Before the year began I thought we'd be a team that got out running but I haven't seen any consistent push to do so. Then again our fastbreaks often look clunky so maybe that's why...
I think there are a lot of backup centers that Paschall can feast on, but Boucher seemed like a tough matchup. Then again, Boucher was in foul trouble a lot, wasn't paying attention to if that was Paschall's doing.
I don't know how the Raptors are 2-7, they have so many top defenders.
And we had him on 2-way if I am not wrong ☹️. I guess it took him a while to get better after injury in college and also we didn't give him enough reps (vs say Bell). This may be biggest miss for Bob.
There's no way Kerr is playing lineups purely to maximize the chance of winning the game, but I'm really curious what he's thinking and why Dlee isn't getting more run.
Ok... that makes me feel a little better, bc unless oubre starts making better decisions its PAINFUL to watch him shoot a 3 with 12 on the shot clock when the game is on the line
Warriors win even more impressive given that statistically -- it was the worst shooting performance (2-for-16) of Steph Curry's career -- in a game where he got at least five shot attempts, according to @ESPNStatsInfo
I still think we'll lose ~90% of games where curry shoots well below his average but wiggins/paschal/Lee are seem like they have something to say about that
Post-game thread up, by the venerable Nate P.
Hard disagree Mullin, Draymond is never gonna be a 38% 3pt shooter again....
if draymond gets to 38% on 3pts we gona be championship
Shooters can’t comprehend non-shooters, lol.
Looks like Lee walked away with the game ball - appropriately so.
Wiggins Curry were terrible from three (and Oubre is always terrible from three) going 5-26... and we still win. Wow.
Curry only starter to finish with a positive point differential, +7. In a way that shows how impactful he is.
Second game in a row that's true, no?

Raptors killed us on the fast breaks

But those sweet bench points...

Paschall is super effective against thick slow bigs. Watanabe And Boucher with their length and mobility def made it challenging for him.
They'll bounce back.
Imagine if we had D Lee against Toronto in 2019 😢
We still would have lost.
Thanks for consulting the crystal ball. Need to get me one of those
Oubre and Wiggins 1st team all defense
I'm surprised wiseman only played 17 min. Not sure how I feel about that
There's no way Kerr is playing lineups purely to maximize the chance of winning the game, but I'm really curious what he's thinking and why Dlee isn't getting more run.
I think it’s defense. Today he pulled Lee when Lowry was eating him up and put in Mulder.
I feel like Kerr does this every year. First part of the season is to experiment, then by mid-season he's settled on things.
Ok... that makes me feel a little better, bc unless oubre starts making better decisions its PAINFUL to watch him shoot a 3 with 12 on the shot clock when the game is on the line
Last 3 mins or so, he is definitely playing to win but also trying to find that closing that he may need during POs

Seahawks lose, we win. Gotta say it was a good day.. and a half
So anymore concerns on Wiggins? I think I am on Wiggin-stan 💯
Yeah, Wiggins so far turning out as good as the FO said they could see him so far.
I’ve honestly been on his bandwagon since watching his brief stint last season, but he’s exceeded my fairly lofty expectations
Wiggins most improved 2021
Nah I’m not worried about him
no more.
Regression on lffense is plausible. But defense is really impressing me, and seems less susceptible to regression
He will get better around the rim, worse with 3 point shooting.
Yes we won... DLee clutch as always
This is gonna improve our defensive efficiency. Although net rating gets worse
Net rating is currently negative, so 1pt win will improve it
😃
So we are 6-4 with wins against the Blazers, Clippers and Raptors. I'll take it!
I'll take 6-4 with 2 of our starting 5 looking lost on the court.
