Also in Europe (waves to AJ) but for some reason instead of dreaming about the Dubs I confusingly went to a dream Pretenders concert. Hidden message - this was commentary about the Rockets. Very good regular season, playoff pretenders. Yea, that’s it 😂.
85 points by the Rockets is very low - 30 points below their season average! As much as we can give credit to the Warriors’ defense, they clearly had playoff jitters. So I’m worried about that. The Warriors are going to have to score more points too to continue to win. Very possible.
Otherwise it was the Steph and Jimmy show. No surprise there! Keep it up guys!
I'm currently in Europe, so will be watching next day early morning on replays (after a night full of Warriors-related stress dreams). Wish I could be in the game threads with you all, but you know, traveling in Europe takes priority.
- If the Warriors can keep this a half court battle, they should win. Yes, there will probably be games where the Rockets shoot better and possibly win, but you take your chances with these guys - Green - 35.4%, Jabari - 35.4%, FVV - 34.5%, Eason - 34.2%. Those 4 were 3-22, mostly contested, but they will hit more. Just don't leave Brooks (can't believe he's their best shooter).
- On the other hand, non-Steph Warriors were 7-23, and you have to expect them to be better than that on average. And I feel like they got a lot of good looks on those 23.
- The Rockets getting 20+ offensive rebounds is essentially their path to victory. It got them back in this game. Looney was no help. He's got to be better against those double big lineups. Post I expect to get crushed on D and the boards. But his shooting is the x-factor bc if he hits a couple of 3s, the Rockets can't play Adams/Sengun together.
- Steph was amazing but can't expect miracle 3s in every game. Was huge to get the win here to take advantage.
-Man, if JK could just play like GP2 (and he absolutely could), he'd be huge in this series just for the height advantage. Also, just look at Amen Thompson - JK is nearly that athletic and is a better shooter and dribbler. He could be an incredible player if he played like Amen - focus on D, offensive rebounding, limited ISO, run the floor. The issue is JK wants to be a lead scorer. If/when he figures out that he's a supercharged role player, his career will take off.
>>> On the other hand, non-Steph Warriors were 7-23, and you have to expect them to be better than that on average. And I feel like they got a lot of good looks on those 23.
The non-Steph lineup totally turned it around in the first half. IIRC, they were down 3 when Steph left to up 10.
JK would have learned all that and more by now if he was capable and/or willing. It’s frustrating, but seems we have to accept that he is - at least in the GS universe - exactly what he’s shown he is. The physical gifts are a smoke screen if the possessor is unable to maximize them.
The list of “If only JK could play like that” guys in the NBA is frustratingly long. Still, I agree with those downstream suggesting Game 2 might be a good moment to give him some run.
Just wanna post some thoughts.... sorry if I'm repeating anybody.
• Stephen Curry is amazing. He made four insane shots from three today, and a couple of impossible layups too. He “only” scored 31 points, but that would probably have been the career game for 95% of the people who ever played in the NBA. And in a couple years, we’re probably not even going to remember it without a few reminders. “Remember game 1 of round 1 in 2025?” “Um, no.”
• Jimmy Butler has now played three games as “Playoff Jimmy,” taking over by himself for many plays in the game. He was even pretty deadly from deep. He completely deked the refs to get a second foul on Sengun early, who barely had his hand on his waist but Jimmy acted knocked over. I am normally not a fan of faking it, but considering how often the Warriors get hacked in these physical games with Houston, I’m going to consider it a bit of ironic justice.
• Draymond and Jimmy together are an amazing defensive force. They are such tremendous help defenders with great vision and intuition that they gum up the works for the other team. The battle against Sengun is a big plotline in this series, and he got a lot of what he wanted. He tried to take over the game, and at a critical time near the end, Dray was defending him and he did not see Jimmy coming for a clean steal.
• Podz just plays winning ball, 17/8/5 that was pretty quiet except for three threes and an amazing job near the end where he skied for a tip-in attempt between two much taller Rockets and ended up bouncing the ball off the glass for a backboard pass to Jimmy for an easy layup. Most people would not even attempt that. And he not only took a charge (patent pending), but got a block called on Thompson who wanted a charge call. Thompson wanted Udoka to challenge it, and Podz spun his finger like “Yeah, please do.” He was right and the Rockets lost a late challenge they could have used on an incorrect possession call later.
• Moody was pretty quiet on offense… until late when he took two threes that needed to be made and he splashed both. He and Podz are really growing into their starting roles.
• Post did not have a good game… no buckets in 12 minutes and only one rebound. I wouldn’t mention it but I did want to point out that he doesn’t seem to realize Sengun can only go right when facing the basket. Draymond won’t let him go that way… he needs to teach Post.
Epic moment late game, Moody misses a three, looks like a Houston rebound, broken play as Podz races in for a leaping tap to put it back but misses, Draymond gets that rebound and puts it back. WE DON'T NEED YOU STEPH AND JIMMY.
I thought that Eason block on Butler was one of the most impressive athletic feats I've seen in a while. Huge hustle, incredibly quick jump, perfect quick timing. Other than that he was mediocre but man.
