    That's just Ime being Ime.

    If we had a competent coach, a lot of things would be different.

    He played 8 mins until late in the 3rd...15. mins. for the game.Shooters shoot...same thing FVV and JG and Holiday did .he took 2 shots (after the late 3rd..was 2/6).Trust me...he was not the reason the starters came back in.
    I believe they said we had been outscored 21-7 when the starters came in...that's SEVEN ! Only scored 24 for the qtr...the LOWEST qtr. of the game. We scored 40,36,31 and 24 by qtr.

    Amen is doing a very good job in general, but I would like to see more Jalen Green on Curry at the point of attack. Jalen can be a very good one-on-one defender if he wants to, and he has lighter feet than Amen and can stay with Steph very well, IMO.

    Not to mention the straight up push from Post and Draymond on Alpi and Amen tonight and all series long that don't get a technical. No intention to go for the ball.

    Man Ime has been getting a lot of crap this playoff series. Even in the wins he can’t coach a consistent game

    FVV playing the best he's played all season. If he can keep this up, we have a chance to win game 6.

    ...and if we make it to game 7 in Houston, we will win by double digits.

    Rockets in 7.

    Jalen is a bad off-ball defender, and gets pwned by physicality. But Curry is not physical, and if you put Jalen up-front, then when the ball swings you have better defenders behind that can sniff out the actions that Draymond, Buttler, Podz would be cooking... Green can stay with Curry if he puts the effort.
