Opportunity Blown as Steve Kerr’s Reliance on Small Aging Veterans Fails Golden State Warriors Again
AP News radio’s Ryan Leong and Cyrus Saatsaz hosted a Friday Night Live postgame extravaganza following a dogfight of a game that resulted in a blown opportunity for the Golden State Warriors to make up ground in playoff positioning thanks to Steve Kerr’s continued reliance on small aging players, the Dallas Mavericks’ role players hitting huge shots at home and a very questionable final set of possessions which resulted in the Warriors missing a potential game winning shot.

Bullshit! Warriors don't want it bad enough! Where's Wiggins and Kuminga?! Everyone has small injuries. Tape that shit up and let's go!
Steve no idea how to handle irving play 42minutes ..why he did not start curry in 4rtquarter it also win a win situation
That what you get when you take a zoom from a bar THAT GUY WAS DRUNK klay not clutch huhhhhhhhhhh?
That Luka trade question was ridiculous
This was a rare PJ ball out game
Bro yall lost. U weren't "short handed" and there is no "apparently his foot was above the line" that's the rule. And the Mavs didn't have Luka, lively, Josh Greene. Also.. look at PJ over the last 4 games. It's not "cuz he was at home". He's finding his way w the mavs. Excuses excuses. Take the L. Yall not that good this year.
This Ryan kind of rambles off the main topic
Ryan is just a YES man for Kerr.
Lakers will host GSW for play-in match!!! This would be a nice game to watch! GSW will make damage, they will damage their identity, coz they will get eliminated!!! Lets face it, GSW plays small and highest paid coach with antiquated coaching style and still experimenting how to lose, LMAO!!!✌️😩
I think it is all over!!! OLD Generals, fight old battles, and, lose against new enemies!!!
Between #SteveKerr and #draymondBILIOUSgreene, it is ALL f***ed!!!
Hope ya’ll know come playoff time or play in time Kerr is going to go back to his old ways depending on the old guys who go live and die with that decision I guarantee GSW will not make the playoffs mark my word
I would’ve like to see Steph guarding Kyrie, none of the others were really getting it done. Seems weird but Steph knows Kyries moves and he did well last game guarding him.
Playing 3 guards in the last minutes was insanity. It's too much for Dray to handle defense. TJD has to play in those crucial minutes. By the time you bring him in it's too late. I'd rather have TJD than Pods in those moments
kuminga needs to stop with the rest games. he is 21. and yes- a sore knee is a rest game. 90% of players in the league are playing a little banged up at this point.
It was right there I wonder if klay really care you see his body language language, sometimes like he doesn’t even care.
Jk Wiggins should’ve played fr
This Ryan guy has no idea what he’s talking about
Kevin Willis
Playing weak defensive units with cp3, klay, steph and podz is beyond belief!! The warriors need to establish their best 5 defensive unit and utilize them.. Especially, needed in critical times when u need that 1 stop. Give me gp2, Moody, wiggs ,dray and tjd. Could have used garuba instead of wiggs, since wiggs was injured.. not sure why he was signed and not called up? Dude can play defense at the 3 or 4. I mentioned before poor defense have allowed teams to come back. If the defense was even a little better, this team would be at 48 wins right now, instead of 42. You need young, long, tall and high energy guys to play D. I think this is the biggest deficit for this team to improve on in the offseason.
Huge loss to a deficient maverick team and will be the difference between an 7 or 8 and 10 seed.
I agree with caption. Like why would Kerr have 4 guards on the floor – 3 older guards. That was baffling.
Guys….If Your Heel is Above the Restricted Line… IT IS STILL considered in the Restricted Area … why are we discussing this… the call was correct. Lol 😂
it was clear Steph was gassed and digging deep on offense so surrounding him with smalls was rolling the dice… hopefully we get out of the play-in, into the series where there won't be BTBs
Wiggs and JK for Giannis straight up.
