Didn't foul a lot, didn't get beaten on the glass, didn't turn the ball over a lot, didn't get killed by the other team making an inordinate % of threes, didn't get done in by poor bench play.
Just got our asses kicked by a bad team on our home floor cos our MVP looked like a deer-in-the-headlights rookie, and their rookie #31 pick played like peak Steph Curry.
Say, was Curry struggling because of the Pacers defense? According to postgame thread, someone mentioned that Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson gave him trouble all night.
Poole is really the ultimate boom or bust guy. When he's on, damn, he can single handedly carry us but I'd like to see him take the next step and settle down a bit. He goes for the homerun play on both ends at crucial times and when he fails it puts the team in a really bad position.
Feels like the Dubs are having a lot more trouble kicking into that extra gear that they've always been able to turn to in past seasons. The third quarter dominance has been missing, and they keep losing games where they're leading with 4-5 minutes left.
Probably related to the defense being worse than before, and maybe the starters being older?
ooh lawrdy, that was not a good loss. But whatever. Hovering around the edges of relevancy till the post season?

Getting blown by on the perimeter and severe lack of rim protection is not a great combination.

Who had the Sacramento Kings being the best NBA team in California at the quarter pole?
welp I guess for all the games Poole, Klay, and the bench have cost us, Steph deserves one or two
And with that one we have the same number of losses as the Lakers. Making it to the Playoffs will be so hard in this Western Conference.
Unless Poole gets better at D or Klay goes to bench, don't see how Poole can be part of starting 5 on a regular basis.
Poole certainly didn’t step into Wiggs shoes
Hey! We still in play-in! So there is a chance.
Nembhard has the ugliest looking, off-the-hip, slow-release three ball that always seems to go in since ... Ty Haliburton.
That viral video of Steph really jinxed him.

Wiggins would have come in handy to clamp that kid. It's very rare someone will blow by Wiggins repeatedly
So scouting report must have been crap. Probably said that Nembhard is a scrub. By the time we caught up, he was in rhythm and full of confidence
