Mark Jackson
On Tonight's Game:
"I believe what we witnessed - in this league you think it's over and you begin to freestyle and adlib and all of a sudden you give a team hope and life. When we started that fourth quarter, we could've knocked them out and they would've been ready to play their bench guys and surrender, but we didn't when we had the chance too. They fought back, give them credit. They battled, they got underneath our skin, and we didn't respond individually or collectively."
On The Grizzlies:
"They got underneath our skin and we no longer looked to be aggressive. More importantly, I'm not concerned about anything offensively, we gave up 39 fourth quarter points, we gave up 16 fast break points all of them in the 4th quarter. Those are glaring issues. We gave up ten second chance points in the fourth quarter. We allowed them to take over this basketball game."
On Watching The Team Lose A 4th-Quarter Lead:
"I've been in this league a long time and I've been part of teams that gave away leads and I've been part of teams that surged back and won games. I know how realistic it is to win or lose a ballgame when you are clearly dominating going into the fourth quarter. It's disappointing because we are a team that needed a win; we're a team that was playing very good basketball up until that point. We have to realize you have to play every possession, you can't think 'We're up 16, I can try this behind the back pass' we've got to learn to keep our foot on the gas pedal at all times."
Stephen Curry
On Tonight's Game:
"It's a tough finish. We controlled the game for 36 minutes. The turnovers and rebounds killed us. It was poor decisions by the guys who are supposed to be running the offense. We wanted the win so bad, we needed it. We had control of the game and they started to make a run, we kind of tighten up. No excuses. We needed to win that game."
On Letting The Grizzlies Off The Hook:
"They're were couple of times in the game. One time was in the second quarter when we were up 19 or something like that and we let them back to a 9 point game at halftime. We got back to where we started in the third quarter. Just the fourth quarter we didn't put our foot on the pedal and played on our heels. We made bad decisions."
Dorell Wright
On How He Feels About The Loss:
"First thing that comes to mind is unacceptable. Were up 20 against a good team and you have to close games out, you have to finish games and that's the bottom line. No one is going to feel sorry for you. We have to play a whole 48 minute game. It's not acceptable at all to give up a 20 point lead, shoot 50 percent, turn the ball over 24 times and lose a game. We need to stay together and get better."
On If They Let Their Foot Off The Gas Pedal:
"We didn't finish game, you can call it whatever you want to. We have to get stops when we need them, rebounds when we need them and stick together as a team and play hard. That's the main goal. We're not going to talk about the playoffs or whatever it is. We need to finish games, that's what playoff teams do. Memphis who is a playoff team, play hard, came back and won."
Notes
- No interesting notes to add tonight.
What's next?
- If you think you can still get up for another game after the 49ers loss and then this loss, get ready to host the Trail Blazers on Wed as our homestand continues.

I don't understand our front court
Udoh, you are 6’10 and supposedly athletic please grab a board
Lee, you are paid 80 million to be a 3rd scoring wheel, be that at least
Biedrins, just leave……
I’m at the point where I want to see lots of Jeremy Tyler, hopefully he can grab a rebound

Udoh always seems slow. Or maybe he just doesn't react very well to rebounds i.e. no instincts.
I dunno, but he should be pulling down more rebounds, clearly.

then Lee moves in a way that doesnt make him look open..

It's more on Curry
When you see Nash does it, he roll with the big and pass it right away. Curry is like dancing around behind Lee and took 2 sec to think if he should pass or not.
PNR works for Lee and Beans before, so it is not their problem PNR not working, it is the guard not passing or pass at the wrong timeing.
by ILoveWarriorsGirls on Jan 25, 2012 3:31 PM PST up reply actions
To this was at least a 50% coacing rotation problem...
Curry was visibly gassed and should have been taken out….Monta/Dorrel could have been rotated out as well….the starters were not doing the job due to what..exhaustion , lack of killer instinct, not wanting it bad enough? The second team should have releaved in the middle of the 4th and either taken it all the way or then been releaved themselves by fresh starters who were then ready to to take it. Bad coaching from my seat….gotta fix what isnt working at the moment of the momentum shift.

