Terrible call on Smart. Those happen on almost every possession.

We deserve to lose at this point. Playing lazy offense just chucking threes. Not willing to work for better shots. No off-ball movement.

The ball movement just isn't there.  Taking the first 3 pointer we see.  Awful

Did the Warriors take their heart?

How is that a foul on Griffin?

Grant’s going at Kawhi. I love it.

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.

Usually that would have been a pass by Grant to Smart. Instead Grant tries to drive against a defender. The ball movement just isn’t there.

Their passes have been getting deflected so maybe they are second guessing a bit?

What's wrong with Al?

Out with covid

Ah, thanks. We seem to miss him, especially his offensive savvy..

Yeah, not sure what's going on, but we're clearly not moving the ball like earlier in the season.

I'll say, while Kawhi is scoring well, he does look like he's lost a step on both sides of the ball. Not quite as springy or with the really quick first step. Much more methodical about everything.

Kornet getting abused. Not sure the rationale for bringing him in against this lineup without Zubac out there.

Incredible how similar this game is to the GSW game.
