AD and Austin needs to step up. We are not winning with AD taking jump shots. He needs to pound it inside. Reaves doesn't look like himself this game.
Rui, Bron and Dennis keeping us in the game. We can still turn this game around. Secure the defensive boards.

AD played 21 min that half. Too much imo.

AD has a whopping 4 points, 8 of 9 Warriors who played in the first half outscored him including Looney, Divindenzo and Green.

And until they stop to play like the Warriors and does his job. Like they are small inside with that line up dominate them inside what a hell are you doing chucking threes speeding up the plays. Players like Russell are a problem or Reaves today because they aren't smart

Klay revealed the game plan. Simple. Get physical with AD. Get more drives to the basket. Cut down and limit our free throw trips

We are not winning this if we try a shoot out with the Warriors. Try to score inside. Post up AD and Bron. That is our advantage.

Lebron and AD is of a past generation. They are no longer relevant in a modern championship style basketball game.
You heard me, lebron?
You're no longer relevant.

We are very bad on defense. And as a fan of Austin I'll say this is probably his worst game that I saw.

It won’t matter if AD pulls off another Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde tonight.
Warriors are 6 points favorite, oddsmakers might have seen tendencies from AD before after having a monster game.
Wow, okay?

Ya. Called it before the game.
Some are living in a fantasy world, they don't really know how we roll.. and it's not just us, it's happening with every team in the league.
It's just how the world works, chances are astronomically low to win the first two games on the road in the playoffs. Odds are even lower to win Game 2 after winning Game 1. I don't think it happens in more than 10% of the cases.
Warriors are extremely hot from 3, unsustainably hot IMO, especially on the road. We're gonna have an easier path at home.
They were ridiculously bad all season long on the road as well, two wins in Sacramento don't mean that much, that team plays no D and are very green experience wise. We'll bounce back.

They kept AD busy on defense in the paint and roughed him up on the other side. He demoted himself to spectator again. We can’t win when he’s a half dead fish. Is he stoned every fourth game?
More influential to the outcome was another player, though. Kerr ran almost every play through which ever side a certain guard of ours who plays no-contact matador clown defense parked his ass. Five of their first seven buckets went right through Russell. I stopped counting. For those who watch it on 2x speed replay or something it’ll be embarrassingly obvious. It almost looked like GSW attacked his flank on every possession throughout the game, but I had company so I was only half watching.
Adjustment needed, Ham! Or we lose game three at home. Now they know how to get an open lane right into AD’s chest.
It was good to see Rui get some minutes. Give him some more of Brown’s minutes. And I’d start to shift some of Reaves’ minutes to Lonnie unless Reaves raises his game in game three at home. GSW figured out how to make AR uncomfortable. He’s normally our third best player but he looked like a real scrub so far in this series.
It’s glaringly obvious that D Lo can’t be hidden on defense anymore. What we gain offensively with him on the court is a lot, but I think he lost us more points than he netted us yesterday. Not hating, just stating.
Their 3-2 zone is stifling to our offense. Figure it out AD!

Didn't see the game. On paper, splitting the first 2 road games is a great outcome. Losing by almost 30 in G2 while G1 was a close call isn't.
We can't have key players taking a day off. AD 11 Points? You can't have those games my man.
