    Well, I guess one quarter is not that bad compared to an entire 6 games.

    I blame Jalen, man was so fking scared of his stats kept just passing it to sengun to bail him out.
    Not sure if that was designed but sengun faltered and green was useless.
    Doesn't help our offense ball movement is nonexistent with fvv at pg, no fking open looks, ez buckets

    EG was his big brother his entire rookie year lol.. not surprised it rubbed off on him. But yea agreed, he needs to have more of a Steven Adams like mentality.

    Alpi played weak as hell in the 4th. Probably running on fumes but still would've liked to have seen him get strong post position early in the shot clock and demand the ball or at least his early commitment to getting post position would have let the Rockets swing the ball from the perimeter and find an open man with the Warriors overcommiting on helping out on Alpi.

    Desperately needs some sort of shot. Not even a 3pt shot, just a shot. And not that ****ing flamingo. Has no shot and no touch around the rim.

    When they leave him open FT line extended, needs to take it and make it with confidence. Now obviously leaving him open for a reason.

    For the entire series (not just a game or two or three), he was probably our best player.
    Fred came on later. Amen as well. Brooks was “ok” I guess?

    Now you can look at that two ways.

    “If he’s our best player, we’re in some deep doo-doo.”
    Or “Alright, surround him with the necessary pieces/help.”

    He had the Hook shot all night but he kept hesitating. Take that shot every time if they’re going to give it to you

    He added strength this summer and ****ed up his touch. Now that he has strength, he can once again work on his touch.

    Next season, will be big, I think. I hope.

    Blaming Sengun is dumb. Besides Fred, he has been the most dependable player this series. Sengun tried to get people involved. And I loved that he missed two shots in the fourth and yelled and threw his towel down in the first timeout. He knew he was messing up. He still tried. That's what I want. Win or lose means nothing to me. Give effort. That's what I want. Jalen did nothing.

    Sengun had a bad game by his standards for sure, but that's not why we lost.

    I think some fans are trying to deflect from Jalen lol Jalen is literally the reason we lost this series no one else needs to be mentioned in the same sentence or context as him. He needs to go.

    I've been saying all season Alpi needs to master open 8-12 footers.

    It's almost as if the GS coaching staff watched film of Alpi all season and saw what all of us already knew: That Alpi just could not shoot the ball outside of 6 feet and therefore Draymond could guard him fairly easily.

    Alpi's basketball IQ is his best trait. Nothing can ruin his offensive game. Maybe the *system* could be improved, but Alpi individually is only going to get better from here on out.

    Sengun’s not a superstar, and if you can flip him for one, you do it no hesitation. His true shooting in the series was under 50%!!! That’s rough. Way too many folks here are pumping him up way beyond where he really is.
