So we just gon' pretend GSW aren't shorthanded???

[TheMan]

They are missing their All Star center DeMarcus Cousins...of course they're gonna struggle a bit vs the Rockets.

Bunch of low IQs :facepalm

[kennethgriffen]

having steph curry on their team makes them short handed

for every 1 playoff victory he provides he nearly costs them 2

[Xiao Yao You]

The series might already be over if Cousins was playing. He would have been isolated in the pick and roll everytime down court. Kerr would have had to bench him or watch him pout

[NBAGOAT]

you ask most gs fans, they tell you he's been a net negative this year.

[SpaceJam2]

Starting Stephen Curry is already a handicap so they were shorthanded the moment he was getting significant playing time. Thankfully Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are doing their best to carry him

[Stephonit]

Kerr has been a complete moron and failure as a coach for this series. Throughout the year while the Rockets obsessed over the Warriors, Kerr didn't develop anyone off the bench to help plug the gaps. If he came up with any countermeasures against the Rockets after their close shave last year it isn't obvious.

Yes he's still a bad coach. The Warriors are better without DMC. It pains me to say it but I think if Durant keeps playing the way he has been in the playoffs the Warriors will still win it (I hope I'm wrong).

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Yeah bro.

Once they get back DMC they'll have a shot.

Gonna be tough when they're THAT star-laden, but proving HATERS wrong is what its about.

[sportjames23]

The hatred for Steph on this board is absolutely disgusting. :mad:

[ErhnamDjinn]

Its not Demarcus thats the issue , its lack of bench, prior to his injury the only decent bench guy was Andre, Shaun is in his last legs and no longer reliable, no idea why Jordan Bell is being blackballed but if you expect to score with a 2nd unit of Looney, Mckinnie and Jerebko I dunno about that.

[LoneyROY7]

GSW defense is much more formidable without Cousins.

Rockets just that good.

[Celtics 1825]

They lost Boogie, so basically they have the same roster as last year when they won the championship. So no excuses.

[PeroAntic]

Problem is Steph has declined, or carrying an injury, or is tactically exposed at this point.

[bullettooth]

Boogie or not, the team is stacked. They should be steamrolling through the competition.

Kerr doesn't have a magic wand to turn those scrubs on the bench into anything.

[Stephonit]

Jordan Bell got some burn during a crucial portion of last year's game 7. But this year he's somehow unplayable for no reason I can discern. Kerr had 82 games to do something to prepare for this series that was easily foreseeable and he did nothing except maybe try to develop McKinnie who was basically a McCaw replacement. The team has been lackadaisical and it starts with Kerr.

[GimmeThat]

Draymond Green averaged 10.6 rebound last year, particularly 11.9 against the Rockets

they just need him to go back to PF mode instead of pass mode

[ImKobe]

GSW defense is much more formidable without Cousins.

Rockets just that good.

:roll:

If Klay and Steph were even "average" from three, this series would already be over in 4 games. Warriors almost forced OT in a game where they shot 8/33 from three.

Maybe its less about them having off nights and more with Rockets defending 3 points great?
