    Brooks is starting to get a reputation of not showing up in the playoffs. He was very disappointing and did not play well at all on both ends. After the year he had it was inexcusable.

    I mean Brooks was never a star player so I am not fazed by that......his inconsistent Defense is concerning.

    I might have underestimated the Worriers, guys are a dark horse. Thrived in Chaos.

    Obviously Steve Kerr is a far better coach than Udoka.

    Kerr is playing 12 guys and their scrubs can keep the big lead even without Curry.

    Udoka never dare to play our role players.

    Somehow GSW is controlling enough Offensive rebounds so that Wolves cannot get close.

    Ant with 23pts 14 rebounds in his worst game. Overracting? No.

    We would have beaten Warriors now if Jalen could give us 17 pts a game.

    With Curry out they're almost certainly going to lose this series.

    We wore that whole team down with our intense, physical defense and forcing them into a hard-fought 7 game series.

    I do not like Steve Kerr as a person, he does a lot of slimy stuff. He can champion Green stomping on players faces, kicking guys nuts, punching players, etc. But he’s out there in shambles crying to the league, the media, etc if his players get roughed up.

    He engages in mind game coaching better than any other coach in the league. His facial expressions, his propensities to chummy up with referees, his ability to whine to the media attack dogs, etc…

    But he not only prepares his players of the games, he inserts himself into the psyche of the referee’s. The Rockets had this series won, but Kerr once again inserted his high IQ brain to steal the series from the Rockets.

    I hate him, but he may be the best coach in the league.

    He is the James Harden of coaching. He can take advantage of all of the rules better than any of his peers.

    Unfortunately the league allows Kerr to do his shenanigans, meanwhile they singled out Harden while letting other superstars exploit the foul fishing techniques he innovated.

    He definitely looks smart for playing all these guys most people have never heard of. To be honest, even after watching our series I don't have a sense of how good or scrubby they are. But he gave them confidence and experience (also we gave them confidence by setting them up for a ton of open 3s that they hit, but whatever).
