Bazley had his moments. He took an ill-advised three at winning time but maybe that was by design.
We ran almost all of our crunch time offense through Baz. That was Monty playing standings chess.
Standings chess. I love it!

I don’t get it.
Are you saying Monty threw the game because he preferred the Clippers to the Warriors as an opponent?

I’m not saying it. But I’m not not saying it.

I don’t think it was the primary reason, but I’m sure keeping GS at 6 was a nice bonus. I still don’t think we would have played our starters if the Clippers had the 5 seed clinched though.

Monty was not trying to win this game. He knew.

Well I didn’t watch the game so I can’t speak to any decisions Monty made during the game. I just don’t think we would’ve played any different personnel if GS getting 5 wasn’t an option.
Though if we needed to beat LAC to avoid GS, that would’ve been interesting to see if we tried.

I didn't notice any difference from his usual coaching, though.
