Play-in might be better tbh if you end up playing Houston. Sure they looked good the other day but I like the Warriors chances in a series.

The Wolves, Nuggets, or Grizzlies in a 7v8 matchup could be tough. If they have to play the Mavs if they lose a close first game it could be tough. We play a small starting lineup and a number of guys like Dray, JK, Jimmy who are not great shooters having to defend and score on AD, Lively, Gafford frontcourt.

Hield miss 9 of his 13 shots, I'm not upset at his 3s, I'm upset with him trying to do something else with the ball, 0-3 inside the arc. It's almost never good with Hield when he isn't shooting 3s.

It’s because he was part of that terrible lineup of jb/dray/jk/mm/bp. That lineup lost 2 double digit leads in this game.

Got all that momentum early and Dubs never recovered. I know guys were out tonight, but what the hell with the lineups?

Something I hope Kerr can fix... when Butler has the ball on the wing, CLEAR THE LANE OUT, it's one of the reasons he's not scored much, he can beat his man but there's another defender already near the basket to take away the easy shot.

Playin is not better. The Warriors 3 best players are all old as dirt and have been giving a ton of effort for weeks now, on top of Steph and Butler both having minor injuries. These guys need the rest.

The playin is also assuming they win, which isn't a guarantee.

Plus, Draymond or Looney can't finish for sh@t.

Yea our biggest issue is that dray and jimmy don’t look to score, can’t shoot and they’re tiny. I’m not sure there’s a way to really mitigate it. And this was a game where Jimmy was more aggressive than he’s normally been.

Playing Kuminga and Moody together has been bad for a long time now and here Steve Kerr is playing them together in a key stretch with seeding still in doubt. It's just dumbfounding.

Eh, whatever, if they can't win 1 out of 2 play-in games then they weren't going to do chit in the playoffs anyways.

How can they clear out the lane when no one guards draymond? Post really is what makes that lineup work. Jk/tjd aren’t substitutes for post in that lineup.

Moody shooting has been bad since JK is back... some serious decision will need to be made.. or we dont do anything just wait for next season.

This is why the Dubs need one more "consistent" shooter/scorer. Podz has done a great job the last few weaks but I still don't trust him. Moody is hit or miss just like Kuminga and neither are good shooters. Hield.......uh.......nvm.
