Last night both the Lakers and Suns lost and today Dallas lost. The Warriors new they were likely to lose this game even if they went all out. Seeing as those other teams lost they knew they would not lose ground today and could mail it in since their next game is on Wed. That’s why the line was so inflated. The books were begging for Warriors money knowing they had no interest in playing hard. The whole thing is shady as hell and disgusting if you ask me. |

Wiggins should donate his salary to Quinones, his replacement. |

It’s a great job, if you can get it. I said last year that I’ve never seen anything like this in the NBA in all my life. Steve Kerr and the Warriors have taken player empowerment to a new level. Not only are all NBA contracts guaranteed but now you don’t even have to show up to get paid. Imagine what other players are thinking seeing this? Why use load management as an excuse not to play and get paid when you can just give some personal reason and disappear completely. |

the warriors should have traded this bum after the stunt he pulled last year. Then this year he shows up out of shape and refuses to play hard until he is benched and about to be traded. Then he miraculously starts to come around just before the trade deadline only to literally disappear once again when the Warriors are stupid enough to keep him knowing he cares nothing for the team, the game of basketball and only wants to collect a paycheck. This is taking player empowerment to new lows. Give me load management over this any day. Kerr and the entire Warriors organization should be ashamed and embarrassed for setting this kind of precedent. Of course, they helped create the environment for this type of thing when they allowed Draymond to sabotage the team without impunity the last two years. These guys are the antithesis of “Heat Culture” and hopefully they get exactly what they deserve by the basketball gods. |

Yup. At 94-106 in the 4th they had a 95% chance of winning the game. Complete letdown and meltdown soon after Lue got tossed. You gotta hand it to the guy, unlike Kerr, he knows his team and he knew exactly what he was doing, and as an added bonus, the Clippers went to the foul line 17 times in the 4th |

Lue got himself kicked out to change/stop the Warriors momentum, as they were running away with the game, and it worked. Warriors fell for the trap, thinking the Clippers had thrown in the towel. If Lue doesn’t get himself tossed, it’s a game over as Clippers were sleepwalking through the game. Kerr gets outcoached by Lue yet again going all the way back to the Cavs finals. A sure win turned into a disaster of a loss. Meanwhile you have a guy coming in these threads putting hexes and curses on people and teams. Why? Karma is a bitch and I wish him nothing but what he deserves. |

Having watched every single game of the Niners this year, I can say with certainty that that they chocked. The defense finally showed up but the offense completely let them down. All year, the offense was the one thing you could count on, and they did not come through. Some of it was KC defense, but most of it was self inflicted wounds. |

Quietly, the Warriors have been the hottest team in the NBA. If not for a couple of one-point losses to the Kings and Lakers, with the Lakers game going to double OT, and an overtime loss to the Hawks, the Warriors would be on a 10 game winning streak! Their defensive ranking the last 5 or so games is through the roof and this team is finally healthy, even without Paul, and gelling. I look for them to put together a strong effort here before the all-star break and get revenge against the Leonard-less Cripples team that may have shot it’s wad as it limps to the all-star break looking to get some rest. |

Give me Maxx Crosby over Bosa any day. Bosa overruns the play, doesn’t always set the edge and took himself out of the game to get a breather with the SB hanging in the balance. He is a bum and was a much better player before he got paid. |

I wish they had odds on that! SB Hangover is real. Only one team that’s lost the SB in the past 23 years has gone back there the next year: the 2018 Pats. Fade the Niners next year. |

It's all part of the circle of life. I personally think they should choose the skinny flags over the traditional cotton towel flags when the league pivots into the NFFL Not always about age and experience. Sometimes it’s about personality, innate wisdom, and how person sees and treats others. Not sure you can learn or teach that. Some people gots it and others don’t. Andy has the people-skill and emotional intellect, at least with non-family members, and Kyle is missing a key ingredient, though it’s hard to put the finger on it. |

This is having your team ready at the granular level. Obviously, Shanahan isn’t there yet or he doesn’t see his players as equals and picks and chooses what info he deems fit to share with them. Either way, it speaks to his coaching style and might explain why he keeps coming up short in these games. |

Wilkes winning the battle so far. KC has nothing going on the offensive side. |
