No matter what, Butler's passiveness is the biggest part of the problem for tonight's loss.

This Warriors team should not give up 39 point quarters.

Whats the thought process of Podz getting 40 minutes a night? Kerr is desperate all game to get him in like he's getting prime Chris Mullin in. Might be a bit of an overestimation on the talent level.

It was a matter of time where Ant has one of those flurries.

With Moody, at least he'd shoot the 3 and if he turns the corner he might be able to finish. Podz has played scared nearly all series.

Well atleast Jimmy will have energy to be aggressive in game 5 right?

The team, and especially the young guys, will follow the leader... and the leader can't come into a game like this with such low energy. Baffling and totally unexpected.

Is the "joy" lost again without Batman? I mean he tries at times but he's been defended very well.

Tough luck guys, if Steph is healthy, I'm picking you all over the Wolves. But yeah, this is exactly what you can expect from Jimmy; we've seen it over the past 3 years.

Glad Podz took that shot but man is he off. Leaving him in might be doing more damage than good right now. Sounded like the crowd was starting to boo after that miss.

Podz is not a starter. Dude should be coming off the bench

It's good they are fighting back, but this is what happens when the team is overly dependent on Curry saving their a**ses every game. They have no identity every time Curry sits down.

And what the hell is JImmy doing?

He's taken 2 less FGA than Draymond.
