    I’m done with Chief, he’s a bench guy. Now I’m beating a dead horse but if he could hit a shot we’d be up 20+

    Dame should have taken the last shot. Too unselfish.

    But Fab half! We know GSW can score in bunches. Just hang onto the lead, play smart aggressive ball second half, avoid dumb fouls and make free throws.

    Chief has 9 pts and 6 boards in the first half....give it a break. I'm glad to see guys trying to get him going...sure he's been in a slump last two games...good to see Dame continue to share the rock.

    We have some foul trouble. No choice but to play Aminu to finish the second.

    Next season checklist: Replace Aminu with someone who can dribble and can shoot open shots.

    Can’t lose this game, demoralizing wouldn’t even come close to describing it.

    He has 9 points and he’s leading us in rebounds.

    Strongly disagree!!!
    They could be up 30 after three and its not enough.
    You KNOW GS has runs left..

    Let’s not forget the Warriors can erase a double digit lead in the blink of an eye. Gotta keep up the pressure.

    I don’t think Hood is in foul trouble, zero reason for him to not be out there at the end.

    The two most vocal about it, and the two who have been vocal about it for years.

    it's the NBA...15 points isn't a big lead. OKC led Portland by 15 in game 5 with 6 minutes left and Portland won by 3

    I'd feel comfortable with a 45 point lead though
