    So despite my obvious disappointment, we fought until the end.
    I hate ESPN like the rest of you, I hate the Warriors like the rest of you, but the fact remains they beat us and deservedly advance.

    But let's not be bitter, lets get better.

    Love this franchise, love hanging out on these boards.

    Over to you Daryl Morey, lets improve!

    I'm sorry but JR is the only person who should make a thread like this ever

    We need another ball handler. Someone who when a play falls apart can make things happen. One guy (Harden) is not enough. Chandler Parsons was another one whom we lost over the offseason

    We need our bigs to focus solely on free throws and get way better

    We need a play book

    We need to abandon analytics. Analytics have told the nation that it does not work in the Playoffs. A barrage of three pointers attempted have killed the Rockets.

    All great points, would love Ty Lawson, with him and Jet off the bench hopefully we'd be set. Trade Jones, have D-Mo start and hopefully bring Josh back as a backup.


    What do you think we do about Brewer, Pap, KJ, Beverley?

    yeah not huge names but all part of the plan

    We need to get Dennis Schroder. He's going to be a stud at the PG spot.

    Need a second playmaker and multiple bench players... Amazing we got this far.

    Like everybody else has said, need to vamp up the PG position, Pf spot too, and we need more shooting and defense wherever we can find it.

    Upgrades to the coaching staff is always welcomed as well, I don't see McHale leaving but maybe we can get a nice assistant coach in.

    Ain't that the truth, Ariza has to be the best non- box score contributing player I have ever seen. I love that guy

    PLAYMAKER(s)
    PG
    Pure shooter
    PF who can hit a j and rebound
    World-class assistant coaches since McHale's not going anywhere

    So what gives? A year ago we beat Dubs 3-1 handily and this year they took 8 of 9

    Point Guard is the problem. You have to have more playmakers. I expect Morey to address it.

    Yep I agree on the play maker angle. We need more than 2 players (Harden and DMO) that can create their own shot. We have to stop relying on one player for offense. Teams win championships. Get a PG.

    Their shooters improved
    Core stayed together
    Core bought into their roles
    Addressed their weakness (defense)
    Became media darlings for whatever reason and now get away with a lot

    they are super talented and super deep. They have some borderline all-stars from the past who took far-lesser roles to win, they brought in Livingston who had a great season in brooklyn the year prior.

    Draymond went from solid backup to all NBA caliber, Bogut was healthy, Barnes developed.

    I hope I don't sound like a smart ass, but thats what gives

    We definitely need a PG, whether that's via draft or trade. I can see morey putting a Jones + KPap + Salary filler + 18th pick for another piece. Also desperately need shooters. This team can compete on an even higher level when we get real deep threat shooters taking 3s instead of Jones or Smith.

    We have no playmaker outside of James Harden. Last year we had Parsons and Lin. I like Ariza better than Parsons, but we need at least need a playmaking PG in the offseason.
