As for Klay, dude's averaging 6.3 assists per 100 possessions (previous career high was 4.4 back in 2014-15). Additionally, he's averaging 7.2 rebounds per 100 (previous career high is 5.5 in 2015-16), although that's probably a function of playing much more as the SF/PF in smaller lineups.

He came back a more complete player lol (at least offensively).

+9 in 39 Steph minutes, -11 in 9 non-Steph minutes. Rough.

Any idea why GP2 played only 9 minutes? I understand we were small as is, but GP2's one of the best rebounders on our team lol.

"But that’s what the front office signed up for this summer when it decided to rearrange the roster with basketball IQ, skill and floor spacing in mind. The Warriors discussed other bigs and went after a few, like Isaiah Hartenstein, with more interior presence. But Hartenstein chose the Clippers, and the Warriors signed Bjelica, who provides more spacing and passing than they have had at that spot in recent seasons."

Can't have been any significant interest from the Warriors, because Hartenstein didn't sign onto the Clippers until late-September.

Kuminga is improving by leaps and bounds.

Literally and figuratively.

Finally watched the entire ASG draft... hilarious. KD keeping a straight face but letting that one smile slip had me dying...

Does anyone know why Loon was out in the clutch.?

We need to load manage all the players, not only the vets. If the players are gassed, they cannot raise the D intensity for a whole quarter.

I still disbelief the layup Curry missed in the clutch. Beside the fact that if a butterfly flapped it’s wing in Brazil that layup would have gone in, I believe that’s a 99,99999% shot for him

I know that by the end of the season, the record will matter but which games were wins and which were losses won't generally matter as much. But I really hate it when the Ws lose to an inferior team, and I doubly hate it when they lose at home.

They've got a couple of days until the Lakers show up and no travel. Hopefully, they come in a feeling refresh and stone LeBron for old times' sake.

A decent effort from the lads down the stretch, but the shooting efficiency early in the game and getting dominated on the boards really kicked us in the proverbial. Kumingas effort was great and hes growing his game really nicely. And thank you Steve for showing the guys you care and getting a tech! That was the most noticeable improvement from last night.

In Jan’19 Klay had 40 pts vs knicks on 4 dribbles. On that last play he had 0 pts vs knicks on 6 dribbles. Oops!

Warriors have been getting outrebounded recently. With the way they have been playing, I fear that the Lakers will use their size to outrebound the Warriors this Saturday.
