Dubs season is done! – Chris Mullin on Warriors losing to Bulls with Steph Curry’s ankle injury

At this moment but it was tough to watch that video uh we’ll Replay that video for you funny to think that the Warriors had just gotten it going had just started having two straight games with nobody on the injury report so we’re waiting to learn the update from Steph

Curry and processing this finish guys man the Warriors entered the fourth quarter down 10 fought back furiously made a few mistakes down the stretch and it did not go their way fesus how are you processing this Finish Well the Warriors tonight going against a very hot Chicago Bulls team you know won two

Games in a row one of those wins was against the Sacramento Kings when they were down 22 points in that game so you know that they were going to withstand the Warriors runs and the Warriors did a great job coming back in the fourth quarter but just the Bulls Alex Caruso

You got to give him credit who’s fighting over screens really making it hard for Steph Curry to see the light and get open shots uh Klay Thompson did his best impression of of really of did his best job of trying to hold the for four down after Steph Curry got injured

Chris Paul the bench Moses Moody great plays by them down the stretch but when you put the ball on thear the rosen’s hands he is one of those guys that’s very hard to stop at the clutch moments last night tonight he just keeps showing up over and over and over he’s been in

This league for a long time one of the best clutch players in the league right now yeah nip and Tuck game all the way through the Warriors won the first quarter 3126 the Bulls dominate the second and third 7458 fourth quarter the Warriors actually were playing really

Well but the Bulls kept it close uh Steph Curry leaves the game Draymond fouls out and then dear de rozan takes over the the starters for the for the Bulls were Big Time D rozan had 32 vukovic 33 Kobe White had 20 uh so they they had an exceptional offensive game

Tonight they came in shooting like 46 from the field they were well over 50 and on the year they were 23rd in league and made threes and tonight they shoot over 40% so they had a really good offensive night the Bulls did all right the Warriors 38th clutch game again this

One just did not go their way let’s you need to see the Steph Curry tape because this is what we need to follow going forward here so this is in the fourth quarter goes if you’re trying to you know come back from an injury same thing you can’t emulate these type situations

In practice high pressure one possession game uh whether it be an offensive possession or defensive possession as fesa said they’ll learn from it and on a night when Steph was struggling offensively other players stepped up you know Draymond had a triple double so there was a lot of good individual

Performances I thought overall was a really well played game and and sometimes you just have to give the other team credit the Chicago Bulls played really well they’re playing great basketball they’re winning on the road and tonight they did just that yeah the Warriors young guys are going to get a

Lot of minutes in the postseason so go through your turbulence now that’s the whole point right of getting the minutes right now getting them used to these high pressure situations it did not go their way tonight the Bulls also had a pretty big third quarter to build a

10-point lead we’re going to show you that tape here because this was part Carter knocks it down uh and between the second and third quarter The Bulls Out scored the Warriors 7458 that’s when the the Bulls gain their momentum they did you got to think of this style of play

That the Chicago Bulls played it’s five the five man is in the middle and they play Four out so they’re spreading you out and just driving you to the rim you have guys like Kobe white you had Tory Craig have a couple drives right there D

Dumu dumu DMO another guy who can really quick off the dribble really testing the Warriors oneon-one defense tonight we talked about before the game one-on-one defense how can the Warriors guard and continue to keep that defense at a high level well the Chicago Bulls tested them tonight you had demard

De Rosen who’s one of the best one-on-one players in the NBA even in year I don’t know what what year this this is for demard Rosen last year 15 the last game against the Warriors he had one of his best games of the Season had 39 points and and you know coming

Into this game still riding that high of the two winning streak two- game winning streak still understanding that the Warriors have to keep working on their defense that’s the thing that the Warriors have to sharpen up the wins and the losses yes you need to get wins at

This point in the season too but that defensive intensity the defensive Focus that’s the thing that the Warriors have to really sharpen up here towards the end of season yeah and what you said f I’ll focus on that they have players that can play inside and out vukovich

Does play in the post but when he steps outside not only is he a good pass a good dribble handoff guy he can knock down a three-point shot he was three for six tonight from three-point land so the the diversity uh that the Bulls showed tonight that’s what they’ve been doing I

