[Game] Kings at Warriors
- Thread starter rainmaker
- Start date
I love Tyreke, but when you dont have a jumpshot it makes game-ending plays incredibly hard to make. Refs dont call fouls late in the game, the defense can sag off because they know you arent shooting. Its hard to make good things happen going to the rim when when you arent getting the calls and the defense can play agresssive without having to worry about a jumper. He isnt a very good game finisher right now. We dont have one.
How the hell can you blame Westphal when we're up 9 and then just miss free throws so that they can cut the lead? Or when Tyreke drives in and puts up ... I don't even know what he was doing. You say that's because Westphal didn't draw up a play. But did he not draw up a play, or did we just not execute it?
They'd certainly do better or show more improvement under those coaches, except maybe Larry Brown. Coaching definitely plays a part in it, but today we just lost because of free throws. What's new? We got a billion more attempts than them, that WAS our offense. But if the players don't knock it down, not much the coach can do.
Exactly. The warriors won because they have players who execute better because they are more skilled.
When you have a player like Evans, who isn't as skilled and relies upon his athleticism to make plays, he can hurt the team in close situations like tonight where he drives to nowhere on the baseline and throws up a prayer, or leaves his feet and then looks to pass, resulting in a turnover. Or Cousins who tries to force things too much and make too many moves and ends up with a travel or offensive foul. The game was there, and the warriors won because Ellis and Curry were better than anybody in a Kings uniform, and the kings were unable to make FT's or play sound basketball. This team has talent, but unfortunately it doesn't have skilled, high IQ players, and I will say if Evans doesn't make a huge improvement this summer I would make him avaliable.

lol if we hit free throws guess what happens? heres a hint...we win. the whole rest of your argument is moot. there is no overtime and you cant blame the coach on losing it in OT because we already won. im not saying westphal isnt to blame for some of our losses, but dont let you hate for him blind you. this game was lost because of FTs. end of story
