Great job, as usual, Eric. This may sound silly and superfluous, but I notice that you changed your audio editing a bit so that the music starts at the same moment you say "Hello everybody." I got so used to hearing the way things used to be with about 2 measures of music before you spoke that I find it jarring.
I can’t read these comments because I spent a bunch of the last game watching Poole on defense and now my eyes are broken. In all seriousness, it feels like he spends 50% of the time ball watching and then looking around for his man, 50% closing out after the shot is already up, and the other half getting ready for the next offensive possession.
Do we root for OKC or LAC tonight? They're playing a baseball series too... do we root for a split, or OKC winning both, or LAC winning both? I guess we have a home game left against OKC that could gain a head-to-head lead... but I tend to focus on staying out of the play in, so I'm probably rooting for the Clippers to sweep. Then maybe OKC can start tanking by the time they play us.
Is referring to our controversial player as “Number 40” instead of his name a way of saying we’re complimenting the jersey and not the man? If so, I’m on board.
Speaking of the Warriors schedule, it feels like they are the only team in the league who does not play against the same team twice in a row.
-Kings played against the Nuggets twice on 12/27 and 12/28 at home. They will face the Blazers twice on 3/29 and 3/31 on the road. (2)
-Lakers played against the Spurs twice on 11/25 and 11/26 on the road. They will face against the Bulls at home on 3/26 and on the road on 3/29. (2)
-Suns played twice against the Blazers on 11/4 and 11/5 at home and twice against the Pelicans in 12/9 and 12/11 on the road. (2)
-Clippers played against the Thunder twice in OKC on 10/25 and 10/27, the Rockets twice on 10/31 at home and 11/2 on the road, will face the Thunder tonight and Thursday at home, and the Grizzlies twice on 3/29 and 3/31 on the road. (4)
-Timberwolves faced against the Spurs twice on 10/24 and 10/26 at home, twice against the Blazers on 12/10 and 12/12 on the road, twice against the Mavericks on 12/19 and 12/21, twice against the Rockets on 1/21 at home and 1/23 on the road, and twice against the Nuggets on 2/5 at home and 2/7 on the road.

I'm really glad that JK has abandoned his Kobe copy cat dunking techniques and just keeping it simple. Other than the amazing flying through the air stuff.
The picture headlining this article where Kuminga jumps up, is moving horizontal, then lands on the defender, should NOT be a foul on the defender. That call is ridiculous. All the defender did there, was get landed on.
There is optimism that Minnesota Timberwolves stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards (ankle) could return as soon as Wednesday vs. Atlanta Hawks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Towns, sidelined since Nov. 28 with Grade 3 calf strain, is on the cusp of a major return.
Technical question: should JK give his jumpers more air? The arc looks a bit flat (like Wiggs, or Livingston). Narrower margin of error, right? Compare this to Unguardable, luckiest shooter ever, who gives ball and hoop more to work with. JK’s efficiency is high so no complaints, but he’s young enough to make adjustments. Just how good could he be?
Looking at body language of Steph and Klay on the bench , Klay during the presser and also how much urgency Klay and Dray (to some extent) have shown on the court on road, I feel like they know that Wiggs is not coming back and this season (and potentially trio playing together) is over.
I have a foreboding. The Lion KumINGa is about to claim his crown. And I feel that will happen in the playoffs this season. I believe it won’t be gradual: JK has already shown that he has an intensity raise in the fourth quarters. Since the playoff games are essentially composed by four fourth quarters, this is what will happen, DESPITE KERR: JK will go on being the critical mass for our sorely missed nuclear defense, and then will start raining middlerange shots to open both the three and the slash-and-assist spaces. He will start going thirty, being the second alternative after the Chef, and leaving to KT the big and clutch shot space. It will happen naturally, like the hunt of lions: nothing will save the gazelle, we already know it when the NatGeo documentary begins.
We just have to remember padding the lower border of the boards at Chase.

If Wiggins comes back, the Steph/Klay/Wiggs/JK/Draymond lineup should A) often close games and B) could be dominant

Must be some name/copyright infringement case currently in litigation that has forced EA to have to use "#40" for the player formerly known as Lamb?
Looking at body language of Steph and Klay on the bench , Klay during the presser and also how much urgency Klay and Dray (to some extent) have shown on the court on road, I feel like they know that Wiggs is not coming back and this season (and potentially trio playing together) is over.
At home, crowd brings back the joy in them.
Hopefully I am wrong.
