Amount of time our Big 3 have played together since the 2019 Finals: two seconds. :,-(

Knew it was more serious than what the Warriors led on to believe for Draymond. Re evaluated in two weeks

*Edit: meant to say that once it got from day to day to he won’t be flying back at any point this road trip then I knew this was going to be a longer term issue. Again we can’t get all 3 players on the court at the same time and we’re more than halfway through the season. Saying all that wish him a full recovery

What happened to Djokovic is just politicians using their power to show off and get extra followers.

It has nothing to do with Covid or visa issues, they used him to try to make themselves look better.

Very sad how they treated a First Class Champion!

Moody didn’t play for the Sea Dubs last night. Is he in Minnie today to carry some minutes?

One silver lining of Steph, Draymond, and GP2 being out is that Kuminga will get more playing time. Curious to see if he can continue to show improvement every game. His effortless athleticism is mesmerizing.

Hopefully Wiggs goes off on the Wolves again. Curious to see how Klay responds to the increased workload and pressure.

This game is still winnable.

This is another good day to ask "Hey, who's up for a trade: Wiggins and Kuminga for DeAngelo Russell?"

I am concerned about overly optimistic recency bias on young Jonathan K. He destroyed Chicago but he's also been quite inconsistent on both ends of the floor much of the season. Minutes will help, but "you can't hurry love/you'll just have to wait..."

Edwards terrorized the Warriors last time for his best game of the season, he has a really difficult combo of strength and quickness to match. Would love for Kerr to see what Kuminga can do on him.

Warriors +160. Who wants make some money today?

Some guys who've been playing very well even during the team-wide slump as of late:

- Iguodala has been killing it both on defense and as a facilitator. Awesome passes, absolutely disruptive on the other end... felt like his presence nearly won us a couple that we didn't quite get and totally didn't deserve.

- Looney has been a rebounding machine, a one-man block party, and he's been scoring a little more than before as well. If this level of production continues when the core trio is healthy again, look out league.

It will be nice to get the Minny win and finish this road trip with more enthusiasm than doubts, that 3rd quarter against Memphis turns out to have been more critical to the “conversation” coming as it did in the middle of the season and before a blowout in Milwaukee, we let a classic Warriors 3rd quarter romp against a young team slip by without piling on enough points, seemed (to me) like a lack of urgency more than anything else

File under “the NBA is weird, part one zillion”…

Last year’s two Eastern Conference finalists (MIL and ATL) are currently a combined **44-43**.

Yeah, they’ve had a few absences, but no more so than the average team, with their cores from last season both substantially intact, and all in their young primes. The Bucks have also had the easiest schedule in the league to date. If you told me the two teams would be a combined 20 games over .500 to this point, I’d consider that mildly disappointing.

The Hawks are the bigger puzzler of the two, of course, as they have straight up sucked. 17-25?? That’s more puzzling to me than the LOLakers suckage, which to me was fairly predictable going into the season.
