For a guy as big as Gallo is, he goes to the rim quite meekly.

This is why we need a go-to scorer or two.

The Clippers' carelessness finally caught up with us. We're lucky to be in OT, but to be honest, we've been playing afraid while the Warriors have been fearless.

The last 3 possessions to close outregulation were pathetic. We're lucky.

Why is Lou Williams chucking bricks one after another in crunch time? :banghead:

On November 3, 2012, the Clippers had focus issues with the Golden State Warriors. Thinking they were a lottery team because they missed the playoffs in the lockout season, the Clippers played lackadaisical, and were punished with a loss for their disrespect. That loss ended up biting them hard, going on to lose the season series 3-1. It took losing Game 1 in their 1st round meeting of the playoffs to finally take the Warriors seriously. But by the time they swapped coaches by bringing Steve Kerr in, it was too late.

Today, for a brief moment, the teams roles were reversed. For a time, it was the Warriors who took the Clippers lightly because of them missing the playoffs last year.

Nice win! I love me some Trezz and SGA. Lou came through in the clutch as well.

And as one user on another thread put it, with "a Sixth Man, an average starter and a role player." That'd be Lou Williams, Danilo Gallinari/Tobias Harris and Montrezl Harrell.

Harrell was playing like Ben Wallace out there.

I have to credit Doc for presumably telling the team heading into overtime to be aggressive and taking it to the Warriors since that was what had the Clippers holding the lead for most of the game. We let the Warriors come back by playing tentatively on offense trying to look for an open lane or work for an open shot, all the while, the Warriors were the ones playing like a team without fear down the stretch in regulation.

Both Lou Williams and Klay Thompson were cold for most of the game, but they certainly showed up for their respective teams at the end of the game. It was a shootout between the two but Lou was up to the challenge in redeeming himself in OT.

I even think Doc made the right call in subbing out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the end. SGA was having the night of his life but the Warriors were feasting on his turnovers at the end of regulation. Montrezl Harrell was our heart and soul throughout the night. He knocked Kevin Durant out with foul trouble and was neutralizing Draymond Green when given the opportunity. He couldn't quite come up with the winning shots at the end of the game, but his energy was certainly a handful for the Warriors to deal with and his presence kept us in the game throughout.

Also, nice to see Jerry West give Bill Russell a sportsman's handshake at the end of the game while Ballmer celebrated a well-deserved Clippers victory. The Warriors were certainly short-handed, but a dangerous ballclub, nonetheless.
