golden state warriors thread

gp2 and prob otto too

idk who was taking wiseman for any kind of value, he’s often unavailable and doesn’t know how to play

Klay is the slumpiest great shooter of all time but a lot of wear on the tread now

gp2

lol my bad off by 1

Poole 0 shots made wtf

against top 10 offenses, warriors are third best in quality of shots allowed and *25th* in actual eFG allowed. insane shooting they're facing pic.twitter.com/K8SEkmoZL8

Per @statmuse, Steph Curry's currently having the most efficient 30+ PPG season in NBA history on a per-possession basis.

Essentially, a Steph shot is worth more than anyone's ever! pic.twitter.com/mGN45hRjVb

rest of the dubs are getting blinded by the steph light

that top three in shot location quality is just not that correlated with actual shot defense, its nice to force teams to take the bad shots but you have to get good contests too, if guys are just stepping into good 17 footers or whatever its not that great

no but it kinda matches the eye test. the defense is pretty bad right now but stuff like payne and bridges hitting 11/18 from three has been happening. theyre also getting killed on the glass and no one seems particularly locked in.

celtics d has picked up but at the very beginning of the season they were sucking while using shot location defense to uh defend themselves but watching them they just werent playing with intensity, the scheme was good but there just wasnt enough dog in the execution, think they were last in steals too, just not gonna get the job done

Klay's best game since the injuries! 41 pts, 10-13 from three including a couple clutch shots.

Was great last game as well. The team meeting seems to have got everyone on a similar page.

Also lmao this guy

The vibes are back

The refs called a tech on Draymond for celebrating on the bench.

So the next play, Steph got a tech of his own in solidarity by intentionally overdoing a celebration 😂

lol

new rule against xtreme bench celebrations is so bad they shouldve just drawn a dashed line between the bench and the sideline and been like dont cross this and it would solved the only problem which was guys standing too close to the court, bench celebrations are fun everyone likes them

It’s a dumb rule I don’t expect to stick around. Like sorry if you have 5-10k to sit right behind the players then that’s what you signed up for deal w it

warriors bench is figuring it out. kuminga has looked solid last few games and he should start to get more and more rope as the season goes on. if they can stick him on the likes of luka and he holds up then youve got something.

Jonathan Kuminga just completed one of the better halves of his young career. Bothered Luka Doncic in isolation, rebounded well, came weak side for a block, worked the baseline for cutting dunks. He was a +19 in 14 minutes. Here are a few highlights. pic.twitter.com/rKHGg28oxX

Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins will all miss tomorrow’s Warriors’ game in Utah. Curry left ankle soreness, Green left hip tightness, Wiggins right adductor strain. James Wiseman is with team and available.

bizarre

Warriors this season:

11-2 at home
2-11 on the road pic.twitter.com/90Ftia4ukm

— StatMuse (@statmuse) December 8, 2022

That was the dumbest loss of the year and there's been some dumb losses.

indefensible

poole got hacked but whatever. they did so many dumb things at the end.

kuminga should be playing 25 minutes per night

ok kinda defensible since he got hacked then tackled by kelly o lol

bay area billionaires not a fan of those recent draft picks

ESPN Sources: Golden State Warriors President of Basketball Operations Bob Myers – architect of four NBA championships in the past eight years – is entering into the final months of his contract and remains without a new deal: https://t.co/a5QUCVbCRc

Big stuff from Poole and Kuminga in the 4th, love to see it. Both ends for Kuminga

GSW has figured out that, if you're totally focused on winning the ring, it doesn't really matter where you're seeded because you're going to have to win every series anyway. And if you're eliminated, then someone else gets the ring and that's all you cared about, so why sweat the regular season?

Well there’s not sweating the reg season and then there’s real issues like not enough vet depth. Kuminga might be ready to help tho. Just need to trade Rollins or Baldwin or both

Here were the five big Jonathan Kuminga plays in crunch time tonight vs Hornets

*Rips away a steal from PJ Washington
*Traffic rebound over Plumlee
*Gets available for dunk
*Floater in iso vs Hayward
*Cuts open for another dunk pic.twitter.com/kEvGuzLhqg

Hell yah lol

Klay Thompson said him and Jordan Poole have a nickname:

"We call each other 311 like the band."

What a game!! So many wild twists and turns. Klay with 54 and Loon with 20 boards and the buzzer beating game winner.

i was supposed to get to bed early for back to work after holidays. warriors weren’t having it. what a game

Literally 7 playable dudes haha amazing win

That game was a classic

didn't watch the game bc fuck staying up til 1am for this hawks team, but did i really see Nate pulled Okongwu on the last play where they gave up multiple offensive rebounds?

that worked out for both teams, they brought loon in for defense and okongwu out for offense but neither team had timeouts left so normally looney wouldnt have been in the last possession to get that tip in ftw

an insane game really

he also left trae out on defense on white donte’s game tying three and trae just stood around watching the play kinda waiting to see how everything played out, bringing a touch of curiosity to the court

DONTE TIES THE GAME 😱 pic.twitter.com/Ok8r22GcjR

lol good description of trae's D

lol poole cmon man

poole made probably close to 15 boneheaded decisions last night. one of the worst games ive seen him play and yet he hit one of the biggest shots of the game and had some beautiful drives. but he really needs to learn to calm down in clutch situations.

"bringing a touch of curiosity to the court"

lmao

Klay pulled right before the game w knee soreness… sounds ominous, hopefully nothing

trading him for lebron
