Love this article Daniel,( especially the Mac Dre and hyphy bits - reminded me of when turfin was everywhere you went in the east bay at least) - this is my favorite vid from that time period https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRRnAhmB58), sorry off topic per the usual from me 😃
I love Loon, I feel he has been a solid player for us both with his physical play and his high IQ. I hope he stays around for a while. That said his physical limitations have been noticeable. While I love the series of pump fakes and creativity around the basket, a lot of easy assists are lost when he physically can’t finish. Just seeing the clip above where he flies out and blocks the defender from the Houston series shows how much he has dropped off. But all that said he has been great as of late. Keep it up big fella, because we literally have no one else...
So nice to focus on the good stuff despite the rough run from the team. And Loon has been more than good, he’s been great.
But speaking of the not so good stuff, there seems to be some discussion regarding the warriors offense and it becoming too predictable/too heavily scouted. Are we buying this or is this an over reaction to a very understandable slide due injuries/absences etc.?
This offseason is going to be really interesting for Looney. The team wants to keep him, I'm assuming he wants to stay, he's only 25 (which blows my mind... feels like he's been around forever), but he's playing the best basketball of his career right now and the Warriors have such a high salary to begin with.
How much will Looney get offered elsewhere? How much is the FO willing to pay for him (Bird Rights makes anything possible)? With Wiseman likely the starter at the center position in the near future would Looney prefer to go elsewhere for potentially a larger role?
Very interesting player. In this day and age, I think he stays here on a similar deal to what he's currently on (probably a slight raise) but I could be very wrong about that.
Loon is on his way to being the Udonis Haslem of the Warriors...I hope.

Aaron Rodgers should have shot more three pointers. Some people will never learn.
Wow. So Defense and special teams can win you game and send to NFC game.
We have #1 DefRtg. So it would reason that we going to WCF atleast - right?
I drink your tears, Aaron Rodgers!
So freaking happy Aaron Rodgers lost ma

Can someone remind me of Looney’s journey from HS to wounded warrior to now? I seem only to remember how hobbled he was so much of the time.

Strange to think that Looney's just 25. Hope some of the improvement we're seeing is coaching. The other part is undoubtedly being healthy.
