Going ice cold at the wrong time. Need to get back to attacking the paint, refs aren’t calling anything on them right now though

[GMTD]

It would be ironic if Jokic gets fouled out and Demarcus Cousins comes in to win the game.

[GMTD]

Malone has to take Jokic off the floor. We can't risk a 5th from him at thia stage.

Why on Earth are they trying to have a three point contest with theWarriors when they have a double digit lead?

This happens in every single game.

And at some point good Bones Hyland is going to need to show up. It’s been the Barton esque version of him tonight. He needs to drive more, he’s got such a good handle and good quickness that he needs to be aggressive when his shot isn’t falling. And since he’s so long and lanky it’s really easy for him to draw fouls. But he really toned down on attacking the basket after that charge, can’t play scared in these moments, you have to go out and take the win.

Well that was an awkward clunky last possession to end the half. Fitting because it’s been an awkward clunky game. Lots of missed free throws and bad turnovers, lucky for us the Warriors have been off so far. The slow pace is hurting their “death lineup’s” chemistry. We need to do more of the same and start converting these free throws and these and one opportunities

[GMTD]

Overall, I don't think we can play much better defensively against this class of opposition. Offensively, we seem to be struggling to find ways past Draymond Green.

So many missed opportunities at the free throw line

We've missed 7 FTA. The Warriors have only missed 1 (from Steph Curry).

[beastlyskronk]

Hopefully that can get Barton going.

Will Barton, 1 pt in 11 mins.

He doesn’t even want the ball on offense at this point, he’s so out of it

Well Gordon is getting to the line early and often. Shame he left 3 points on the line, also a shame they didn’t give Jokic the and one when he was obviously in the act of shooting. Still the team is sloppy so far, a couple of unforced turnovers and some really weak fouls giving them and one opportunities. Not sure how Green didn’t get at least a technical for grabbing Gordon’s leg. Gordon deserved the tech but so did Green.

We need to clean the turnovers up fast because the Warriors are about to scorch the earth in the 2nd quarter. Also this timeout is going to lead to a turnover like always I’m sure

[GMTD]

Steph Curry to start tonight with Looney going to the bench. This could be a disaster for us if they get off to a hot start early. Alternatively it could be great for us if Jokic can get Draymond Green in foul trouble early and often.

I would like to see Jokic drive to the basket more as he did early in Game 4. On that occaaion it was Klay that got into horrendous foul trouble (4PF's in the first quarter).
