The Dubs are scared right now – ESPN react to Curry drops 31 Pts, Warriors loss to T-wolves 114-101

Caught up to the does there in the second half and they lose this one to start off this five-game road trip to the t-wolves and more importantly just one game up on the rockets in the Lost column as we welcome everybody to Toyota Warriors post game live with the Hall of

Famer Chris Mullen NBA champion FES is aely I am Bon Hill and the Warriors control most of that game but the early fourth quarter run which we’ll get to it just a second really did them in and the Warriors suffer another tough loss and one thing I will say about the Minnesota

Timberwolves is they’re very consistent with the defensive effort the pressure was there the whole time the whole game they never really got Separation The Warriors never were never able to get separation even when they were turning the ball over in the first quarter they had what how many turn turn nine

Turnovers in the first quarter and the Warriors could never really get that separation because they never let them get loose on the offensive end guys were connected to Steph and Clay even though Steph had a great night 31 points they didn’t let anyone anyone else get those

Easy shots at the basket you got Rudy Gober out the game in the first half and so the attack in the paint was one of the emphasis when you have a guy like that out the paint is just in the second half they they had seven offensive

Rebounds had 14 extra points they just became the aggressive so you can just see the pace of play went Minnesota’s way yeah I thought it was a great game I thought both teams played really well it great execution uh but I think the pace of play was all towards the Minnesota

Timber wolves timber wolves came in averaging 113 points per game they get 114 they average 82 field goal attempts they shoot 85 hold the Warriors to 84 attempts uh just a better pace for the for the um Minnesota Timmy wolves tonight and he said Bonte the biggest difference with a three-point shooting

21 makes for the for the Timberwolves without Carl Anthony town so that was a thing pregame we talked about the Warriors dominating that that category and what happened was the Minnesota Tims did yeah Warriors average usually 92 just over 92 field goal attempts per game well below their average tonight

Just 85 field goal attempts all right let’s take a look at the fourth quarter because really Minnesota ended the third quarter on another one of those runs hitting two straight threes and then they were gone on an early 90 run and overall in that fourth quarter a 198 run

To really take control of this basketball game at one point here they hit three straight threes Willie to take the lead a lead they would never relinquish the rest of the way yeah and you know coming in I think defensively there was certain plays you want to lay

Off and give them a little cushion uh but a lot of times too many open lanes to the to the uh basket and then the some of these three-point shots were just uncontested I thought the bench did a great job for Minnesota bench points tonight 32 to 31 the Warriors bench

Rarely loses that battle but they did a great job of moving the basketball they see every every one of these shots is a shot at The Rim or a wide open dunk or floater right here for Rudy goar it’s just they did a a much better job than

The Warriors of getting open shots moving the ball getting to open lanes getting the ball to Shooters on the corners and it just seems like it seemed like they just made better plays here down the stretch Mike Conley Jr was scoreless at the half finish with 14

Points had some big shots there and the fourth yeah I was going to say it’s a game wore on the timber wolves were more potent offensively had a better balanced attack the Warriors the first three quarters scored 27 points each quarter second half um and FES right I thought

They should have had a biggest separation at halftime timber wolves kind of controlled that second half but overall the pace of play was dictated by the Timberwolves when you play small you got to get them up and down way more so when it when it got you know when it got

When the game got tight you know the timber wolves were playing their type of game you got to give a lot of credit to NAS Reed this game because that first half that first quarter they didn’t have anything going Nas Reed really kept them alive from the three-point line kept

Them just really kept them in the game until Anthony Edwards came alive in the second half really the second quarter after having two points he he just he erupted and then from there you couldn’t stop him he was very Dynamic creating plays for people on the wings like he’s

A he’s a tough guard for anyone but that one-on-one defense is going to be really tough and they got to figure out a way to stop guys like that when they’re hot you bring up Nas Reed 17 points seven rebounds in the first half alone including five made threes and Fitz is