Larry Riley, deserves to be fired, just like he did a year ago
-He wasted the #6 pick
-He overpaid David Lee
-He kept Andris
-Heck, he kept Monta, who produced somewhat, but not near the level to justify keeping him. Not near the level to point where you think ’can’t trade’. When your team sucks you move players for picks assets. MEmphis traded Pau for the better, Seattle traded ray Allen for a pick, and Monta isn’t near as good as those guys were.
He has no vision whatsoever, questionable talent evaluator, only likes older collegiate players which is like a recipe to suck (We’re just lucky Curry was good, ortherwise we could have jimmer or reddick).
And I put just as much blame on Lacob. Blow it up. BE BOLD. Bold is being willing to make an unpopular trade like Monta. Bold is dumping Andris, because he’ll NEVER be good here. There’s no vision here.
Why couldn’t we have hired Kevin Pritchard?

You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week
With the soul of a LOST HAWK
Is there a heaven for a Rap Cat, let's talk
How can you disagree with the first point, he wasted the #6 pick
He took a Ronny Turiaf caliber player. He missed on two clear better players. He drafted a glorified role player
That’s simple unacceptable when you’re a 26 win team, who’s ‘core’ is not good enough. Teams like Miami, Chicago, OKC can afford to think need over talent. Not lottery teams.
maybe by the first point he meant that larry riley deserves to be fired lol
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
oh, ok
Yes, I’m just tired of 2nd/3rd rate GMs we get.
We can’t ever hire someone creative and intelligent. Someone a step ahead, instead of a step behind
i'm not sure if that's what he actually meant
just guessing, could be wrong
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
Well...he went for defense but Udoh cannot seem to pull down the rebounds and was not right for a #6 pick.
OK idea but wrong guy at #6. At the time many on this blog were complaining that Monroe was too soft on defense but boy did we miss out on him….
by Only In Fairfax on Jan 24, 2012 10:42 AM PST up reply actions
if we wanted a defensive player who wasn't an offensive liability
paul george was clearly the pick
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
Udoh is not a starter in this league
Riley drafted a bench player at best. How could you not want Monroe instead??? Even if Monroe doesn’t turn out to be a great fit with our team, at least he has so much more trade value…a big man with a developing offensive game who can also pass….
At this point I really don't know which big man I want to play more
Udoh is great at help defense but can’t rebound… Beans can rebound and defend post ups but is nothing on offense

Not scared?
Did you see the one play where Stephen Curry got caught at the baseline, made a behind the back pass to Biedrins, who was just a couple of steps from the rim, and instead of attacking the rim or even trying to score, Biedrins passes it back to the perimeter?
At least four of us in the open thread noticed it (me, mykelala01, warriorsablaze, Badly Browned).
Biedrins is still scared.

those are bad passes

by ILoveWarriorsGirls on Jan 24, 2012 1:02 AM PST up reply actions
Bad passes? What are you talking about?
Do you even know the play I was talking about? That was not a bad pass from Curry. Biedrins caught it cleanly, and he didn’t even THINK about scoring. That’s being scared.
As for the pick and roll, nearly every time that Biedrins runs one with Monta, he’s always getting stuck at the screen. And the way I read his body language and timing on the play, he doesn’t WANT to receive the ball, particularly if the pick and roll has defenders nearby that could slash in and hack him.
by IQofaWarrior on Jan 24, 2012 1:16 AM PST up reply actions
Did DLee get pick and roll, or anyone in the team at all?
None. Because none of the guard wanna do Pick and Roll.
I know Curry’s “speciality” os over the back pass. But please, stop that.
Sacre to shoot? I think it is DWright, not Beans. Man, DW will never shoot inside and 50% of the time it turn the ball over.
by ILoveWarriorsGirls on Jan 24, 2012 7:48 AM PST up reply actions
if Evanz or someone can get a screenshot
Beidrens was WIDE OPEN with no defender in a 6 foot radius right at the right edge of the free throw line
Everyone on Memphis were caught ball-watching Curry. The lane was wide open for him to make a drive. He could’ve easily drove and drew a foul or got a dunk attempt. Thats how out of position the Grizzlies were at the time he caught the ball
Instead he holds it, pauses, and then turns around and dumps it out.
The man is scared to get fouled because he cant hit free throws(which is his fault as well) and if teams started hacking him he would be off the court in 2 minutes
this has been going on since the back injury in 2009. He has lost all confidence in his offensive game because he cant even shoot 60% on his free throws anymore

