Jimmer Shines in Preseason Loss to Warriors

By | 0 Comments | Feb 18, 2019

The team was also rather terrible defensively, especially in the first half. Golden State was able to get wherever they wanted on the floor, and they were racking up the points in the paint, which is where they did most of their damage. We have some good individual defenders, but our team defense stinks, and you see guys get lost or mixed up on switches often, and the Warriors took advantage of those openings. It sure didn't help we were missing our two best defenders in Hayes and Salmons.

Our guards were a bright spot. Tyreke looks more like his old self again, getting to the rim and line at will, and he also did a decent job distributing the ball tonight, finishing with 7 assists. Unfortunately, he did also have 5 turnovers, and his jumper still looks like it needs more improvement. There were also some issues with clock management and decision making on fastbreaks, particularly in getting called for charging fouls.

Overall it was pretty much what you expected from a pre-season game, and I'm surprised it wasn't even more sloppy considering the mere one week of training camp. I'm looking forward to Tuesday and hopeful improvements.
