The Golden State Warriors will certainly forget Thursday night. They had no answer to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of their seven best series. Minnesota dominated from start to finish, scoring 56 points in the first half and 61 points on the second time to win the championship with a 117-93 victory.
That's not true for Golden State, as the team headed to San Francisco for Saturday's third game, which gave the series a 1-1 win.
Much of the post-game criticism was directed at Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, especially his alternative. Fans are frustrated by the rotation he uses throughout the game, filling social media with frustration.
"Kerr saw the Warriors drop 7 and said "Okay, I should stop this run"...

Kerr looked down at the Warriors down at 7 and said "Okay, how can I stop this run"…

“We cut it into 7 and let’s put it in the hockey player, Moses racer,” the fan lamented.
"So (deprived) stupid, I can't stand it. It's like he doesn't want to get home 2-0, absolutely no point. Then, he didn't even come back to them like the WTF in that Wolves," the fan screamed.
"It might be the turnaround of this series, they gave the wolf the confidence," another shouted.
"💯% If you have to pull Sum1 out of the game, I Wulda will Podz and Pat Spencer, TJD or GP Subbed Subbed. Spencer. Spencer is a purer PG that can attack and take pressure from Jimmy & Buddy.
One social media user added: "Absolutely disgusting...like we want to throw the game away."
"I don't understand why all the momentum he did this lost the Warriors' momentum," the fan said.
Jonathan Kuminga leads the Warriors with 18 points on the bench. Trayce Jackson-Davis also stood out from the bench with 15 shots added. Jimmy Butler played 34 minutes in his second game after his injury and scored 17 points.
Golden State once again has no star guard Steph Curry, who is tied up with a hamstring injury. He is expected to be at least until Game 5.
Despite his calorie, Kerr is still one of the most accomplished coaches in NBA history. He won five NBA titles and won four more as head coach at Golden State. Despite his second game decision being slammed, his playoff record offers hope for Warriors fans entering Game 3.
