They have invested in him...well not financially, but with developing and its paying off at just the right time.

Kerr has been doing it all yea..its the player in him.

Nah, you never throw a playoff game. If this series goes to 7 games, Round 2 will start April 30. If we sweep, it will start April 28. Two days isn't worth putting stress on our players

That was Loons coming out game, I can't believe how well he guards the smalls. Part of it is he's not a jumper like Bell, Loon does it with his reach so he can stay on the floor and still contest. I'll bet they wish now that they would have exercised his option earlier this year. But it was a tough call then, can't blame them. I want game four, get as much rest as possible, wish Portland would show up. Jrue Holiday scares me..

Yo Alc, given the news that Steph needs more time to heal my guess is that KD will rest GM 4 and the Dubs take the L. Buy time to prepare for the Pels

What vets know, past is prologue, in fact it's a big feature of Steve's coaching that he's always in the players ear at timeouts, recapping what has just happened then reassuring the players what's likely to come next. When you're right as to what will unfold, as Steve often is, it has effect of removing anxiety and letting the players relax and perform. Anderson, now there's a player with anxiety performance, a young p!ayer who's game has diminished to almost nothing. Rotation choices aside, Steve is a very good coach, and let's not overlook that his rotation choices for these playoffs, defensive players first, reflect his taking a look at his rotations and making significantly different choices for the playoffs.

I swear Alchemy, no bullshit, with 7 minutes left, I was like, KD really need to be out there. Can't we get some Swaggy Splashes togo? Few minutes later the reapers on the floor. I was shaking my head, felt like jinx the mother fucker.

Stevie Ray

You did man!

Right they players will always down play it. Im sure they will be, but it dont help. Looney has bee amazing, Ill really pay attention to dray in my edit, I know he has been good, but you hyping him up!

YOOOOOOO, WTF I JUST say about weak ass sorry MFing low key dirty ass Patty Mills. I saw this shit coming last game. He sucks and without his shot doesn't have any game except crowd on you and get up under you to try and be an annoying little gnat. And he's down 17 and gets under KD to try and do what, there's 4 30 left. And oh, KD ain't enough, let me keep playing by "hard nosed basketball" AKA otherwise known as the Aussie Special, and he gets up under S. Dot. Yo Za needs to check him next game. Or DJ since Za can't even grab some garbage time. That was an ungoy game. Dubs had pretty good numbers, except KD from 3 and you right about Loon. Player of game. He must've heard you on the Aldridge break down, and he's getting some confidence, cuz he's playing more aggressive and almost mad. Like he's not 2nd guessing his actions, and he goes after everything

KD said he's all good and Liv said he's fine as well. Mills is a dangerous player bc he's out there diving at guys' legs like Dellavedova. I gotta give Kerr some props tho. Early in the season, when everyone was on the Jordan Bell bandwagon, it was clear that Kerr wasn't ready to buy the hype. He knew he wasn't ready. Kerr knew all the way back in training camp that Looney would be a much improved player and he's stuck by him the whole year. And it's paying off HUGE now. I can't imagine where we'd be without Looney. He is by far the best center on this team. At one point in this game, he was +20 and we didn't even have much of a lead. Such a versatile defender, great rebounder, dirty work player, shot blocker, and fundamentally sound. Even when GSW had the top ranked defense in the NBA the past couple years, I don't ever remember it being at this level. This is the best I've ever seen it. It won't show in the stats, but Draymond is playing out of his mind. His game is so much more nuanced and advanced than anyone else on the court, except for maybe Iguodala. The defense is suffocating teams right now and it's relentless.

Happy for the win hate the circumstance, fans thought we should have given this game to the spurs for pop but I think that would be disrespectful to who pop is. Durant is fine but I don't want him and klay playing near mills, going to game 4 so hopefully I don't have throw hands on mills. The pelicans are looking dangenerous but then again blazers defense is trash and they aren't getting the foul calls they got in the regular season
