Kevon Looney 3 rebounds and 0 blocks in 22 mins

Am I missing something Warriors fans? Why does your coach continue to play this guy over JaVale McGee?

Game 1 - 4 rebs, 0 blocks - 22 mins
Game 2 - 5 rebs, 1 block - 11 mins (blowout game)
Game 3 - 5 rebs, 2 blocks - 14 mins (blowout game)
Game 4 - 6 rebs, 1 block - 26 mins
Game 5 - 4 rebs, 0 blocks - 22 mins

On the opposite end, Capela is bullying the boards. I don't care how close the team rebounding is. Your big man who is playing 19 mins a game should do better than having less than 5 rebounds a game. I'm struggling to see what this guy does well. He just screens really good, and that's about it.

I mentioned this all the way back in game 2. What is with Kerr's refusal to play Javale?

Compare their per 36 numbers -

Looney - 10 pts, 8 rebs, 2 blocks
McGee - 18 pts, 10 rebs, 3 blocks.

Inasmuch as you can't read too much into stats, he is better than Looney in every single metric. Sure, he may have the occasional lapse in judgement, but so has every single GS player on the floor this series. He is especially useful on the defensive end where is going to block or alter shots with his length.

You don't have to give him surplus minutes. But he's a high impact player that will give you some energy off the bench and fight for those boards. Unless he's injured or something and I stand to be corrected.

By the way, this is not to absolve Kerr, Curry or Durant of any blame.

They are behind in this series because of:

- Kerr's failure to make in-game adjustments
- Durant not trusting his teammates enough, too much iso, and not being able to pass out of the trap
- Curry not being as good as previous seasons. He can't break his man down one one one like he did before. They need create more set shots for him.

Stop deflecting, this is not about looney. Its about curry and durant choking in the 4th quarter of a pivotal game.

See the post above.

All that writing and you missed the key reason......turnovers.

Durant not being able to pass out of the trap = turnovers
Curry not being able to break his man down like before = turnovers

All that reading and you missed the key reason.

Nah, in both cases throwing the ball at the rim is better than a turnover.