Didn’t notice during the game but Post got Podz that wide open three he nailed in transition by running the floor really hard and drawing the defender who uncovered Podz. Great hustle!
I hope that was great experience for Post. He seemed to be really excited and to be working hard. Now the jitters are worked out and he can relax and shoot with his usual form.
He has shown to have a reliable shot, might try to scheme him a shot or two early to establish him early. But it looked like they were covering him at the line.
As a by the way, imagine if the Warriors had taken Sengun instead of Kuminga in the 2021 draft. I think a lot of the people here were arguing for him (or Wagner).
I would have liked Wagner in 2021, I was concerned that Sengun wasn’t gonna be good at defense. With that being said, I was pushing hard for Jalen Johnson.
That looked like an idiotic decision for a while but thankfully Johnson has been looking better lately.
I was not a fan of Moody at 14. I preferred Trey Murphy/Cam Thomas/Ayo Dosunmu. Moody is def better than Ayo and by next year might be better than Murphy/Thomas.
Sengun is a tough fit with Draymond, but yeah. He's still so young and gonna get better. The real thing to imagine is what if OKC had just kept him....
I like the part towards the end of the interview where Fitz asks, "You've played with him 13 years now—What did you think of those threes Steph made tonight?" and the look on Draymond's face says it all. No matter how many times you see it, it's still insane.
Winning the turnover battle was huge. Only 11 TOs tonight. If they are a little less transition hungry and play deliberate offense I don't think this team can lose against an opponent with such an anemic offense.
*Steph Curry hit 5 3Ps today: a normal 3P after a steal in semi-transition, a 30 foot catch-and-shoot from the logo, a geometrically impossible fade with the shot clock winding down, another step back fading heave as the shot clock expired from the top of the key, and a running forward, leaning 30 footer as the shot clock expired. A) the dude is fucking incredible, entertaining, and my favorite basketball player of all time, but B) probably not going to hit shots like that every game. Probably. I thought the key was the 3 lay-upsin Q1. He got a rhythm early and that's the key.
*Butler might have been better than Steph. 5 steals! He does that spring a double from the blindside steal about 3 times a game and it works 80% of the time. He had another one taken away when Steph was called for the foul on Brooks. 7 rebounds! Adams big boyed him once or twice, but JB was fighting for and getting some huge ones.
*Sengun was really good. There was a lot of crossmatching Podz on him and Podz held up....OK. Felt like he was cooking anyone not named Draymond. And occassionally cooking someone named Draymond. The Dubs played him off the court earlier this season, but I don't see that happening again.
*Speaking of Podz, he made a lot of mistakes in this game. But he also did a lot of little things. He'd make a lazy pass, but then take a charge. Take the ball nowhere, but then get a huge rebound. Miss a wide open 3P, but it was the right process. Had the highest +/- on the team, and get this, led the team in rebounding. He also had some great boxouts (including on those Sengun crossmatches).
*Moody was...fine. Still using his length on defense, hit a couple huge shots. I wish he would hit the boards more and hit a few more shots, but I don't think it was as awful as some were saying in the GT.
*Felt like GPII was playing well, but he also was part of the problem when Houston went big. Any lineup with GP is going to naturally be small as their PF/C is 6'3.
*I thought Buddy was legitimately pretty good. He had about 4 hustle plays that somehow went the wrong way at the last second, but I thought all were good process. He missed his 3Ps, but they were good looks except for a grenade. Basically, a couple better bounces and he would have popped off the screen in a good way.
*Post struggled with the boards. He fought on defense and had some open looks but didn't get the pass. I think he'll have a moment in this series. But I'm not sure he's ready to fight with Adams.
*Finally, even as JK non-believer, I think the time to play him is next game. When Steph is on the floor (and probably Butler off) and the Rockets try going big, tell JK to come in and his sole job is to be a finisher on the 4-3 Steph creates on offense and to box out and rebound on defense. Game 2 is no longer the be-all-and-end-all, so see if he can contribute in spurts.
Steph also missed some clean open ones too… he gets a lot of tough shots, and hits 3s overall at over 40%. He’s good. My favorite was the last 30 footer, because I got to see Amen “latest Curry stopper” Thompson do that familiar shoulder slump and hand raise in the “I did everything right, and it didn’t matter” pose of those Curry stoppers that came before him.
> *Sengun was really good. There was a lot of crossmatching Podz on him and Podz held up....OK. Felt like he was cooking anyone not named Draymond. And occassionally cooking someone named Draymond. The Dubs played him off the court earlier this season, but I don't see that happening again.
They Jokic Defense'd him to a degree, did well attacking single coverage but had 1 assist to 5 turnovers and you aren't beating the Warriors playing like that.
EDIT: Agreed about Kuminga, I think they should play him to bust the blitz on Curry. Although I also think they could have ran more Curry/GP2 pick and roll to do the same.
