(22-22) Steph-less Warriors thrill with a huge comeback, depress with a huge anti-comeback

Close enough to get your hopes up.

Oh well. Key comment tonight:

  • The team really has a lot of fight in it. It also has a lot of suck, but that’s not important right now.

Apricot's Brief In-Game Notes

  • Haha I loved that Q3.10.20. GSW calls Head Tap for Oubre. Danny Green relays the play call around. GSW runs Head Tap anyway and get the lob dunk from Wise.

  • Then Wise with nice touch on the pass to the Wiggs backdoor cut.

  • Q3.8:40, I think that was Head Tap again but either a counter option or improv wing PNR

  • The team really has a lot of fight in it. It also has a lot of suck, but that’s not important right now.

  • Poole has nice touch on those little pocket passes out of the PNR

  • Wiseman has set at least two perimeter screens for a Poole 3 and a Wiggs 3. No contact, but got the guys open.

  • Q3.3.20. Dray dished to Wise, then motioned impatiently that he should have attacked. I am not sure what Dray saw there.

Rewatching the game today, I noticed some things that didn't jump out to me live. I have to take back what I said about the coaches being weird putting Wiseman in at the end. By FAR the best stretch of the game was in the 3rd quarter with Wiseman on the court. While he made mistakes, he also played a part in a bunch of the plays that created the comeback. You can see Draymond whispering to him and then him working with Dray to set two screens to get Poole loose for a drive and kick or open for a 3. His screens still seem to be in the wrong place a lot of the time, but for whatever reason he was still getting teammates open. He also had that excellent pass to a cutting Wiggins, which must have been doubly exciting for the coaches to see Wiggins beat his man to make a back cut (lol).

In general, that lineup convincingly looked like they were working TOGETHER in a way that was giving Philly's defense trouble through the 3rd quarter. Going back to Wiseman and all of those guys together in the 4th was the natural move for this coaching staff. They often reward lineups that are working well that day.

Also, when Wiseman does have a good stretch, as a coach you've gotta be thinking "maybe he's making the leap right now" and the temptation to play him and not squander whatever rhythm he's in must be astronomically high. Wiseman playing all around good basketball by the end of this season, after all, would be as big of a win for the team next year as almost anything else they can accomplish.
