Anthony Davis exits w 2 minutes left in the 3rd.. Doesn't reappear until 6 left in the 4th.. Thoughts?

Dude was having his best game of the year. Smith and Rivers got too much run down the stretch. Would've liked to see GV and AD more at the end.

I was actually ok with Rivers staying in for a while because he was making GSW work on defense. But Jason Smith turned in arguably his worst game as a Hornet and shouldn't have been in for as long as he was.

However, these last few games tell me that Monty is really trying to keep Davis from playing big minutes. I guess they are trying to pace his rookie year, which I'm ok with IF that's what they are doing.

I was really puzzled by it. I can understand riding Smith when he's playing well but he was playing pretty poorly and Davis was dominating. I really didn't get it at all. Gordon got in quicker than him and he's still getting sore after games.

It sucked.. He rested Davis and Gravy too long.

Warriors top 4 scorers played 36,38,38,38 mins respectively. Gravy was our leading minute getter with 34. We do need bench experience, but we are fighting for a long shot at a playoff birth, we need to play our best at least 35mins a night. Look at box scores from around the league, these guys play 38 mins and up every night. Home crowd at least deserves more of our best 7 or 8 for the most part of the game.

Davis should have been in the 4th with about 8 min left...he didnt come in until about 5min left in the game. fricking weird. Considering GS had no real post prescence

he probably should have come in earlier, but that's not the reason for the loss.

bad defense, too many fouls (GS was 30-35 from the line), poor foul shooting and bad TOs at the wrong time.

tough loss but a good game against a deep, talented team.
