Lol. Some of yall acting like you've never watched a GS game the last 4 years. Damn near every game is the same thing. Goof around awhile, sloppy play, trailing by double digits usually into the 2nd half, explosion, win.

THANK YOU.

Lol actually according to Marcus Thompson he told the team they were in good shape being only down 12. He said to them they’re usually down 30 by now. Lol your theory that Kerr lays into them daily is still comical
Giving up 81 in the first half and letting the Jazz score 24 points from the line because they were to lazy to move their feet on D? You don't think Kerr had a thing or to to say about that?

Considering there were reporters in the locker room commenting on what Kerr said and no one mentioned contrary to that says that he didn’t lay into them as you always say he does.

I missed the entire 1st half....but it looks like the Dubs D put the Jazz on Lockdown in the 2nd half....and w/o AI no less.

Nice moment for Jerebko too on that game winning tip in.

It totally felt like I was watching a playoff game.

Awesome road win in a hostile place.

Gonna be another fun season.

I watched the first half. Utah is an outstanding team. Last season was no fluke.

Super early, but I see the class of the West as follows:

GS

Houston
NO
Utah

Everybody else is a notch below, and I don't think Houston is necessarily better than either of these teams.

That said, GS allows 81 first half points on the road to a very good team, and still wins without Iggy. Jones and Looney both look very solid and Cousins will be back before too long.

Nobody is beating a healthy Warrior team this summer.

OKC feels like they belong in that 2nd tier (with Westbrook of course)

They might. But I am not sure about that. I feel a lot better about the other teams mentioned. I will reserve judgement on them until I see them play with Russ and Roberson. That will be awhile.

I agree with this, but I think without their defense from last season Hou will slide down in the seeding to around 5-6.

Since when do you trust what the press tells you? Kerr himself says it was the subject of his halftime planning.

If a reporter was in there and Kerr blasted the team that would 100% be reported. You’re just using your standard blinders on this.

If Kerr did nothing to change the 24 fouls and lackadaisical effort in the first half then he has no business coaching the team. Its impossible to believe that he just took that lack of effort without saying anything.

You are right.

But, it is also incredibly naive to assume that "blasting them" is the only way, or even the best way to accomplish that. Screaming and yelling at grown men isn't the best way.

Warriors got the win but it did't come easy. Guess it'll take some more time for the team to gel this year.
