    Can’t blame the refs except for the egregious call on Sengun with curry trying to “drive” from half court. That ref had his mind made up to call a foul already.

    Anyways, we gotta be better. We almost look gassed for some reason. Definitely out of sync on offense. Come out strong and bully curry and make the others beat you.

    It’s worked so far (we are winning), but we need to stop the TO’s, giving up ORB’s and rotate on D better.

    Yeah but too often hes passing to sengun out of a blitz while hes at the 3pt line, who cant create from there.

    Green is passing out of it, but the person receiving the ball cant attack fast enough and gsw is rotating back.

    Need more 1-2 screens with fred tbh or amen

    The 80s had plenty of offense. The late 90s - early 00s was the nadir of offense.

    This is another must win. No better chance to steal one in Oakland than this. Butler will be back next game.

    We're not going to survive both Sengun and Jalen looking so lackadaisical offensively and the team as a whole bricking half their free throws again.

    The turnovers were actually much better in the 2nd quarter. They have 6 so far, but 5 of those were in the 1st quarter. The Warriors also have 6, so the teams have played to a standstill there.

    As a backup at a very discounted rate. We need a legitimate pg.

    The offense should run thru sengun every position.

    they are double teaming green once he gets the ball.

    Make them double sengun

    This is the CONSISTENCY everyone talks about regarding Jalen.....score 30+ and then disappear...5 so far. Gotta have more. Not shooting enough and ZERO ASSTS. Hope FVV 4/10 doesn't morph into 5/17 or so.

    Ime is using his 8-man rotation again. The problem is that Alp and Amen play heavy minutes and have to blitz Steph on top of their heavy responsibilities totally mess up their offense. He should have Jeff and Holiday to get some burns.

    He does try. But, when the other players just stand like statues, there isn’t much he can do. Fred may be the point guard, but whatever coach designed these plays should be fired. Maybe our players don’t have the skills needed, but the coaches have to do better. We lack players that can create and score. I want changes made in the offseason.

    They have no idea how to use him and its sad.

    I feel like he's going to be one of those players that breaks out on his 2nd team.

    Jimmy Butler will only get his back worse. Jumping up and down might reaggravate the injury. Might get a injection.
