Klay is off again tonight. Steph equally iffy. Noticeable slump in the performances of late. Kerr needs to break a board or something. Getting killed by an average Bulls team. Yeesh.

Another crunch time loss.

Really really bad shooting night from the Splash brothers.

Back to back Ls.

The Bulls usually show up against the big boys. Handed the Cavs and Raptors multiple L's. The issue I think for the Warriors is Steph and Klay continually launching threes on nights they are clearly not falling. They are settling instead of using their athletic ability and intelligence to get better shots. Its mind boggling

I agree. The struggle continues until they play hard.. Steph leads in drives to the basket I don't know why he should be settling even if it's his first instinct..

Both, because both games could easily have been won if Klay in particular made just 2 extra shots. Really. His own slump has been more stinging because the ball movement usually leaves him uncontested (the way Harrison Barnes was in the finals) but uncharacteristic of Klay, he has missed such shots especially crunch time like he did Back to back against Wiz and Bulls. The defense has not missed KD neither has the offense missed him per se (obviously he still makes a difference). It is how poor Steph (but especially Klay have been).

Curry's 3s I can excuse because at the moments when he launched most of them, we needed 3s to either take a lead or significantly reduce the deficit. So more than half the time the 3s were contested and bearing down to the final seconds of the shot clock.

In Klay's case, routine shots were being missed. I remember when it was 85-84 with GSW in front and the ball was moved in a way Matt Barnes only needed a lay up to stretch the lead. He saw Klay open at the 3point wing to the right so he passed it out to Klay. With Klay, having more than 3 secs to settle and hit the jump shot, stretching the lead by 4 with just over 2 mins to go, Klay missed it.

That wasn't even the only time; routine lay ups were missed by him. Routine 2point shots in the paint. D West missed a couple himself. The only guy who seemed to force his shots and make them was Shaun but even he took an extra second to hit a buzzer-beater in the end of the 3rd quarter so the shot was eventually canceled.

My only worry with the team is that even with KD we have lost all crunch time games this season. These are games we continued to win all through the regular season, last time. Also, Klay and Curry have shot really badly away from Oracle so that's part of the problem as well.

The good thing is, if they maintain their 3 game lead against Spurs (which looks harder now because we play them 2ce in March) and finish as the WC leaders, we would have that home court advantage which implies that Curry and Klay would have about 4 games to still shoot well and win games.

curry making 4/31 three points attempts

Klay making 7/42 three points attempts ...... I was so happy when I heard Durant will be out for 4 weeks



golden states will have a taste of what we are having without J. r Smith


korver is doing a great job though

The style is just too Boom or Bust for my liking. And this was the good thing about K.D coming. You can see on some nights Steph's shots aren't even getting near to the basket especially on the road. When you take 2 or 3 shots like that as a player I feel you should sense your game is off and try something different. This is why guys like LeFlop are tough to stop.

If Steph, Klay and Green raise their game K.D will not be missed in the regular season and maybe the first round so I don't see any cause for panic tbh.

Klay is very streaky. I also think he has gotten comfortable just slanging 3's. He has the size and athleticism to be much more than a catch and shoot guy.

And how does this help the Cavs win more games or how does it benefit you as a human? No one would wish LeBron to get hurt let alone Westbrook or Harden. Without apology, that's a stupid and ignorant statement.
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 12:04pm On Mar 03, 2017
The Cavs roster is really-really good if everybody stays motivated,I had my doubt but the cavs GM came through. Let just hope Lue can mange the roster proper.

The 3s will only help the wins be blow-outs. I just need Klay to make a lay up or a 2point shot. He tends to make neither of those these days. Curry's misses on the other hand are inexplicable because he is not hitting shots off the dribble away from his home court.

We don't miss KD as much as you think until we (if we)meet you guys so I think your celebrations are unwarranted especially when you are 7 losses away from GSW even with Lebron playing a ton of those games.

What respect do you need? They would have trolled today but they just realized they just lost to Boston; are still 7 games behind and lost to the same Bulls.

Enjoy the bad run. It is very rare. grin

you are talking shiiiit cus you are one of those little boys that started supporting golden states two years ago because of curry


Kd getting injured will make it more possible for you guys to be shorthanded during the playoffs and there will be more possibility of getting knocked out easy if his injury will be that long

This,right here, is what great players do. They don't just rely on one aspect of their game.
