Obviously, the 3 point shooting wasn't what you want to see, but GS was so good at cutting off drives to the hoop, that they forced us outside.
I'd say our offense couldn't adjust to what they were doing defensively and we were out of ideas by early in this series. Tatum couldn't carry the load
because GS was waiting on exactly that and well prepared to harass him. They got in his head at times and he was unusually hesitant and it showed in his
shot selection. They couldn't stop him completely, but there were key moments when he just had nowhere to go with the ball.
For some reason, every time Jaylen Brown tried to take it to the hole, he'd lose his footing and then the ball. For such a superb athlete, the guy sure
did fall down an awful lot and it was driving me nuts. Maybe he should have changed shoes.
It reminded me of teams trying to beat the Pats when we were dominating. They were just more prepared and took away what we like to do best. In the
end, we had no answers for their team defense. On the other end, we had to put so much attention on Curry that Wiggins and co. had space to operate in
and killed us.
Great season and it was fun to watch hoops again for a while. No first-round pick, so we'll see what the offseason brings, but there shouldn't be any
shame in losing to the Warriors. We beat a lot of good teams, but they were simply better than us.
