Watching the game, at no point after halfway through the 2nd quarter did I ever feel like the Raps actually had a chance to win. The faux "get back in the game" run was fairly predictable, as were the responses by GSW to quell any thought of a Raptor uprising. Kind of like watching Usain Bolt toy with the field. Whatever the purpose of the defensive substitution we threw at them didn't really matter. The only time it felt like the Warriors were somewhat uncomfortable was the beginning of the game, IMO.

You're not tinkering with anything.....you're complaining about the usage of your favourite player. You're literally typing sad right now and i'm starting to feel sorry for you. I really wish you picked someone else to be your favourite player.....You'd be much happier right now.
When you step back from the ledge, you realize that we're 7-4 with 3 losses against 2 teams who happened to play in the NBA Finals last year. So sad.....

You're absolutely right that it's essentially a lost cause, in that Casey isn't likely to pop in here and read such posts, then have a eureka moment and suddenly change his coaching philosophy. However, that doesn't mean that frustration isn't warranted, or that suggestions from those frustrated aren't actually legitimately viable alternatives. Unless, of course, you prescribe to the notion that fans can't possibly suggest a strategy that would be comparable to what an actual NBA coach is implementing, in which case carry on.

Sorry, we're not taking the bait..... It's about JV, his actual defensive abilities and #matchups. Blame the coach, his teammates and the weather if you want. #excuses
I don't know why people keep bringing up DD who you know was the Raps best player last night. But whatever.Mamba Mentality
