Grizzlies/Blazers have the 2nd of their mini baseball series this afternoon. Griz edged Portland by two on Friday; hoping Portland returns the favor today.

Apparently Juan hit his head on the same kind of metal step Steph fell on that caused his tailbone injury. Yikes.

There is no doubt in my mind that Curry & Cie have unleashed Kerr's system in this current run that we are experiencing. Many of the fans interpret this as the Warriors can will there way to the Finals! This is a .500 club and some fans are convinced we will take down Utah. It's certainly a nice image and one that may be common under the influence. I'll let the mathematicians figure out the Warriors chances of a ring this season. Oh wait, they already have. The genius crew in Vegas has the Warriors at +15000 odds. Brooklyn, otoh, is +230, and 11 other teams with way better odds than our Dubs. Of course, these are just odds, not certainties. Is anyone going all in and putting their life savings on our Dubs? You could wind up very rich if they win!

One other factor that no one seems to be talking about is how poor our Dubs have played on the road this season. No other team in the playoffs/ins has a poorer record on the road than we do, 12-20. This should be even more incentive for those betting fans who are convinced our time has come to put their money where their mouth is. See you at the bank.

Wolves beat the Jazz and are now 2-0 against the Jazz this season (and above a .500 pace with DLo and KAT). They play again in 2 days and then the Wolves get the Rockets. Still have the Magic and Pistons and Pelicans too.

The chances at a top 5 pick look like they could be falling apart right in front of the finish line. As someone who wants to trade Wiseman and/or the pick (probably both), hasn't been a great few weeks for my hopes lol. But where the pick ends up matters a lot more than the probabilities, so we'll see what happens.

I loved the article and shoutout to Rocky. And thanks for running Klay’s video again. I like to think of Klay happily swimming in the Bay, kayaking, and riding Bart. It hurts to see him down.

Aaron Gordon throwing the towel at Poole after his buzzer beater is the kind of fun pro sports needs to embrace more.

Facts about remaining games:

- All against WC teams

- 8 out of 12 at home

- 8 out of 12 against teams who are 4 or more games outside play-in bracket. Hou/Min/Sac - 1 each, Okc - 2, NO - 3 (two of which are B2B). #LetsWinAll #CurryRests4thQtr

- 2 out of 12 against teams which are in or within 0.5 games of play-in bracket : Dal and Mem. In each case, game will have tie-breaker implications. Both at home. #MustWins #NoMercy

- Remaining 2 games against top two seeds (Utah and Phx). Games are back to back but two day break after them. #HopeToWinOne

We could go 11-1 if Steph and Dray don't F around (ain't gonna happen - they will) and no more injuries.

Now somebody put a reverse jinx.

Don’t look now, but Julius Randle and RJ Barrett are good at basketball or something... this is important for Dubs keeping their pick

Great article!

One thought that occurs looking at that sequence with the Curry backscreen to Wiggins dunk is that as much as "lol I'm going to use Steph as a screener not a shooter" schtick is a little funny, that part of Curry's game is going to really age well.

Seeing him this good at this age... I think we are seeing a lot of aspects of Curry's old man game emerging. His drives are a lot more slow and solid now, he's stronger, and those screens he's setting must feel like the come out of nowhere because of how much running around he's doing. No mistake, this is still peak Curry, but I'm starting to get the feeling that even after he gets through his next big contract, he'll still have a few years left in the tank, if he wants it.

Found this on Reddit today. The takes on that thread are hilarious in hindsight
