Warriors Game 5 Rehash

So a little Game 5 Warriors vs Clippers rehash.

First, you spelled Warriors this way, not Worriors...

Ok, onto the game. I am going to pull up the most popular re-racked post I have ever posted. And it bogs down to simple basics of the game of basketball.

• Make your lay-ups. If you watched the game, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan were monsters around the hoop. Anything close, they were able to convert, and a few of them were And 1s. David Lee did play well for the Warriors in spurts, but there were a few times he couldn't make his lay-ups. One time he got barely touched by Chris Paul, and he couldn't finish the And 1, and yet he hit just one of two free throws.

• Make your free-throws. Clippers were a little over 75% while the Warriors were a little above 69%. Not the biggest difference but it was key in the game. When the Warriors wanted to do "Hack-a-Jordan," Jordan went to the line and hit 3-out-of-4. So the strategy stopped. I believe Jermaine O'Neal and Maurice Speights both decided to go 0-for-2 from the line in the first half.

• Don't turn the ball over. Only 13 for the Warriors and 12 for the Clippers, but the Warriors turnovers came in bunches and at crucial times. Curry had four of them in the 1st quarter, and the Warriors trailed by 10 points after one. They played catch-up the rest of the way. And then in the 4th quarter, on multiple possessions, Curry was just careless.

So at the end of the day, the Clippers best players played better than the Warriors best players. Paul and Griffin hit enough big shots in the 4th quarter, Curry did not. And also Curry couldn't even get off a shot sometimes.

He needs to be more aggressive and the Warriors need to find ways to get him more shots.

I think the Warriors can win Game 6, in fact, I would pick them to win Game 6. As long as they follow those three keys.
