Not much new here: the Warriors got destroyed inside (check out the points in the paint comparison), shot well early but eventually cooled off from outside, and played no defense in the second half. Credit to them for hanging tough in the first half, but this was about as good an illustration of why the Warriors aren’t a playoff team as there is.
Whereas Denver is playing together as more than the sum of their parts, the Warriors eventually broke down into an ineffective one-on-one team as they have all too often this season. Number one on my list for why the Warriors should dump Smart this offseason is that his offensive schemes just make no sense. When you see teams like Denver or San Antonio play the Warriors, they just eat them alive with smart ball movement and high-percentage plays. And the end result is often what we saw on Monday, with nine nuggets scoring in double figures.
One can only hope that things will change next season. In the meantime, we have one more chance to watch this flawed group try to get to 36 wins on the season.
