golden state warriors thread

i get that if you suck at the dunk contest it will be bad for your brand, just too much at stake, but also that sucks

its also just played out humans can only jump so high thats why you saw guys start using props which is lame

yeah my last real memories of the dunk contest are all the mid-late 00s dwight cape and blake over the kia type garbage, total shenanigans not even dunking really

fact: the 2016 lavine v ag was the goat dunk contest

i agree that one was great but i don't really remember it bc dunking was already killed dead it's very sad all around

you mean that one had a goat (the animal) in it, i can believe it

ja should dunk over his giraffe

probably the only thing that would get me to watch the dunk contest

Warriors tied NBA record with lowest jersey total in NBA history with 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3 @unstoppablebaby @warriors @kendra__andrews @ESPNStatsInfo @anthonyVslater pic.twitter.com/N8RaFuvMMe

ok that's actually pretty impressive

Chiozza with team high +17. Must be voodoo.

That jersey number stat is lol. Hard to believe another team had number that low. How many teams have a 0 and 00 ?

the minnes0ta timberw00lves

how the hell'd'we win that one

(yes i know poole traveled)

that was such a fun game to watch. everyone was hitting shots.

that sequence after the go ahead shot by dejounte (1 min in) was so hectic

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
