OPEN THREAD: Warriors @ Kings

GSW by 5.

Now he is out early.

Don't like our body language out there.

Didn't know about Montae's brother.

Come on Dubs snap out of it.

Usually the Warriors cause stupid turnovers, but they don't commit stupid turnovers. Tonight they are committing stupid turnovers.

Straight up pathetic on defense. No one showed up on that end. Come backs are impossible if the best you can do is trade baskets.

I'm hoping we were just tired tonight, but if we were, then I don't know why Nelson would ride the starters. Hopefully they can show some fight in the fourth, it's not like they've used any energy so far.

Wait, why has Brandan Wright not been playing again? WTF!

The Warriors won't come back for the simple reason that the announcers keep talking about them coming back every time Sacramento misses a shot.

Houston loses by 20 btw.

They could have had it.

one word, PATHETIC

i feel bad for all those GSW fans who drove there..

Horrible game...just horrible

the kings are so far away from playoffs, they should just let us win for bay area support LOL

Wright should have seen minutes in the first half or started the third to mix up our look, even for a minute...

I DON'T EVEN WANNA THINK ABOUT THE 8 GAME STRETCH COMING UP.

Although, anytime the Warriors need a spark, they should put in B Wright.

Good to see Azubuike playing good tonight, CJ Watson playing pretty good. Hopefully a wake up call, the time is running short for wake up calls.

Also, this will definitely prepare the Warriors for the rematch against the Kings, which could be a far more crucial game. Hopefully the next Kings and Phoenix games are routs.

Great guy that caught fire at the end of the year last year but I think there's a reason he's played on twice as many teams as the number of years he's been in the league.  He deserves more chances but after having only 1 or 2 decent games the entire season its clear he shouldn't be on the floor in the clutch right now.  

we all have to provide the disclaimer that Nelson knows more basketball than us, but that shouldn't exempt him from a very basic criticism surrounding a very basic strategic premise.  the one thing he is guilty of over and over and over again, and is beyond argument, is the absolute fear of holding his "stars" accountable.

once the 2nd unit had proven itself to be the better solution this particular night, reducing the deficit to 6 and making the game fun to watch again, it gets tweaked at the next stoppage.  why?!  Barnes out for Baron because he had just committed ONE silly foul in the course of playing too tightly on defense?  i'll take an effort foul any day when the overall result is the run we were having.  any one in the first unit every get subbed for a stupid foul?  Baron, each time his pride's hurt on the offensive end and proceeds to just hip check the opposing point guard 5 seconds later (every time) as he crosses midcourt?  man.  

the occasion like this, when Nelson spends an entire quarter refusing to entertain an alternative to what's blatantly broken, and then, once he does, and it proves to work, "fixing" what's not...

trivialize the 2nd unit all you want, write it off as a game they "certainly would have lost anyway" if they'd been left in to finish it.  how do we know?   how can you possibly know?  how about believing in momentum.  how about rewarding the effort by letting them take ownership of the last couple minutes.  is losing with Baron chucking up the last 3 misses some kind of consolation?  - we've gotten back in the game with hustle, ball movement, scrappiness, hunger, enthusiasm - let's put a cooled off starter back in who we know will dominate the ball, who by default sets a much different tone for the role players out there with him, and let him shoot us in or out of this.  the logic escapes em.
