Postgame they just said Loon has 13+ rebounds in the last 6 games, I think I was just kind of assuming he was getting those numbers because the dude is a beast

Expand full comment

He had 17 rebounds tonight to go with his 12 Points.

I know everyone likens PBJ to MPJ or Otto. But for some reason, he makes me think of Klay more than anyone else. May be it is the shooting form or demeanor or 'i am always happy' face.

If PBJ is Klay-like but 6-10 ... doesn't that make him MPJ-like?

Expand full comment

The Warriors site still lists him as 6'9", as does Basketball Reference. Has he grown an inch? (Entirely possible at that age.)

It's an interesting comp ... is PBJ already better than MPJ on defense?

I don't really know, but PBJ moves his feet pretty well at 6'10".

Very similar games on offense. Catch and shoot with feet set, both are nearly automatic.

Moving even a little bit, percentages drop precipitously.

I just cant believe we have pbj.

Guy rightfully was gonna go high in the draft and then got injured.

What a gem!

11 or more threes in game:

Steph 12 times

Klay 4 times

Dame 3 times ... and counting. Just needs three in the second half to get there.

No one else in NBA history has done it more than once.

Beautiful game, great fight back. The last 24 seconds are fuzzy in my head but it’s the result that counts

You're only supposed to use the flashy thingy for losses.

What flashy thing

Expand full comment

Self flashy? Ahahahahahha

If we could just pair Klay with another HOF shooter we’d be…..oh wait!

Expand full comment

Yup and if we could add two dudes that play D…check, got that too!

I think that's looking ahead a bit for PBJ, but I like the sentiment!

we can’t possibly ask the current version of this team to stay afloat if draymond, wiggins and steph is out for at least another week or two

Expand full comment

Yes we can

Expand full comment

And we will. Go 2nd timeline!

7th seed, baby!!! And 0. 5 game away from 6th seed

Klay DDV and Looney have been keeping this team from becoming a sinking ship

Expand full comment

Ddv started horrible but had a nice bounce back attacking the rim

Expand full comment

And Jerome

Expand full comment

Uh ... Dame with 41 points and eight threes ... at halftime.

Expand full comment

Big fan of Dame.

I'm not sure if it's terrifying that in these late game ballhandling situations, I'd rather have Jerome out there than anyone else in this game (i.e. other than Steph and Dray).

Personally, recovering from Klay’s two turnovers at the end is gonna take another bong hit.

LOON DAWG

Okay, ending was dicier than it needed to be, but a lot of that was fucking Tony Brothers trying to get Minny back in it with two straight bullshit calls.
