Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Punched holes in a near full strenth Lakers, while only shooting 31% from 3...I'm not getting ahead, but 5-0 pre season is a little unexpected.

Moody just won't let up. An efficient 21 in 19 min.

 

[fidstar]

Solid deal for Moody

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

1 and 0.

A soft kill to start the year, but we'll take it.

Wiggins solid early, Moody good again and that Hield guy can shoot a bit.

Podz 0 points for +34 must be close to a record.

Kerr emphasising he doesn't care about stat padding and minimising minutes by not playing Curry in the 4th even though he was 1 rebound away from a triple double

Evidently Bogut has the record with 0 points +42.

Way too early takes this season (when we've played the two worst teams in the West):

Positives:

• Defense has been great including Hield who I thought would be a liability.
• All around team play. Everyone is getting involved. New cogs have fit in well.
• Dominating despite Steph not dominating)
• Buddy "Klay who?" Hield.
• Pods is a +/- machine.
• Despite the teams we've played, winning two road games to start the season is good for the team.

Negatives:

• Slow starts, but our defense has kept us from falling too far behind. And we are back in front by the end of the first.
• Kaminga off to a slow start.

I was thinking that we had such an easy start, but you still need to play the games and deliver, which has been good to see.

Just give us the chip now!

 

[AJ_2000]

Just give us the chip now!

And whatever that NBA knockout tournament thing too

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Losing to the Clips now???

Shut it down.

 

[fidstar]

Terrible loss to a team on a road b2b with their last game being in OT and in Denver, with their best player out..

 

[AJ_2000]

You know it's the new NBA season when.....

Warriors' Curry (ankle) to miss at least 2 games

The Golden State Warriors announced that an MRI of Stephen Curry's sprained left ankle Monday did not detect any structural damage and described the injury as a left peroneal strain.

On paper I suppose we should be more competitive in the Stef-less games.

Hield has started great on both sides of the ball...he's hauling arse on defense.

Board mascot Moses was a picture of efficiency, and Lindy Waters gives Toscano Anderson vibes.

Would suck to be a Pels fan. Jump out of the gates, thier big two fire and still blown out.

Good result, especially after being down 20 early. Keep the good vibes and wins rolling.

Nice b2b double digit wins. Defensive effort has been amazing. Tough run coming up though.

Bit of a rough stretch indeed

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

30 point lead, shooting 50% from 3...of course we can't get it done in regular time.

We've made turnovers at crunch times an artform.

But...5 and 1 is nice.

Wild to have such a huge lead chased down on 1.5 quarters.

This was a key game to keep.it rolling with the Wizards next followed by 3 more road games against the Celtics 6-1, Cavs 7-0, Thunder 5-0 before heading home for the Mavs and the return of Klay.

 

[fidstar]

A lot of energy spent having to win the game 3 times.

 

[fidstar]

Winning one of the next three is probably a good result.

Sooo...good result achieved.

Nice even contribution, no forced shots, taking care of the ball. It's a backable system.

Moses starting to only play a team low 13 minutes is the only downer.

 

[AJ_2000]

Great win to start the tough stretch. Keeping to 40 I'm the first half. A 22 point turnaround after being down big early.

Boston have been obliterating teams all year so nice to knock them over.

Pick and rolled the heck out of them and created so much.

Down 7 with 6 to play could have easily folded and said good effort, but made big shots down the stretch to get the W

 

[fidstar]

Nice.
