haha

I wonder what the average IQ is of the Golden Warrior fans--dozens of them--who follow me on Twitter thinking I'm the GM named Bob Myers, after checking my profile which says I'm a computer programmer. Then they dive right in tweeting about trades they think I should make.

warriors seem to be developing kuminga the right way

Jonathan Kuminga, per 100 possessions relative to the 6 players drafted ahead of him:

Kuminga: 26.8 pts, 59.1% TS
Cunningham: 24.0 pts, 48.9% TS
Green: 22.6 pts, 51.5%
Mobley: 21.8 pts, 54.7% TS
Barnes: 20.3 pts, 53.6% TS
Suggs: 21.7 pts, 46.2% TS
Giddey: 19.4 pts, 47.8% TS

You all loved Kuminga with 18 points in less than 5 dribbles.

Klay famously scored 60 on 11 dribbles. Legendary.

Well Warriors twitter, how about James Wiseman with 25 points on ZERO dribbles. pic.twitter.com/2qRiSg2pgv

forgot about that game... how about the rest of the season tho lol

Probably not a lot of dribbles there either hehe

Klay Thompson shot 45.6% from three in February, averaging 19.3 PPG. That's one hell of a month for a player coming off of two major injuries.

tomorrows game vs the lakers feels like a must win lol

the only thing the dubs really must do is get dray back

and klay more playing time, and weirdly... iggy? They need wiseman too tbf they are just very short on most nights and getting killed inside. even if its just ten minutes.

but yes draymond is to the defense what steph is to the offense

Draymond runs the offense too, clearly.

I worry about my man. I have the same issue (disc causing tightness in my lower legs) and it SUCKS. So far I'm two surgeries in and it's worse than ever.

damn sorry to hear that, and yeah back issues are not the best

dang DJI thats not good!

may your pt bring you clarity

Thanks! I just wish I had Celebrini to work on it.

dray, wiseman, iggy all back next week.

I don't see how Wiseman helps out this year other than being a big body to lessen the load on Dray and Loon in meaningless games. I'd be shocked if he got any playoff minutes that weren't a result of roster attrition.

yeah pretty tough for anyone to miss most of the year and step in and play well let alone a young guy

Let alone a young big man who's only played like 40 combined college and NBA games. Seems like most dubs fans forget that aside from some athletic flashes he was mostly bad last season. It's gonna take him some time to learn how to play NBA defense.

yeah even if he was healthy this year no guarantee hed be a playoff contributor

yeah im more excited just to have him back, dont see him doing much at all but hopefully can catch some lobs and be a big body out there. he needs reps!

That he does.
The Steph/Klay/Poole/Moody/Kuminga lineup near the end of the game last night was interesting to see. Almost felt like Myers/Lacob told Kerr to try it out some time in garbage time.

kerr said he likes having steph klay poole out there together. the offense looks killer with those three. depending on what you need you can add any combination of dray / wiggs / otto / gp2 / moody / kuminga as the other two. once everyones healthy theres going to be some flexibility in those lineups, should be a lot of fun.

poole had some finishes last night that were so sweet

hes really creative

pumped 4 steph/klay/dray back together tonight for the first time in nearly 3 years. these guys gotta get at least one more together.

also steph is 34 today :(

Oof. Tonight is going to be great, tho!

sick

Warriors have plenty of fun players for watching but Poole has climbed the ranks this season

RT if you can see Jordan Pooles potential pic.twitter.com/5n7TkDCYYH

Wiseman thing is not good

Jfc the dubs just can’t shoot anymore. Magic just letting them hoist.

its ugly. weird season since the hot start. wiggins gave it 1/2 a good season.

i think klay just needs to keep shooting until he gets his timing locked in and consistent. gonna be tough that the preferred playoff rotation hasnt been available for even one game this season. hard to predict what this team looks like once the playoffs start. im losing confidence tho

I saw Poole limp off, which is the last thing they need.

yeah too many injuries a lot of things need to line up, not impossible tho

Didn’t see the game but only scoring 90 vs Orlando not great. Think Wiggins hit his life goal before the All-Star break and now is just shrug

One of the worst losses of the season. They can’t just win a game with one good quarter like the good ol days.

Steve Kerr: "...we have to learn how to win, and right now we don't know how to win."

guess they dont care where they end up in the seeding huh

The Warriors are resting Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr. tonight in Miami. Second night of a back-to-back.

— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) March 23, 2022

looks like the heat might be resting butler & herro too

everyone jockeying for playoff positioning got to love it baby

it's sort of weird given how important seedings can be in the playoffs how many teams are willingly resting players right now. the sixers sat embiid the other night and have been resting harden, the bucks sat giannis the other night and middleton last night. i guess in the east those teams might be trying to dodge the 2 seed but i feel like these teams get too testosteroney confident and don't want to admit that trying to set yourself up for a weaker path is smarter

it reminds me of last season when the heat were like "yeah we're not scared of the bucks bring it on" and then got nuked off the face of the earth when if they had won literally one more game in the regular season they would've had the knicks in round 1

yeah i would be trying to get the 1 seed personally

yeah the warriors avoiding the suns until the wcf should be top priority but maybe they are more worried about the grizz idk. at this point they just need to be getting reps in with klay on the team so it just seems dumb. or at least stagger those guys... or play them against the BETTER team and let the role players try to beat the magic. idk.

ESPN Sources: Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has been ruled out for the rest of the season and will continue rehabilitating his right knee. Wiseman has been recovering from a meniscus repair last April, and the team has been cautious to protect him for the long-term.

dubs not getting a back up big was a very poor choice

very hubris

wasted roster spot with chiozza makes no sense that they didnt upgrade to a big
