And JJ and Kayla Thorton, two good to great forwards! Reports currently saying they will give a 6th pick plus Rebecca Allen, Crystal Dangerfield, and Natasha Howard to two other teams. Rumors say JJ requested the trade to the Liberty. Gonna be a fun season.

Wow. Yeah, that's going to be a killer starting lineup, assuming MJ intends to play. Do you think this means no Stewie?

Don’t know, why would MJ not play?

What is left to trade for Stewie?

Expand full comment

Stewie is a FA, and it sounds like NY still has room to sign her. That team could be terrifying.

(I was just remembering how MJ came over late last year, which isn't going to be allowed anymore. So I wondered if she might opt out. Pure speculation, though.)

I’m up for terrifying!

They should do everything they can to keep MJ. Can hardly wait.

I can live with games where shots are just not going down but careless games like these are the worst shitshows to sit through.

I didn't see the game as it started at 3:30am and I need my beauty sleep. After taking a look at the box score, I can see this was a very sloppy showing with high TO's and PF's. This has been the M.O. of the Warriors for years, but they used to overcome it by their shooting and defense. Their shooting didn't seem too bad from the box score, but the defense did not look good. Draymond was a team high -24! Curry, 8 TO's?! Their head was not in this game. Do they stand a chance in a b2b with Washington? I strongly doubt it. Won't bother to watch it as it starts at 3am here. They just don't seem able to rise over the .500 mark.

Warriors are 1-10 against East teams on the road this season so far.

Bucks: L; Bulls: L; Pacers: L; Pistons: L; Raptors: W; Knicks: L; Nets: L; Heat: L; Hornets: L; Magic: L; 76ers: L

who knows maybe we'll be the first team to win the chip despite having the worst road record in the league?

BTBs are not good. They looked gassed from the start of the game.

Edit: oops. It just seemed like a B2B.

This game wasn't a B2B :(

It was a “figababa” … but I’m not sure that counts.

AH, Dub FAN language....been a while, Sleepy...

Took them too long from the big-arena to the hotel. 😂

They just looked flat out careless throwing away valuable possessions early on.

At least the 49ers won yesterday.

Expand full comment

They are looking Purdy good!

Yeah that is easing this pain a little - but warriors self destructing in front of our eyes is a difficult pain to ease😡

What do I get?

Hopefully a Warriors win tomorrow :)

I grew up in SD. The Chargers were dead to me when they moved to LA, but after I saw they gacked up a 27 point lead yesterday, I was about ready to go hide in a corner anyway.

The Padres and Chargers have some special kind of (losing) magic.

Expand full comment

Haha, that’s good, but I don’t like the Jaguars either (does anyone like the Jaguars?)

I’m actually more indifferent to the Niners these days. Watched yesterday’s game at a bar in NYC next with a Niners fan friend and the son of Mike Krukow, so was half-rooting for them.

JP looked like a composed, mature vet tonight compared to Steph and Dray.

Expand full comment

Although 4 TOs, 4 fouls, crap shooting from 3.

Expand full comment

True. Although somehow he, Loon, and PBJ were our only players with positive plus-minus.

Expand full comment

Yes, but as you know one-game plus-minus can be misleading. PBJ... two minutes of garbage time and third in +/-. Klay played well and was -16.

Expand full comment

JP had a solid 2nd quarter, but in the second half he was just as useless everyone else on the team

Expand full comment

Fair.

Any objective observer with amnesia of last year's playoff run would never in a million years imagine that this team could be a championship team. They'd write off the Celtics and Memphis wins as flukes that happen throughout an 82-game season, and take the .500 record at face value. A team with bench issues, TO issues, and road defense problems.

Lamb reminds me a lot of Bazemore. He can fill up the hoop when he's on, but he's a walking foul on defense

JK , hurry up and come back

sighhhhhhhh

Thank god for last year's title

We're not good

Miserable game. Unrealistic to expect Steph and Wiggs to just jump in with 0 rust. Draymond was bad: -25 meets the eye test.

Expand full comment

Poole has the decision-making self-discipline of a 15 year old gazing at the car keys.

he has no idea how to play make for others even against 2nd units.

Falling in step with Curry this game
