    Warriors playing 10 guys vs our 8 man rotation… just an observation, not sure what to make of it

    jalen was smart to sign that contract before the season. god knows he wouldn't be getting anything like that with us if he was a RFA.

    Jalen is playing like complete ass, but we all knew this was a real possibility.

    this is why no mid range, tear drop, floater is killing the team.

    all they do is put their head down and drive to the basket. they ain't gon call that shiet.

    This game shouldn't be close. Somehow it is within reach. That's hard to believe.

    Jeff Green and Holiday can at least shoot. I’m not crazy about this short bench.

    But this is part of it too, it's a lot easier to guard someone knowing you can body check them even when he's jumping into the air.

    If he got all those calls he'd get a lot more shots, and sometimes FTs help a player get into rhythm. It's an issue, not sure what can be done, the refs just have their favored players for whatever reason.

    Butler gets touch calls and Green can get hit on every drive and never get a whistle.

    Maybe he should mention it more, idk, whining about the refs seems to work sometimes I guess, idk.

    Yeah Jalen has one of the worst whistles in the league but after 4 years of that **** you think he'd finally realize that and play for the finish instead of throwing his head back for a call.

    Amen is disappointing. But I'm sure he'll learn and play great in Game 2.

    They HAVE been blowing the whistles, mostly in favor of the Rockets (who have missed 9 FTs).

    Nerves have gotten to Amen. Way too many missed bunnies, but he is still getting boards and much better at pushing into the lane than Jalen. Only way we make this up is with defense and transition.

    Why won’t they at least try to put cam in to hit shots we can’t score for anything
