golden state warriors thread

do they really have anything except for ant

if theyre going to be good soon then its more likely theyll do it with their current team, if you trade kat youre probably taking a step back talent wise unless you can get an allstar for him, gobert is a zero on offense and vulnerable to five out on d, idk, mid to long term they could be good if they commit to building around ant but if they want to be good in the short term theyre prob going to have to figure out how to work with this weird collection of guys, which i mean its not an impossible vision to see kat bombing threes while ant does super star stuff and gobert blocks shots i guess but it hasnt really worked so far

Of course everyone is forgetting the Kings too. Pacific division is lit

kings definitely seem like a good regression candidate, they fared really well in the clutch last year and their talent level gives them a ceiling the other contenders don’t have, imo

also injury luck was really good, then again most of their guys are pretty young

i think theyll be close to the same. fox might have one more level to get too but a murray leap will really determine their ceiling

west finishing order basically impossible to pick if last year is any indication of how competitive it will be

yeah i've been listening to a bunch of over/under pods and there are like 9 west teams hovering around 44 wins

hah i was gonna say i listened to an over/under pod the other day and they had nearly every west team as overs and then they were like wait that doesn't work hm

the whole pacific division could/should be in the top 6

As expected, Iggy has officially retired. Hope he doesn't lose his shirt in startup investment. Announcers and journalists are always talking up his business savvy but he got really into NFTs so I have my doubts.

pretty much every celebrity who got into nfts was gifted them for promotional reasons, if he was really buying them yeah lol thats dumb

Unfortunately,

Andre Iguodala, of the Miami Heat, was in the NBA bubble last year when he met with Roham Gharegozlou, the 34-year-old CEO of Dapper Labs. Iguodala had a general understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrencies at the time, but NFTs were new to him. Gharegozlou brought him up to speed. “From there, it was like, the rest is history,” says Iguodala. He loved the idea of bringing the NBA to his cap table and made his first investment last August. “The site is crazy great so far. I’m looking forward to sustainability, you know, keeping this thing going for the long haul and having some fun at the same time.”

He chose to reinvest in this round based on Top Shot’s growth since then. “This was something that’s just been having some great reception, a lot of interest,” Iguodala tells me. He has his own account, where he’s been buying packs. “I bought my own Moment just because I felt like I had to have my own freaking Moment,” he says. It’s a dunk from August 4th, 2020, number 490 of 1,000. “So I’d probably call that out my favorite moment.”

he could be lying tho, lot of that in crypto

absolutely no celebrities were disclosing that they were getting them for free, which is a crime btw

Yeah, but he was looking forward to sustainability, you know, keeping this thing going for the long haul and having some fun at the same time

all normal things we all love

Christina mentioned, offhandedly, to Shanahan that the house would require a fair amount of custom-made furniture. “She told me, ‘My husband is very tall,’” Shanahan recalls, “and after pausing for a moment, she added, ‘And all of his friends are very tall.’”

nice

iggy had a cool career

iggy strip down was lethal

he wouldve been a good #2 option on a contender in his prime when he was wasting away in philadelphia, very good all around game

i like the pics of his house in that AD piece a lot, obviously designed but pretty understated as well

I have some nuggets related resentment but I’d lol if iggy lost his shirt in crypto

I just don't really buy that he would overextend himself. Lose a few mil, sure.

lol

more liek jordan foole

CP3 looking sharp out there. Makes the game easy for the 2nd unit even with 2 rooks playing

Everything is working right now. Moody looks like he’s ready. Cp tho… the contrast w Poole… I didn’t expect it to look this good

Trayce Jackson-Davis tonight:

13 PTS | 10 REBS | 4 BLKS

The ONLY players in NBA History to record this in their 1st or 2nd NBA game:

Shaq, DRob, Bill Walton, Mutombo, Sampson, Mychal T, KAT, and Chet.

All of these players played >30 mins.

Trayce played THIRTEEN. pic.twitter.com/7pmwOHqbMe

A rebound got taken away from him. :(

Nice stretch of games for the dubs. At Denver then Cavs at home plus 2 games vs the Wolves.

yeah pretty pleased they survived the road trip.

im worried about the wings for sure. kuminga still hasnt quite figured it out, but his rim pressure is vital. wiggins looks like hes asleep. moody is solid but his ceiling isnt that high.

really they need wiggins to be his normal self. he doesnt need to be '22 playoff wiggins but hey maybe a little effort would be good. or if he's hurt, sit him until hes right.

i remain a kuminga fan but 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 5 assists to 12 turnovers in 7 games are really bad numbers for a small ball 4 type of player. you just need way more activity all over the court

Curry still the goat

Steph Curry is 35 years old, he’s averaging:

31.8 MPG
30.9 PPG
73.0 TS%
57.8% Catch & Shoot 3s
38.5% Pull-Up 3s
85.7% Rim

Obvious defense against him is to make him shoot from half court.

no warrior has scored 20 or more outside of curry

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38857391/iguodala-named-acting-nbpa-director-tremaglio-steps-down

"Having a former player lead as executive director of the union is an exciting proposition," NBPA president CJ McCollum of the New Orleans Pelicans said in a statement. "We thank Tamika for her service and leadership throughout the CBA process and are thrilled to welcome Andre as acting executive director."

Would be nice if the fellas could make some threes. Wiggins just completely a no show this season and couldn’t even get up for a wolves game he may be cooked.

this is getting crazy

Among the most shocking Warriors stats a few weeks into the season: Nobody on the team besides Steph Curry has scored more than 20 points in a game. Šarić reached exactly 20 in Oklahoma City. Thompson’s season high is 19. Andrew Wiggins’ is 17. Chris Paul’s is 17.

huh
