Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[Kramer1]

Struck some solid form out of nowhere...makes all those tight and OT losses even more critical.

Losing Brown will derail Pacers season.

 

[fidstar]

4-1 road trip with the only loss being in overtime is very good.

Best game in a while against the Pacers.

Some G-League guys off the bench playing well.

Nice win with GP2 11pts at 100%, 4 rebs, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Huge.

Klay still had the brick factory going. Ego for him, can't cope with where his body and mind are.

2.5 years on huge money for no play every stat is declining but wants to start and close each game and wants big money and years contract after already having $266m in payments.

Does he think he is equal with Stef because he says the exact opposite of Stef.

Fought back bravely to.500...it's now we typically drop the ball.

Also in the play-in. Will be hard to overtake the Lakers who are being kissed on the dick by the free throw fairy.

 

[Kramer1]

Home game, traditional rival, Kawhi out, George fouls out early, coach Lue ejected, double digit lead.

Of course we s**t the bed.

 

[fidstar]

So many games we should have won. Should be 30-22.

 

[fidstar]

Initial reaction was "Here we go again". But this one in isolation (almost throwing the game away) wasn't too bad. 9 games in 14 days on the road on a b2b at altitude.

Final pre-all-star grades

Steph - A Playing great outside the last game (Previous A+, A, A, A-, A)
Klay - C- Improved, but very inconsistent (C, C-, D, C-)
Wiggins - C+ Improving (D, D+, D, C-, C)
Green - C+ Different team with him (C, D, D, NR, C)
Looney - D Almost out of the rotation. Seems to get a few minutes to keep the streak going (B, B-, C+, C-, C-)

Paul - NR Injured (B, B, B, B-, NR)
Kaminga A- Our second best player at the moment (B-, C+, C+, B, A-)
Moody NR Out of the rotation (B, B+, B+, NR, NR)
Payton C Been good since coming back (B, B, NR, NR, NR)
Saric C+ Minutes have been cut lately (B+, B+, B+, B+, B-)
Jackson-Davis C- Out of the rotation. Okay when playing (B, B-, NR, B, C)
Pod B+ I like him a lot (NR, B, B+, B+, B+)
Quinones C I thought he was no good early in the year, but has been very solid and is good depth (NR)

Hopefully Klay's performance is seen as vindication of a bench role...not a reason to immediately slot him back in the starting 5.

I feel for Moody...seems to do everything right, but racking up DNPs.

No.no.no. He has looked good twice against the sh@t Jazz and crap against anyone is any good. Playground bully.

Won 8 of 10 going into the break.

Need to come out with the same momentum. Need 7 or 8 wins in the next 10 so we can actually be playing for a second chance in the play in or even pushing for 6th.

 

[Tesla Tenet]

This is Klay. Useless against good teams and sometimes total crap.

Solid win. Amazing that we've been on such a tear, but still only 10th with limited prospects of moving up. West play-in bracket will be wild.

No one below us really motivated to win, so can't see us missing the play in...but at the same time can't see us sniffing a playoff spot. Play in double chance the realistic goal.

Bench unit soon to contain CP3 and Klay.

 

[Kramer1]

Trayce Jackson Davis ladies and gentleman...

Changed the game on both ends when Bucks were charging in the 3rd. Great ability to finish through pressure, and times his blocks to perfection.

And Moody's box score doesn't jump out, but was giving Lillard fits on defense.

Well coached by Kerr too. Responded well when we were challenged.

 

[fidstar]

He's moved past Looney and Saric. Though I expect Looney to get minutes come playoff time depending on who we are playing.

 

[fidstar]

Season may have turned on an ankle. Lost the game against the Bulls, which we probably win if Steph doesn't get injured. The win would have put us just a half game behind Dallas.

Now two soft games which we probably would have gone 2-0 if Steph plays.

Other guys need to step up. Can't afford to drop either of them, Steph or no Steph if we want some chance.

Hopefully Steph is back after that. Very quiet on the expected time out though.

 

[fidstar]

Also, what happened with Wiggins against the Bulls? Didn't play the last 18 minutes of the game.

 

[fidstar]

Guess we're going to try and do this from 10th.

 

[Kramer1]

No Stef no Dubs.

Will be hard to dodge Lakers in play-in.

 

[fidstar]

Last roll of the dice not to be the 10th seed today.

 

[Kramer1]

Always going to struggle when 3 starters go for 9 points combined in 80 minutes.

 

[fidstar]

Just not good enough.

 

[fidstar]

Embarrassing by Draymond to get himself ejected on a foul call.

 

[fidstar]

[fidstar]

We're a different team when we play defense.
