The Warriors are just a better team, way better than the Knicks. We can debate what could've been done differently all we want, but the fact is, the Warriors whooped the Knicks with Curry having an off game; I don't think the Knicks could've switched up anything to get a drastically different result tonight..

Afflalo leading the team in minutes (37) with an impressive statline of 5 points 2 assists 2 boards and 2 turnovers.

Robin Lopez with some of the least minutes in the game (18) with 6 points, 5 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

I'm not saying this caused the L....I'm just questioning the rotations a little bit. I don't understand how Afflalo can play for so long while sucking (2-12 and not much else)

He played like trash, but he draws a lot of defensive attention, which opens things up for others, so he doesn't deserve to be benched. If so, bench KP, Lance, D-Will, and Grant.

Afflalo's jekyll and hyde act kills this team when he's not scoring since he really doesn't contribute in other ways.

Arron's defense has been trash all season and tonight was the worst of all. He's largely to blame. If Klay had 19 less points, the game would be close right now. If Curry can be held to 13 points then Klay can certainly be held to 15. If Gallo can play defense, so can Arron. It's not like Klay is good at shooting contested shots. Klay just got wide open all night because Arron didn't chase him around. There's no excuse.

I don't blame Arron for his offense because Klay is a forward who plays the guard position. He's 6'7'', which is bigger than Arron, and he is a great defender when he wants to be and while his defense has been trash this season, it wasn't trash last night.

Whoever was matched up with Draymond for most of the night (it wasn't KP because he was in foul trouble) is also to blame for letting him go off for 20. Yes, Draymond scored a lot on KP, but that was a mismatch because Draymond is only 6'7''.

I won't lie, I didn't see this beatdown coming and it's on Arron for his trash defense on Klay. If Klay had 19 less points, the game would be tied. If Curry can be held to 13 less points then Klay can certainly be held to 15. If Gallo can play defense, so can Arron. There's no excuse for letting someone drop 34 efficient points on your head.
