Intereresting, Butler's sitting at 17 minutes out of 24, that's a pace of 34 minutes for the game.

Buddard is doing too much, Podz needs to be handling the ball not Buddard. Too many players, playing to their weaknesses.

"Who is this Kuminga fellow? He's got some real ability."

Wish they had went Butler or Looney towards the end of the half, they started to get buckets but the defense did not hold up.

Not impressed with Minnesota. I think the Dubs can win this series.

Down by 17, boy that first 5 man sub group that went down 10 in less than 3 minutes killed GS.

I guess this is a good game to try to get everyone minutes to see who can and can't handle the pressure.

Kuminga has not been a focus. Jimmy is being funneled into Gorbert and he is trying to make the right play

Dude he's 5-5 from the floor in a game where nobody else can score. Let's pump the brakes on the criticism a little lol.

Jk looks to have found a rhythm. Also looks like a tjd series. Some bright spots. If we can just score some buckets we can get back into this

What a joke!

You hate on JK before he even checks into the game...I bet if he had a positive +/- you would say it is the dumb stat that it actually is.

i am not criticizing just saying he is not helping to win right now. he gets his points but not doing much on anything else especially on the other end.

Kuminga hasn't looked good out there but yeah, he's 5-5 and is doing better overall then a number of players. I'd absolutely play him any minutes without Butler in the game at this point. Sadly he's one of the best options with everyone else ******* the bed. TJD looked like the pressure wasn't getting to him..

Earth to Charles: Jimmy cant be aggressive because he cannot beat long defenders who stay down. This isnt the regular season. No one is buying Jimmys pump fake.

We've been saying this for four years. I think its over for Kuminga and him doing all of the small things.

It's more of the fact that Jimmy hasn't even tried to do his famous "playoff Jimmy" first option theatrics.

The real issue is Butler not being able to get his shot off and the fact that the defense is horrible. Curry being out shouldn't crater the defense.

Yea I’ve always been worried about Jimmys offense. There’s no real weak link he can attack plus they have Rudy to close the paint. I’m really not sure Jimmy has another gear to take over even if there’s no injury
