bro i am not saying you are making excuses, you always make it 100, but i hear the announcers always trying to make them.

Al c'mon man no excuses. lets look at it as it is, NO team can be this bad... there is a story behind this losing. WCS was a dog in sacramento, here in the Bay, he ain't even a puppy. something is going on behind the scenes.

I believe the biggest factor with the poor defense against the 3 is that players have adjusted and shooting it much better.

Praying to Jesus that someone from the Warriors sees this video. It's sickening how a team that used to pride itself in defense just leaves so many shooters open for 3.

That’s a great point. As always your strength is your weakness and well... with Dray! But ultimately the staff has to get them to adjust.

Paradox

We constantly complained about overhelping starting from last season especially. Even with the talent, our defense rating wasn't amazing. Perhaps it's not the coaching, it may just be the Draymond philosophy rubbing off on everyone. Teams are driving with no intention to score, guys are playing like mini LeBron expecting to suck 2 defenders and grant an open 3. Perhaps that starts with a lack of size down low, because when you look at Laker games teams really don't want to risk driving against Dwight, LeBron, and AD so defense rating is through the roof. It's ironic because bigs are supposed to be less impactful in a 3 pt era where they get exploited on the perimeter but we're seeing guys like Gobert anchor defenses. That's why we need another big guy like Wiseman and Giannis on the roster.
