Excellent write up, as always!
Look, I'm not an NBA coach, and it's been a while since I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but this is getting to be a running theme. Play a lesser team and try to use the game to rest some of the starters with "injury" scratches. Then getting an "L" for some kind of messy, uncoordinated, inefficient effort. I'm not saying KP, et.al., aren't hurt to the point they couldn't contribute. But I wonder why, when you are playing for playoff positioning and record means everything, you wouldn't play everybody you possibly could and take what should be an easy "W" and spread the minutes across a deeper rotation. Now you've put MORE pressure on the B2B at GSW.
Huge disappointment to work hard enough to climb out of the play-in mess only to lose both of these and fall back into it.
