Good start of the 3rd quarter. Beal with 2 consecutive threes and another from KD.

What happened with the NBA cracking down on flopping?

This was almost as egregious as Luka flopping on Nurk at the beginning of the season.

Another triple, 20 up. Let's close this one!

durant should never. NEVER pass the ball.
the opponent exactly know that he makes dumb lazy pass attempts.

I wonder what his assist to turnover ratio was on the Warriors. Cause yeah, he’s a pretty horrific passer. He practiced shooting his entire life, but neglected to learn how to pass the right way.

Career Phase AST/TO Ratio
Pre-Warriors (Seattle/OKC, 2007–2016) 1.13 (2363 assists, 2083 turnovers)

i am really mad at coach bud. seeing these young players perform so good and refusing them to play.

The difference in energy level when guys like Dunn, Oso and Gillespie are playing extended minutes is night and day.

SMH

We had to have Dunn always on the rotation, preferably as a starter but I don't get why Budenholzer gave him DNP or 5 minutes per game for the last 15/20 games.

He is good for real.

Young guys wanted it more, and they led the charge

For sure Oso and Dunn earned their minutes back

Our team has been missing this pretty badly! A great example of why the draft and having young players throughout an aging roster matters! :nod:

Oso as well! We're getting a glimpse of how things could be if Ishbia acknowledged the value and impact of the draft and having young, hungry, tenacious, explosive, and exciting young athletes on the roster to energize our listless aging stars and bench.

Our team might actually be fun to watch again, and we'd bank a whole lot more wins and maybe even be in the 4-6 range with the other teams that actually utilize youth and athleticism instead of just trying to outskill/ outshoot everyone!

How many close losses did we surrender this season due to not having the energy to close things out?? Could maybe have banked away another 15-20 games possibly on the athleticism, tenacity, and energy they provide our aging team with. Then our season might have been a whole different story! Another 15- 20 wins might have us at in the top 3 of the standings right now! Kind of like many of the top teams possess, which ironically helped them to their dominance. And people say there's not a clear blueprint for competitive success!

I really hope Ishbia wakes up to this consideration and starts valuing the draft and picks a lot more to infuse our whole roster with this kind of energy and athleticism. And also make it fun and entertaining to watch games again too!