Think this their third winning in a row on the road uh so they’re playing good basketball we talked to uh was it Adam am before that their play-by-play guy he was saying this team is really playing good basketball he don’t knows he doesn’t know if they’ll move up from the

Ninth spot but they feel pretty comfortable with the way they’re playing right now yeah beat the Kings beat the jazz beat the Warriors tonight so yeah a battle of the nine seeds this was this was an excellent game there you go one of the players who was trying to spark the comeback Moses

Moody Off the Bench giving the Warriors some great def defense some hostile play making great plays Mo Moses he’s one of those guys that will make something out of nothing here in a sea of four look at surrounded by four Bulls Kobe white and and this is these are momentum shifters

In the game he continues to prove to Steve KR that he deserves to be in the game in crucial moments yeah a player Steve Kirk can trust um both offensively and defensively I was telling fesus just a little bit ago I think the biggest adjustment Moses money has made is his

Understanding of individuals he’s playing against uh you know he had um dear D rozan not closing out to him you’re not worried about his three-point shot as much dear’s going to come to you take the physicality contest a two-point shot like he did poris with in the

Pregame he saw that uh the clip of him guarding Bobby poris in the post he’s become a lot more alert and aware of the person he’s guarding in turn you see him playing much better individual defense so just kyp just being OB yeah but you

Know what K it is kyp and and you can read the scy report and you can watch the film but I think it’s more going through the the playing against these guys one two three times uh now in his third season he has a feel exactly what

He needs to do to each player he plays against yeah it’s it’s really interesting how I feel it’s it’s a little ironic it’s so it’s a weird metaphor where Steph is out of the game draymond’s out of the game and these young guys get to be in the crucial

Moments where one one possession can change the whole game whether it’s a foul whether it’s a turnover whether it’s a made bucket right here you can look at this game and say there was one thing that could have changed the swing of this game but I think this is great

Great experience for the young guys my finger right here I needed to mention that Moses Moody played about 23 minutes and he had some dmps earlier this season I mean he really had to earn those minutes he did on the road trip now we see him getting rewarded and making a

Big impact let’s hear from Steve cerry right now and I know the Steph Curry question will be one of the top ones in this uh BMW press conference on step’s ankle I don’t know yet yeah he’s uh he’s got his foot in a bucket of ice right

Now um I haven’t talked to the training staff yet um what what part of I guess the last couple minutes is kind of most regretful for you uh you know give them credit I mean uh Demar made you know the uh the end one I thought that was the

Key shot in the uh in the you know closing few minutes um and um so you know got got uh we got to tighten up defensively and execute better um but um you know he made the shot and um give him credit our guys executed um you know offensively pretty

Well down the stretch made some big shots um the key to the game for me was um you know kind of late third they went on that run they made a ton of threes and uh for the game they made 16 threes to hour 11 and uh these days in the NBA

It’s tough to tough to win when you make five fewer uh threes than your opponent you called the the roen shot kind of like the key shot of the game it was on a pump fake in n one which obviously he’s known for how difficult is it for a

Guy like kega even knowing you know that the pump fake might be coming yeah I mean dear is one of the great closers in the game he has been for 10 years so um you know it’s great experience for uh for all of our young guys JK and BP were

In the in the pick and roll exchange so it’s good for them to feel this um um Moses too to you know to feel these big situations um and like I said I I’ve got no problem with our effort um execution um we just got outplayed Chicago was

Great they’ve been playing well um you know watching them on tape coming in to this game um I was you know I was pretty worried just because I you could see the force that they were playing with and the confidence and uh they came in and and earned it Steve your defense has

Been a big part of this surge you guys have had these last few weeks but second and third quarters they shot 60% um scored 7 four points did you see what could you tell what what went around what what fell short there uh energy um it just didn’t feel like we were

Pressuring the ball um rotating quickly you know it just felt um like we never impacted them and they they kind of got into their stuff we had occasional good possessions but uh never felt like we had a stretch in the game uh where we kind of locked him down for a few

Minutes where we could make a run so you know they scored 125 shot 53% 16 threes um you know they deserve to win fore foree foreign fore speee foree for speech speech foreign speech foree down for spee spee for spech Fore speech fore fore spee foreign foreign fore speech spee for spee speee
