Ha! Post game party thread: turns out the Warriors have enough
Revenge game: thwarted
The Boston Celtics had a rare off night shooting, but maybe, juuuuust maybe, the Golden State Warriors had a bit to do with that. No Andrew Wiggins had everyone nervous, but man oh man… this Warriors core continues to remind everyone that “the avalanche can come at any time,” as Stephen Curry said right after the game.
I took some heat in the preview for predicting a win. And look, in some ways basketball is an incredibly complicated sport. But often times, it simply comes down to which team has the best players on the court.
Peep at Steve Kerr signaling for "Stack", which is NBA terminology for a Spain PnR. Klay sets the backscreen, Steph pulls up in the mid-range.
(Also, Warriors incorporating more Spain PnR lately 👀)
I’ve got to clean up dinner and head out to a mosh pit.
But let’s all remember to keep putting an appropriate level of respect on this Warriors core.

My favorite plays of last night were the two offensive garbage time plays:
1. Kuminga gets the ball with Hauser defending him, a clear athletic mismatch. He recognizes this and starts trying to get his teammates in positions so he can draw in the defense and set somebody up. Nobody knows where to go, so Kuminga just says “f it” and gets to the rim easily.
2. Kuminga again finds himself isolated in Hauser, drives across the lane to draw the defense, clearly not actually trying to score, and passes out, then everybody on the team tries the same thing: drive and kick to set somebody up because everybody wanted to help somebody else get a shot up… until Moody gets left holding the bag.
