Post-game thread: Always close enough to hurt
dubnationhq.com
Well, Steph came back in body but didn’t warm up until near the end of the game.
A bad shooting game let the short-handed Suns run off with the win. And true to the Warriors credo — ALWAYS MAKE IT CLOSE ENOUGH TO HURT — they had a furious comeback in the last 5 minutes once they remembered the intensity they need to win in the NBA and got it within two possessions a couple of times, but ran out of gas and time.
Keep in mind our winning window revolves around Dray, not Steph. We don't win without Dray and he's hard to replace. We've got a 2-3 year window for another chip assuming Dray's body holds up. Bring Bron on. Clear thinking on this. Its only about chips for Steph within Dray's window. Time isn't our friend considering the youth of the up and coming teams. Holding off Memphis gets harder and harder.
My guy Zach last night v the mighty Grizz:
22 minutes
14 pts
12 reb
4 ast
1 blk
+4 in a five-point loss
If we can grab him in the next 36 hours, we can get him on our side for tomorrow’s game, rather than having to face him. Logistics would be easy too — no need to fly him across the country to join us, since he’s already in place in SA.
Gitter done, Bob! In my twisted brain it’s being hashed out as we speak, with the only hang-up being that the Warriors are offering Wiseman + Rollins while the Spurs are haggling for Wiseman + Moody. 😊
