Down by 22 with 5+ minutes left. Sad to see them go out like this...

poole was bad but klay had a terrible game

our backup guard and looney were only warriors who came to play

HateRed said:

---

End of the Warriors for this season. They put up a sh*t show this series.

---

Klay literally disappeared.
3 for 18

He's been very poor in the playoffs.
And Kerr wont pull him.

Feel bad for Kuminga.
He never got off the bench, besides garbage time during the one blowout, where he scored 10.

Yeah, but at least the other players were good sometimes. Has Poole been good at all? What an incredible backslide by him.

But whatever, it's been a great run. Dynasties don't last forever, and I won't complain about 4 titles and 6 Finals appearances.

and what happened to GP2?

did he even play?

Poole wasnt on the Court when Lonnie Walker IV went off for 15 points in the 4th quarter in Game 4.

We lost 104 - 101.

Klay had 9 points.

~ what are you drinkin' . . . , Jamesons & Guinness, 15 year championship 'We Believe' run East Bay style, and they may be back ( Wiggins & Poole, Dray & Klay, trade fodder?)

Sure, he wasn't on the court because the coaches considered him unplayable at that point. I don't mean other players are blameless, but he's a black hole.

He had a horrible post season.

But you do realize that the Warriors probably dont make the playoffs without Poole during what he did during the regular season.

We barely made it.
By virtue of 4 games.

Go start your own team with your guys Poole and Kuminga... see how you do.

Where do the Warriors go from here? Glad I don't have to decide.

Amazing to see the undrafted Lakers Reaves playing and performing while the last two high W's draft picks have been traded for nothing or sit on bench.

---

It is hard to imagine Reaves is a rookie. He makes such good decisions with the basketball.

---

Second year player.

---

Ah, yes. Still a very high IQ player.

---

I loved his behind the back dribble on his drive to the hoop (or as Pete Maravich called it, "The cross over dribble you can't steal") and then fell backwards and made the shot. He has skills and is difficult to guard.

Kerr: "We had opportunities in Game 1 and Game 4, but we couldnt make plays down the stretch in those two games."

Big C said:

---

---

Starting point: they lost to a good Lakers team, so don't overreact. It's the same group that beat Sacramento 2 weeks ago with Steph putting up 50.

The core four have to stay together, just don't extend Draymond too long. They need to start transitioning the next generation of players in. Those guys need to be able to take regular minutes and they need to be able to score within the flow of the offense, not just Poole jacking up long 3s (he plays like he thinks he's the next Steph; he's not).

I did watch most of the game, but missed first half of Q1

but I certainly missed GP2's 23 minutes and 15 points. All I saw was Divincenzo score a lot ... it's possible I confused the two

Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole.

He must be on crack.

Maybe not: Jaylen Brown is a dynamic player and a Cal guy (irrelevant, except to us here). Brogdon might be the perfect compliment to Steph (mostly not on the court at the same time)

Wiggins is in his prime and is versatile. Hate to lose him, but the W's would love to get out from under the contract they gave Poole... huge mistake.

Possible good trade for the Warriors (I've never done crack... yet.)

I'm not sure I agree.

Are the Lakers really that good?. How far do you think they're gonna go this season? What was their record?

I can't see the Warriors winning another title with this aging core... and "parallel paths" didn't work. Given that, maybe it's time to blow it up and start fresh...

I love Steph, but how much more does he have, for how many games a season?
Draymond rocks my world, but same thing.
Love Klay, but he didn't look so good against LA... probably on a glide path to retirement.

Wiggins, Loon and GP2: Great glue guys.

Poole: too expensive for what he provides... questions about his value to the team (although someone has to be Draymond's designated punching bag)

Kuminga: He'd have to get things figured out over the next six months.

Everyone else: Role players... dime a dozen

Jaylen Brown is an unrestricted free agent after next season and has said he will test the free agent market.

So that deal might be good for Boston in that it gets them out of the choice between busting their salary cap for Jaylen versus letting him walk for nothing in return.

Selfish and dedicated Cal Basketball fan that I am, I'd love to have Jaylen Brown playing in California!

We started Green at center and he's like 6'5"?
We started Payton at PF and he's like 6'3"?

No wonder we lost. Kerr has no only drunken the Kool-Aid on "small ball", he invented it.

They were a VERY different team after mid season trades. Had a poor record before then. The regular season standings are misleading.

Wasn't that quote before he made All Pro and qualified for a big contract? If he leaves Boston, I think he walks away from a lot of dollars....

Yeah, Lakers and Miami in Final 4...I think that tells you all you need to know about the regular season...

I’m sure you’ve heard all the stories of Nikola Jokic — the unwitting superstar.

When Aaron Gordon arrived at his very first @nuggets practice, Jokic moved his shooting routine to a side hoop so Gordon could shoot on the main basket.

When people ask Jokic about his multiple… pic.twitter.com/LSu4UnogZY

Agreed 100%

Im kind of glad that the Warriors are "out" and I dont have to stress with their prospects anymore, especially how horrible they've been on the road.

That, and watching Klay get paid $40 million to average 9 points in the last three games.

I think Kerr's decision to implement an emphasis on the "pick and roll" may have taken Klay out of his normal "flow" of the game. But still. He totally disappeared.

The fact that you didnt know the Lakers regular season record or were oblivious to the fact that without Poole's 20.4 points a game during the regular season the Dubs most likely dont even make the playoffs, is quite telling.

Also telling, is that youre blind to the immense talent that Jonathan Kuminga is.

You say that you want Youth to reinvigorate the Warriors roster. Its shocking that you cant see the talent of JK.

Four of the six games in this series were blowouts by one team or another. Why did Kuminga only get 25 minutes total off the bench after averaging about 20 per game in the regular season?

If it was about matchups he didn't get off the bench much versus Sacramento either.
