Dang got distracted, logged on to see if anyone knows why the Warriors waived the Q’s and where they are going from here.

Bummed that GP2 is sidelined to start the season. I really hope things go well for him in Portland.

Klay would be the next Warrior candidate for therapy of some kind. He is emotionally retarded, not able to really express himself as a grown up. Where's Asher?

A thing I've been thinking about: if there were an expansion draft for 2 new teams held today, which 8 players would GS be best served to protect?

My answer: Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Looney, Poole, Wiseman, Moody, PBJ

In such a situation, we could lose up to two of Draymond, Kuminga, Iguodala, Rollins, DDV and JMG. I would be super sad to see Kuminga or Rollins go, but I think longterm the other youngsters may be more valuable.

So does this look right for the state of our roster:

Curry

Thompson

Wiggins

D Green

Looney

Poole

DiVincenzo

Moody

J Green

Wiseman

Kuminga

Iguodala

PBJ

Rollins

2-Way:

With Ty Jerome (PG), Anthony Lamb (PF), Jerome Robinson (SG) and Pat Spencer (G) all competing for those 2-ways?

New drinking game: Take a shot every time Draymond Green says "quite frankly"

Did the punch cost QW and or LQ a two-way? It's one thing to consider. They seem like they (Dubs) would enjoy having one more primary ball-handler on a two-way. What interests me is, have they now decided that one of the two-ways must be reserved for a big, just in case Draymond proceeded to fly off the rails? We shall see. But based on their actions last year, deciding one 6'9" center was all an NBA team needed, I doubted that they would add a big. But if they do now, safe to say you can draw a straight line from the punch to the two-way shake-up.

Tonight’s epic matchup: Spurs/Thunder pre-season game.

Yuck.

Oh my gosh, what happened? I’m sorry to have missed it, Dilly, and it sounds really, really hard. Dill is a trooper though and will stay strong for you and Molly.

If this was shared here, I missed it. Coach Nick’s (BBallBreakdown) How Steph Curry Broke the NBA is really good https://youtu.be/mFW3jJgjNcY

His argument is that Steph changed the way the game is played more than any other player, ever. He takes a really interesting trip through Steph’s evolution and goes through numbers (Steph and the league) of how shot selection has changed so much. I was honestly surprised how much Steph’s game as changed, like how many long 2’s and mid-ranges he took early on and how it was until 2015-16 that he really started launching from way down town.

Listening to Nick fawn over Steph is always fun, but this was also informative

I saw QW coming, but I thought they liked LQ. But maybe LQ sticks with Santa Cruz.

Dill Update - Thursday, 10/13/22

After seeing the extent of skin loss on Dill's legs Sunday afternoon, I was able to get him to the vet Tuesday morning affter calling & sending pictures Monday. He put on a sugar/iodine solution and wrapped the affected areas. We decided it would be easier to leave him there so the wraps can be changed every 3-4 days.

I called this morning to see how Dill was doing. "He doesn't like it here very much and he's not eating or drinking." Not good.

So, I took down the food he likes. He hissed at the vet when he opened his door. I let him sniff my hand and petted his head a bit and then gave him food. He started eating immediately & in just a few minutes he ate more than he had at one time here at home. I told him he needs to drink water too. After he had eaten for a few minutes, he started purring, which I took as a very good sign. I also told him Molly [my kitten] has been worried about him.

I had a longer chat with the vet. Dill won't be there for just a couple of weeks - but a couple of months, at least, before he's healed. It's going to be a long road for him. But he looks the best that he has to me since the injuries occurred.

Just heard Draymonds interview. also had heard the big Bill Simmons western conference preview podcast where they surmised that Draymond would probably not be with the Dubs come the trade deadline. Dismissed it but as I hear Draymond this dude gone gone. He’s checked out today. I do believe he’s a professional and he’ll carry himself as such but I don’t think whatever was irking him enough to lash out at Poole has gone away. Like I vowed just gonna have to focus strictly on his in game play this year barring any other shenanigans

If tomorrow is supposed to be more of a dress rehearsal, we'll get the first look at the rotation pattern. It's, obviously, quite intriguing to speculate how Kerr's going to handle it. I'm assuming the targets are something like:

Steph/Dray/Klay/Wiggs/Poole - 30mpg

Loon/Wise/JK/MM/DDV/JMG - 15mpg

That's 240mpg right there... without any minutes for Andre, PBJ, RR, and really not many minutes for the non-Poole subs. Gonna have to count on Steph, Dray, and Klay taking a bunch of nights off to make room for others to get more minutes.
