    while I agree with you, he single handedly kept us in the game with that 3 followed by a vet foul drawn for 3 free throws. chocked in the end, I know, but jabari, alpi and ime are much more to blame.

    Clint was +11 in 12 minutes. Great job letting him rot on the bench, Ime.

    You da man!

    I'm done with these types of coaches. They never win anything

    This team gets out coached everytime. The Warriors without Steph and Butler, got easy shots everytime. It also starts with everyone on that team setting a decent screen. This team and the incompetent coaching staff, can't even setup a play design to get anybody any easy shot.

    Nope it was a mediocre front office trading for an old big name player.

    Out coached and out-played today. Amen and Reed played their hearts out but it wasn’t enough against the hospital Warriors…

    Alpi has got to figure something out because since 2026 he’s not been playing as well as he should. At least we got to see a couple of lineups with a lot of spacing today—but Alpi needs to take advantage of his matchups instead of throwing something up, shouting “Eiiiiiyyy!!!”, then looking at the ref with his hands up when he doesn’t get the call.

    Also, we lost 3 jump balls against Al ****ing Horford, who is old enough to be Reed’s dad. And we have another game tomorrow, which we’ll likely be dead tired for. Ugh…

    I also think we made Jabari come back a little too early, his shot isn’t there and he wasn’t moving as well as usual.

    If he's not a center what is he? He can't keep up with centers and can't shoot, you think he'll keep up better against power forwards? lol

    1-6 in overtime this season. Doesn’t bode well for the playoffs.

    The Warriors were extra motivated for this one lol, they'll go back to sucking and probably won't even get in the playoffs at the end.

    Rockets should not have lost to them, no doubt, but they aren't this motivated night to night, they always get up for this team though for whatever reason.

    11 YEARS OF THIS ****! It doesn't matter who plays, who's injured, who's not injured. The Warriors absolutely own the Rockets.

    11 ****ing years, man.

    100%

    Created a huge hole with that lack of a PG offense.

    WTF does he have to do to start?!

    Rockets would be better with a low usage rim running C that can defend and handle playing 28-30 mpg…they don’t even need to be able to shoot, and we’d still be better off

    you’re not doing sh*t handing a postup big with no touch a whole bunch of possessions

    Oh no doubt. But you can’t really go off on your burners when you brick 2 FTs and end up losing by 2.

    The reason why I take this harder than the other losses against bad teams:

    1. Other bad teams aren't running literally a bunch of G-League players out there for big minutes. This GSW team is so decimated by injuries that, in terms of their actual roster, they should be the worst team in the league, bar none. We had the best, second-best, and third-best player on the court, more depth, more everything.

    2. We actually were as close to full strength as we're going to get without FVV/Adams.

    3. The bad coaching was incredibly obvious. Kerr got his team at least 5 points with his coaching alone. Ime cost us points and possessions with his bad rotations and bad playcalls.

    Ime has to go. Enough enough is enough.

    Honey, wake up! It’s the latest “worst loss” of the Rockets season! :D

    Knicks, next week Heat, next week(today) Warriors, maybe Blazers tomorrow
