Good effort from LQ tonight. He's a better rebounder than I thought

Warriors have a better net rating than the Lakers, Heat, and Mavericks.

STEPH was in-bounds when he made the 3pter; why did they take it away?

They SAID his heel was on the line when he caught it. But it wasn't, imo — it was just above. And it's complete BS to go back 30 seconds later and reverse a call that was that borderline.

They basically gave the Grizz a 5-point play at a critical moment. Thankfully the Ws kicked ass after that.

Exactly how I saw it also, Sleepy. If his heel was touching the line, it was by a split-hair and invisible to the naked eye. Totally agree on the reversal, also. Pathetic. Steph hit a 3pter right after that reversal. Ball don't lie....lol

I saw one image where his heel was down and it was very, very close. I couldn't tell for sure whether his heel was touching the line or not.

Expand full comment

Yeah, it was close for sure. But neither of the NBATV announcers thought it was on the line.

FWIW, I saw a replay where his heel was clearly OOB when he caught the ball.

I forgot that Memphis was on the back end of a back-to-back (Cleveland at home).

Considering that they also are down so many players, that was a pretty good game from them.

If that's a good game, I really really don't want to see the bad ones

They put up 100 points with basically one starter. I'd hate to see us try something similar with Steph, Dray, Kuminga, and Wiggs out.

Podz 12 pts (5-8 fg), 7 reb, 14 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk, +18

Kuminga 29 pts (11-15 fg), 6 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl, +15

Zero turnovers combined.

Podz is still 20, and JK just turned 21 in October.

Hey real question. I'm trying to buy tickets at Chase, Section 115, the ticket states "Standing Room Only (SRO) on StubHub. What does that mean?

Really? You just stand the whole time? Are you sure?

Expand full comment

It’s literally called standing room only. Why would think you would do anything but stand

Expand full comment

They also had a stand only section in Oracle.

What a shit deal that would be.

From Reddit "You stand in little squares behind the people sitting in wheelchairs." I'll pass. Maybe a playoff game in which I expect to be jumping the whole time, but not for the BUcks in the regular season

Pods just dropped an S-bomb lol

Can they go 4-0 on the remainder of the road trip to get back above .500?

Probably not, but can they go 3-1 to get to one game below .500?

Expand full comment

I think they should sit OGs in Indiana game. So 3-1.

Though I’ll probably load manage and skip the front end of the back to back

JK is bound to have a game where he can't throw the ball into the basket soon. Let's not turn on him when that game comes

Expand full comment

They seem to have an answer for that. Just get him in position to drive and pick up fouls. I doubt he's going to go on an 0-8 run much anymore.

Remember that game where he had 7 TOs because he was trying too hard? Seems like it was a year ago.

Expand full comment

Plus he's 21 and will do stupid shit sometimes

Expand full comment

True but he is doing a lot less of that as he develops, which is what counts.

Expand full comment

Yeah we're super hard on the 21 year old and laser focus in on all of his flaws. It's only right we celebrate his growth along the way too

Expand full comment

Well said, good anticipation on how people are

Nice to have a stress free win

+1 1st quarter; +9 2nd quarter; +2 3rd quarter; +8 4th quarter

Did Podz change his FT routine? He bounces the ball a couple times, pauses, bounce once more, than takes the shot.

Wutevah, I like to see BP's FTs go in!
