In-Game Notes
By the end of the year, it would be great if GSW grew enough to have a puncher's chance against LAL. But I expect LAL to smack the good guys unless they get bored and GSW plays their current best.
Lakers brought their C game. Unfortunately, GSW also brought their C game
I have very high tolerance for missed shots and getting outsmarted but it really ticks me off that LAL is out hustling GSW.
Soft mercy rule
Wow Damion drew a charge on LBJ
Steph looked off a wide open Poole corner 3 to take a contested buzzer beater. We can let him have his one indulgence.
I just want the team to hustle and play hard and play desperate.
KELLY HOMBRE
Oubre with the bench. Very interesting. Worth a try!
HEY the Warriors completed an interior pass! Wana to EP! The drought ends!
Oubre finished another of his weird line drive layups from under the basket
OUBR3 WITH NO HESITATION
I like Wanamaker not backing down at all to LBJ.

Paschall is so strong, he has a way of appearing to ghost through defenders
How many rebounds have been ripped out of Dub hands today? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
OUB-TREY
Seems unfair for LAL to counter our bench smallball with AD
The Wana-EP chemistry is real.
(On running David West sets for Wiseman) I think that’s worth a try. If JW could be automatic from the elbows...
the Wiseman midrange... starting to believe in it.
The Wiseman hands... starting to not believe in it
Oubre no foul, gets the loose ball, gets the FTs... great streak. this will have to be our super bowl
Lol Wiseman stands up to Gasol’s swivel, KCP tries a terrible flop.... Then Wiseman throws down a charge that you could see coming like the tide
Wiggins has calibrated the range from that 3 spot. Steph with a really nice find.
Steph backscreen for Wiggs, forces Schroder to switch to Wiggs, Wiggs posts up, Schroder flops like a salmon, Steph 3.
If GSW can keep hitting 4 out of 5 threes, I like their chances tonight
F this smallball stuff, we’re going MICROBALL, bring in Wanamaker at C
Come on, you gotta give us 3 FTs. You know LAL can pull away if they really try, LET’S MAKE THEM SWEAT
That was sad
Paschall does not recognize your physical presence. Begone.
You could see Steph call for the EP pass to Looney. Steph expected two to come to him and hand signaled...
…
WOW
There's only really three things these Warriors are abysmal at.
1) They give up a ton of rebounds. You hope that improves with Wiseman's growth, but Paschall at center (or even Dray at center) lineups are always gonna struggle there due to size.
2) They give up a lot of FTs. Wiseman of course is the biggest culprit, but Wiggins, Bazemore, Oubre aggression seem to give up some silly fouls every game and get us to the bonus. Those ones you just have to live with.
3) The starting lineup is digging a lot of holes. 126 minutes at -16 rating is just a really, really hard anchor to carry. The key to this lineup turning it around is Oubre and Wiseman.
So it's nothing we don't know but we go as far as Wiseman develops. Man, just imagine if we could have had Gasol and Batum on this team. And if Klay had stayed healthy, we might have both. Truly unfortunate.
