    Stotts didn't say Nurk would play. He was asked if there is a chance we see Nurk this series and he said yes.

    Can't wait for this off-season: a million posts about "If only we had Nurkic . . . "

    It's gonna be great.

    Nurkic would have helped but outside of Dame/CJ and a solid game from Turner, the rest of this squad didn't show up. When PC has as many points as Aminu/Crabbe/Meyers, you are in serious trouble.

    Dame and CJ actually can hold their own against the best back court in the NBA. Yes ours is also that good as well. The problem is the Warriors also have two additional ALL NBA players in their starting unit that we can not match up with. Nor can any other team. Then they have a bench that can come in and turn up the pressure to start the 4th. Teams run out of gas against them

    With Nurk, we play them closer in Q4. Or at least make them really work to get a victory.

    It was obvious we needed a reliable third scorer. Nurkic would've been that. And he would've disrupted Curry's drives to the basket. It seems we will have Nurkic back in this series so it probably won't be an "if only" situation. Why are you always so negative?

    The refs are not why we lost but they did go to work in the 4th quarter. Game should have at least been closer.

    Nurkic is making his name in the NBA, Charles Barkley and Skip Bayless really like him, even Shaq I think, he said he likes the way he plays

    Trash talking doesnt do shit to our guys. Dame and CJ give it right back. And our other dudes suck as is. Not like theyd play that much better wo it. Much ado about nothing. Dame tried to end Draymond a few times w dunks tonight. Loved that fire
