Added to Calendar: 03-14-21

Just logging in and just watched the game so not sure what you guys have been talking about but damn, Bogie was atrocious. The turnovers were bad enough, and the poor shooting, but what really chaps my hide is passing up open looks. Same for Jingles.

The +/- is interesting in this one:

Conley +9
Rudy +11
Clarkson +6
Niang +14


Bogie -24
Don -26
Faves -23
Jingles -9
Royce -18
 
We're clearly getting every teams best punch. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. If you thought we were the 2018 Warriors you were out of your mind.

This seems like the kind of year where 5-6 different teams could win the championship. We're in that group, but definitely not the favorites.
Is there a move we could make, that you think would give us a better chance? Somebody mentioned a trade for Jerami Grant, I like it!
 
Well deserved loss after the atrocious start and lack of d from everyone not named rudy. People not staying in front of their man and having Rudy save their *** is great until Favors comes in. He just gets destroyed. We have to change our scheme and play better man on man when Rudy goes out. We are working toward proving the national narrative that we're not that good as of late.
 
Geez the negativity in this thread would make one think we are 10-28. I still believe in this team. The sky hasn’t fallen.... yet. So let’s not get too carried away with the negativity.
They are 2-4 in their last six. Their two wins were against the Orlando Magic and the most depleted roster in the NBA (who they had to play to the buzzer at home). One of the losses came to a certifiable non-playoff team. And the Warriors might not make the playoffs either.

It's time to be worried.
 
Golden State shot the ball extremely well, and the Jazz's defense was soft for much of the game.

Can't blame Rudy though -- 24 pts, 28 rebs, and 4 blocks. Geez.
Rudy is pretty much always satisfactory at his worst. Rarely is Rudy the problem in a game. So consistent and good a what he does.

The defense is the problem not the offense. Defense is effort and desire. Look at the plus=minus. The players with the worse are the issue. Mitchell is talking games. The Utah rep issue is getting to his head imo.
 
To be honest though, I’m more concerned about our lack of a killer instinct on offense. We get it back to one point down and everybody’s like I don’t want to shoot it , you shoot it! Clarkson needs to be playing more clutch minutes and doing more iso in clutch time IMO. Only guy on this team without a conscience imo.
Well both are issues but usually when we go on runs it's driven by increased intensity on D. And frankly, against teams with players like curry we are not going to win in a shoot-out. We'll win by clamping down on D.
