golden state warriors thread

ownerships gotta be glancing between the win loss record and the luxury tax payments and wondering if its worth it, maybe theyll try to cut payroll and hope steph demands a trade so they can start over

As @sportklub just confirmed, Dejan Milojević has died.

huge bummer. jokic’s old coach in europe. warriors have canceled their game

wow man wtf

rip, jeez

same age as yours truly

that's awful

So terrible. Way too young.

Looks like they're postponing tomorrow night's game against the Mavs, too. It turns out they were at a team dinner when he had the heart attack, so all the coaches and players were there watching helplessly. Can't imagine what that must be like.

jesus

damn, how tragic :(

seems like this shook a lot of people around the league. by all accounts he seemed like a genuinely good dude.

the warriors next game is now a week from tomorrow, so theyll have 9 days off between games. hopefully that gives everyone a little time to grieve

whoa how did they end up with a week between games in the first place?

Well they’re supposed to play mavs tomorrow and that got postponed. So it was gonna be Friday- Wednesday

oh ok next game is a week from yesterday

Yup I said that wrong

kuminga in the post is a stud

also that pass from steph at 2:18 chefs kiss

Maybe just homerism but seems like almost every game they give up some crazy shooting to randoms

Davion 3 threes tonight and Harrison Barnes 32 points and counting

Some wild shooting in this game. 40 threes so far

This gaaaaaame

They’ve lost this way like 14 times this year

eh last year they would lose blowing a 15 point lead. This time they were in it the whole time, even caught back up only to just blow it in the end.

but this was pretty much what I expected. This team is probably going to miss the play in. Damn

Jonathan Kuminga’s last five games

- 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting
- 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting
- 20 points on 9-of-18 shooting
- 25 points on 11-of-11 shooting
- 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting

Cumulative: 25.6 ppg on 65 percent shootinghttps://t.co/UxCDerdqtc

Does anyone else get the impression that Steph really doesn't like kuminga? Both on the court and in interviews it seems like he doesn't want anything to do with him.

i havent seen much either way really

how has Draymond been?

locked in

dray has looked like himself. he was having a really great year before all the shenanigans.

i thought they played well last night but they just give up too many open threes. and the gameplan is to give up open threes to non shooters but its been burning them all season. time to start closing or at least soft closing. wiggins energy is better of late but he still cant hold onto the ball for whatever reason. i still believe they have a run in them this season but its slipping away and kerr needs to settle on a rotation. its probably time to move loon to the bench and just go back to being a situational play.

that's cool i figured no news was good news when it comes to draymond, but he's the classic hard to gauge by reading a box score player

this was good

Really encouraging developments from Kuminga and Wiggins of late.

Insane year really

It's gotta be the hair

yeah pretty crazy he backstabbed the team and grumbled to the media and then immediately decided to cut his braids off and ball tf out.

Some of it coincides with Draymond coming back too, right?

It started before that but dray back has unlocked their best lineup Steph klay wiggs jk dray and they seem to have more of an identity

The Wiggins/Kuminga pairing was -106 in 171 minutes together before Jan.15. In 85 minutes with Draymond back and in the fold, they’re a +50.

Draymond’s impact isn’t just technical. He’s instilling confidence—especially for Kuminga: pic.twitter.com/ysi9uHpF5Q

i would never question the power of instilling confidence but some of those before minutes were with draymond too no

yeah for sure. i think he's honestly helped wiggins more.

this is why he has to be in in crunchtime, they need a release valve/slasher

good video i like the play where everyones pointing

CP3 has been a good influence on Podziemski. 14 assists 0 turnovers tonight.

Fun game the kids were balling

60 points in the paint? Loved watching them attack inside all night. Won't really start believing these guys have figured shit out until they hit at least .500 on the season and firmly in a play-in position. They've only won 6 of their last 16 games, including tonight.

At least they're more fun to watch with JK in the starting lineup. It's something.

Steph has made 47 field goals in "clutch" situations this year, 12 more than anyone else in the NBA.

His shooting splits in those situations are 52/49/97

He's scoring at a rate of 50 points per 36 minutes.

And yet the Warriors have lost 18 "clutch" games (2nd most in NBA)

rough

A bummer of a season. He deserves better.

They won tonight, curry hit 4 threes and the rest of the team hit… zero. 4/22 as a team
