Yikes! Zero comments on GSoM.

Gonna rewatch "The Expanse" to forget this game. If you like hard space opera sci-fi, I will highly recommend it.

I just got through with Man in the High Castle so hitting The Expanse next

Season 1 or 4?

Well, thanks for hanging out everyone. Very good to get feedback on the comments features along the way. I heard desire for chronological ordering, find unread (the “new reply” loading is close to this feature), ability to include graphics

I was hoping for 20 but yeah, 30 sounds good

Guess not

Hmm, trying to figure out how this works. Is there a way to delineate between read and unread comments?

No, we put that on the wish list with the Substack engineering though...

Meanwhile,I have a suggestion. Make a meaningful comment that you will remember and then use that post as your bookmark 🔖

Feels like a good sign of something that Klay got all pumped up for a big Chriss jam in a 30 pt blowout

QUESE!

Very little ball movement. Has Poole taken any shot in second half?

I’m really really really disappointed that they don’t have Smiley for this game. Seems kind of predictable that UTA was going to clean their clocks

Expand full comment

Maybe they just don’t think that’s best for his development? Or..?

Expand full comment
author

Yes, I agree. Prob better for him to get starter minutes in GLeague than random temps de garbage NBA minutes. But I’m talking about for OUR entertainment!

Expand full comment

Has anyone tried the dunk harness?

Expand full comment

literally no one thinks there are no centers in the league anymore fitz

The premise of every Fitz comment is that everyone is a moron but him.

Even last year the Warriors had long stretches looking weak defending the kickouts 3, now we have worse defenders...and yikes...

Yeah even with steph AND klay back in the fold (toss in Andre as well I guess) they're going to need to figure out some sort of answer for the overall D

Warriors really can't defend that weak-side corner. Every time I see a sneaky hold/screen on the nearest weak-side defender, I always predict a skip pass to the weak side for an open corner 3.

Expand full comment
author

Dubs have been cheating this year with a lot of double teams and stunts, and UTA finding the open guy with laser accuracy, and then hitting the 3

Expand full comment

The weak side is the side that the play is NOT happening on?

Expand full comment
author

Yes, the side opposite of where the ball is (the strong side).

It’s been too many years of destroying the league so I’m out of practice: how soon can we start getting irrationally excited about the draft?

Expand full comment

Unfortunately this is the least anticipated draft in recent memory

Expand full comment

Listen, one thing I do remember: even in the most anticipated drafts, we always managed to pick right after the talent tier.

It's like we never left.

Just get DLo like 4 more assists and sit him for the rest of the night. Got his 20pts already.

Also, let Burks chuck it up

The officials are bored

Comeback should be starting anytime now... right??

Much more likely that Dray and Kerr get themselves T’d up and thrown out to get out of this mess

Lacob cosplaying an upper middle class person is something I don't give a fuck about

Lacob coping with this performance by spending time up at the Modelo Cantina lmao

I was in Pepsi Club when we went and it was pretty decent.

Expand full comment

Definitely a letdown game... time to put Burks out there with the deep bench and let him fire 30 shots and boost his trade value

Expand full comment

or completely tank it

Expand full comment

Can’t tank if you are honestly playing horribly! (Insert tapping head gif)

STFU Fitz. The Jazz beating up on this Warriors team does not suddenly make them championship contenders.

Our new partner coming through with critical game details!!!

Tbh I’m okay with being terrible, develop the young guys and groom them so we can have a solid bench for and core for next year when the reinforcements come back. Plus a young star with our draft pick. All I see if a light at the end of the tunnel

Expand full comment

Imagine paschal being the first guy off the bench, and I think he will be, and Poole becoming a better overall player. So many things to look up to

I haven’t felt this embarrassed to be a Warriors fan since Nick Van Exel was our best player and he hated the whole team

Someone mentione Damion Lee's recent shooting struggles, so I went ahead and looked at his numbers pre and post-contract signing.

SMALL SAMPLE SIZE ALERT

In 26 games this season as a two-way player: 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists on .407/.360/.877 shooting splits, including a TS% of .537.

In 3 games (again, SMALL SAMPLE SIZE) as a full-contract player: 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists on .375/.214/1.000 shooting splits, and a TS% of .485.

Expand full comment

gross. his pre signing shooting wasn't good enough for a guy who's supposed to be a shooter, but those post sign numbers are horrid. hope he can snap out of it soon

Expand full comment

His game is built so much on hustle. It kind of makes sense that less urgency might mean less impact, SSS caveat of course.

Expand full comment

Fitz explaining how he solved the latest iteration of basketball and the key is...trying hard when rebounding three pointers was really insightful. He should keep that stuff to himself, someone might pay a lot of money for him as a basketball consultant.

Warriors at half vs. UTA:

ORtg: 95.6

DRtg: 144.4

NetRtg: -48.8

eFG%: .393

TS% .455

Dubs shooting just 36.6 percent from the field, 25.0 percent from three-point range. Jazz defense had a lot to do with those numbers, but not having any elite shot makers is hurting the Dubs.

Q: What's the O/U on # of players in the top 10 of this year's draft who will be better Smailagic? I'd bet Smiley will be better than eight of them.

DLo's like four inches taller than both Mitchell and Conley, but doesn't really exploit his height and length as much as he should.

Alright i take it back. I'd rather get an ejoyable loss like Mondays than this crap where the team is being absolutely outhustled and are content with shooting a crapload of midrange shots
