SIGH

So... Omari Spellman (in G-League and available I believe) or go full Tank Commander and have The Dawning of the Age of Alen Smailagic ... ?

Side note; I think the compressed schedule this year might be taking a toll. Seems like more injuries than usual across the league. Looking forward to (hopefully) a normal schedule next year.

Whelp. I am not sure what this all means. But I’d have to think it is better than a ligament? I was fearing he might miss time next year but hopefully he won’t. Or maybe I’m grasping at straws.....

Would Marquese Chriss be back to scrimmaging now if he was still on a roster? I thought the timetable for his injury was that he would be back sometime in April or May?

I was thinking about how dunks have been our curse - Wiseman being the latest victom. Slater mentions the same. From The Athletic:

Dunk attempts have cursed the Warriors lately. Klay Thompson tore his ACL in the 2019 Finals on an off-balance landing. Kelly Oubre Jr. has sprained his wrist twice this season while bracing his fall. Marquese Chriss broke his lower leg on a scrimmage alley-oop.

Spellman been available all year right? Surprised we never picked him backup

Center rotation - Loon first 6 minutes of each quarter, Dray last 6mins of 2nd and 4th and JTA last six minutes of first and third?

When is EP back?

That's another risk you take drafting a bigman, injuries and being injury prone

Well, MCL tear better than ACL tear at least? He can still have an offseason and training camp ... Fuck man, I'm scraping for any silver lining here....

Fuck.

Well, safe to say Steph really put that injury behind him and is back at full power.

I remain hopeful for happy entertaining basketball with competitive losses and delightful wins ending in a playoff victory or two. My fantasy: Dubs rise to 8th seed, Lakers collapse to 9. W’s send them packing in a nail biting one and done.

Steph has edged back into the 3PM lead over Buddy Heild.

The internal belief within the Warriors is that James Wiseman's right knee injury isn't too serious. Tests will determine extent/timetable, but low level of concern that it's a major blow for the rookie center.

I can't believe we're 25-28. I made fun of everyone who said we'd be in the play in games and here we are. I thought 6th seed would be worst case
