Bummer to lose, but I loved the activity on defense.

Fun game, a little messy, but I really like what I'm seeing out of this squad!

You can't go through a game with this team where steph doesn't take 1 shot in the first quarter (or maybe he took 1 or 2). Easy for me to say from the sidelines but they know what teams are going to throw at them. They gotta do something

Is it just me, or has our schedule been pretty front loaded?

Hey, at least we got Chi-town and Detroit in between the Eastern contender block and the Western contender block...

The West is just loaded

Yeah true, hell, just the Warriors division looks like a meat grinder lol

Jets, Bucks, Blazers, Clippers 2 in a row, pretty much so!

Warriors have to figure out how to better utilize wiseman on offense, the lob is there and we consistently miss him.

Also he hasn't learned how to roll properly, but he's shooting 40% on 3s.why not have him spot up, space the floor n keep the center out the paint ?

We keep trying to pass around 2 or 3 guys under the basket to get to Wiseman instead of just lobbing it or finding an open man outside. JW can get above those guys, and we can't pass around them. This wasn't the first game where we've tried that, and as Rocky the Squirrel used to say, "That trick never works!"

No way he should be going 4-11 in a game

It makes too much sense

His face-up mid range feels solid too

Well, I was excited for the smallball unit of Curry-DLee-Wiggins-Oubre-Dray, but didn't really do much in either the end of the 1st half nor the end of the game.

My feed is delayed, waiting to see what happens..

We “won” but refs fucked us anyway

I was going to say this regardless of the result so don't think I'm just hating cause we lost but Wiggins has not been good on offense. He's shooting meat 40% on 3s and getting players some nice looks but his ts% is still atrocious

Eh, we know by now he's not a #1 option and he had to force a lot more with Paschall out since he was like the only creator in the second unit.

As long as he keeps defending like this, I'm fine with him being the same old Wiggins on the offensive end. One day in a faraway land Klay will come back, and he'll be the defensive stopper/third option he was destined to be.

You just don’t like that we like him better than Harrison Barnes.

Lol barnes been killing it

You’re sad

Expand full comment

I am

Expand full comment

First two games were horrible, he's been hooping

Expand full comment

You right. He's shooting really well if you don't take into account the first game. I kind of take it back...

Expand full comment

Take it all the way back. He’s been good.

Expand full comment

He's been 1st team all defense I'll give you that

Expand full comment

What Wiggins has been solid IMO

Expand full comment

Bench unit went from great to horrendous replacing Paschall with Wiseman. Going to be tough for the bench to succeed without Paschall, or really any of the bench guys. But if the Chriss injury never happened, it probably would have looked like this every night.

Ah well, GSW got away with the LAC and TOR games, couldn’t hold on to this one

Night lads and lasses. Was a pretty solid home stand, despite the disappointing ending.

Expand full comment

I hope Paschall comes back soon. He was missed tonight.

Expand full comment

Steph and kerr have to figure out how to score consistently when he's getting defended like this

Expand full comment

How to get steph to score consistently*

Expand full comment

Run a simple pick n roll with curry green, two shooters n wiseman a lob threat in dunkers spot

Expand full comment

They don't like spamming that lol

Expand full comment

Curry 62pt game has everyone daring the Not-Currys to beat them.

Well, still got the whole season to figure out how to deal with it.

Expand full comment

Yep, 2-3 guys on him all the damn time

Expand full comment

Might as well get all our ref BS out of the way at once I guess

Expand full comment

Really could have used Paschals scoring tonight, defense was pretty solid though
