punishing the lack of size inside

Wiggins missing layups with alacrity.

he has the worst touch around the rim of any good NBA player I think. He can get there easily but if he can't dunk or drop it in he misses and often not even close.

They gotta get to the FT line they are in the bonus it's the only chance to get back in this

 

[Russ Smith]

rebounds are 22-8

Curry is playing soft ass defense because he has two fouls. Get out of your head Steph, and just ******* defend harder!

 

[Russ Smith]

I couldn't tell if Horford tipped that or Wiggins just didn't catch it what a huge play chance to cut it to 8 instead it's 12.

Steph in foul trouble and Poole together equalled really bad defense, had to put Payton in

 

[Russ Smith]

that 3rd foul on Curry where White took a dive was huge because Steph gave up like 3 layups after that afraid to foul. Honestly feels like we should be down 20 not 12

The Warriors aren’t even half trying to play defense. Literally zero commitment to stopping anyone it’s like a freaking turnstile.

 

[Russ Smith]

the problem seems to be Boston is just too big to play much of Poole and Curry together. But you want that 3rd 3 point shooter to spread the floor and with Wiggins 0-4 from 3, we only have Steph and Klay. And of course Draymond has a donut

They are acting like they have an elite rim protector back there instead it's Green or Wiggins.

Boston can do it because they have Williams and Horford back there to block shots, the Warriors just don't have the rim protector.

is the delay on ABC always this bad or is it my cable company? The score on tv was 64-51 I looked at ESPN on my computer and they had 66-54. Sure enough warriors hit a 3 to get to 54 and then Smart made a layup to make it 66-54. There's about 40 seconds difference so my feed is like 40 to 45 seconds delayed?

The Warriors in the first half --especially defensively--approaching this game like they have a 3-0 series lead.

Guys on Warriors World saying they should change to Golen State since there's no D.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Clown show.

 

[Russ Smith]

hard to watch could have cut it to 6 and now it's 13. Green arguing if the ball went off Smart nobody gets back dunk

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

In what world was that a shooting foul on Curry? He fouls before he started his shooting motion total bull crap.

Apparently that’s not true

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Every time mthey get within eight points they give a three.

 

[Russ Smith]

definitely a flagrant in his landing zone

 

[Russ Smith]

Wiggins changed pivot feet before that pass to porter

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Let’s go!

 

[Russ Smith]

Kerr clearly hesitant to put Poole in because of the defense

 

[Cheesebeef]

This sets up for a hell of a finish.

Why did he pull curry out of the game?

Why did he pull curry out of the game?

4 fouls plus rest so he can go more in the 4th I assume.

No Payton his half is surprising to me but I think he's afraid to go small and with Steph and Klay both hot that makes it hard to play Payton.
