    I hate to tell people Van Gundy offensive is slower then Stotts. I remember the Knicks team when he coach.

    We have guards that excel making insanely tough shots. They lift Stotts up with them. How often do we see a set where we can say "Wow, thats something new and creative that got us a great look"? Rarely if ever.

    They were missing Iggy/Cuz/KD. No shit. they were looking for pieces and didn't find any. it wasn't some deliberate attempt to lay down.

    Next year I'm hoping to see Lillard & CJ moving with purpose and cutting hard to get open off of traps.
    Portland just doesn't do enough of that.

    A retread is probably not the right move. All the good coaches in the league came from good scouting and discussions with the right people. Not really sure Olshey is gonna do that.

    Neither Van Gundys would sit well for Dame.

    You know the funny thing is, we trapped Curry this game and EVERY time we did he had Draymond Green wide open to cut to the basket and/or make a play... Harkless/Aminu/Turner did fuck all while being wide open.

    Stotts isn’t going anywhere after taking us to our first wcf in 19 years. If Allen was alive he’d be getting a 10 year extension. Everyone just better hope whatever roster tinkering we do works.

    I don't understand why Collins and Leonard never played together.

    We lost this game on the boards.

    Out shot them from the field and three, Out assisted them! Dame shot better than Curry. CJ shot better than Klay. Meyers outplayed Draymond for most of the night. but nearly a 20 rebound difference is gonna bite you in the ass eventually

    Maybe they don’t need to be his friend but his coach first.

    Warriors are a championship team because they know how to close games. Portland did not deserve to advance.

    I have enjoyed talking basketball with many of you guys this year. Tomorrow Ill feel better Im sure, but man such a great run to get this far to just choke it away like they did... Thats hard to swallow, they may never have this opportunity again.

    Its the way they lost that sucks, like it really felt like GS toyed with them and took large chunks of the games off because they knew they could.
