yeah, we lost to a really good team with the best record in the league. wow, what a shocker. melo only took 12 shots. isn't that what we want, for him NOT to chuck up so many shots? he was 50% btw.
what really killed us IMO was the turnovers. warriors only had 8 turnovers the whole game. we had 15, which isn't an absolutely terrible number by itself, but if you only force 8 turnovers from the other team, especially when it's the warriors, you're probably going to lose. i'm kind of surprised and impressed that it was as close of a game as it actually was, especially since we were painfully awful in that first quarter. you can't let the warriors build a substantial lead on you right from the gate. even if you have a 1 point lead at halftime, in essence you're still playing catch up.
our defense is whack. we've seen it all season long. but our defensive coordinator, or whatever title you want to give it, isn't going to be replaced. hopefully someone smarter than dolan is already interviewing people for phil's replacement after he makes some draft picks this summer. get a real defensive coach to work with hornacek, someone who's not going to help phil play his manipulative games (because hopefully phil will be gone by the start of next season), and we'll more than likely see some better results. i really do believe that in itself will yield some significant results, something solid to build off of.
well at least it SHOULD. but then again, it's pretty obvious there's something just downright suspicious and shady about this organization in general in the first place.

and lack of scoring from CLEE/LT who both played major minutes. I keep saying CLEE should be coming off the bench as his production is too inconsistent to be a starting 2 guard in today's guard-centric NBA. But the tank marches on...,,
