Series Thread: 3) Warriors vs 6) Nuggets

Klay/Poole/Curry all with 26

Draymond needs to shoot it sometimes. He's not even looking at the hoop right now.

LOL you will never accept Draymond.

Can't really say the Warriors are suffering with him playing his game. They have 4 scorers out there he doesn't need to be.

@Robotech as Dray picks Jokic's pocket. Scoring is not what he's about.

Remember Shane Battier? Not an exact comp but not every good player is a scorer. Unlike Battier, Dray is going to the Hall of Fame.

He was taking shots earlier in the game. This whole 4th quarter, he looked like he was playing hot potato.

OK maybe it will be a sweep. They might take the foot off the gas and win in 5.

It kinda seemed like he lost confidence at some point in this game. Maybe it was after he got called for an offensive foul on one play and then Gordon blocked his shot on another play. The offense is better when he's willing to take some shots.

I mean, ok yes it's better when he does but that's a really small thing in the big picture of how they win games.

I watched the game on the local Comcast, and they interviewed Dray just now, he was hilarious. Like "you know that guy that was in the G league last year? He's our #1 option now" and making a face like I know it's crazy but that's how it is, we are the big 3 + 1 now.

Yes I know KD but that was the big 3 + 5 or so

Kerr always encourages it. Draymond's been pretty good on offense lately. I just noticed in this 4th quarter that he became really passive and kept passing the ball to people who were like 3 feet away even though he had a chance to get up a good shot.

 

[Robotech]

I hope Poole can figure out how not to fall every single time. Scary.

Take load management to the next level and sit Curry, Klay, Dray, and Poole for Game 4. These games at high altitude can't be easy.

Eh I don't think they have to be so dramatic like that, but it's a good idea to go into it saying they will play short minutes no matter how the game is going. Maybe sit Iggy because he old.

Kerr texting Pop right now to ask him what he should do.

Poole's just so blazing fast and herky jerky quick that's it's probably hard for him to NOT fall sometimes after some of those shots.
He's still young and agile, but yeah...I do wince once in a while when he gets into the paint on a drive towards the rim after he leaves his feet.

Indeed, that's just how top 15 coaches operate

 

[msgkings322]

Jokic 37/18/5 with 3 steals though

NO HELP

Amazing how he can take and make shots when it appears that there is no room.

 

[Robotech]

Is it just my imagination, but did Jordan Poole get taller and longer this year?

It's like he has another gear......almost Ja like for lack of a better comparison.
Morant is another guy who ends up on his butt and on the floor a lot after many of his shots.
