Who invited the JaVale McGee from the Lakers series to this game?

Probably his best game as a GSW. He has not played much.. but earned more.

Nugs have some tough bigs... but.....REALLY need to get a shooter or two. There's some base but...you need to make points.

We drafted 3 of em, they're just not ready for major mins yet.

Those three seemed ready in the second half - and they were playing against Curry, Thompson, Durrant, and Green for part of that time. They also played against Iguodala (he of "shut down LeBron" fame). They all had 10+ before most of those guys left the court.

True. I still don't think Beasley should be used as much more than a garbage time guy and Juancho should be a spot minutes 5th big type guy. But I've said it before, and Murray is gonna need major minutes as the season goes on. He's been great in the minutes he's gotten the last couple games.

it's really hard to watch this game

GS was playing in altitude, in a b2b, and we never got the rythm of the game...

maybe starting with twin towers hurts us too much

or maybe we have a bad coach

Probably not the twin towers. Malone didn't start Nurkic in the second half and it didn't matter. GSW got a good start in the 3rd quarter.

Constantly going small is killing this team, last year we were at least somewhat competitive when we kept one of Jokic or Nurkic on the court at all times. There is just not enough shooters with this team to try to compete with a team like the Warriors without using a real inside presence. Sadly enough the Warriors have struggled against teams with good bigs, and we hardly use ours.

Nurkic & Jokic combined had 35 minutes - as for not enough shooters, the Nuggets have six players averaging 40% or better, unfortunately they are not players that play very much

Miller
Hernangomez
Barton
Arthur
Nelson
Beasley

I was at the game, I guess the city hasn't realized that the Nuggets are playing yet, fairly dead arena. Curry started to put on a little bit of a show and that was exciting. Watching Mudiay build a wall of bricks was less than thrilling.

Malone mailed it in early on this one, Nurk with only 17 min? Really liked what I saw out of Beasley

A friend said there were plenty of Warrior fans there.
