their joy, motivation, and creativity.

Kerr is figuratively bashing his head against a wall with these midget ball rotations. Clearly no one else in the franchise is speaking out or suggesting to try something different.

They’re all just cashing checks. Winning is no longer a priority.

Lacob is tanking. Obviously. Looking to the future and tanking -- and doing an amazing job. And Steve Kerr is the perfect coach for the mission.

Obviously would have been an easy W but Kerr refused to start Loon, TJD and Post. :lol:

I love the optimism of some here that this roster is just a rotation change away from competing.

I remember the good old days when it was a massive thing if we played .500 ball. Now it’s mind numbingly depressing.

I think this is the first time since 2011 that I could've caught a game but just decided not to

my god was that a good call

Unfortunately that applies to lots of their games this year. There is just no juice left. They're still too old, too small, too slow, too tired, too banged up, too uncreative, and too unmotivated to even bother. There's no "magic" that's coming back to this team. If they get Draymond, Kuminga, Podz, and Slowmo back, they're a little better, but still not nearly good enough.

Our 3 highest-volume shot-takers (Steph, Wiggs, Moses) shot 30% combined, can't beat many teams with offense like that.
