What happen to that defense ? Bogut back , defense got worst.

 

1) Chemistry issues. But it's because the Warriors players are getting complacent on defense. 'Hey, we got Bogut back there to back us up, we can now slack off on defense'.

Without Bogut, they were forced to give 100% effort on D, otherwise they would lose. With him in, they don't give nearly the same effort. Now they're giving up an average of 117+ pts per game over the past 6 games, and losing.

2) They're over helping on D. The guards leave their man to help the bigs doubleteam. Opponents kick the ball back out for wide open 3s.

3) Teams have figured out how to beat the Warriors. Mark Jackson rolls out the same rotations and doesn't adapt when things aren't going their way.

Speaking of which, the Sharks just won yesterday. Now the Warriors are the only ones left who haven't won a game since the 49ers lost the Super Bowl.

 

Stop reminding us!

I'm agreeing with everything you mentioned on defense. The effort and intelligence is not there anymore.

And when the offense gets cold, that's when it gets really ugly. They may be better served giving Bogut less minutes forcing them to sink or swim on D. Slowly build up Bogut's minutes with that defensive style and let him fit into that style.

 

The good news: W's snap the losing streak

The bad news: they nearly gave up 100 to the Suns and now they have to play the Spurs

Hopefully those new ugly shirts will distract the Spurs from scoring too much.

 

You know what's really disappointing? Near the end, when they knew they were going to win (this was about 2 min left), they stopped playing defense. They just stood around and let them score inside at will. Great teams don't do that. You'd think they'd have more motivation after letting previous opponents tear them a new one.

 

It was a sloppy game throughout. There were so many takeaways that the W's gave right back. Either, by a bad pass, or missing a fast break, or just missing an easy shot.

 

Yeah, if they were playing the spurs last game and were losing the Spurs wouldnt let them just go to the basket. oh well at least they put up a W.

 

Warriors trade away Charles Jenkins and Jeremy Tyler for a bag of chips!

 

Hells yeah!!!!
Dubs win in OT. Beat the Spurs for the first time in years!!!!

Not to mention back onto a winning streak. W's turning the corner back the right direction.

 

Bananas in pajamas are running down the stairs, bananas in pajamas are beating up the spurs!

 

 

I'm stoked off tonight's win. let's hope the trend continues!!!

This was the first W's game i have been to in years.
I thought when we were down 11 in the third it was all over.
What a comeback/game/OT.
Place was wild.
There was this guy who had to be 80-90 years old right in front of me and my GF and he was so stoked it was pretty cool.

 

The final minute against the wolves was NUTS!

A win is a win. Way to battle back W's!

 

Yah they were lucky Ridnour missed that last shot driving to the hoop...win could have went either way.