I just don't agree with this because his best year per volume scoring (and still high efficiency) was 08-09
No Baron, no monta, StackJack running the point.
It’s on Biedrins mostly. He doesn’t cut hard like he used to. Doesn’t go aggressively on offensive glass like he used to (which can be seen in a drop from 4.3/4.4 per 36 to 2.4).
Obviously if we had an elite passing guard it’d help, but the way he’s playing, that still wouldn’t get him to 2008 levels
beans is good at pick and rolls
unfortunately, we never run them
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah

Lakers fans were booing their team 10 games into the season the year following a championship. How spoiled is that?
How's it spoiled to let a team know that their performance is unacceptable?
Here booing a .500 record team who just lost a tough game, that’d probably be the wrong thing to do. On a team capable of winning the championship, you expect more. In all reality, you should be getting more.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I'd be thankful to have players like Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum.
I wouldn’t boo, besides when Kobe shoots 30+ times ;)
Gambino is a mastermind...
by GovernorStephCurry on Jan 23, 2012 11:20 PM PST up reply actions
And then there are fans
that would boo 6 Andrew Bynum turnovers, as well as soft Gasol jumpers and layups. and don’t forget the bench that gives up leads, can’t score, and doesn’t play D (especially now without odom)
So you WOULD boo a championship team that saw Kobe shoot 30 times, and others WOULD boo incompetent bench players or bigs.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Shouldn't there be a booing grace period following a championship?
It seems if your team wins a championship for you, then you should hold off booing for at least 10 games. Especially considering they were a respectable 7-2 at the time. Talk about a bunch of ingrates.
Remember they threw bottles on the floor?

Both of those instances are stupid and dumb.
Doesn’t make booing wrong.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
They are also not the only fan base to have thrown things on the court.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
Why?
If we did more booing, we might get more results. Who knows. Booing has never seemed to stop the Lakers from achieving success. And on bad games, concerning effort, or stupidity, players deserved to be booed, regardless of record, skill level, or past success. If you lose because of something mental, and not because of a lack of talent, or getting outplayed, you deserve boos.
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
I'm not saying booing is wrong in all circumstances.
But Lakers fans are way too liberal with their booing. They are the most spoiled and fickle fans in the NBA. They will boo if they win and don’t get their free tacos. I agree that booing is deserved if there is a lack of effort, but I personally don’t choose to do it.
I don't know if booing would get us better results.
Traditionally we have seen good effort from our players, even in losing seasons. I don’t think their losing is a lack of effort, it has more to do with a lack of talent.
Stupid mistakes
not directly related to effort…
but focus? not having any of that is worth some boos as well.

Waiting for the day that Mike Malone actually draws out a play for last second situations
But that probably won’t be until Mark Jackson gets fired, which probably won’t happen because the W’s front office has too much pride.
Monta seriously needs to take off his blinders down the stretch. Brandon Rush was wiiiide open.
Follow my NBA Blog: http://runnin-n-gunnin.tumblr.com
Actually, it appears that Malone draws up most all of the out of bounds plays as well as the end of game plays. Jackson’s just standing in the huddle watching and listening most of the time.

I can see why we run Monta isos
Prior to the late Monta isos, we tried to run a team play. When the Grizzlies defense hounded them, they panicked, made bad passes to each other, turnover. You just can’t trust the team’s ability to run a play and make the right decisions on the fly during crunch time.

I was thinking more in general terms. I have a vague memory of seeing the same thing in a previous game: Warriors running a play in the final minute, got nothing, got a bad shot, or bad pass, or bad decision. Something that makes me think that a Monta iso is our most reliable play that the Warriors can execute when the game is on the line and you’ve put your entire life-savings into the pot.

That's an interesting take
I’ve actually read a couple articles on turnovers vs iso plays. The Hawks, for example, are relatively efficient on offense because they isolate so much and don’t turn the ball over, but at the same time this makes them easy to guard.

At least it gives the guys more practice, cause they apparently didn’t get enough in the off season.
On a bright note, watching Monta do the ISO thing last night really made me laugh hard, and I mean hard. Epically the last play when he tried to get the body bump from the center on the 3 point line.
That was some funny stuff.