Not lying we’ve been discussing Nas Reed here for about three years now he is a Warriors killer something about that uniform he sees them and he makes everything he was a difference in the first half to keep Minnesota in it but let’s pick up the crunch time tape

Because the Warriors still had a chance to win this game to set the road trip off on the right note down three here Stephen Curry who had a solid night there what a dime to Draymond Green as he finishes Warriors down one here Stephen Curry 9 to 21 overall 31 points

His 26th 30-point night of the Season including that dagger right there five of 11 for the three-point line big offensive rebound by gp2 and this is the ensuing possession perfect play nice just missed the layup in here great defense by gp2 McDaniels who struggled all night got the friendly homecourt

Roll put them up by three and here in transition down three uh Steph takes the quick two have trouble getting the ball in bounds Minnesota calls timeout and and here’s the last play here’s the last play what do you think about this play fezy I love it great screen Steph guard to guard

You’re just hoping that someone messes up a switch right there Steph uh Klay Thompson catches the ball fading a little bit to his left great job by Kyle Anderson to really fight over the screen to contest the shot just tough off balance three right there by the Warriors you know Klay Thompson makes

Those shots but up going off to his that that leg that he he injured trying to stop on the DI to hit the shot it’s a tough one right there the Warriors missed the playoffs in the playin tournament this is a stat they’ll look at a category here most losses when

Having a 12-point lead or more they’re tied with the San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Hawks have struggled in the East Miami’s right there they’re in a playing Zone but San Antonio is one of the worst teams in the league obviously rebuilding so when we talk about 15-point leads 12-point leads

Double digit leads that is a graphic fees fell we’re going to look back at and say well if they could have flip maybe half those games maybe they’re in Seven 8 six but right now the Rockets are right behind them one game behind

Them in the Lost col B the word I use a lot in pregame is consistency the warriors were they’ve been trying to find their Rhythm all year long and if you if you think about the the things we talk about daily it’s turnovers it’s fouling the free the fouling guys on the

Drive it’s it’s it’s playing defense being consistent all these things and taking the right shots these are things we talked about all year long and has come up in different points of the season I’ve said that they have to find a stretch of games where they can they

Have something they can rely on it’s defense it’s offensive Rhythm it’s rotations they get rely on we’ve had so many different lineups I what 20 different lineups this season so far this is the the thing the Warriors have really lacked all year long is consistency but you still have time on

The clock I’m one of those guys that believes that if you have time on the clock you have a chance and here in the last 13 games of the Season you still have a chance to make something happen especially with these guys but here it’s

Why you say what did Yogi FOH SI it gets late early out there Yogi bar out of Indiana right now Yogi bar it gets early out there it gets early get early late out late out gets late early out there also he said no one goes there anymore it’s too

Crowded but listen about to that last play that that’s a tricky time for both offense and defense offensively you know if you inbound the ball and try and run the clock down they’re going to foul you cuz you’re up three so you want to catch and shoot play you don’t want to have

The guy get fouled I thought um slowmo played pretty good defense I thought it was a well executed player we’ve seen Klay Thomson make that shot many times and as far as that graphic goes you know let’s look at tonight’s game and I thought FEI said it perfectly that first

Quarter that first half maybe it’s not a 12-point lead or it’s 18-point lead and when Minnesota makes that run you still have a six-point cushion yep Warriors turned the ball over what once in the first quarter Minnesota had nine turnovers in that opening frame they gave up nine points off turnovers in

That first quarter yet the Warriors went into the second quarter only up nine you would like to see a 13 14 15-point lead there all right let’s break down to Chef’s night number 30 Stephen Curry we chronicled his numbers before the game on a three- game home standand where he

Struggled with his efficiency just 41 a. half% from the floor and 38 from three he had a rolling night 9 to 21 overall but the three ball was rolling for Stephen Curry and Minnesota they had all eyes on number 30 he was able to get off

