double cheeseburger for 2 game winning streak :)

Kings still have 21 road games to play (most in the conference by far). #3 seed is pretty wide open.

Expand full comment

I’m not sure #2 is quite out of range. We have to play a lot better tho.

Expand full comment

Getting greedy here but the way Grizz are trending, who knows they may fall down to open up #2. I doubt it though since they are going to home now.

Expand full comment

The only downer is that OKC and Wolves also won.

Expand full comment

Yeah to OKC, but nah I'm glad the Grizzlies lost lol

Expand full comment

OKC seems like a trap game coming up the way they are playing - we are not the powerhouse rolling through any more - best thing tonight was the fantastic spark by joKu to give us that boost at a critical phase - last year it was OPJ and GP2 would give us these kind of sparks - now JK and DDV need to consistently give us that spark

are there trap games when you're .500 and battling for a playoff life?

I wonder what the Warriors record in the three games after Steph has been tossed. This is a W. I'm willing to bet the other two were as well.

Expand full comment

Ummm.. I'm pretty sure one was part of Cavs 3-1 comeback, in which I very much wish the Warriors won but the finals trophy seems to indicate otherwise. I have tried to erase it from my memory though, so who knows.

Expand full comment

You and Dan have better memories than me. I don't remember that at all. I think last game they said Steph has been tossed three times in the regular season.

Expand full comment

That just means you have been more successful erasing it from memory! I am envious. Though I don't want to be greedy, 3 championships since then is an ok karmic result.

Expand full comment

Well we definitely didn't win after that game 6 toss

Expand full comment

Could we please take the wins without the tosses?

Expand full comment

If only Klay didn't have a clunker of a game against Nets (he has been on a roll otherwise). We be tied for #4

Makes sense

Expand full comment

Loved seeing the Warriors pull away in the last 6 minutes or so. That was brilliant.

And Jonathan Kuminga needs 25 minutes per game on the regular. Wow!

Expand full comment

Agreed but maybe getting a rebound next game would be great....but I'm not gonna nitpick

Expand full comment

Why not 35? Serious question.

Expand full comment

If his 3pt shot becomes real, then he can play the 3-5, then yeah he can prolly be a 35 min guy

Expand full comment

I could live with 35. Don't know if the core could. But it would extend their careers.

Expand full comment

Honestly if he's playing smart, then yeah

Shit how can we keep DDV for the long term. He plays the right way and from the way he talks to younger guys(he was mic’d up tonight), he’s a good leader.

Expand full comment

Need him. What a great addition!

Expand full comment

that's a question for the future, just enjoying the ride for now

Expand full comment

i like to ponder

Expand full comment

Sign him with the full TPMLE.

But he may get a Non-tax MLE from somebody

Expand full comment

But he’s a year closer to bird rights with the Warriors. So there’s a chance…

Expand full comment

I bet he gets full MLE offers

Expand full comment

He’s for sure worth that much. He can decline his player option next year and maybe he’ll take on our full TPMLE.

He’s in the 10mill-15mill range from what I can guess. If Pat Bev makes 13mill he sure can get something similar. Fingers Crossed though.

Expand full comment

I think we had to use part of that for Rollins, so maybe we have to cut/trade him to offer the full TPMLE

Expand full comment

Get a new TPMLE next offseason

Expand full comment

TPMLE resets every year

Expand full comment

DDV +24

Poole -13

Expand full comment

One game back of the #4 seed and HCA in the first round.

Call me crazy, but I think over the next 33 games, if we lock in and stay focused, we can make up a game.

Expand full comment

(Of course, we're also just two up on #13, so locking in and staying focused would be helpful).

Expand full comment

Steph has started the engine, if the rest of the guys want to follow his lead I think we'll look a lot better moving forward

Expand full comment

The meteor struck 😎

Expand full comment

They replayed on NBA TV Live Steph’s three where he was blatantly fouled. Even the announcer yelled that it was a foul. These refs are blind and inept.

Expand full comment

I missed that. :-(

I know calling an NBA game has got to be difficult, but what I can't understand is why it doesn't feel like the mistakes happen evenly on both sides. Could be confirmation bias -- I am a fan, after all -- but it's infuriating.

Reminds me of the Jimmy Butler foul on Steph that was overturned on review. As long as you only touch the hand you can basically rip a guys arm off. If it’s Steph.

Expand full comment

Steph is a positive guy, he just likes giving opponents high-fives. sometimes they miss and hit his arm, it's ok

Expand full comment

Griz and Toronto wins this week... ahhhhh.

Expand full comment

Wardell

35 points on 13-21 fg

7 reb

11 ast

+13

Still the best player in the league.

Expand full comment

Yeah. But what about the TOVs. Sonia needs to fine him every TOV

11 assists to 3 TO is great. Particularly when facing the super aggressive and long Raptors D, all the double teams and blitzes etc.

Expand full comment

What? Only 7 boards? No triple double? Trade the bum!

Expand full comment

Well, RW would have gotten the triple-double. If only the Lakers knew how to use him...

Expand full comment

great to see DDV interviewed on NBC post game by Bonte and co

Expand full comment

I miss GP2 as much as the next guy but DDV is doing such a great job in his place AND THEN SOME

Expand full comment

Agreed. Serious upgrade
