Warriors a no-show so far.

Their 2nd unit look like deer in headlights.

Tiny Warriors lineup

G: CP3
G: Steph
F: Klay
F: Moody
C: Looney

That forward combination is ridiculously small next to that tiny backcourt.

Ahh, Sabonis with his 2nd bailout jumper.

They are leaving you open for a reason. Get your butt in the paint.

Draymond forcing the lob pass. You had a layup. Take it. Only little D Fox back there to challenge you. Take it to the basket.

Stop playing soft.

Warriors need curry (or Klay) to heat up badly

The Warriors needed to tank this season.  They just aren't any good.  Wouldn't be surprised if they win this game, but even if they do, I think the Pelicans beat them.  They can't handle Zion. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Warriors have gone 10 deep. All of them have gotten a decent shot too. Sacramento have only played 8 guys and Alex Len played less minutes (3) than all 10 of GSW's players.

No continuity / cohesion in any of GSW's lineups. Too much chopping and changing. Kerr desperate to find something that works but nobody is answering the bell. Not only is nobody stepping up but I think all this searching for someone to step up is doubling up on the problem and making things worse.

Klay looks so bad…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Hey Nance, your One and ONLY job was to block out Davis on an offensive rebound....you FAILED.....Also, of course Zion strains his little toe and misses crunch time, when he was a having a great game....ugh, of course, everything falls right for LeBron.

Well it didn’t break right then getting Denver. I’ll be at the game Saturday cheering on nuggets

I would expect nothing less, Clay. Also, I was told the Lakers would not be making the playoffs this year!  :laugh:

Bad final 2mins for SAC. Up 10. Lead down to 4.

GSW very lucky to be only down 4. Kinda feels like SAC blew a great chance to knock them out in the first half. They have given GSW new life heading into the 2nd half.

LeBron should have tanked tonight's game. Will be pulling for the Nuggets hard in the first-round.

On the bright side, if they somehow upset Denver then that's one less obstacle in the Celtics' way.  :-X

Imagine tanking this game to avoid Denver and then losing the 2nd one…thst would be a good way to avoid Denver permanently  :laugh:

I guess tanking while paying neatly $400m in salaries and tax might have been tough for Lacob to swallow, though missing out on the lottery won’t help either   :police:

They were +200 to make it a week ago and I didn’t have the guts to pull the trigger on it. If this game had been in Phoenix I don’t think they would have won.now if they somehow beat the nuggets I would be very upset.

They needed to move on from Klay and CP3. Both are shells of themselves and they account for $74M in salary this year.
