Only complaint was the 12 offensive boards we gave up.

We out-assisted the Warriors 33-24. Had less turnovers as well.

Here's a great attribute about this team -- we weather the storm.
GSW got rattled and crawled away. We took the onslaught and played on, knowing the tide could change if we hang in there.

White kept us in it, Jaylen brought us back, and Horford and Smart blew it open. Good stuff from Pritch and Rob and 13 assists for Tatum.
We didn't get much from Theis or Grant, but everyone else chipped in.
How about that 4th quarter?! 40-16. That's how you finish a game.

Only complaint was the 12 offensive boards we gave up. Yes, but I think only 3 in the second half, so we tightened that up.

There was all the defensive adjustments! Count Tatum out? 13 assists! So proud of them! And what about Big Al??💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 What a game. We have so many options that so many analysts counted out. Long series but great start!! Ok, game ball goes to? Al

I wonder why Kuminga and Payton and Moody didn't play?

I questioned early Ime not splitting up Al and Rob but it worked out. If Theis and GW can hold the line during those minutes it makes the pair of them so much more important when in the game together. Theis did not look up to the task tonight. It worked out but hoping he can regroup and give us some solid playing time.

Fundamentals. Find your guy and block out! The key against GSW is to not give them any second chances. If they get them it makes it so much tougher. If we block out and rebound we would t have needed so many clutch shots from Al, Smart, DW, PP and the rest of them.

One more comment I noticed was that Ime kept Big Rob right around his average minutes protecting that knee. He played 24, which is above average but of I remember correctly he was right around 19-20 minutes every game he played in before that, so not too far above average and with two days rest on all games but the back to back (one day rest) at home, hopefully it’ll work out with him playing because we definitely need him out there!

Yep love listening to his presser. And love to hear how Ime challenged him to be a better all around player. Very key and difference from Tatum’s past. Off shooting night so find a way to contribute. Great coaching!

Knowing that the next game won't be till sunday, and seeing that Rob wasn't laboring, I think that gave Ime confidence that he could play Rob more.

Wow the highlights gave me goosebumps! Finally got to sit back and watch them after the pressers and a bit of celebration whiskey.

I wonder why Kuminga and Payton and Moody didn't play? Finals. So Kerr likely kept his rotation quite short. Curry, Klay, Dray, Wiggins, Looney Then Poole and Otto which are their usual guys off the bench. Kerr opted for Iggy over Payton. But in most cases, in the Finals, you're keeping your rotation real tight. 8 guys.
