Clippers are a tough team.

I just hope we are not too banged up for memphis.

Too small lineup. Curry, Podz and GP2 should not play together. Basically scared to go inside.
Santos was needed.
I should be on Lacob payroll...

Nah, mistakes were made late. These are the situations maybe you run the offense through Butler late (who is a very low TO player), he'll look to get Curry a shot. Powell hitting those 2 end of the quarter shots came back to bite GS.

we dont have POA defender that can stay on top of Harden or Kawhi. And we dont have size to rotation over when doubling them...so we should try some Looney Dray Butler Steph Podz and put Green on Kawhi. Offense would be bad but we should get enough O-Rebound to get Steph some looks

If we get by Memphis I like how the bracket sets up. Clips and Fakers in the other half. We get Houston.

After Butler's FTs in 4th with over 8 minutes left, Butler didn't get a stat for the rest of the quarter, it seemed very odd to go away from for most of the 4th.

??? That was a good play lol. They got their 2nd best 3-point shooter a somewhat decent look while not letting the Clippers foul. It's not Kerr's fault that Buddy didn't even hit rim.

Moody was okay on defense, got some steals early on but Harden started hooking his arm and getting fouls.

He didn't hit enough wide open shots and when he's contested, he can't beat the closeouts consistently enough.

Warriors young players can't put it on the deck and create. JK sometimes but not against the best defenders.

Clippers dominated the boards, in part because the Warriors gave up enough blow bys including some off traps -- Clippers made the Warriors pay for doubling -- and they got Zubac easy layups or offensive rebounds and put backs.

They leaned on their starters, 4 of them had over 40 minutes. For the Warriors, only Butler and Podz were over 40 minutes. Curry was 38 minutes, -16 though he scored 36 points.

I've been postponing the emotional end of this era in my mind and this is a tough one. We simply aren't great. We might beat the grizzlies but we're not beating the rockets I think. Either way. I will love Draymond, Steph, Kerr, Andre, Loon and Klay for what they gave us till I die.

I'm ok with this. Warriors are 6.5 pt favorites over Memphis. Take care of that, and I'd rather face Houston than Lakers + refs.

Turnovers were brutal at the end.
