Why did Steph play 37 minutes in a game like this?

I might even play him over gui tbh. But that would be really desperation time and highly unlikely.

They absolutely need to package jk for an athletic 3 and d wing this offseason. One that isn't lacking in bbiq, because integrating another big minute wing with steph and dray on the fly won't be easy. And time is running out.

Not all minutes are the same - that wasn't a very high-impact 37 minutes. Plus multiple breaks with all the reviews/techs/flagrant etc. And they don't play until Saturday.

Problem with Moody is he takes forever to get his shot off. He's had many open opportunities tonight but because he takes an hour to get his shot off, he won't let it fly. Dubs desperately need some wings and guards who can shoot and dribble, not one or the other.

Yeah, I don't like it, but the thing is they incredibly looked like they might still have a shot at an unexpected win, even in the 4th quarter. Like it was down to...I want to say at least 11? That's nothing, especially for Steph. It didn't happen because the Rockets hit some 3s and we turned the ball over a few times to seal it, but I kinda see why Kerr maybe wanted to not let the opportunity slip away.

Personally, I don't play jk at all.

Just pointing out what would happen when he did play.

To me, he's always been a losing player.

Totally agree that he wasn't the problem this game, at all. The problem is that he didn't appear to be the solution, at all, either.

Happy for the anti-Kuminga gang. It’s been awhile since you’ve had some actual game footage to tear apart. Good for you guys. Enjoy the next 2 off days of ignoring why we really lost.

I am far from anti-Kuminga. I really believed in the kid for the longest time, basically up until now. You think it's only Steve's decision that he doesn't play when it matters? Guarantee Steph and Dray have some say in that... if Steph thought JK should be getting more minutes, he'd be getting more minutes.

What I just watched? That wasn't basketball. The Rockets aren't guarding, they're tackling. And the play on Butler? One of the dirtiest plays I've ever seen. Right up there with Brooks hitting GP2 on the head and causing him to break his arm.

Warriors have no shot against ANYONE in this league unless Curry and Butler are both playing. Their roster is THAT bad.

If the Rockets manage to win the series? They'll never let them get away with doing this to the Lakers. Imagine Lebron getting his legs cut out from him the way Jimmy just did. Thompson would be suspended for the rest of the playoffs if that happened.

What a shameful league Adam Silver runs.

On second look, I don't think it was intentional. It was dangerous and a whole lot of bad luck.

Amen was pushing through for the rebound and tried to swim under dray. Dray stalled him with his arm then let him go.

Momentum took care of the rest.

Intention doesn’t matter. It was a dangerous and reckless play. The literally gave dray a t for removing Sengun arm from his neck.
