    Few whistles aside, Kerr said it best: Golden state just didn't really play any defense, at all, in any quarter.

    Agree. It was especially weird seeing a discombobulated Thompson and Curry. At times they seemed like they just got out of bed and walked on the court by mistake.

    I stayed up but it was easy on the west coast of course. Mrs. B-Bob was all like, "why do you keep checking your phone and snickering?"

    Feels like their players have very little respect for Kerr.

    That can go both ways. Green is working on his game, presumably, and Kerr seems more interested in taking questions from the media. What Green is doing might help win a game. What Kerr is doing is not, in my opinion, unless massaging his ego is going to somehow make him a better coach.

    That's an interesting way of looking at it. I guess you have a point.

    Maybe. Think of the potential! ;)

    Kidding aside, if I were Green working on my game after a brutal loss like that at home, Kerr’s repeated requests to “turn it down” so he can talk to the media would really tick me off. Thank god, I’m not Green!

    I don't think the Clippers have won their last game.

    This series reminds me of the Rockets vs. Lakers in the 2009 WCSF.

    This is rich considering how much his own guys flop.

    My guess is that Kerr isn’t required to have them in the gym where his players are practicing.

    This is classic Kerr having to plant the seed for tomorrow night.

    It's not a good sign for the Warriors to have to employ this in round 1. The whiff of desperation is faintly wafting.

    Expect video clips of Hardn to be forwarded to the league office by Bob Meyers next round.

    Considering the 2009 Lakers went on to crush everyone after that and easily win the title I think this is a pretty shitty omen
