    Burden is on the coaching staff now.

    • Need to stop Hampton 5 lineup
    • Slow Durant down
    • Figure out how to make our pick and roll game more effective
    • Slowing down Draymond who’s picking us apart
    • Costly turnovers

    Yup lots of work to do

    All the Warriors did was hold serve. Now we need to protect home court and gain some momentum

    What? We did not look bad, we dominated those series. Won 5 in both. We scored 50 in a quarter in game 4. We beat the Jazz handidly in all those games. And also their switching cancels out a lot of our actions.

    The stupids of the world get listeners. You gotta realize there are way more stupid people that smart people. Even more rare are people who have some type of common sense and are smart.

    Hot takes, blatant stupidity, ignorance and quite frankly, r****ds, get views/clicks. Because everyone is getting dumber everyday.

    When you have a computer in your pocket, people stop learning ****. They depend on that phone/computer to live their lives. So they become dumber. It’s a cycle that will get worse with every generation.

    I’m really starting to believe that movie Idiocracy has had it right all along.

    You know I didn’t agree that he should be banned in the other thread but I’m inclined to think his sole purpose on this board is to rag on Harden. It’s just sadistic

    Cp3 got exploited on the defensive end. Going behind double digits is impossible to overcome, especially against a championship team.

    It is what it is. We cant rebound, it has always been that way. I still like our chances at home. Need to play with urgency. We cant take possessions off.

    Last thing, im impressed at GS defensive schemes that made us uncomfortable. We cant just send the weakest link on an island anymore. Gs has figured that out.

    Im still waiting on clint to assert himself, hes looking like still a couple years away from figuring it out.

    Eh, not really.

    No one is going to talk about Durant top 5 all time. Michael didn't have the most rings but he dominated. Hakeem didn't have the most rings but people will still say he was a top 5 player.

    No one is taking Durant over Lebron or Bird or Michael.

    This is a dude that ran to a stacked team to win rings. No matter how many he gets it's always going to look that way.

    The Warriors will go down as one of the stacked/best teams of all time but individual accolades historically they won't get.

    Klay has more rings than Harden...is he better than Harden?

    It’s maddening because as shitty as we played we could have taken both games if we played like half as bad. But we had to play utterly bad instead.

    That's not even name calling. I've heard far worse on this forum and it was left completely ignored. In my opinion to ask clutch to ban someone because of something like that is childish. It's like the boy who cried wolf. If someone says something racist or hateful, then you tag clutch, but for something like this? It's time to be a man and just stand up for yourself, not call on some authority figure. Basically, don't call 911 if you stub your toe.

    5 players off the bench actually had a positive +/- (Faried +2, Nene +5, Rivers +10, Green +4 Shumpert +5), but MDA really rode the starters hard tonight and they just weren't good enough.

    Most of the bench outside of House played okay. They need to step up even more in Game 3 & 4 and MDA needs to trust them if Capela isn't being useful out there.

    Playing him at center? Yeah, that's trash. That's on the coach. Playing him at the 4 makes a lot more sense.

    I'm not bothered by it. He's venting. I'm venting.

    I'm just going to lay off anything to do with Harden for a bit. I'm clearly frustrated with him and it isn't showing the best side of me.