And keep the Warriors in this game but the minutes play tonight is something we’re going to discuss just 30 minutes for Stephen Curry I thought in a game like this maybe 34 35 minutes because the Warriors they need every game they can get right now they’re in the playoff

Chase you’re asking the wrong person cuz if it was me he’d be playing 42 minutes but again bont think you’re right and fezy mentioned it during the game McDaniels slow-mo so many long athletic Defenders Anthony Edwards tracking Steph Curry you throw Mike Connie on him a different type uh defensive look but I

Always look at the attempts you know 11 attempts tells me first of all good defense second of all the Minnesota Timberwolves dictated pace of play I think I thought Steph was great tonight I think he was in attack mode they needed every one of those 31 points

Because those turnovers in the second in the second half really took the Warriors out of the Rhythm offensively so in those situations Steph Curry says I’m just going to go make some shots which he did right there in the second half but it’s really hard to depend on Steph

Every play The Warriors offense is about using Steph’s gravity to create plays for other guys and when the other guys don’t have it going it was Steph was forc to continue to make play after play after play I think the Warriors offense they have to find a rhythm a Cadence to

Where the guys can continue to do the things that they’ve done to get to this point Draymond making plays coming off of a ball screen with Steph Curry making plays for guys like Jonathan Kinga we’ve seen those LS a JK or a tjd or guys on the wings Klay Thompson Fanning out to

The wings getting those three-point shots I just thought that Minnesota those athletes those long guys did a great job getting the Warriors out of those sets Rudy Gober being in the middle really stopped guys from making those easy layups they usually make those easy buckets that they get from

Post splits and those actions some of those things they got in the first half they lost in the second half Warriors gave up 13 points off turnovers in the second half after giving up just seven in the first half but stefi is 26 30-point night of the Season he

Continues a roll here look to pick that up against Miami Tuesday night all right moving on here to Ant-Man Anthony Edwards and he is a special special talent he plays both ends of the floor defensively he plays hard offensively he gets to any spot he wants to and he got

Off to a slow start just two points in that first quarter but started to find his rhythm at the half at 14 but a solid allaround night for the Minnesota t- wolves without Carl Anthony towns yeah the Warriors did a good job making everything tough for Anthony Edwards as

You said about look at the eight assists and the six rebounds a nice overall performance I thought he hit some clutch shots and physically imposed his will attacking the paint repeatedly not just to score but also to create offense for his teammates and the Edward was was spectacular in the second half his

Athleticism is very apparent when you watch this team team and you watch when they give him the ball and ask him to go by Defenders his first step is incredible he has this elevation where he gets into the paint he backs you down he turns around he has incredible

Elevation much like Jonathan kaminga how he rises but I thought they they made it they made it very physical on him he was he was getting attacked going down to the paint having to finish over these guys gp2 they threw some uh Andrew Wiggins at him threw JK at him they have

A slew of Defenders the Warriors do but I thought that he did a much better job of taking that attention and using it against the Warriors guys like mclin hting shots in the corner or Jaden MCD is just creating shots for easier shots for his teammates so the T wolves

Improved to 6 and three without Carl Anthony towns real quickly here before we go to break is that a title Contender right there Minnesota they’re third in the western conference right now they’ve had some experience in the playoffs is that a team we could see come out west

And maybe meet the Celtics orever else in the East I love the toughness of resilience I think they have the potential they have to be fully healthy they need Carl Anthony towns to be there Carl Anthony towns comes back healthy and you add him to the way these guys

Are playing I think this time off could be a blessing for the role players gaining their confidence you plug in statistically their best player big time difference all right T wolves improved to 25-9 at home one of the best records at home in the league the Warriors shot to Eight an enemy has been defeated Back our Slayer Lane Tower is under attack Al has been defeated your tower has been destroyed your team has destroyed a towero car follow dragon and Slayer have evolved caners have spawned our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack destroyed your tower has been destroyed ultimate our base Tower is under attack
