(23-24) Steph returns and overcomes Bulls, no ifs ands or butts
Wiseman looks more together after finally getting to practice
Also, the game thread sets a record for most butt jokes.
Apricot's In-Game Notes
Wiggs follows a bad post feed with an immediate steal back
Wiseman looks more assertive on the defensive glass. Also there’s been a crapload of PNR with Wiseman.
Whoa that was tricky footwork for Steph to fake the shot pick up in the middle of a step back... haven’t seen that before.
Warriors running a lot more east-west screens and cuts than usual. They’ve installed some new stuff to let Wiseman set screens in PNR without just moseying up to the top of the key.
I wonder if someday dribbling on your knees will become a standard move
[On Dray’s 3 coming back] Don’t cry for what we lost, laugh for what we had
This thread definitely setting some kind of record for butt jokes. Finally my vision for this site has been realized
[On a promise to buy Subway if Dray hits two more 3s] I don’t think we’ll get to cash this one, but after last time, I may bookmark
Baze is... dominating?
That was damn mature for the Dubs to have 7 on the clock, and they patiently post up Looney and then Poole with a smart cut
I'm a bit disappointed Steph is back in. He's laboring a bit late in the fourth
(23-24) Steph returns and overcomes Bulls, no ifs ands or butts
Rumor has it that the Cousins wants to return to the Warriors. We could use the shooting/rebounding/passing but his defense makes me feel icky. I guess he wouldn't be bad as a situational rotation player with high upside. He hasnt played well this year, but in his last couple games he had begun playing much more efficiently.
I'm a bit worried that he might eat into Wiseman's minutes which is a big no no. On the other hand, I would certainly love for Wiseman to learn from a center with DMC's skillset. Imagine Wiseman who plays good defense + is a bruising center who excels in rebounders/passing/shooting? I'm salivating.
