Has anyone talked about how awful Steve Kerr has been this year in figuring out rotations? Golden State has 10-11 guys they can play and it feels like Kerr has no idea how to pair them on the floor and get production from them. They hit the road and it's even worse.

It's starting to look like he's completely clueless in how to get guys playing time and maximize potential.

On the other hand, you have a first year coach taking free agents and figuring out how to maximize their potential in 2 straight series.

Warriors are really missing what Otto Porter and Bjelica brought last year.

does he though? Pickings get real slim after donte and gp2. Moody can’t score consistently, Kuminga isn’t ready. Poole is terrible now

Eh, it's a flawed roster. Kerr could do better but to put it all on him is just...incorrect.

They have one big on the whole roster, a guy they paid toooons of money that is maybe the worst defender in the league, Curry (who is amazing offensively but a minus defender), and Klay (who just is a shell of himself defensively).

There are few things in sports more beautiful than a Lakers playoff run.

I don’t see it on Kerr. Curry is Curry, Klay is a shell of dynasty Klay, KD is on his burner twitter in another city, and Draymond neutered and emasculated your ascendant star because he got the money Draymond wanted. This year was fricked for the warriors the day that video leaked. No amount of Steve Kerr psychobabble could rationalize the raw power play dynamics of the punch

Championship runs with older teams like the Warriors wear teams down too.

We saw it with the Spurs in 2014. They got the ring and never really made any noise again in the playoffs after that.

It was always going to be the Lakers who shoveled the dirt on the Warriors dynasty wasn’t it?

Denver was always going to crush either one… I just wanted to see the Brokeback Boys humbled sooner.

Well, overall a good season. Congrats to the Lakers. I am now a Nuggets fan for the next two weeks.

Meh does that matter as much in the era of load management?

They certainly treated road games like they didn’t matter

Makes no sense, Lebron is 77 years old and the best player on the court in this game.
