    for the warriors



    All the focus on the iso offense is just wrong. Defense was the problem tonight. It was a combination of just plain old bad defense and our missed shots leading to open shots the other way.

    The warriors pace drowns you on offense

    @SamFisher keeps on telling me that the Warriors just hit a crap ton of contested shots.

    And yes, iso ball was PART of the problem. Dribbling the air out of the ball while 4 Warriors were essentially having a 20 second timeout during every defensive possession for them was PART of the reason for the defeat.

    Durant did. @SamFisher is right. The non Durant warriors scored differently than the warriors named Durant

    If you’re 7 feet tall, shooting over a 6’6 defender isn’t exactly contested

    this is definitely part of it, it doesn't matter how bad our switch is, we should never leave Klay wide open, he made those shots at very high rate. Plus our defense often lost in semi fast break, especially Green and Harden (I know he did a LOT on other end).

    He literally stated that was the Warriors offense tonight...

    How can you say that when they had the most uncontested looks this postseason?

    I believe he said that was the warriors offense when Kevin Durant had the ball. Durant went into isolation constantly and just shot over people. Are you denying that?

    Iso has been efficient all season, stop listening to TNT and think for yourself

    Their defense fueled their offense . Most of their uncontested looks were in transition .

    He hit a bunch of threes in transition.

    But people keep saying we need to run more and play faster lol.

    We had more defensive lapses than Golden State did. Also, Harden could not stay in front of Curry since he was gassed on offense.

    Let's face it, guys. Golden State is more talented and better coached. We need a hail mary to beat them in a 7-game series.

    Exactly . Those are all fixable issues plus doubling Durant are all the adjustments that can help us get back us in it

    They will just hit more threes and get wide open layups if we double Durant. Warriors ball movement is too good

    I’ll take my chances on Green or Iggy taking threes then a guy like Durant who just doesn’t miss. If Green and Iggy hit them then you just say you guys are to good and call it a day

    Go for it.

    That's when Curry goes off.
