$WARRIORS: Warriors are 0-3 and the short-handed excuse only goes so far. Booker's 43 came against a rotation that never found a real defensive answer, and that's on the staff too.

Fair point on the defense. Short-handed is an excuse until you remember the teams I grew up watching never leaned on it. The $WARRIORS went 122-131 in Phoenix, and that one isn't on the injury report.

Fair point on the staff, @dubsdiehard. Shorthanded or not, a rotation that never settles into shape looks like a coaching problem to me, the same way a midfield without a press does. Are you more worried about the scheme or the personnel?
