    And he’s right. No matter how you slice it or dissect it, you just can’t lose to the warriors without Steph and draymond. You just can’t.

    They need to go back to the drawing board and figure out who they wanna be on offense. This team has no closer.

    Then why didn't he do anything about it? He didn't use his timeout effectively like kerr did.

    He's right. This was a very disappointing effort all around, with Alpi and Jalen being the lead offenders.

    I agree, time to bring back Cam to remind everybody to bring the edge.

    I think Landale deserved minutes tonight as well. Where did he go?

    I think he sacrificed the game to make a point to the starters. He wasn't going to bail them out by sitting them on the bench. His message to them was "fix your mess, make it right".

    Keep playing horrible Jalen over Amen in 4th quarter is dumb coaching.

    It makes no sense.

    The superstar would get you through tough times, there is nobody at this moment, not even a veteran All Star and no Fred ain't it.

    Coaches not reading the game hurt as well. We get on a run and they take out the players doing the damage...............Warriors take advantage of it.

    Agreed. The execution in the 4th was especially soft. Whether it's FVV going overboard because he made a couple of 3's, Jalen throwing it away at the worst moment and also passing out of a 1-on-1 with Looney, Brooks bricking jumper after jumper or Jabari looking like he's surprised to be in the game.

    To be fair to the players, the plan on offense is the softest I've ever seen too. Basically just take whatever the opponent is happy to give you so that you avoid turnovers. Lovely.
