Surprised Kerr wasn't fined. At the end of the Denver game he was irate when Braun dove on a loose ball, rolled over and slid several feet, and then appeared to call timeout. Denver had no timeouts, and were up 4 so in theory T, FT and then a made 3 is a tie game. The refs didn't call the timeout let alone the T, didn't call the travel, and Denver won. The next day the NBA said he didn't clearly make the TO signal he started to but didn't complete it clearly so correct call. I somewhat agree he didn't make the classic T with his hands but that's because he had the ball cupped in one hand. The Warriors wound up in a jump ball but down 4 with a few seconds left it didn't matter. Kerr said post game everyone saw him roll over and then call timeout but the 3 guys paid to see it.
After the NBA defended the refs Kerr made a snide comment about how they never addressed the obvious walk. I would assume because it had no impact on the outcome, down 4 if they call the walk they're still going to lose.
They won tonight without Steph, tremendous game from Kuminga 33 and really nice defense, I do think it's looking more and more like the start from Hield was a mirage, he's fallen off a cliff. Podz is picking it up but while everyone says they need a big, and they do, I really think their biggest need is another guard so when Draymond is not on the floor they can run the offense without having to have Steph on the ball so much. If teams double him off the ball, and they can't score 4 on 3 then they suck anyways.
I didn't think they were as good as 12-3 start made it seem, and I don't think they're as bad as the 5 game losing streak either, but I do think unless Podz makes a big jump they're going to have to get a guard who can create. Tonight they using Kuminga quite a bit as a point forward with Steph out and it worked. Also a big key tonight was GP2, his on ball defense in the 4th quarter was huge, if he were just a better ballhandler but he's like an undersized 4 on offense.
