1. So glad for the fan appreciation night last night but I’m still not over the fact we’ve seen the last game the core has played

2. Another coaches shuffling is in need this off season tbh. Steph made such a big blunder but coaches always had to remind players of what’s happening whether they’re aware of it or not. Constantly, they should be communicating literally everything – stats, adjustments midgame, what side of the basket a player is hot, etc

   Coupled this with the fact that coaches have been pushing 3 guards lineup/so small throughout the season. Hopefully they can get frank vogel if ever kenny accepts hc

3. I don’t blame Steph so much for the time-out. Steph got stuck in a bad double team and nobody else was paying attention. Really bad job by Dray and Looney there. Wiggins and Thompson were already down the court

4. Doris is exhausting

5. So it’s ok to lower a shoulder into someone on a drive and knock a guy backwards now? First Looney, then Steph and Wiggins were getting so punished for what used to be called great defenese. Only when Looney landed on his butt did they call that a foul. Sheesh

6. Wiggins is so damn good for us. Dude does literally everything –

   * POA defense

   * help defense

   * def rebounds

   * off rebounds

   * setting screens

   * ball handling

   * iso scoring

   * 3pt shooting

   * mid-range shooting

   * lob-threat

   * running the floor

   Crazy that we can expect him to hit the 17point mark everytime on top all that he does already.

7. Game 5 is a must win. They can’t afford to lose this one. I still believe in this team, but they need to limit their turnovers, be better defensively, secure the boards, and start the game strong.

8. I have a pretty good grasp of the reason Kuminga is not playing more. Too much speed on the court. Switching is not his forte and he is only a second year. His lack of certainty is making him hesitant and it is all killing his usefulness. 3 minutes last night.

   But Donte is down to like 16 minutes a game. GP2 is still sick? Played 7 minutes last night. Moody seems to have earned some trust. 5 minutes? I have not complained about Kerr all year. Not a post. I trust his short term and long term plans. Or what I hope they are.

   Steph played the last 14 minutes last night. We are not using our bench. I remember that playin loss to the Grizzlies. Steph played the entire last quarter and OT. Fumes were coming off him. It’s how you make mental errors and miss teardrops. If we don’t trust our bench to learn and play more we are going to die, as the corpse Kerr is dragging along the ground. And “just play the vets” will be on the tombstone.

   He cannot run a 7 player roster. It is not viable.

9. i still can’t believe steph called the timeout & i still can’t believe we won the game. let’s win game 5 in sac & finish the series off at home in 6!