With each passing game the more I think that the only way to end this cycle of mediocrity is outright contraction of the team. The players are inconsistent and/or mediocre, and the owners are not going to change anything because they think this sorry bunch are championship material. Never good enough to be winners, never bad enough to even have the opportunity to draft someone worth building around.
Curry should get votes for playing an entire game without injuring his ankle.
He didn’t hurt his ankle did he?
monta needs to go. i was at the game and this is one more example of him making poor decision after poor decision and getting abused by a defender. blame him for not stepping up, curry/jackson for continuing to go to the same monta iso every time down the stretch and everyone for playing shitty 4th quarter defense. bleh. so heartbreaking

a couple more turnovers than curry…
but a much better shooting night…

not that we couldn’t hold onto the ball as a team…

It was bad coaching giving it to Monta. Shoulda gave it to Lee on the baseline and let him take a jumper or drive on Gasol and draw the foul. Monta had the best defender in the league on him, Steph shoulda been able to run the show. Steph should never be in any game when were winning late in the 4th quarter until its free throw time or we need a 3.

our offense was headed towards
one of monta’s turnovers down the stretch, a nice pass to Lee who couldn’t grab the ball. 2 were off perimeter passes, once as the passer and once as the reciever. only one was due to a an iso move where he got picked by allen. isos weren’t the problem. everyone was terrible in the 4th, and when he’s clearly got the hot shooting hand and no one (NO ONE) can pass, what exactly are we supposed to do? like IQ said we tried some team plays, and they resulted IN those turnovers. so how monta takes the blame for this one, i don’t see
http://nbawarriors.wordpress.com/
a little silly for some people to say Allen abused Monta
Some terrible turnovers obviously, but if memory serves correct Allen had a part in 2 of them. Monta stepped out of bounds trying to drive around him and Allen took the ball away once on an iso. Very next possession Monta blew by him and got to the line, and he did end up 8-12 from the field. Doesn’t excuse the turnovers, but it does help make up for it a little bit.
It does seem like Monta’s ball handling, which has always been below average, has been even less sharp this year.
Pathetic how bad we were on the break tonight. It shouldn’t be that hard as demonstrated by the one Monta assisted Lee for the right hand dunk.
Watching Conley repeatedly blow by Curry was getting really frustrating.
Curry was out of it at the end of the game and should have been pulled or at least rested earlier on…..Monta went into “I gotta carry this game on my superstar shoulders mode” and blew with several dumb moves….he actually played well for nearly 3 quarters…
Perhaps the second team is more “clutch” these days.

Problem is Curry ain’t gonna drive with that ankle, every pass inside seemed like a gamble for a turnover not to mention our bigs ain’t exactly great finishers, Monta guarded by tony allen so we really don’t got much choices but to take perimeter shots. What was inexcusable was the lazy passes and failing to secure the rebound when we get stops.
Lee dropped at least 3 passes created from the guards on the inside when he was wide open
Monta and Curry both just dropped the ball on a pass for a TO as well

well in regards to the draft...
cavs got 1st pick the year lebron leaves, minne is on the rise, sac just scored jimmer, clippers are apparently lob city, toronto is in canada, washington already scored Wall….
the way i see it, stern has 3 possible storylines to rig the draft:
a) bring success back to the motor city and give detroit some hope
b) bring smiles back to the faces of NOLA fans after seeing their franchise star leave
c) finally bring success to the most loyal and supportive fanbase in the NBA with the Dubs (in a big market, no less. not the biggest, but big) and give the new regime a chance to shine.
I think NOLA has the edge ( :_[ ) but either way, we have a top 3 story line! that has to mean something… right?!

Stephen Curry in the locker room.
Only major thing left is gumby highlights.
I havent been this pissed about a loss since they found a way to lose that game against Charlotte at home last season. This was so f____ing frustrating to watch. Nate shoulda been in the game instead of Curry.
The bottom line is, the team folded in the fourth quarter. I chalk it up to not enough crunch time practice. The team has been working on their defense with what ever energy they have left from the shortened schedule. So, I doubt they have had substantial practice for crunch time. They folded as a team and everyone’s deficiencies came on display, and we can’t start to nitpick everyone. They were playing great for three quarters and I was hearing nothing but praise. Chalk this one up to an inexperience team that is still learning.

