I’d like to see an E1P on GP2 from this game or a similar one. Or compare yesterday’s GP2 with same dude from earlier in the season. My rough impression is that his game has, if anything, elevated.

- Still has the motor to press full court and disrupt opponent inbound setups.

- Harasses dribbling like nobody else in the game (maybe Thybulle comes close?)

- Guys seem to literally be afraid to keep the ball when he’s guarding them.

- Covers, out-muscles and boxes out guys much bigger than him

- Rebounds like a big

- Passes bullets (is this something new relative to earlier in the year).

- Can slash, shoot and occasionally drop a 3 from the corner.

- Great positive attitude.

One huge change I noticed last night is that he didn’t try to dunk even when he had easy ones, instead taking the little layup. I wonder if this is a coach directive to help him avoid injury. Those huge high flying dunks definitely stress the joints and risk terrible mid air collisions.

Stay healthy young glove! In so many ways the most intriguing player on the Dubs.

Looks like Kyrie wins. Got to play half the games, make all the money, and be fresh and rested for the playoffs.

Proud of my Dubs! The team is crazy, most of their best wins ( to me at least) this season, have been when they were shorthanded. This one, Spurs in San Antonio, Suns on Christmas, first match up in Utah, Bucks at home. Probably missing some, because this season has felt 5 years long.

Steve has 9 games to get them ready for the play offs and have some (hard) conversations about pecking order.

Anybody got statistics on end of quarter play? I can't get out of my head that the Warriors screw up 2-for-1, and give up late buckets.

Go figure...there is hope...

Completely unrelated to the Warriors unless they are really horrible next season but what the fuck did I just watch, is this kid real?

Is this the part where Eric says he loves us all or did that already happen in the game thread

> The Warriors have run 250 pick-and-roll possessions with Poole as the ballhandler this season, per NBA.com. They’ve scored 252 points on them. That output, 1.01 points per possession, is 12th best in the league, just behind Durant, Curry, DeMar DeRozan and Tyrese Maxey and just ahead of Devin Booker and Chris Paul.

Lakers currently in 9th place in the West, 1/2 game ahead of NOP and only 2 games ahead of SA. Their finishing schedule is brutal: @NO, @Dal, @Utah, vs. NO, vs DEN, @PHX, @GS, vs. OKC, and @DEN. There's a decent chance they may go 3-6, 2-9, or worse.

Spurs, on the other hand, have three games they should easily win (@HOU, vs. Portland, vs. Portland again) so if they can win those three and pull off a couple of upsets, they could finish #10 and knock the Lakers out of the play-in. Spurs split the season series with the Lakers 2-2 and have a much better conference record, so they hold the tiebreaker.

But maybe LBJ can win the scoring title.....

Just watched the highlights and still don't know what team we're going to see the next game. We're either going to lose by 30 or win by 30. No other possible scenario.

All year we’ve talked about the stellar depth on this team and tonight they showed up, showed it, and showed off. Bjelica, Lee and Kuminga have disappeared from the rotation for long stretches of the season. And tonight? Hell yea. That was fun.
