    These refs really don’t want to call fouls on the warriors

    Scoot cutting with or without the ball is a good thing.

    4 guard lineup, eh? Makes sense.

    It’s like clockwork.
    If Ant dribbles twice left once right and crosses back over the next motion is to shoot the jumper.

    Seems about where they'll end up unless they pull everyone the last 6 weeks. Going 15-42 to finish the seasons would barely be an increase from their current winning percentage. Though if we trade Grant/Brogdon, 21 might be a stretch.

    Jabari is not a 5....Duop is a better 5

    Scoot's defense has taken a leap upward to another level.

    Either the refs are more lenient or he's figured out how not to foul (or both) and still be effective.

    I don't know if we'll win the challenge and even if we do, it looks like GS got the rebound, so I'm not sure it's a great use of the challenge.

    Coach Billups challenging the terrible call. Warriors ran into each other and refs whistled Walker for a shove.

    I didn't love the call, but the challenge made no sense unless he's worried about Walker fouling out. The Warriors got the rebound.

    Billups' challenge specialist needs to be demoted.

    Can someone please rebound the ball? When is Ayton coming in?

    Jabari is working his ass off defensively

    I love the setup for Scoot to drive. Keep running that.

    Simons is making a ton is awful decisions on both ends. The three point guard lineup is probably not what you wanna close with….
