I watched the Warriors broadcast for this one. They were trying to prove a point in this game. Which they did. A lot of great teams tend to play down to the level of their competition at time's (we used to) and that's what they did with us. They didn't expect us to be as good as we we're (figured they could walk through that game) and they got a little embarrassed. I'm sure Kerr destroyed them after that game. So they came out to prove a point. I think they very much see us as the "little brothers" in this scenario.

Let's be clear tho... They we're waiting for this game. This was a calculated and premeditated masacre. Even if D'Lo and Julius were in the line-up, they were gonna do everything in their power to obliterate us... And they did. They're just that good.

Won't be as harsh on Friday. Should be similar type game tho. I'll be watching the Lakers broadcast on that one... The Warriors commentators are pretty weak.
this is close to a perfect post.

.I'm a Warriors fan but I always watch the oppositions broadcast..I like the Lakers crew..Fitzgerald the play by play guy on the warriors TV is beyond annoying..He's a raging fake homer..That's the worst. But Jim Barnett has been fantastic for decades..It's just too bad he has to partner up with Fitz


Yeah... I don't honestly know which is which but one of the guys is pretty solid. I'm assuming that's Jim Barnett. Has to be. The other guy is horrible though. We're lucky because most of our commentators, at worst, have been decent. I sometimes sit through other teams broadcast to get some outside perspective, but... Not sure I could take too much more of that Fitzgerald guy.
Talking about how bad Julius Randle is:

Barnett is the color analyst, Fitzgerald is the play by play, and he's truly atrocious at it

Well, I watched this one at my buddy's house. Had several families over....got to catching up...talked politics a bit, and kept half an eye on the game. Seemed like Lou was solid, and Ingram did alright. It was no surprise at all what happened. The 145 points or whatever was a little eye-opening...but no Randle, no Russell....and we'd kinda ticked em off with our last 2 wins. I figured we'd get their best shot.

Well....we're a ways away, but if we had our 2 best players (peeps can argue that I guess) I think we'd have done alot better. We got trashed....and so we move on. I don't think this stays with us too much, other than we can let teams score north of 140 points. That's just terrible.

A quick peek at the box score tells me we had 22-assists on 93 shots. They had 47-assists on 86 shots. Thats what I remember seeing. They were moving the ball...slashing, and we weren't so much.

Let's do it again friday. Happy Thanksgiving. Be safe

I was able to watch the first half. We missed a lot of shots at the rim... they got to the rim at will and didn't. They got open 3's. They got open on the pick and roll..... and just about every where else.

It's easy to rack up assists against our defense. We collapse after the initial attack at the point on just about every play. This sends us scrambling and typically ends in an easy shot for the opposition.

Nothing or no one was going to help us last night. GS is a better team and they showed it.

Was on a flight so I missed the game, I guess I should be glad I missed it. Looks like Ingram is starting to find his shot though.
