okay. saw some clips of last night and uh... where is this team mentally on the road? poole gets his fair share of blame but guys like klay and even draymond are just having rookie brain farts some possessions. i refuse to believe they can just forget how to play team defense on the road. it has nothing to do with opponents being unreasonably hot from 3 on their home court and we’re just unlucky. that’s what happens when you consistently let nba players get into rhythm with LA fitness type of defense. we know what’s going wrong but what we can’t figure out is why?
Warriors point of attack defense has been their biggest weakness this season. So how come they are #3 in defensive efficiency at home and #28 in defensive efficiency on the road? Is it because opposing team's role players shoot much better in their home court than at Chase Center?
I’d paused the game at 108-106, then came back to watch the end. Bane missed a 3, and then Steph dribbled the ball up at mid-speed, missed Dray on the cut, and tried to go 1-on-2 through the defense without even a thought to dump it to Dray… then the next few possessions were no ball movement hero shots. I’ve seen this before.
Also ZOMG that Kuminga sequence where he fumbled the ball OOB and then go called for a brutally terrible loose ball foul…
Let's give some credit to the Griz on their SEGABABA. That team was humming; did you guys see how they were whipping the ball around...37 assists, shot lights out/47 percent 3pters and made 5 more than we did. We got our TOs down to only13, but they had only 6 TOs. Seems they play better without Ja....they killed us in the interior...let's face it, we sure could have used a serviceable bona fide 7 footer...
I have not been able to watch the last two games because the MyTeams app stopped working. I tried watching the highlights on the the NBA YouTube channel but I counted 42 Grizzlies highlights to 13 Warriors highlights. So I have no clue of how any players looked during the game… maybe that’s a good thing but still, they need to even out those highlights.
To people upset at Klay - till very recently, he wasn't playing B2B. Also he had to guard Bane this game even though injuries have robbed him of that elite defense against guards
Shot of him looking defeated on the bench during garbage time made me more sad than the loss itself. Steph and Dray had a lighter mood
I wouldn't be surprised if he was mulling on what he has lost.
Was hoping Dray would've brought the energy tonight coming off the suspension, but he did just say last week that it is extremely hard for him to care/ get up for games in March.
I was hoping the Dubs were onto something, we shall see the rest of the way. A game every other day + the back 2 back may have got them in this one especially.
Damn this team is rough to watch rn. Klays defense stood out to me as particularly terrible this game. Just feels like his intensity is turned to down to about a 4 sometimes, it's not the playoffs but can we get at least like a 7?
Can the road record slump be related to a fractious locker room? Draymond seems to feel this is his last year in the Bay. Poole lost his mojo, and he must really miss it. I know if Steph Curry got sick of me at work, it would really mess with my head. The Wiseman vibes, the GPII injury, Andre’s health, whatever poor Wiggins is dealing with. This season is one helluva Championship Hangover.
Losing to the Grizz is more annoying than an average loss … but any game where JK kicks ass makes me happy, so I’ll call this a slightly less bad than average loss.

4 time champ - we with you.

Jazz beat the Celtics 118-117. Jazz move to 34-36 and to the #10 spot, while the Lakers fall to the #11 spot.

Can’t wait for the tell all Marcus Thompson book on this season
wow, we doubled them up in free throws and still lost by double digits.
