"Exposed Warriors searching for answers after Game 4 loss"-Fran Blinebury, NBA.com

Sub-head: "Golden State looks nothing like defending-champion, 73-win team that sports the two-time MVP as it gets dismantled by OKC"

[They have been "exposed." I have a question: Why did it take so long, like two full seasons plus post-seasons?]

"I'm very surprised," said guard Klay Thompson.

"I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't."
...
Stephen Curry...looking at different times listless, careless and helpless...missed jump shots and begged the referees to help him out with calls. He got to the rim several times and couldn't finish.

[Curry looks listless all the time. That is part of his persona. He looks it, he isn't really listless. "Listless+careless+helpless," is way different, that's LeBron James when he has given up.]

"He's not injured," [Coach Steve] Kerr said. "He just had a lousy night."

[No. A lousy night is not listless, careless, and helpless.]
...
Even the Warriors' so-called "Lineup of Death" where they play small and fast and lethal has been turned on its head with OKC coach Billy Donovan...

[If the NBA gave out the Coach of the Year award after the playoffs Terry Stotts Billy Donovan would be COTY.]
