Dear faithful readers, I’m writing to warn you that we are doing some behind the scenes technical work that might disrupt access to the site for a day or two. No need to panic.
If all goes well, you will never notice a thing.
If all goes badly, the letsgowarriors.com URL will act funny for a while. You will still get the emails, and you can reach the site itself (which should be alive and healthy) by clicking on the headline of the email.
The West is simply not scary this year. The two teams with the most talent are facing 1st round elimination. Why tf did Ja, Jonas, Grayson, and Tillman have to hit 9 threes against us? This pretty crappy Warriors team could have made the WCF or Finals.
Honestly my two title favorites might be facing off in the Eastern semi's.
here's a real interesting (or tediously boring, depending on who you are) look from one of our Substack buddies.
He re-watched, and manually tabulated step-back threes and found that the league really under-reports misses.
As someone who uses the detailed Synergy play data a fair amount, this is about what I expected, but it's a bigger discrepancy than I'd like to see, obviously.
Knicks. Hate Dolan, and suspect players hate him too. So rooting for the team that overcomes his ineptitude and does well anyway. Plus I grew up watching the Pistons so kinda a sucker for the “drag you into the mud” style. (Although, of course, prefer the “beautiful game” style of the Ws)

Draymond on Inside The NBA: "Getting draft picks and placing them next to two All-Stars. That don't work."
Was discussing the Wizards here, but I have a hard time believing it wasn't a message to Bob and the FO.
Is it possible for us to get kawhi in a sign and trade?

If this Luka dude ever gets a legit 2nd star he's going to win a few rings
The mavs offense is ugly af, I though Carlisle was a good coach? Luka iso'd everytime the whole fourth with absolutely no ball or player movement
Man... D Rose and Poole would be nice coming off the bench together
Apricot, please clarify what you wrote about Okongwu under Atlanta/Petty Rivalries saying that Okongwu fell to NYK. Is this a typo?
Bye bye Memphis. They ran out of gas.
Nice first quarter for the Jazz. 47 points, 68% from the field, 60% (9-15) from 3, and only one turnover.

Two teams pretty weaker than Bucks Sixers and Nets. I pick Atlanta because of Danilo Gallinari

At this point, AD is injured so frequently that he might as well change his name to Anthony Day-to-Dayvis.
It's weird seeing Steph tweet about another players playoff performance. He's usually still playing at this time of the year.
