    Your replies are becoming more and more worthless to this thread.

    So Morey signed him for $8-$9m to provide us with these stats? He's exactly Corey Brewer v2.0 without the energy.

    Also learn how to use caps, apostrophes and two spaces after every period. Didn't they teach you that in 2nd grade?

    I guess people like you appreciate Ryan Anderson's dribble off the back heel with no one around for a turnover for an uncontested 3 pointer by Curry? Or what about that one rebound where no one was around and he tried to secure it with his stomach instead of with his hands? Ball flew out of bounds resulting in another possession for the dubs which doesn't even show up in the stats sheet as a turnover. What about the PJ Tucker under the basket all alone layup brick? Or what about PJ's constant foot on the line brick 3 pointers? As you know these type of plays are gut wrenching and momentum changers. If we play like this in the playoffs expect to get sent home sooner than later.

    I feel like PJT plays well alongside Ariza or Mbah a Moute, but suffers when he's the lead wing defensive stopper. What does the data say?

    No question that Ryno has been in a serious funk for multiple weeks now. His shot is so off that now he's terrified to shoot. No question.

    He and Tucker both played well against the Warriors though. Yes he still had a couple of bad plays and din't make any 3s, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a part of that victory. Dude hustled on the boards. I hope he can get his shot figured out because it's a big drag right now.

    I actually see it the other way around. Warriors played and shot like crap which normally they don't. Those uncontested turnovers and getting blocked on 3 point attempts at the end of regulation were the game clinchers.

    They appeared tired from all those consecutive road games and didn't have the energy needed to beat the 2nd best team in the league.

    Yea seems like it. Having Luc seems to help him. It seems he shoots the 3 better when Ariza or Luc pass him the ball.

    The Warriors shot like crap? I had to listen on the radio but looking at the box score it looks like they shot well from 3?

    Yeah, I don’t get it either. It frustrating to see Green sitting in the bench knowing he can fill it up. Hell, I’d rather see a d-league player on the court than these two.

    This forward rotation is killing us (offensively).

    Yeah Tucker hustles and has heart no doubt but he's just not that good of a player on most nights. Need more talent at that position.

    Expecting PJ to hold Cousins or Davis is foolish . He's a 6'5" dude who is thicc and can play the 4/5 for stretches .... He ain't gonna body up true bigs for the whole game.

    We did best tonight when we had Ariza or Luc guarding one of the bigs and using their length and Clint guarding the other .

    Tucker was a +9. 4 steals, boxed out and intelligent help defense. He missed a couple corner 3s he typically makes.

    other than ariza making a few 3's second half, this game was a showcase of our atrocious offensive production from the forwards that pringles chooses to play. (not green)
