Since it's still the game thread: just give me Steph, Dray, Loon, GP2 and the four kids next season. Trade all the others for a zen light thingie.

Wow -- no Klay, no Wiggs. I can see the logic, but dang...

I can't see the Dubs getting rid of Klay before seeing what he has left next season but I can see them dealing Wiggs. Andre will retire, OPJ probably will be too expensive. DLee and JTA are end of bench guys, they're here to fill in. Bjeli will be UFA and hasn't earned another season here.

Imagine being a Kings fan and feeling like this all season

Expand full comment

if by that you mean you become numb to the losses because you've lost hope, then i'm slowly getting there. :-(

No, it's not the same at all because kings fans dont have expectations like we do, if you expect to be disappointed....

Question: what happens if Warriors triple team Lebron?

Expand full comment

He finds the unguarded guy under the basket for a layup or some nameless teammate for a wide open 3 in the corner.

Cannot take chances out of desperation, like Twolves (?)coach?

Heading towards a 7 game losing streak and so to 5th seed.

Suns in 2nd round is not such a bad idea. Hit them while you are fresh

it's seriously hard to imagine getting to the 2nd round right now

And the warriors are just as awful lately

And the Lakers are AWFUL

Now THAT I'll co-sign, lol.

Yeah honestly I would have felt a little better if the Lakers played their A++ game but they were trying to throw it away just as much as we did....

at least it took lebron's best game of the season

Utah’s next 5 games are 4/5 to non-playoff teams. Warriors will be 4 seed soon.

How the F can one player (Dray) be such a difference?

I can't find the post where I said the Ws wouldn't lose this one, but I'll just acknowledge here that I was wrong. We sucked when it counted.

Wiggins and klay didn’t do much for this game. I swear, Wiggins keeps annoying me more and more as each game comes. He’s just playing passively.

Expand full comment

I hate that when he's struggling he goes back to his weakass midrange game

Expand full comment

Moody should have played that last quarter

Expand full comment

I definitely don’t see a long term place for Wiggins on this team

It sounds crazy, but free throws are the swing skill for me. I can live with the sub-mediocre passing and rebounding to get the versatile D, athleticism, durability, and solid spot-up shooting. Bricking at the stripe is the tiebreaker for me.

No deal for me on a big extension, unless we're talking a super-sweet $15M type deal.

We have no accountability on this team without draymond

Expand full comment

That says too much about Kerr

Expand full comment

Kerr is a players coach, curry and klay are not vocal leaders, wiggins is soft, every one else is new or young, we miss David west, iggy, Livingston, veteran vocal leadership to hold people accountable, klay should not be able to play this way without someone holding him accountable, poole shouldnt be able to take that horrible 3 without someone in his ear about it

This game was all about guts

Find some new material.

I was hoping for ice cream of joy. But I get ice cream of sadness. sigh.....

If this dont light a fire then we are soft as hell

Expand full comment

A fire should have been lit after that embarrassing loss to Dallas at home lol

Expand full comment

Nah losing to the lakers and giving up 57 to a 62 year old is much much worse
