Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[Jacks Seething Rage]

I thought Podz was suppposed to be a shooter. His shot looks janky as hell. He's basically a more athletic Delly.

Should have lost by 30 today. Suns missed a heap of wide open threes in the secong half, and we had a dead cat bounce with 2-3 minutes to play.

Young guys are the problem...which probably means Kerr is the problem. Kuminga looks as unsure as ever and jumps at every fake, Podz is rushed and can't shoot the thing, Moses is almost out of the rotation, TJD has perhaps been worked out a bit.

Desperately need a second playmaker who can score, or we'll be below .500 in a matter if weeks.

I'm not sure you can say a team was unlucky from 3 when they shoot better than 50% from 3. They couldn't miss in the first half.

You can in this instance.

They shot a high percentage because they played through KD who easily found an outlet pass through our double and triple teams. We should have stopped the first 20 times it didn't work.

The guys bringing the average down were KD and Book.

Hooray we're winners again!!! Was getting a little concerned after losing a few close ones

No Curry or Green and kuminga had a career night with 33. Wiggins 22 and no one else in double figures.

Still a win is a win

 

[fidstar]

Gritty. needed it!

Curry - C+ (Previous C) Probably expecting too much but has been hit and miss this year.
Draymond - B- (B) Solid and key to our defense
Wiggin - B (B-) Been a lot better than last year. Loving it.
TJD - D+ (C) Minutes cut
GP - C (C) Steady

Kuminga - B (B) Been on and off, but doing what he needs to
Looney - B (B) Bounce back year. Leading the league (easily) in offensive rebounds per minute)
Hield - B- (A+) Come back to earth with a thud, but that is how he has historically been
Pods - C (B-) Everything but shooting has been good.
Anderson - C (C) Solid. Nothing worries him
Waters - C (B+) Out of the rotation
Moody - B- (B) A lot of criticism about his minutes but has also been inconsistent.
Melton - NR (NR) A huge loss

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

The 24/5 model of Wiggins is easily playing to his contract value.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Great win in the return leg v Wolves.

Huge game in context of season v Rockets to come.

 

[fidstar]

At half time I was thinking about coming in here and saying the offense really has turned to shit, and then the second half happened.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

And so the trade madness begins.

Hope we steer clear of the big names. Gutting the team for a Butler/Lavine/Ingram seems futile. Current Wiggins playing too well to salary match.

Like the Nets and Raps as trading partners...Schroeder, DFS, Williams Brown, Poetl.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

6 up, 1.20 on the clock...we got this right?

What a shit show. We bottle so many games late.

 

[fidstar]

Steph needs to make that wide open 3 with 11 seconds left.

Then the horrible foul call doesn't even come into play.

Yep from the time we went six points up I count three misses, three fouls, two additional turnovers and two shot clock violations.

Way to close.

Dennis for Melton and seconds is good business. He's a baller.

[AJ_2000]

I think it adds some good additional shooting without massive salary or ego, or losing big draft capital

 

[fidstar]

Seems like a great deal.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Well positioned for another move...tempting fate here, MDJ seems too smart/conservative to go for a 36yo Butler rental.

A shooting big would be nice to open up lanes for Schroeder and Kuminga (if kept).

 

[fidstar]

At least Butler makes some sense over the dumb talk about LeBron.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Genuinely embarrassing.

That's some oooold school Warriora shit right there....

 

[fidstar]

That was the worst thing I've ever seen.

 

[Mr Magic]

Curry and Green getting past their used by date

 

[fidstar]

Past their primes and past their use by dates are two different things.

 

[fidstar]

So our offense is basically Steph or bust (particularly down the stretch of a game).

 

[Mr Magic]

Curry and Green getting past their used by date

I think I am not far from the mark.

The salaries do not support the output, lack of energy, zip, inspiration.

GSW are in a bit of a pickle and having a crack at the youngsters is simply a misdirection
