Just feel compelled to point out that, while Wiggins might say "I'm really good at midrange jumpers" he is in fact very bad at midrange jumpers (36% career, 31% 2024 from 10-16, 35% career, 39% 2024, from 16-3P)
Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis are questionable tonight for the Warriors in Orlando. Right knee soreness for TJD, left knee soreness for Kuminga.
Glad to see a good shooting game from Klay, but with Miami missing Butler, Herro, and Love (edit: and Robinson), it was like going up against their bench unit. He's been shooting much better in that role this year.
I love how Draymond's passing created a "gravity" of its own in that scenario. He is a basketball artiste, especially when paired with the elite shooting of Steph and Klay.

Holy hell, Franz Wagner is shooting a disgusting 29% from 3pt land this season. That means we'll dare him to shoot it tonight and he'll go 5-9.

I'm going to give Podz a big fat F for his celebration skills

There’s no I in celebrayshun!

Raise the Roofe.
And, not many E1P's where I'm laughing 30 seconds in .... nice!
Great stuff, Eric. Thanks for the laugh; medicine, these grim, testy, days....lol
