Show Notes

Beat writers Dieter Kurtenbach and Mark Medina review how the Warriors can “bounce back” from losing a stunning 31-point lead to the Los Angeles Clippers in game two of their first round NBA playoffs series on Monday, April 15 at Oracle Arena.

- 1:00: Warriors have “made a habit of taking their foot off the accelerator”

- 2:10: Dubs lose DeMarcus Cousins to an injury, lose the game because “they just imploded”

- 04:10: Warriors unveil “masterpiece of hubris” after season of practicing apathy in games

- 06:30: Zero excuse for Kevin Durant’s gameplay,  Patrick Beverley gets “between his ears”

- 10:38: Game two will either “open cracks” in Warriors facade or empower team to channel faults into championship focus

- 12:04: it would be unfair to say an achilles heel injury is related to others, one expert says “kinetic chain” may link achilles injury to other body parts

- 13:47: Jordan Bell, Andrew Bogut, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney play time to rise after DeMarcus Cousins’ fall

- 15:08: Will Bob Myers’ decision on Andrew Bogut pay off?

- 16:21: DeMarcus Cousins is “probably not coming back”

- 18:15: Are Kevin Durant and Draymond Green still fighting behind the scenes?

- 22:00: Are the 2018-2019 Warriors facing similar playoff struggles the 2009-2010 Lakers faced?

- 23:08: Jordan Bell has “not shown it,” Houston Rockets can get this team”

- 26:45: Warriors will have to scheme to “stop Montrezl Harrel and Lou Williams”

- 30:10: Dubs may be “broken in ways we have not seen yet”

- 33:50: “Adjustments in the playoffs are overrated”

- 35:30: Warriors coaching staff “cannot coast through this one anymore”

- 36:30: “Warriors in five” still, Medina said, but bouncing back will test weaknesses the Clippers have exploited

- 39:05: Winning “cures all ills,” losing causes “big and small” issues to “boil up to the surface”
