Kerr seems non committal on JK in his pregame. He says 'could be part of the rotation but hasn't played in a while'. I'm not expecting him to see action tonight.
1. either they are still making up their minds (I include JK making up his mind whether to play or not), or 2. JK has not been practicing with the team, and they need a few days to re-integrate him back into the scheme.
In lieu of facing the reality of JB's injury, I'm here to complain about the cheater Carlos Beltran making the hall of fame, while the much more talented cheater Barry Bonds remains on the outside.
That was pretty awful, losing Zach Wheeler for a short Beltran rental. Of course, the Giants didn't know yet that they would only be successful in even years
It's super early, but I'm kinda excited for this upcoming stint. In my mind, there's no way we're trading Steph. No chance. Which means that we're going firmly into "rage against the dying of the light", "nobody believes in us", "you only live once" mode. Maybe we just don't have enough, but it's gonna be an exciting ride.
Lamelo for JK Buddy Moody if at most one pick? It works on Spotrac. Lamelo has been benched. He's very flawed but one of the highest offensive EPM guys in the league. If it works, it can be spectacular. It also has the potential to combust spectacularly.
How about resting Steph/Dray/Horford a lot more to end this season so we can at least start next season fully rested, and get a lot more practice for our young guys this season?
How about trading some of our health players for an injured player who will come back at the same time as Butler? Is there a team in win now mode with an injured player they don't want to wait for?
They get an off season to rest up, and if we don't make the playoffs or at least don't get deep into them, they'll be plenty rested by next season.
And Steph's not going to let up. He's at 31.8 mpg now, maybe they cut that by a couple of minutes to get him under 30 but I bet he'd be very displeased if cut back much more than that. Horford already gets load management, no B2Bs, playing 19.3 mpg. Those guys are near the end of their careers, and they won't accept being benched when healthy.

I put on my new warriors socks, pj pants, beanie, and my old warriors sweatshirt, and Curry city jersey. I hope Curry hits 15 threes.
Bulls up big on the clippers at half - 70-49 - hope that keeps up
OTOH, suns leading the 76ers in the 4th 105-90 with 8 mins and change - damn!
Spurs up on rockets 45-32 start of second Q - hope this also holds to help our movements up
Sixers shorthanded without Embid and George.
yeah. Bulls very likely to win against clippers though - good for us in some ways, even though they are below us currently

pure speculation, but:
1. either they are still making up their minds (I include JK making up his mind whether to play or not), or 2. JK has not been practicing with the team, and they need a few days to re-integrate him back into the scheme.
I’m pretty sure that covers all the possibilities…
not entirely ... JK could be out of shape because he's been sitting.
I suppose they could be starting him, but just bring coy
Kerr said JK was in shape, had been working out, and was ready and able to play. Which of course doesn't mean he WILL play.
Ah, OK. That sounds pretty good.
In lieu of facing the reality of JB's injury, I'm here to complain about the cheater Carlos Beltran making the hall of fame, while the much more talented cheater Barry Bonds remains on the outside.
And the also supremely talented cheater Roger Clemens remains on the outside.
Im still bitter about Beltran's brief time in SF. That was grim.

Latest Injury report says that Richard and Santos are available but Green is still questionable.

Great read, imo.

Will now duck for cover.
> Lamelo has been benched.
He started their most recent game.
Can you imagine what Draymond would do to Lamelo after yet another of Lamelo's defensive lapses?
Where’s the button to throw rotten vegetables
nyet.
Jeez it's getting darker in this thread than I expected
Spurs at Rockets delayed due to a crooked rim 😂
I tell ya the dishonesty has been getting worse ever since the NBA got in bed with gambling interests. Now even the rims are crooked.
you misspelled "crooked ref"
That's never delayed a game before.
How about resting Steph/Dray/Horford a lot more to end this season so we can at least start next season fully rested, and get a lot more practice for our young guys this season?
How about trading some of our health players for an injured player who will come back at the same time as Butler? Is there a team in win now mode with an injured player they don't want to wait for?

I think Steph cares about All NBA. The young guys naturally will get more minutes because they have to fill 32 minutes of Jimmy!
I don’t think additional rest will make a difference for next season (injuries notwithstanding).
Who’s an injured player on an affordable deal you would want to target?
I wouldn't be surprised if we were blown out tonight, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if we played like maniacs and pulled off a big win.
We're in Schrodinger's Warriors mode right now.

IF Kuminga plays tonight, he will be so rusty.
Hopefully he's been getting plenty of conditioning during all this rest time.
so was the tin man, and he did great... :)
Are you saying JK has no heart?
So you're saying Dr Celebrini will have an oil can handy?
I imagine he'd have a minutes limit for the next few games, too, until he's in full game shape.
If he’s held back by a minutes limit and not poor play that’s a good sign.
This is a time you have go out and play (and root) with joy, recognizing that any day, or any moment, could be your last on the court or off.
Applies to life in general.
As much as it sucks right now, tonight we get to see Steph Curry play basketball.
Depending on how the season plays out we might need him to aim for Klays 3pt single game record or better.
We wouldn't hate watching him chuck for a game
You really are back Dino. 😂
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
