Any thoughts on Moody’s play? If he’s going to be buried in the bench even while we have lots of peeps out on H&S, does it make sense to split the kids up and send Moses to SC?
Do we expect Curry to throw 4 half court heaves a game? What is Kerr thinking? Don't we want Curry for the playoffs? Has Kerr never heard of Heave Management? We know Kerr learned from the best coaches and his running mate at Arizona, Tom Tolbert, was certainly one of the architects of Heave Management. Kerr needs to reduce Curry's heave load, get Poole to heave some, and Belly, that dude looks like he can heave with the best of them.
Steph was not en fuego by any means last night from three, but some of the teeth gnashing is overdone in my opinion. He was 4 of 11 from three (NBA stats count 55 foot heaves as a shot attempt but surely we're smarter than that?) so 37%, but a single make on several close misses and he would have been 5 of 11 or 45%. Obviously he's on a bit of a cold streak here (for Steph) but I don't think he's that far off from being more his normal self. Just my two cents.
I only watched the first 6 minutes, a lot going on but wanted to see Kuminga’s minutes. He looked either gassed or lazy by minute 4 or 5. Anybody else notice this? I didn’t watch him play the other night, but when your 19 and a rookie Draymond shouldn’t be running laps around you (recognizing Draymond has found another gear this season, but still). Some nice plays and the obvious athleticism, but looks like he needs to spend a bit more training time at full speed.
Kings should definitely have Haliburton be the playmaker and the one to initiate the offense instead of Fox. I hope they do that when Fox returns from the safety and protocol, but who knows what the Kings will do.
That’s two games with only two officials. The league should call up G-League refs and/or give teams an extra challenge if the sub-standard officiating is getting more likely to determine the outcome of the game
Update: No stitches on my thumb (yay), but they cleaned it out and it’s wrapped up and in a splint, and I have to take antibiotics and use antibiotic cream for a week. Apparently parrots can carry some avian stuff like chlyamdia that you don’t want injected in your body and this was a fairly deep puncture. I was debating even getting it checked, but glad I did.
(For those going “huh?”, I had a parrot chomp my thumb at the animal sanctuary where I volunteer and posted from the hospital earlier.)

It’s weird that it’s been a while since Steph had a really strong shooting night. Back in mid-Nov and early Dec there were a bunch of 6-11, 7-13, 9-14 type games. But the last 6 in a row have been 35% and below.
Ofc the Dubs are 5-2 in that stretch (with one loss Steph didn’t play in). It’s pretty awesome that we just need him to be good, but not otherworldly, to win.
But - I am dying with anticipation for Steph’s next cosmic shooting night.

So......
What exactly does Chiozza do on offense, especially when he's on the floor with Iguodala and Dray?
Is he this year's Wanamaker? Well, doesn't play as much as Wanamaker did at least....
I missed this game. Can anyone give a recap of JK's minutes?
Iman Shumpert talking about the battles with the Dubs. I enjoyed the part about Klay specifically.

"Klay is willing to fight me, bro. Just to get off this screen." 😂
That was a fun 4th quarter! The next 5 games are going to be tough. Hopefully, we’ll have at least Poole or Wiggins.
