A Warriors and Kings matchup in the 1st round would be insane for Northern California

Yeah, and I was going to say Dray might make this happen so he can sleep at home, but then I remembered his primary residence is in LA

Taurean Prince started in place of Anthony Edwards for the TWolves tonight & had himself a game.

12 of 13 shots - 8 of 8 on 3s + 3 of 4 FTs for 35 points.

This is why Warriors should trade Poole for Conley and Prince.

Not sure what good Conley does at this point.

The team gets up for big games. I predict a win against the Mavs.

This is with JMG seemingly better - he is still awful. Should not be playing.

I made a post about that today, in the five game streak without Steph he was playing 4 minutes first half when we got down over 10 then zero minutes in the second, in the last 8 games his minutes got bumped up to 15 and he's been a minus 21, it's ridiculous, it's not like he blocks shots or rebounds, kuminga should get all his minutes

I got yelled at by my wife today because I yelled at the tv when JMG dunked the ball from in the cylinder eliminating Poole’s chance at an and one. I don’t even know if they called that drive a shooting foul, but the basketball IQ that JMG shows sometimes is so far off the chart that you need spelunking equipment to find it.

Add that he’s back to not moving his feet on D again and you have one heck of a useful player… for the other team to make a run.

What gums my drops is that we never hear a reason for Kuminga to play less. Just give him starter minutes.

Expand full comment

Can't be defense, effort or turnovers since Poole gets to play next to curry

Expand full comment

And I continue to blame Kerr for this nonsense - even moody should be playing over him - he is just horrible again - after one good game at home, he ss back to being real bad

Expand full comment

Poole Klay/donte lamb kuminga green/looney

Poole moody/donte lamb kuminga green/looney

Both are fine second units without having to play curry and Poole together or jmg with Poole which bleeds us points EVERY SINGLE GAME

Expand full comment

Kerr even has the nerve to play him at the four next to looney it's wild

Expand full comment

I think he wants it both ways - play small and wants someone big - unfortunately this guy is just plain bad

Expand full comment

Jmg doesn't do shit big except an occasional o rebounds and dunk, he doesn't block shots, he's not a good rebounder and his defensive positioning and switching is dogshit, dude will be out the league next year

Expand full comment

yeah, one of the big mistakes this season was to get him!

Expand full comment

I thought it was a good pick up at the time tbh, I was super excited for a stretch five

For Captain Jack

Austin Rivers sucks.

I think it was Mike Smrek who used to call those "Trillions" Starting with minutes the stat line would be 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Odd year in the West. The 12th place Pelicans have a better point differential than the 5th place Clippers. 0.5 vs 0.2. Anything can happen.

Expand full comment

We got 26 points off their 17 TO's. Unfortunately, we gave 25 of those points back, as we had 18 turnovers. Hopefully, well take better care of the ball on Wednesday, as Dallas will bury us if we have that many....

Expand full comment

Let's go Kings. When Clippers go to Memphis in a week or so for two games, I want Grizz to be fighting for 2nd seed and kick Clippers to the curb in both games.

Expand full comment

Kings are eyeing that top spot hey why not

Expand full comment

This might be the only win ever where I still want the flashy thing for most of what I witnessed. I'll take the dub though

Rockets played with an 8-man rotation. They were treating tonight's game like it's a playoff game or something.

Expand full comment

Their 3 available players who didn't play were Kaminsky, Boban and TyTy Washington.

Expand full comment

Didn't TyTy play against the Warriors last month? I'm surprised Rockets didn't play him tonight.

Expand full comment

I was thinking he did too. Kaminsky - not sure how much he plays. Boban is on the team because he's a nice guy.

1 game road win streak started today. It will be 5 game road streak by the end of RS

Don't prove me wrong, Dubs!!

Good thing about last two games:

- GP2 back (probably even for Denver)

- In our backyard (bus ride to SAC and short flight to Portland).

Expand full comment

Wait what? GPII back? Is that official?

Expand full comment

No.. Just hoping he will be back in 2.5 weeks if not earlier

Expand full comment

He did resume on court activites today ...

Loonajuwon casually dropping double doubles while being hurt.. smh. Somebody help this man out please.

Expand full comment

8 offensive rebounds. You don't see that often.

Expand full comment

How the hell can Draymond say he has a hard time getting out of bed in March when he has an amazing protege in kuminga to be able to mentor everyday

Expand full comment

I have never seen him get attacked on defense like this.

Expand full comment

It's not getting talked about but when he's not locked in he's been shit

Expand full comment

I must say I admire that they weren't scared of him.

Expand full comment

If I had his money, I'd be wearing pajamas all day long.

Expand full comment

I don't have that kind of money but I'm basically in sweats all day long. . . .

Expand full comment

Not when you have passion for something as amazing as playing basketball

Expand full comment

Maybe I just have a passion for pajamas?

Expand full comment

I can confirm that you can play basketball in pajamas. So, you know, por que no los dos.

Kings are slowly making a comeback tonight against the Jazz right now.

Ty is such a great guy to have on the team. I hope he stays with us for a while
