    Re: 4/5 - 4/13 Games Discussion Thread

    Successful game by the Timberwolves.

    Warriors always go stretches where they simply play sloppy, and it's not only this game, but even in games where they blow teams out there are stretches where they don't value the ball. Careless passes, forcing passes, forcing things when it's not there. Frequently not understanding the situation.

    Yes, they're very good three point shooters, but when a big lead dwindles down to 2 or the game is tied, there's really no need to chuck up a 3 attempting to dagger the opponents even if it's Curry or Klay, especially early in the shot clock or midway through the shot clock. Slowly stretch the lead with twos and locking down on defense could be a good recipe to build the lead. Stretch the lead to 9 or 10, then splashes a three. It doesn't always have to come from homerun splashes during close stretches.

    Forget about the record if they play careless for stretches. Come playoff time, keep the turnovers down and stop forcing things, and understand the situation.

    Come Thursday against the Spurs (even if Parker, Ginobli, Duncan, Kawhi takes the night off and only the bench plays), Warriors could lose back to back for the first time all year, and to add home back to back losses.

    Onto the next.

      I guess I need to get use to it. But to me it seem like blocking foul or a no call. Kat doesn't get him flush. But it's whatever at this point. I just need to get use to it like you said. I haven't seen this until tonight.

        Oh that was back in October when I noticed it. I stopped paying attention/looking for it by the end of that week so I have no idea if its continued throughout the year or not lol

          I just have to say I am a little worried about golden state right now. I know 69-9 is a great record but they have now lost 2 of there last 3 games at home and they really have not looked that good for about 5 games. I mean if you look at like there last 5 games now you have lost 2 at home and one vs a really bad team. They also almost lost to the jazz and even the game before this game they didn't look that good for about 3 quarters or so. Not the way you want to be playing going into the finals.

            Can't see them beating the Spurs at home, so at best they'll have to tie the Bulls record. In the case, is it even worth chasing or rest players for the bigger picture.


            They still have not clinched Home court and I don't think you rest guys at all in till you do. Also they are not playing well right now. Have not looked the same for about 5 games right now and they are young and a lot of times don't even have to play the 4th quarter. So really fatigue shouldn't be a issue. Also while rest can be good I think if you rest guys to much you can go into the playoffs rusty.

                Timberwolves going to have by far the most attractive job opening this summer if they actually let Mitchell go.

                  Fell asleep during the warriors game. Woke up this morning and laughed at the result. I had actually entertained the idea of the fans being hyped to see 70 happen only to be disappointed, funny that it happened.

                  They probably won't get the record now though, maybe they will "just" tie it.

                    @strawberry OJ brought that up earlier this season, but it mostly got chalked up to ‘OJ madness’ lol

                    I happened to agree though, the Warriors can get dagger happy in close games….which I can understand having the two best shooters in the league. You wonder if these are just regular season habits or something well run into later down the road when things are tighter.

                    Either way, it will be interesting to see how things go. It’s not a given the Spurs are going to sit guys during this last stretch as of yet.

                      I think that the dagger 3 style may be a core part of their identity and they're going to sink or swim with it. When you look at how rarely it has worked against them this year, it would hard to see them not still feeling very confident playing that way. I think that only something like losing a game in the first of second game of the playoffs because of it, might get them to reconsider that strategy.

                      Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                        Yeah, I mean they are 69-9 so it's hard to really question anything about the way they're playing....but we'll see..

                        Definitely a confident bunch..haha

                        "Maybe we would have won 78 games with last year's injury situation," said one Warriors official, taking stock of the health situation.

                        Tuesday's tilt was supposed to be the game when they were finally whole again, with Andrew Bogut (rib issue) and Iguodala (ankle sprain) returning from their injuries.

                        It started as a reminder of a luxury that was once taken for granted. Bogut picked up two early fouls and, suddenly, Festus Ezeli was there to take his place (as opposed to, say, Anderson Varejao). Stephen Curry had an awful shooting first half (0-of-8, two points), but Golden State's offense didn't miss a beat. The Warriors were comfortable, eventually opening up a 15-point lead in the first quarter.

                            Aint hard to believe when the owner talking about being light years ahead of everyone in every way. Wouldn't be shocked if it was him.

                                The courtside fan last nite in Detroit that heaved a 3-pointer after the ball went out of bounds cracks me up everytime...especially Reggie Jackson's face (whether directed at the fan or not).

                                Anyways, I'm proud and quite surprised at Charlotte this year...11 games over .500, played a good 2nd half. I think the series against Atlanta will be very close, presuming Batum will be fully healthy.
