    Tate doesn't belong in the nba. Get ride if him, DFS, Tari, sengun id you can get a decent package. Fire Ime.

    Makes no sense.

    Makes no sense to even do offense/defense and if you were doing that, you had better players to play.

    Why are we using our last timeout??? This man is dumb.

    I hate KD as much as the next guy for joining the Warriors but his criticism on his burner of our team was all correct.

    Hopefully the coach, TBH. But Tari, Tate, Sheppard, and maybe Durant would be ok too.

    Definitely time to clean house and go back to the youth movement. I actually don't mind this group losing in the playoffs when they fight hard without KD, FVV, and Adams. Yes, the dumb mistakes were frustrating, but young guys tend to do that, and one of the key mistakes was Jae'Sean f***ing Tate.

    I'm just sick of Ime Udoka's bad rotations and offensive ineptitude. And Stone's assorted failures this past offseason has to get him fired, in combination with his failure to find a #1 for a championship team in a total tank-and-rebuild process.

    wtf is his obsession with Tate?!

    Sheppard ****ed up the next play but never should have been thrown under our basket.

    this whole thing is a coaching disaster
