Kerr should pull Butler. If he doesn't want to participate why be on the court?

thats what happened when you cant draft players...your so called future HOFers Podz and JK are outplayed by NAW and Jaden M...lol this team needs to trade pretty much everyone on the roster

This loss has nothing to do with the coach lol. Why do some of you go straight to the coach anytime they lose? There's simply no answers on this roster without Steph. This team just beat LeBron and Luka in 5 games, and you think it's Kerr's fault that the Warriors are losing without Steph, and with Jimmy playing like Wiggins?

I would be happy if they pulled Podz for Looney, Looney is stable. Its tough watching Podz get abused for 40 minutes on both ends, I feel like most NBA coaches wouldn't put a guy going through a 4 for 24 stretch in this spot.

Blaming Kerr again I see.

Going small here was required. Its like empty net in hockey. Its very unlikely to work. But its more likely to work than the alternatives.

It was the right thing to do; they were just doomed regardless.

Why are we still playing everyone down 20 in the 4th having to travel to Minnesota?

That third quarter was tough, these Warriors without Steph are not built for that kind of comeback.

Yeah this one isn't on Kerr. No matter what he does with this line up, Wolves are just much better than us without Steph.

So annoying when fans try to blame the coach. It's rarely the coaches fault unless they make a REALLY bad decision (i.e., Daigneault fouling strategy at the end of G1 of Den-OKC). The fact that the Warriors almost won Game 3 and were leading at the half this game is more of a testament to Kerr's game plan than anything.

Probably doesn't really matter anyway. If Minnesota even brings their C game on Wednesday, that's more than likely enough, barring Jimmy and JK combining for like 80 points.

What's annoying is when you see Kerr doing losing moves that have a history of losing and people rush in to defend him.

Get Giannis and trade everyone. Surround him and Steph with shooters.
