Great win last night. We hung tough all game and finished the 4th strong after being down 10. Curry's 3 pt shooting was pretty bad last night, but he made some very very key plays in the game. Especially on drives. Klay is getting consistent too. Jan. sched was real tough and we are doing better than I expected with the win vs. clips and OKC.

Westbrook was real bad, and Durant faded some down the stretch. Probably do to the back to back games they had with Clips, then us. I don't know what Durant was doing on that pass, unless it was supposed to come back to him.

I felt like we really stole that game. I do hope Curry and/or Lee get named to the All Star Game. We haven't had an all star since 97 with Spree..lol. However, I think both need rest too from there heavy minutes and ankle injuries so if they didn't make it, it is also a good thing, they can use all star weekend to rest up.

I think both Lee and Curry should be all-stars this year.

We are just not a smart team and our coach has poor gameplans and substitions. It's really starting to hurt this team. It's amusing that our coach does not believe in calling timeouts to stop runs. He also loves going small, even when we are getting throttled in the paint. The bucks had 22 offensive rebounds. And Mjax refusing to go big. Just really no clue what the hell that is. And when we go small we don't even push the ball. So what in the hell is the point? Moving David Lee to center only puts the opponents center on him, and there goes your inside game. Just really not smart at all.

We take terrible shots. For every good game Klay has, there are 5 horrible ones. He is also good for a layup miss a game. Lee thinks he is a perimter shooter now. We just do not play smart at all. I wish we had a coach that gets into these guys when they play bad basketball. We constantly jump at defenders and leave our feet all the time it's so frustrating. Our coach just chills on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.

One side note, Milwaukee has to be a hard team to watch too. They play chaotic, throwing up shots from everywhere. Jennings literally ran, leaped and shot a 3 pointer at one point.

Bogut returns.....

Here's the thing with the small lineups though...there have probably a half dozen games at minimum that were won down the stretch using the Jack/Curry/Klay/Lee/Landry(or Green) lineup. So you kinda have to take the good with the bad imo.

Tough fought victory for the dubs, needed a solid 4th quarter to win the game. Curry left at the end of the 3rd and never came back with a right ankle sprain. Barnes fell down awkwardly by a really dangerous foul by Gray. Don;t know the status of their injuries for tomorrow. Bogut will not play back to backs until after the all star break.

Bogut looked really good. So nice to have a big man in the game that can actually contribute to offense, block shots, and be a player the opponent has to worry about. With Beans and Festus, basically they are just there for rebounding.

I'm getting a little frustrated with David Lee's play. He is not boxing out on rebounds and playing some really bad defense. Gray was able to get 8 quick pts just off of rebounds that Lee didn't secure a box out. Then Davis came in and lit him up for a few buckets. Then on the other end, Lee was settling for the outside shot way too much. He looks frustrated out there. He just needs to get back to basics and he will be fine.

Gonna be a tough one tomorrow in Clev on a back to back.

Mark Jackson says as good as Damian Lillard is, it's not fair to compare him to Kyrie. "Kyrie Irving may be best point guard in basketball."

:wave:

 

[godspeed]

Klay stepped it up big time tonight. NO Curry, Bogut, Barnes, Landry. The bench and subs did a great job to step it up on a back to back on the road. Good win.

:wave:

He's not even in the top 20 in assists per game among point guards. He's a really good player but he has nothing on Derrick Rose.

Right, because raw statistics are the best way to judge talent. And why are you using Derrick Rose as your example? He isn't even in basketball right now, and if he were, he'd still be the 2nd best point by far.

I dunno how many times I have to defend Kyrie's assist numbers to yall. Guess you guys don't watch the Cavs on a nightly basis, but no body on this team can score besides Kyrie on a consistent basis. Waiters will have his good games, but he isn't reliable. When Varejao was in the lineup, Kyrie would get 5 assists just to him a night... Now he has no one to pass the ball to. Team is full of bums.

Don't hate him when leaves like Lebron did.

W's gaining some ground on the injured Clips. A win at Houston would be nice since we lost 8 straight there, and tomorrow will be tough at OKC.

 

[godspeed]

Last night was a total debacle. Cannot believe Mark Jackson played zone defense through much of that shooting barrage. To Houston's credit, they knocked down shot after shot, never seen anything like that. They were 14/17 at one point and Jackson didn't use timeouts to stop runs or switch up much on defense, frustrating to sit through that.

On the flip side I know it's a record, but there was really no reason for Houston to keep jacking up threes midway through the 3rd with a 20 pt lead. I mean 40 3 pt fg attempts?? Really neccesary? Bogut wasn't too happy based on his tweet..lol.

 

[godspeed]

Warriors playing some bad basketball again tonight. And the Thunder are one of the best teams if not the best team in the league.

We lost because we played very poorly and OKC is a great team.

But one of the frustrating things from tonight are the damn officials. I know Ibaka is a great defender, and OKC has some great players, but some of these non calls are absolutely embarassing. How do officials get away with this? W's getting clobbered inside and OKC coming away with blocks and no calls So frustrating. Same thing with some of these steals and balls going out of bounds. Just straight up horrible officiating. Officiating would probably just make the game closer, it did not factor in us losing in any shape or form. But I felt I needed to vent and mention it..lol.

 

[godspeed]

First half Jackson plays a zone and we get torched like we have all week. 2nd half we go man and get back in the game and play way better defense. I just don't understand we we still play this busted zone.

 

[godspeed]

Something's not right with this team. After all the positive build up and optimism the first half of the season brought, I really really do not like how we closed out the first half of season the last week and a half.:smh:

 

[godspeed]

Big trade rumors making the rounds today = Eric Gordon to the W's for Klay, Draymond, and Beans.
