rip ig man

abbott elementary star andre iguodala??

i suppose it doesn't really matter and don't want to rubberneck but is there any intel on what is going on with wiggins? announcers and such talking about how whatever the dubs' issues are now, their starting lineup is still the best in the league so no one wants to see them in the offs is starting to feel increasingly hypothetical... :(

Judging by all the "we don't know if he'll be back this season" and "life is bigger than basketball" talk I can only assume a close family member has a terrible illness. Hope things work out well for him and his folks.

ya that sounds right.

"I’ve never said one word to Draymond, and he’s never gone over the limit. He always comes right up to the edge and then he stops."

Starting to feel like this team isn't going far this year.

Stuck on the runway for sure. Games feel so disjointed. Wiggins thing is very weird to me. Gp2 will help.

but it looks to me like the vets don’t like playing w Poole.

Poole did best when Steph was out for several games with his recent injury. Then he regressed once Steph returned. Got to be frustrating for the team.

he has the soul of a bench scorer but enough talent that you feel like he could be more but hes gotta start figuring it out

All his focus should be on defense

kuminga is looking GOOD.

He’ll help but they prob won’t win multiple playoff series w out wiggs

yea they need wigdawg

is there any actual info about what's going on with him?

nope. after the poole punch leak they must have locked it down internally. pretty crazy its been over a month and not a peep other than from his wife shooting down infidelity rumors on twitter.

A+ Poole game much needed

mavs are done maybe

Gary Payton II is probable for tomorrow's game after practicing today. He'll warmup with the intention of playing against the Timberwolves

hell yeah! excited to see that spark plug back on the court

think they prob need to go 5-1 to avoid the play in

Before that last game i let myself hope that they'd turned a corner and might actually put it all together in time but looks like this is just what the team is this year. Hopefully they at least get home court for the play-in.

they sold that game so hard

some news:

I’ve been told that Andrew Wiggins is back in the Bay Area. He had spent most of the recent weeks out of town.

Breaking: Andrew Wiggins is nearing a return to the team and is expected to be back early this week, sources tell @wojespn.

Golden State's Andrew Wiggins plans to attend Warriors-Thunder on Tuesday. The reason for Wiggins' leave of absence since mid-February is that his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a serious medical situation, sources close to the situation say. 🙏🏽

rough

Damn, glad it at least wasn't one of his kids but that's still hard. Hope his return means his pops is on the mend and it isn't just playoff pressure.

excited to see all the iterations of this rotation in action, finding minutes for donte and gp2 might prove to be hard, they look excellent on the floor together but hard to play them together without playing a 4 guard lineup... which kerr has been doing a ton w wiggs out. hopefully kuminga doesnt get squeezed out too much, too.

haaa

i think poole might be the worst defensive player in the league, down there w trae

just decided to stand there

he puts so much pressure on the rest of the team. ive seen a few good defensive games from him this season so i think he has it in him i just dont think his focus can be counted on. and you have to play him with 4 other good defenders

in the 'offs the other team would work as many picks as they need to isolate him on defense

chase crowd sucks.

This is really interesting to me. I thought the crowd was dead starting at Thrive City and the entire game and I think Steph felt the same way. pic.twitter.com/bGDT2EgFOh

this is what u get for abandoning oakland

get outta here with "thrive city"

i am really tired of warriors gentrification handwringing + guilt tbh!

oakland crowd was cool! sf crowd is bad! we all get it!

cmon man we can’t give the yuppies a pass it’s one of the classic safe targets

i'm not giving them a pass! it's just that the facts are well established and there's not a lot left to say!

i think the talk has been pretty muted but it was just way more obvious in comparison w the sac crowd. and i think its interesting that curry looked that bugged about it.
