what i do not get was that time out 1:45 to go by Sam, and also this last attempt of missing FT was much lower percentage than making it and going for steal ..

He got out coached plan and simple not saying that is why the wolves lost but Kerr called timeouts and got a wide open dunk and layup. Sam draws up plays that get the wolves contested lavine jumpers

Wolves starters smacked the Warriors around all game, but the Wolves bench got outscored 36 to 8. Lather, rinse, repeat. Ugh.

Sucks we couldn't pull it out in the end, but I honestly thought they'd kill us given the fact they just came off a tough loss against San Antonio and would want to bounce back strong.

I'm not sure what other team has tried that pure switching strategy on Curry, but it worked pretty damn well as far as bottling up Curry's 3-point shooting. The price we paid was having Rubio guard Green at times, but I'd rather have Draymond try to take mis-matches on one-on-one in 2-point land than have Curry rain down 3's all night.

Better coaching and a better bench and we are playoff contenders. It's a doable task this offseason.

Rubio with another solid shooting game, and don't look now, but he actually made a pull-up jumper in crunch time. If it wasn't for a few of those dumb turnovers he made early on, I would have said it was the best game of the year for him. But the turnovers hurt.

I suspect it's easier to build a quality bench when you already have starters that can go toe to toe with the champs! And yes, I realize GS was off their game tonight, they look tired to me.

Rubio has been great since the all star break. We have a good foundation for the team. We need to add to the core.

Yes, I love our starting unit and their potential. Now if we can add some decent backups and upgrade our coaching, the sky is the limit.

I assume we won't be hearing from alex, Duke or Pork tonight. Rubio fully outplayed Curry tonight.
