Steph and Klay missed two near open 3s That is why both where shaking their heads after the game

Good:

- Steph looks good

- Dray injury is manageable

- Dre didn't hurt himself and had a positive impact (but for last few minutes)

- Apricot gets a break from E1Ps

Bad:

- We lost to LOLakers

- Lamb's 50th game

- Kuminga had a tough game - growing pains, I guess

- Apricot gets a break from E1Ps

A loss is a loss. Hurts a little more against the Lakers. But after 5 wins a loss might be expected. But I really don’t understand this huge home/away difference. Why?

Just one of those things: like flipping 17 tails out of 20. I keep expecting some regression to the mean, but...

I mean, defense played better. I'm cool with that, I guess

Two words: Anthony Davis. He got it going on the offensive end and was bothering the Warriors when they tried to score in the paint. It feels like the Warriors don't have answer to Davis's defense unless they hit a lot of threes, which they did in the 2nd quarter.

Seems like again we have no answer to a skilled big man who makes play difficult for Looney.

Reminiscent of the nBA finals against Rob Wills

Of course the Lakers without both of their primary PGs turn the ball over just 7 times and don't make a single fucking mistake or miss a single FT down the stretch. Goddamit.

Ah well, at least Eric gets the night off.

Indeed. No "hello everybody" on Monday. 😢

Good mins from Iggy today and Steph looked spry. Positives moving forward. Expecting much better chemistry with the integration of those 2 in the next few games

Thank you for the positivity.

I mean if we didn’t spot the lakers a 20 point lead in the first we probably would have won

andre came in - screwed it up - we loose to the f* lakers and now all back to square one!

This loss was not on Andre.

We still have the 5th seat

It's always been hard even when Andre was younger to play a non shooter alongside Draymond. It's a spacing concern.

Expand full comment

Andre was +13. This wasn't on him.

Expand full comment

I didn't see much to convince me he was a big part of that (+11 actually).

Expand full comment

He wasn't great, but didn't stick out negatively either

Agreed. He was... there.

Which is fine. I don't really expect him in the core playoff rotation, unless Dray misses a game or something. Just saying the loss isn't on him.

Expand full comment

He’s old and isn’t really good at much anymore. He’s a good locker room dude but I’m not sure playing him over Kuminga in 90% of circumstances makes much sense anymore

Expand full comment

And you're right, this was definitely NOT on Andre. He was good within limited expectations. He passed well, only picked up that one foul where he swiped at AD (and he often can disrupt those), a couple of assists, didn't turn it over, even got a block.

Wiggins would have sealed this as a win. Please hurry back, Wiggins.

We could have used GP2 too. Oh well.

I'm developing an entirely unwarranted dislike for Austin Reaves, all out of proportion to his actions.

I'm wanting him to join us....

Big 3 definitely wanted this game
