The definition of insanity is commonly given as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. For the Golden State Warriors, a similar definition of insanity has manifested itself in the team’s approach to basketball over the last five quarters, spanning the end of Game 4 and much of Game 5. Steve Kerr’s vaunted motion-based offense has turned into stop-motion animation, with far too many possessions starting and ending with a toss to Kevin Durant in the high post, followed by 23.5 seconds of inaction and a rushed shot. The Dubs’ turnover woes, commonly attributed to focus issues throughout the regular season, are now an incurable epidemic, with 18 of them leading to 18 Houston points.
