golden state warriors thread

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.

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

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

klay and dray for bron and russ done deal according to sources

Shut up Halloween was months ago.

warriors really caught lightning in a bottle with their rotation-level roster moves last season.

Otto Porter Jr. is done for the season.

Looking like a roster that hasn’t played together in a while

we need some clarity on the dray situation both sides are talking like hes gone after this season management hasnt extended him hes been openly angling for a deal with the lakers but is any of it real is this just negotiation what the story

no idea how this plays out but im leaning he stays with the warriors. but a lot comes down to how this season plays out? hes made himself indispensable, the defense is hanging by a thread every night and he is that thread. also finding his offense more this season. i think hes playing games but could also see him bouncing as well. i think if he leaves cos the dubs lowball him then that would be the beginning of the end, curry would not be good with that.

i think we'll learn a lot about the direction of this franchise over the next few weeks up to the trade deadline. if they stay put i think this is the last ride. if they make a move and trade one or two of the young guys and picks then theyre locked in for 3-4 more years imo.

there would need to be a big contract for him somewhere else and does that even exist thinking probably not

I'm thinking dray is gone before the next season starts. he has his 4 rings and now he's hungry for that other kind of nba player prestige: the biggest contract he can command.

hes taken less than he could have gotten on every deal so far. im not sure money is the ultimate motivator for him, he's more of i demand respect type of guy i think.

i thought dray wanted to play with lebron and where is lebron exactly?

dray always hated bron until this contract situation came up

He signed w klutch and that was that.

I’m not so sure he wants to go to LA… his best position is lebrons position and Brows position and they need shooting.

Rumors he’s been recruiting bron to GSW tho…

he's more of i demand respect type of guy i think

I agree, but he's maxxed out on the respect that comes with NBA rings, olympic gold medals, all-star game appearances, and the all-nba defensive team. now he feels the the dubs front office disrespected him by not giving him a big guaranteed contract extension. I'm thinking the FO that gives him that big FA contract can lure him away, not so bcz of the money, but bcz of the respect it implies.

they havent disrespected him! he's up for free agency after this year if he opts out.

have they gone on his podcast tho

he's more of i demand respect type of guy i think

i agree & i think he takes the best offer. it's entirely possible the warriors end up valuing him more than any other team

they can offer him more too, as long as they dont mind paying another $100m or whatever in lux tax