Brandon Rush’s 3’s get me off
Where was Charles Jenkins?
I was surprised to see Steph keep shooting Monta-like shots. He was having an off shooting night, but still kept shooting. He also had too many stupid turnovers. I expect a lot more out of Curry.
Monta had a ton of turnovers too but that’s pretty much expected. He shot pretty efficiently, though.
When both guards are sucking it (especially at the same time) it’s easy to blow the game (pun intended)

Funny how disagreeing with someone can turn on you. It’s called karma.

Some good points there j
The bench players did not see enough minutes in the 4th.
Nate and Jenkins would have borout energy and less turnovers when Curry was staggering around….
Klay was solid….Monta played well but as usual went all savior(dumb savior) in the last minutes….perhaps because his 4th quarter chuck shots were going in….they usually dont.
No one was getting the ball to Lee but have to admit that Memphis brought the defensive energy in the 4rth……the Warriors never seem to bring on the energy to seal the deal…is it too much playing time or lack of heart or lack of steel…..this is the main reason that the preacher is here!

The key is to only tank bad enough for the 8th pick
or else the pick goes to Utah

Pick is only Top 7 protected. We lose it if we end up with the 8th. And we will lose it by the end of the season.

wow what a loss...
just unbelievable…in control for 3+ quarters…not just in control, but dominating control…sickening sickening loss…I pin this loss on Monta and Curry….Monta 7 turnovers, Curry 5 turnovers….with huge turnovers down the stretch..both of them….just not excusable…pathetic collapse

Yup....
….when your guards are missing easy passes and throwing lazy passes to the other team, we’re not going to hold on to a lead.
by warriorsablaze on Jan 24, 2012 12:36 AM PST up reply actions
just too many things fundamentally wrong that you would think pro players would have learned in 4th grade youth leagues....
for instance, Curry’s lazy one handed passes….Monta’s jump in the air and then try to do a bail out pass…..not being able to run a 3 on 1 break properly due to either bad spacing or not knowing when to draw the defender in properly before the dish…..all just elementary things that are soo frustrating….makes you wonder if the coaching staff watches film or talks to the team about this stuff…when they consistently make the same rudimentary mistakes and multiple times a game it is just mind blowing.

I am starting to believe
that Monta knows where he is going with the ball before he leaves his feet for those “bailout” passes. While they look like stupid basketball, it’s pretty surprising how anecdotally, in my experience, I have seen him find an open man more often than not with those passes. I can think of one example last night, and it looked like that pass was mishandled by David Lee as opposed to being an inherently bad decision. Otherwise I completely agree with you, especially on running the break. That is the one time I would like to see Monta as the primary ball-handler, he is smooth running 2- and 3-on-1’s, Curry looks confused on the break.

i 100% agree that's not a good thing
but like i said the only time i wanna see him as primary ballhandler is leading the fast break. he’s awesome off the ball, even against tony allen he was shooting like 70% FG while he was playing off the ball. I was just saying that’s not so much indecisive as it is a bad habit, and from appearances it looks like lazy passes around the perimeter are responsible for more TO’s than this particular undesirable move

See the Rim, how Small it’s grown
But Reggie, it hasn’t been too long
It was so big
We laughed with you and you were glad
The first Three that you Swished , it was so big
Then the rest-of-season contract came
And you ran out to put the game away
So we wouldn’t die
Came runnin’ in all excited
Swished againd and almost hurt yourself
And we laughed till we cried
You were always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and we loved you so
And we surprised you with a full contract
Kept us on an edge all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass you
When we palyed you fourth quarters
‘Cause we would know
That you’d been there working’
A silly 3 Pointer late, late, and it would show
And Reggie, WE miss you
And we’ve been BAD
And WE’’d love to be with you
If only WE didn’t treat you so sad
Curry wrecked his ankle and you was sad
And so afraid that WE’d be mad
But what the heck
Though we pretended hard to be
Guess you could say you saw through us
And Swished that Rim without regret
You gave us joy unexpectedly
When we caught you double-blocking surprisingly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Fall
When the rains come by the Bay
That Reggie went Away
AndReggiey, we miss you
And WE’ve been BAD
WE’d love to be with you
If only we could
One day while while not at home
When Reggie was there, hurt, and all alone
The angels came
Now all WE have is memories of Reggie
And I wake up game nights and call his name
Now our season is an empty stage
Where Reggie lived and Reggie played
And WE grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the Court
That Reggie loved
And see the Rim how Small it’s grown
But friend it hasn’t been too long
It was so big
And we laughed with you and you were glad
The First Three That You Swished, It Was So Big
I have deemed this a suitable ode to Reggie

Who knows, maybe he would not have gone overseas if he had a contract, maybe, he wouldn't have been hurt, maybe he would be a month away from helping us....
Thanks for your approval…some typos, but it was one am pst, and 10 am where I was at!

