    They have ran that double drag DHO in reg season with some good results. I think next game we should do everything possible to get Green driving lanes. We screened for Green 28-30 ft out game 2 with great results but stopped doing that game 3-6 for some reason. Green plays best with ball in his hands and when he’s aggressive. It’s just seems he shies away from aggression to the paint sometimes when heavily doubled. We need to pull out all the stops. Pistol, downscreens, double drags, 30 ft screens to get him open and make plays for Amen and others.

    Just read a Warriors fan complain about the freethrow discrepancy.

    Cant wait til steph retires and all these "warriors fans" pick up new hobbies.

    Jabari's handles are the reason the tall 3 is a rarity.

    That's because Tari sometimes falls asleep on motion offense and he can also be a little undisciplined wanting to get the steal so it puts him slightly out of position. Green isn't doing that.

    Jalen Green’s problem is he does not have a reliable floater in his bag nor does he finish through contact well. He also doesn’t exaggerate the contact he gets when he drives as much, so he doesn’t get those calls as often as others. His jump shot running very hot and cold doesn’t help either.

    Hindsight is 20/20, he learned from it. Best coaching game by Ime. There was a point where they did a hack-a-adam and Ime quickly brought Sengun back in who promptly decided to do a put back off Adam’s miss.

    Idk what it is about the Warriors but for Jalen’s career he doesn’t play well against them. He only averages 13ppg against them for his career (the lowest against any team).

    it’s astonishing how much he’s allowed to get away with and how the refs constantly let him and Steve Kerr yell in their face

    me personally, I couldn’t tolerate that level of disrespect…if I was a ref and Darth Mule was all up in my face like that, I’m pulling out the tranquilizer and injecting Donkey right then and there…have a nice nap

    Hopefully Amen won't get a concussion from hitting the floor earlier.

    Draymond angling for the calls again. Now they want 3 second calls. Freaking crybabies…

    Yeah. Ime had to call a timeout to rip him a new one. Jalen picked up cutters *every time*. Especially Steph. Jalen doesnt have a great NBA body....but hes uniquely built to keep up with Steph. Outside of Amen and Fred no one else on the team can do that.

    As he gets older and more experience, Tari will learn to not have his aggressiveness used against him as much. That aggressiveness is why he commits so many “low-IQ” fouls on shooters for a player with his defensive skills and acumen.

    Green has been disappointing against GSW. If we can get through to the next round, he might surprise us. He should not be traded for anything less than a haul. He may never be a consistent 3 pt shooter, but I seen no reason with more off-season work he can’t get stronger and develop some kind of mid game. If he had a floater or a stop and pop jumper he would average 25 pts a game on decent efficiency. Amen was a deer in the headlights his first few playoff games, but look at him now. We don’t win these last 2 games without his contributions.. No reason to give up on Jalen.

    if you watch JG move on defense it’s almost none stop and he’s communicating well (prob the loudest he ever talks) lol I respect it cause he makes himself almost unsittable

    He definitely needs a floater. He trusted the mid range shot in March, but seems to have just forgotten that since.

    He can finish through contact when he doesn't try to avoid it. He just seems to be trying to avoid it all series for some reason. Can't play that way.
