GS vs Jazz Friday night.......

As I said, I actually think Quins biggest mistake was putting starters in. They came in with nothing to play for. Our bench guys would've given more effort.

And possibly lost the game.

I really think the effort in the last 8 minutes was designed. Starters were out there because the Warriors got red hot in the 4th and Quin didn't want the game to slip away. At the same time he didn't want to burn the starters out. I think that's why our guys were coasting it at half speed. It was quite clear we weren't attempting to go all out. We were just trying to do enough. It was made tougher because the Warriors just never cooled off.
 
For all the shade that gets thrown at our bench, they actually had things relatively in hand, then the starters (+Ingles for a while) came back in and **** the bed.

The starters came back at the 8:13 mark with the score 85-102. They gave up a 24-11 run, and even managed to make it interesting by going 2-4 on free throws in the last 17 seconds when the Warriors started fouling.

Douchebag K and other denizens of Conley Island might be pleased to know that Conley had 8 of those 11 points. Donovan scored the other 3.
 
Not worried about this at all. Playing D Leaguers is dangerous and everyone always thinks you walk out with a W. It was my biggest fear playing an 0-5 Sacramento that everyone thought we had in the bag. Said the same about this game. Wins are wins. It doesn’t matter how you get them. We’ve been rolling with moral victories for a while. **** those. Ws are Ws.

That said, I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a guy have absolute impact on every possession down the stretch of games like Rudy has the past few weeks.

Spellman was my guy in the draft. Tonight you saw why.

I knew Draymond was out, but even despite knowing that, I had also heard “Green is out” separately and was surprised when Jeff Green checked in.

Conley looked good.

Mudiay has had an impact this season, but I don’t think this is good. He’s a participant in rendering Ingles useless.

I believe if Ingles starts that it’s best for him. People say it’s not best for the team, but I say that it ends up being best secondary to Joe returning. The idea of the bench being helped by Joe isn’t a valid argument. He’s worthless on the bench because 1) those guys don’t move the ball and 2) they suck so there’s nobody to distribute to and 3) he never has the ball in his hands at all.

So either start Joe or make him the de facto backup PG.

Great post. The players know this was supposed to be a win and played accordingly. Per my earlier post in this thread, I thought Quin was just playing our starters to work out the kinks, but in retrospect I'm glad he did, we might have lost this game otherwise.

Love Joe but he can sure help his cause by not throwing a lazy ***, low success rate pass every minute or two he’s in the game.
