This looks like a scheduled loss. I can't ever recall a time when the Dubs were missing 5 rotation players for a game. They had to call up Damian Jones just to have another warm body on the bench. I wonder if Kerr can still hit a few 3's if he gave himself 5 minutes of playing time tonight.

This will probably not go well but they did pull out a win last night. Just never nearly as much fun without Steph in the lineup. It’ll probably come down to the usual things: unforced turnovers, is Klay hot or cold, are they going to play defense casually, and can they get anything resembling NBA players out of the bench?

Don't know where the Warriors offense is going to come from. Or their defense. Or their rebounding...

Dubs just playing some bad basketball this last 2 minutes of the first half.

I have zero confidence in Shaun going into the playoffs, he's gonna get worked in any matchup.

Is Shawn Livingston a rookie? Or just hasn't learned how to play basketball yet? Why in the world do you foul someone shooting a 30-footer with the clock winding down? He has to be a rookie - no one could stay in the league for more than a year or two without learning that. Geez....

Livingston always fouls someone shooting a three.

We are losing our defensive composure again.

You mean foul to give at the end of a Q? It's to stop the clock, the idea is the other team will often try to hold for one so if they go late you foul with say 4 and now they have to get a shot from an inbounds in that time.

what I thought , but wouldnt most teams have designated plays for that though ?

Our inability to defend the 3, which had been a strength the past several years, is really hurting us this year.
