I can see how their offense would struggle without Curry. But for the
life of me I can't see how their defense could be so terrible without
Curry. Just unbelievable. The Spurs, one of the worst 3 pt shooting
teams in the league, shot over 50%! Every time the Warriors closed a
little bit the Spurs easily built the lead back up. I think even the
coaching was bad. Very discouraging. And how are they going to beat this
same Spurs team Monday when Wembanyama should/may be back?

It's hard to comprehend, really. Are the Warriors really this bad?

I was watching from a DVR, and I started fast-forwarding before the end
of the first quarter.

The Warriors' three-point shot defense continues to be confounding. They
double every driver, which always leaves at least one person on the
three-point line completely open. And they've done this consistently all
season. This is on Kerr. He even acknowledges "over helping" sometimes
in his post-game press appearances, but nothing changes.

Just sad. It's hard to have any hope for this team at this point.
