Anyone have access to the man-games lost to injury site? I'm curious to see how the Warriors stack up vs other teams.

ayo makes it easier for us to retain him post rookie contract if Wiseman’s knees keep acting up lol.. :( Who am I kidding this sucks. I just want to see the homie’s game grow on the court.

Bad news about Wise -- not that I expected him to be a world-beater, but I was hoping he might be able to eat some minutes clogging the middle. That decision not to add a big man smarts right about now.

Still hopeful about Steph. For now, count me with those who think the rest will do him some good. Whatever happens in the playoffs -- whomever they draw as an opponent, whatever the path, I hope Steph goes ballistic in the playoffs, Poole follows suit, Klay plays within himself, Wiggs finds his aggression, Dray stays healthy and runs the show, and GPII, OPJ, and Iguodala are healthy enough to show out. I just want to see them at something approaching their best, and I'm happy to let the chips fall as they may. Go Warriors!

OT Tough decision. I am two weeks in, three weeks away from finishing my last practicum of my postgrad diploma to graduate as a teacher... and with demands mounting I need to take a mini sabbatical from DNHQ :( Wherever we end up, it's been 3 years since we last got there! So see you all in the Playoffs!!!

I want to avoid the Mavericks in the first round so I don't know if them losing and further entrenching into the 4/5 slot is good if the Jazz start winning. Then again the Nuggets and Wolves are close to them in losses (not sure who owns what tiebreaker) so even if the Jazz overtake the Warriors it might not matter.

The Wiseman setback is a huge disappointment. This team is still a competitive one, but not a championship one. I'm sure many of the fans are harboring championship hopes but that just comes with the territory, the history of the Dubs and our memories. Now we get to see what the support players can actually bring without any sugar coating. This is the reality of the situation and we can moan and groan or just accept the circumstances as they are. For myself, I am looking at the offseason for some changes, perhaps some big ones, perhaps as usual, only minor tweaks and other vet signings. No one knows what the future brings.

With adversity comes opportunity...

Luckily the team is in pretty good position standings wise considering what was expected or hoped for at the start of this season.

Almost all of the players have for the most part met or exceeded any reasonable expectations!

A tough and tricky way to finish what has been an overall great season...up to this point.

We should only have expectations (with some hope) for more of the same from the 2021/22 Golden Sate Warriors!!

Another shitty day as a Warriors fan , Lacob said we had 5 centers, the truth is that i don’t find not a single one in the team, not even Looney is a true center, hire a 7 footer, come on!

It feels not too long ago Steve was saying he believed Wise would be ready to replicate aspects of Aytons game this season....sigh. Poor guy. Must be super demoralising. Hopefully Dray can connect with him Embiid so he knows hes not the only one to go through this (shout out to whoever shared the Dray & Embiid interview link on here - that was awesome).

Gary Payton II remains out for the Warriors tomorrow vs the Spurs. Moses Moody is questionable with right shoulder soreness. Andrew Wiggins and Nemanja Bjelica will both return.

I really hope our front office gets multiple centers in the upcoming offseason.

I wouldn’t say this is a setback per se on Wiseman. He’s a humongous human being (even bigger than Jaron Jackson). Off-season he needs to shed some of that bulk and put some lean muscle on those stilts for legs. This is an absolute indictment on the FO/Ownership. I get this is their shiny toy and understandable that they didn’t chase a big man at the beginning of the year but by December they should have been in full blown get another big man mode. Not much of a difference would it make now BUT it would have netted us a win or two more earlier in the year instead of having Bjeli be a traffic cone on defense

Via Slater:

James Wiseman's return to the Warriors has stalled, sources tell @ThompsonScribe and me. Swelling in his right knee. Not practicing with the Warriors the past two days, as initially planned. Won't play in Santa Cruz tomorrow. Status beyond uncertain. https://t.co/9eOAtSIOGT
