Man refs have definitely been something tonight but some bad decision making on GSW’s side hasn’t helped
Totally agree with this. Honestly can’t understand how either fanbase can act like the refs are just “favoring” one side - they’re being incompetent on both lol
3 techs in under a minute lmao
What? JB’s gone 2/3 lol
What? The whole thing with Tatum is we’ve historically fallen way off when he’s not on the floor.
Despite all the other good players we’ve had over the years, the difference in performance with him on vs off the floor has consistently been insane.
Haven’t looked much into Shai’s on/off numbers yet but I’d be pretty surprised if what you’re saying is true based on the little I have seen.
Tatum missing that ft is obviously him sticking it to the refs because he knows how it feels to get a tech for clapping
Won’t hear any differently
Oh Jrue’s been great so far. He also fits better in our new defensive scheme than I think Smart would while Smart was a better fit for our schemes under Ime.
They share a lot of similarities as defenders, but I’ve always felt that Jrue is a better lockdown guy while Smart thrives as a defensive playmaker. Kerr has compared him to Draymond in that sense.
Jrue is this more steady overwhelming defensive presence where you put him on a guy and he’s just stifling play after play. Smart thrived in chaos and as a disrupter, he didn’t too often shut a single star down throughout the game, but he could blow up plays like nobody else in the nba imo.
If we’re talking overall defense by a guard as opposed to just best defense of guards, Marcus Smart should 100% be mentioned here.
Moody best prospect on GSW still idc
Haha Jokic does seem particularly happy today
Saying Butler = MJ or acting like “playoff Butler” never has any bad games is overrating him, yeah.
That doesn’t mean he’s not still an exceptional player and elite playoff performer. He is.
Tatum is too by the way. And I’d say he was being overrated too if he was getting comments similar to those Butler had been getting at one point.
Ivey has a 62.4% ts after a 52.8% ts last year lmao
Ridiculous improvement in finishing specifically which he was awful at last year
