golden state warriors thread

the jazz *do* have a player in mitchell who can score against loaded up playoff defenses making crazy contested shots and can get to the rim/foul line. that's not nothing... he shot 43% on 11.5 threes per game last playoffs. the issue to me is that he's still not better at that than steph or booker, so even at the high end they get trumped by the dubs and suns, and those other teams are better constructed and more malleable than the jazz. they're in a tier below the suns and dubs for me who are prob in a tier below the east teams

bless

I didn't find out til today that he actually uses his boat to get to and from Chase Center.

Clearing my schedule. Also, got more dubs tix for 1/20 (a friend's school had a block for a fundraiser)! Looking forward to some balling.

The most underrated klay moment by far

Welcome back Klay. He didn’t look too rusty. In fact looked pretty damn good. Dunks, 3s, defense…

Yah looked pretty sharp. Didn’t look to pass once lol

"they pay me to shoot"

Apparently Kerr drew up that first play for Klay to kick it out but he took the shot anyway.

of course haha

dubs going through a tough stretch and got the bucks n bulls up next. need dray back asap and/or curry to snap out of it.

klay looks pretty good all thing considered. Iggy looks considerably more cooked since coming back from injury. GP2 should probably be playing 30 minutes per game honestly.

but perspective if you woulda said to me last year that 40 games into the season they'd be 30-10 with klay just coming back i'd take that any day.

idk feel like it could be a good time to ease back work klay in get guys rest, and maybe if they lose some games management will make a trade

in fact i think kerr and the team should engage in a conspiracy of losing for this purpose

thye should def take it easy. they proved theyre still a contender and now just need to get right for the playoffs and get dray/klay/curry used to playing together again

yeah theyve had their foot on the gas all season

they should still try to get one of indys guys for wiseman tho

wiseman has to show something first he has pretty much zero value rn. and if he does show something then joey lightyears isnt trading him no way in hell

i would trade for wiseman

big rob? sounds good

lol rob would be nice for the warriors

Yes

Think Steph might need a meditation retreat. Vow of silence for a week type thing.

they were saying this is his 11th worst slump/stretch. probably just feels worse than it is.

steph for MPJ who says no

MPJ and crypto stuff

Haha throw some doge coin in

dray out at least a couple weeks with a back/calf thing. dubs need to dump chioza and find a big on a two way asap

he does things this team has never had

Jonathan Kuminga last 5 games (24.6 mpg):

16.8 pts
48% fg
33% 3pt
6.6 rebs
1.2 ast
.6 stl
.8 blk
1.4 to

put him on my fantasy team two days ago, don't fail me now

I know it was lolpistons but it was thrilling seeing him and Steph working on their two-man game last night.

Having Iggy and JTA on the court and Kuminga on the bench at the end of the 4th and OT is malpractice. Kerr was outcoached by Carlisle all night.

Yeah that was pretty pathetic by the dubs to lose to a bunch of nobodies. Dray is clearly the key to everything.

this was yesterday and now klay didnt practice today

“Nothing too concerning” is usually cause for concern https://t.co/ShP2MWLB3d

— Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) January 24, 2022

it's a good time for it tbh

yeah mid season is good for this as long as all the issues arent serious. but even if one of them is then the margin for error becomes non-existent. wiseman is likely not good this year anyway but they seriously just need another big body to throw in there right now. they are asking so much of looney.

thats a lot of injuries, not great

looney breaking down before the playoffs does feel like a likelihood, they still need a big guy

So tomorrow I'm gonna miss Klay and Dray? Back to Curry and the Gang I guess.

It’s fun if curry is his normal self but ugly when not. A lot of folks claim it’s the new rotation, might be worth going back the old one that’s worked for so long, just for a bit at least to see.

maybe not too concerning

Klay Thompson will play and start tonight against the Mavs.