I want to believe more in Hield as you seem to, I think we've discussed it before. But 2 points on 1-4 shooting in 15 minutes from a supposed sharpshooter is almost Fred VanVleet level crapitude. And it feels like it's been that way for a number of games now. He tries on defense but to justify being out there he really needs to bring some offense. He brings gravity, which is helpful, that's true. I'd rather see more of any of Moody, GPII, Gui, Kuminga than Hield out there missing.
Agree that GP is quite the risk when they are putting Adams and Sengun and Amen or Jabari out there. GP can sure jump but those guys are going to get the rebound on a small guy like that and bully him.
By the way, I hope Houston doesn't notice that Jabari was really good and should play more than 25 minutes. 3-3, 11 points, 6 rebounds in 25 minutes. Shhhhh
"But 2 points on 1-4 shooting in 15 minutes from a supposed sharpshooter is almost Fred VanVleet level crapitude."
Better to not shoot than to shoot and miss a ton. And 1 of those 4 Buddy shots was a grenade that Buddy had to redirect towards the hoop rather than even shoot. Sure, Buddy's better when he's making 5 3Ps, but as a guy who the defense has to worry about? He's got value. And if he can add one 20 pt game every series where he's hot? That could be championship-level value.
And yes, Jabari at the 5 is scary. It's what got them back in the game in that crazy 20 point comeback in the regular season.
That Steph 34fter to make it a 7 point game with 5 minutes left was more ridiculous than the corner heave. There’s nobody in this league that’s taking that shot at that point in the game let alone making it. That’s the game breaker type of shot making that makes teams quit
What got me on the corner one was that he was so focused on controlling the dribble against the defender and not going out of bounds as he headed to the corner that it seemed like he didn't even look at the basket until the ball was halfway there.
Also in Europe (waves to AJ) but for some reason instead of dreaming about the Dubs I confusingly went to a dream Pretenders concert. Hidden message - this was commentary about the Rockets. Very good regular season, playoff pretenders. Yea, that’s it 😂.

I have hope jk will figure things out eventually, just not on the Warriors

Wasn’t it Draymond who cleaned up Podz’ tip in attempt?
Jimmy butlers game = iggy + Livingston but in one player.
He is actually perfect for our system
Neither one of those guys could really score at a high level, though. Throw in a dash of KD?
Damn S2 E2 TLOU
I owe you an apology. I wasn’t really familiar with your game.
It’s a bit different from the game in part of the episode; no spoiler tags here so I won’t elaborate. The game is just as brutal though.
Steph’s fallaway heave gave me Golden Dagger feels.
Epic moment late game, Moody misses a three, looks like a Houston rebound, broken play as Podz races in for a leaping tap to put it back but misses, Draymond gets that rebound and puts it back. WE DON'T NEED YOU STEPH AND JIMMY.
NBA top 10 just posted, #7 is Butler getting blocked, #6 is Steph’s “geometry” shot, Sengun #1 for his early-game dunk over Draymond.
I have to admit that Sengun dunk was pretty amazing. It’s a rare thing that Dray gets posterized that badly.
He's getting old and sengun is big and long and young, little surprised by his jumping ability - didn't think he had that in him.
But looking at how tjd doesn't seem super athletic but was able to dunk on wemby seemed similar
I thought that Eason block on Butler was one of the most impressive athletic feats I've seen in a while. Huge hustle, incredibly quick jump, perfect quick timing. Other than that he was mediocre but man.
Feeling very content right now.
Didn’t notice during the game but Post got Podz that wide open three he nailed in transition by running the floor really hard and drawing the defender who uncovered Podz. Great hustle!
I hope that was great experience for Post. He seemed to be really excited and to be working hard. Now the jitters are worked out and he can relax and shoot with his usual form.
QP is going to have his hands full with Steven Adams. There are 7 footers. And there are 7 FOOTERS. Steven Adams is the latter.
But if Post can hit some shots, it will help neutralize things a bit. Frankly, he needs to or he won’t be playable this series.
Adams is 6-11 lol. But he is built like a Mack truck.
He has shown to have a reliable shot, might try to scheme him a shot or two early to establish him early. But it looked like they were covering him at the line.

Jimmy mid range looked smooth tonight and his rim attacks were ineffective; I think he'll go to that more in the next few games.
Winning the turnover battle was huge. Only 11 TOs tonight. If they are a little less transition hungry and play deliberate offense I don't think this team can lose against an opponent with such an anemic offense.

Yeah I kind of feel like the corner one had a higher Steph Ridiculosity Score. Judges?
Ridiculosity Score - instant classic.
This vs. the double-bang shot in a Ridiculosity bracket, I actually go with this one. It was in the playoffs.
In a vacuum yes, but the other one was a much higher pressure shot.
What got me on the corner one was that he was so focused on controlling the dribble against the defender and not going out of bounds as he headed to the corner that it seemed like he didn't even look at the basket until the ball was halfway there.
In real time it looked like he just hucked it from his shoulder, but then you see the replay and he’s somehow squared up. The man is incredible.
The corner one wins in horse for sure but that logo one was pretty much the early night night