Sceptic, it was the baddest karma added on the Karma Pole!
Really, though, our problem is inside the paint. We have a couple of seven footers….Not one appears to be worth beans…The backcourt has a lot of talent; getting it to play together, and preventing defenses from icing them late in the game (when they realize we have only Lee for any type of inside game), is very hard to do if you have no inside threat and presence. Biedrins and Udoh combined for 3 Rs last night; Lee, had 14. Enough said. No presence inside, makes it very difficult even for the best of backcourts. That is what happened late in the game…their defense suffocated our backcourt, smothered Lee, and we had nothing else inside to counter with.
That's all for tonight
Looks like gumby fell off a cliff after this loss. I don’t see anything on his twitter feed.
Thanks!

Ahhhh....
Our benc is 10X better than our starters. Consistency + Defense! Our whole starting lineup can’t defend!! We need to trade David Lee and get some kinda size inside. A miracle trade that would never work:
David Lee + ? for Tony Allen + Speights.
First is the kickball, now is foul but no call at 3's. What's up with that?
I am sure that’s what Monta is thinking… not about his 100+ TOs.

It's lonely being the only Warriors fan at UMass :(
trade everyone except for curry :)
just because he has that potential to be really friggin great. Everyone’s potential is already gone.

Curry
does not have potential to be really friggin great. If you’re in your 3rd year and not even top 5 at your position, you don’t have potential to be anything more than decent. He has the potential to be a decent NBA starter, a potential he is still only teetering on the edge of reaching.

"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
fair point, but even if you control for age, considering Westbrook, Derrick Rose, John WalI, And for a 4th, I know it’s early to judge but Kyrie Irving looks a LOT better than steph running the point… So even among guys his age he MIGHT be #5 Curry hardly shows superstar potential. Can’t really call on my knowledge of the 98 season to address your example, but who were the the 5 pg’s that were better than Nash at that time, and how many of them were under 25?
looking it up (since i dont remember, all i know was nash was starting and only averaged 8 and 5.5 in 31 min)
kidd was 25, payton was 30, penny was 27, marbury was 21, stoudamire was 25, tim hardaway was 32, cassell was 29, stockton was 36, jason williams was 23, strickland was 32, avery johnson was 33, mark jackson was 33, van exel was 27, bibby was 20, terrell brandon was 28, brevin knight was 23.
"Anthony Davis is no different than Al Farouq Aminu." - J--Ridah
without that microfracture surgery, penny easily goes on to become one of the best PG’s of all time. But I digress. Are you talkin about white chocolate? please. lol. And ur talking about bibby and brevin knight as contemporaries, it’s not like they were ever lightyears ahead of the pack. Meanwhile, Steph’s peers are 1st, and 2nd team all-NBA.
i was just naming players who at the time were better than nash

I heard
Mark Jackson was so pissed after the game, that during his post game speech, his pants just fell off.
Who knew?
Harbaugh -- "We're not into answering questions"
i know this is harsh, but the plays mark jackson are using and his strategies are perplexing...
by harsh, i mean should we just fire MJ and make Malone our new head coach. I mean small ball? really? Especially in the 4th where we were out rebounded and everything. If beans had gone in and grab us few rebounds and get fouled, atleast we would be in the bonus. UGH sucks to be warriors fan.

I think the biggest problem with our decision making is the fact we don't have a very good team
And all our players learned/succeeded in a gimmick system.
Monta thrives in the open court. DLee thrives in it, where he can use his quickness v. bigger men. Steph thrives in it, because it helps him compensate for his lack of athleticism and lack of being a true PG.
Some of them (Steph), I am confident can evolve more, it’s just a matter of time.
However, I question this teams overall talent more every game.
