these guys in the nba have such amazing closeout speed and wingspan that it’s hard to out quick them without being crafty with your finish. JP has to be more clever at times. maybe a floater or be like steph and use your body instead of the underhand scoop.
can you imagine us with any other mehhh FA from last year instead of DDV this season? the value we got from his contract is criminal. minimum guys aren’t supposed to step in to be your starter and perform at a high level the whole year.
Poole seems to have lost all confidence in his long-range shooting; hesitates even when wide-open. Seems his driving ability is the only thing he still has confidence in...
Watched the game after reading all the Poole hate and expected something other than the game-long contributions I saw. I hope this young man does not have anyone in his life exposing him to this thread. Yikes.
So, after the OKC game, I said if we lost to the Grizzlies and then beat the Bucks, I'd still think we can win the championship... and yup. Just have to figure out how to get the defense on the road.
In 11 games, Kyrie Irving as a Maverick is scoring 27 points on 50-40-90 and has 6 assists a night. Yet the team is 3-8 during that time. I would think that one factor is that Dorian Finney-Smith was a key defender for the Mavs and was traded for Kyrie, who has never been a key defender. High risk gamble not looking that wise yet.
Steph Curry on Andrew Wiggins' absence: "Friend-to-friend, teammate-to-teammate, sending him support. Tough situation in terms of him being away for so long but necessary, life is bigger than basketball. Whenever he's ready to come back, I'm sure he will, that's how he's built in terms of being available and I know he's missing the vibe of being with us."
Report from Chase: Curry put the team in his back. Had the crowd in a frenzy with the late 3’s. Klay and Draymond came to win. Draymond coming back in after the ankle tweak was huge. Poole was in his own head. Kuminga was in great spirits on the sideline - a good sign. Was that shot for Dray at the end of regulation intentional?!? Wild.

Go Knicks… this time with feeling.
One thing I haven’t seen in the thread yet: MOSES PLAYED AND PLAYED OK!

Poole the heir-apparent for Steph...yea, right.

Kevon Looney is the first Warrior since Joe Smith in 1996 to record 15+ rebounds and 5+ steals in a single game.

somebody needs to check the stats but when dante scores in double digits on top of everything else he does i think our record is pretty damn good.

If DDV and JMike are gonna go 10-18 from three, in addition to Splash Bro biz as usual, who knows what's possible? DDV is so valuable.
Shout out to Donte who had a double double: 20 points and 10 rebounds!
