The thing I’m kinda pissy on… the backcourt was working. Key was starting to do well off the bench… Dunn with the starting group. So now we aren’t going to see just how good that Collins/Kessler/Lauri frontcourt is because the guard play is dookie. Or maybe the front court causes the dookie backcourt… like when you are experimenting you need to change one variable at a time to see what works. Just throwing **** against the wall ain’t it.

Terrible effort tonight. Terrible selfishness.

The team also refused to throw it to the corner to Taylor for threes. JC put up some horrid layup attempts THT also had some dandies in the second half. That was a masterpiece of dog ****. If Will isn’t in on the tank then I can’t really explain what teh effs that was.

When the crowd was quiet there was a fan that loudly yelled "Will Hardy you suck".
I'm all for letting the new guy grow, but it was a funny moment.
 
I gotta say I'm feeling a bit bad for Hardy. The FO keeps breaking stuff that he has just spent months fixing. Did it last year at the DL, did it (unintentionally) in the offseason by acquiring Collins and not trading away one of the vet guards and now did it again.

I'm not sure thats a thing that bothers Hardy as he seems to be on board with the program, but its certainly true.

Can anyone find a possession from this game where Keyonte actually played D?

Come on now, don't "****" on the kid.

Patience!!

On a more serious note – the Warriors mercilessly hunted both Key and Hendricks every time they were on the floor. Keyonte trying to deal with some of those high ball screens looked like a fly going against a windshield.

He's just nowhere near ready for a starting role in the NBA. Of all the questionable decisions Hardy has made, this one smells the most like a front office order.

Not to hate on keyonte but I've posted twice now where be was 5th from last and then about a month was 15th from being dead last in defensive efficiency.
 
We lost the game in the first half when we couldn't get back on defense, even off of makes, and in the second half when we couldn't make shots. I hate to pile on, but a lot of the not getting back and not making shots was Keyonte, he was really bad last night. I think Hardy also deserves a little blame as Dunn should be starting and Kessler and Collins shouldn't be playing together, but he's obviously been dealt a bad hand by the FO, and I'm also not sure how much they are dictating his roster decision making. Hardy saying that Keyonte is starting because, "he is the future." sounds like FO talk, not HC talk.

Doesn’t sound like minutes need to be earned right now. Only way to explain the rotation and minutes played is Hardy is in on the tank.
