Warriors vs Pacers || Game 79 ||

KD a little enabled weenie for blaming this "effort" on the coach. We in trouble.

It is becoming more and more apparent just how important Steph is to this team. The Dubs turn into a mediocre team without Steph.

Raymond M. Wood

Only disappointment I feel is towards how badly we got shat on last night. Thanks for the double feature AA

I think the refs really set him off. I really do think we are in for epic playoffs this year.

Athletic Alchemy

thanks!

Athletic Alchemy

He has to just accept the refs will be bad..he acts shocked every game. I think thats what really starts the frustration.

Athletic Alchemy

Im confident Dray will flip the switch and lead like we know he can. KD...I can't front! Im concerned with his psyche right now.

Athletic Alchemy

The proofs in the pudding! KD needs to just let his game do the talking.

Athletic Alchemy

Thats a good point! Im just hypersensitive to health, seeing how things have been. That game just had me nervous because we were getting embarrassed and the refs weren't calling anything. Thats just a bad recipe.

Athletic Alchemy

I think we avoid the Jazz altogether unless they beat Houston in the second round. They should stay at 4.

Athletic Alchemy

I agree with you alchemy after the first half I turned the game off. Especially after a win against okc. I think they came in to this game thinking they'll win just on talent. I do think KD needs to go in the post and draw doable teams and get warriors open looks. I think KĎ needs to get out of the mindset that he will always have curry besides him and take a stronger leadership of the team as curry injuries may limit his games. When I say stronger leadership I don't mean just Jack up a bunch of shots I mean getting everyone involved and making it easier on everyone else. With great ability comes great responsibility. Either way I think this team will go all the way and this road of adversity will make the repeat even more sweeter!

good call to break down the minnesota denver game! looking forward to it

It seems as if for every good game the Warriors have, they need to have 3 equally bad or even worse games to go with it. It doesnt make any sense. I mean for a game like this, the only bright side I can see I guess, bringing them back down to earth before the playoffs? Thats the only upside I can see. But if play like this continues, they could easily get swept in the 1st round against the Jazz if it comes to that. Right now its looking like it will be the Pelicans. And I have pretty good confidence theyll do fine against NOL. But if somehow the Jazz drop down to 7th seed, and the Warriors play like this???????? Mark my words, they WILL be swept. I dont believe theyll play like this. But my god. Seeing them capable of being that bad was quite concerning.

Great stuff as usual! I disagree on the Kerr stuff. I believe the starters last night are the starters we will have for at least the first round in the playoffs (possibly a different center). How many games have they played together? IDK but I know it is too damn few. They have got to work on integrating Cook and that is hard to do if they are slacking off. Kerr gave them another chance to work at it in the 4th quarter. If this was are normal lineup who have been playing together for a long time then there would be no need to give them more practice together. This was the most disappointing game of the season for me because it was our new play-off first string lineup and they played like crap. Even if everyone can flip a switch for the playoffs, they still need to learn how to integrate Cook when the squad is not dysfunctional.

Agree AA, hearing that Kerr gave em the what for makes it a lot easier for me to turn the page on this one. The ball is in the players court now...no matter what KD might think/say.

Steven Stanley

a lot of things are going wrong, i'll just narrow it to lack of toughness.. from their current leaders dray n KD arguing with the refs and not playing smart aka turnovers n bad shots.

We clearly can’t guard the 3 this year

This loss felt like I got stabbed with it was so bad, it was clearly a lack of effort and communication on defense and this always happen when they underestimate their opponents. Durant was throwing up shots I don’t want him taking 10 3s a game he isn’t steph. I would like to see him draw a couple more double team and get open shots for his team. I think he was baited in taking couple shots trying to prove he was better than the guy guarding him. He clearly has gotten use to steph gravity because whenever he gets doubled he gets annoyed and starts playing like ass happened with the timberwolves and with the bucks. Idk man I just want the chef bk kd ain’t the leader we need

I think a total of 4 teams are still in play for a possible 1st round matchup. 1. OKC- HOU/MIA/MEM last games 2. SAS- POR/SAC/NOP last games 3. MIN- LAL/MEM/DEN last games 4. DEN- LAC/POR/MIN last games With that being said, I personally think SAS is the best matchup out of this 4 because they are not the best 3 point team, even tho I know Pop is the coach. OKC, I still believe that it will always be a competitive match whenever Russ and KD goes head to head and it’s just a matter of who shows up first, PG13 or Klay, which will be the deciding factor. MIN is okay matchup if Cook can really turn it up next week. Though I think Damian would be fantastic if Kerr had the guts to play him in a playoff game. DEN, their guards is just what worries me, plus high altitude and Jokić. NOP is the Absolute best matchup but I’m calling it, their getting bounced out.
