with Stephen Curry on the side, Art Warriors rely on a beginner Yaksel Landeborg to fill a piece of the offensive void. That didn’t happen Friday, as he made just one of 13 shots from the field against the Spurs. According to Landeborg, he didn’t mince words after the 38-point loss ESPN’s Anthony Slater.
“I was confused the whole game” said Landeborg. “Couldn’t make the damn stand.”
Spurs is a big man Victor Wembanyama played a big part in the downfall of the Warriors.
“No one wanted to go into the paint”, said Landeborg. “Nobody wanted him to block their shot. So we were all just doing some weak floats. I don’t know how many of us work on them. Especially me. I shot like seven of them. I never work on floats since (junior college).”
Lendeborg says it’s not easy for him to forget the loss. The Warriors don’t play again until Monday.
“I’m not going to move past it,” said Landeborg. “I don’t know about us. Everyone said, throw it out the window. I can’t throw anything out the window.”
