Meh, I blame Thibs for a lot of things including his horrible time managment/rotations but hard to blame him for Jimmy hero balling, Wiggins terrible handles and just missed shots
The warriors brought back every starter. We kept with the bench
True. But Wiggins was clearly gassed, KAT didnt look so hot either. They played hard, I'm happy. GS is just in a different league then us. They struggle for a long time but turn it on when they really need it, we just couldnt do the same
Ya I agree. Just thought should of brought back Kat when the game started to get away from us.

What did you expect him to do when we had 1 pg for the whole game.

Are you talking about Nunnley because it was a necessary evil. Guys need rest after Drose got hurt
I'm sure Tyus off of a rest game, jimmy off of a rest game, Wiggins off of a rest game + okogie could all have split those minutes. Especially when Tyus and Wiggins were playing very well. No excuse for playing a guy for the first time in the 4th when he's ice cold. If your plan has to be that - you test him in the third.
No excuse.
I strongly disagree there. You expect. Wiggins, tyus and butler to play every second of the 2nd half. Tyus needed rest. Thibs didn't want to go with cj Williams. We had no other pg. He trusted the best EURO 3pt shooter. They didn't go in
Okay, if that is your stance then you get them reps during the first half, or at least during the third quarter to see where they are at and to keep your known quantities fresh for the most important quarter.

His fourth quarter decisions were garbage.
It's hard to take out guys in the 3rd quarter when we have it rolling. And Rose got hurt middle of the 2nd quarter

There is a huge rhythm and repetition aspect to being a great shooter.
I agree with you it's hard. But it's hard to take our guys out when they extend the lead in the 3rd. We have to hope that Nunnley could hold his own for 5 minutes to start the 4th he didn't. He is supposed to be a knock down shooter, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt he can hit open 3s even when cold
It's amazing to me how little we use KAT in the flow of the offense. I know this is a new NBA now, but both KAT and Wig need to get more touches on the block. They can both be unstoppable down there. I wasn't a Mitchell fan but at least he saw the ability of these guys to score with their back to the basket. Wig spends most of the game standing at the arc, and KAT is away from the basket far too much. The two of them combined for 2 free throws tonight. That's ridiculous.

Has a lot to do with butler. I mean look at Kats numbers with him and without him. Kat rolls so much more when he is running PnR with anyone but butler

I imagine there is a lot one can complain about on Thibs' rotations. But putting Nunnally in to start the 4th is not one of them. Thibs is pretty consistent with his rotations, and he has the backup PG start the 2nd and 4th quarters. With Rose unable to go in the 2nd half, the next man up was Nunnally. And while that might have been a disaster for him if he had to handle the ball a ton, that unit had Butler to handle the ball. Of course, that didn't work out so well, either...
