Isaiah Thomas in NBA TV just said that Curry got fouled on his last three attempt

First time I've ever agreed with Isiah

I agreed with him on something a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked.

Dray interview: “having Looney on the floor makes life easier for me…” probably big reason why we go with looney-dray pairings so much

Cattle prod!!!!

Loon with double digit points!

Expand full comment

Loon + Dray combined for 29 points. File under: pennies from heaven.

That has to be a first-in-a-long-while, huh?

I'm not saying they'll do it because they obviously won't. But I hope this game made it clear to all Warrior fans that Sabonis would be a way better add than Turner.

Expand full comment

Apparently all the advanced stats favor Myles. Don't know if true done I just saw someone else say it

Expand full comment

Since not done*

One game samples are one game samples, but yeah, I've always marginally preferred the Sabonis between them.

What I really want is Turner's rim protection and three ball with Doma's everything else.

Expand full comment

Yeah defense is a bit of a question mark and he’s high usage. We already have Dray doing that

Expand full comment

Dray not even close to what Sabonis gives. Sabonis and Dray together. Powerhouse.

Wait till it's the playoffs and the Suns are hunting Sabonis every trip down like he's a non-shooting Bjelica.

Expand full comment

I really hope the Suns aren't playing Indiana in the playoffs..........

Won't matter with Draymond on the floor

Expand full comment

Disagree. We would be switching when the games get important, and you can't have that negative a player for that system. Having consistent breakdowns at the POA will lead any defense down, Draymond or not.

Expand full comment

Also he's way better than Bjelica, there's more to the game than shooting

Expand full comment

However, his inability to space the floor hurts and limits our offensive options (can we play him heavy minutes with Draymond against great defenses?).

And shooting is by far the most important connective element on offense (which is important considering he'd only be a connective piece with Steph here).

Expand full comment

Yeah obviously, I was just being facetious with that. But I still contend that he'd be a significantly negative player (like Bjelica) in the playoffs.

Expand full comment

Yeah, but we’d have to trade our young (future dynasty) to get him, why do that?

Expand full comment

Loon for Player of the Game. We don't win without his D, offensive rebounds and points.

Expand full comment

Make it rain in the garden splash king!

Expand full comment

Loon massively outplaying Myles Turner is my favorite thing about this game (that, plus the W).

Expand full comment

Ha ha. He might play like he’s stepping on legos in the dark, but he was big this game.

Expand full comment

Absolutely

An ugly win in Indiana.. it makes sense. I'll take it every time

Expand full comment

Literally the exact same thing happened last season lol, although they called it "gritty" instead of "ugly"

Expand full comment

Yup

Expand full comment

We win!

Expand full comment

Thank God the game is on TNT tomorrow it I wouldn’t be allowed to watch it

Expand full comment

Any "Midwest" game on NBA tv is blacked out for me in Iowa - Indiana, Chicago, Minnesota and all the way to Denver. I can watch Pacers & Bulls and I believe Denver on their local stations. Missing TWolves games are not a big deal. LOL

Expand full comment

Denver residents can't watch the Nuggets on their local stations the last year+

Expand full comment

MSG, lots of swag tomorrow, yo

Expand full comment

I heard all the Kardashians will be courtside

Expand full comment

Maybe a Chef bad pass will take one out

Expand full comment

God I hate those people

Expand full comment

Looney been hearing the trade chatter? Played great including that crazy rebound and put-back with no hesitation. Can't remember the last time he hit a layup without a pump fake.

Expand full comment

The hype tomorrow is going to be insane. Knicks fans are crazy too this is going to be fun
