Sadly, it is as bad as I thought. IF Steph is out for 6 weeks, the season is on the line. Kerr is spot-on. I would start with LOONS, DRAY, WIGGS, KLAY AND, YES, POOLE IN STEPH'S SLOT. I would want my BEST PERIMETER/SPACING AND PENETRATION FIREPOWER TO START; would rotate Green and Poole TOGETHER as Green will HELP POOLE/KEEP HIM pointed as Green is a point-forward and a steadying, playmaking cog. I would rotate JW AND JMG with either Green and/or Loons -Loons methinks is best PLAYING with JW- depending on OPPONENT INTERIOR, AND LAMB/JK/DDV/TY FOR KLAY/WIGGS/POOLE. STAGGER ROTATIONS, MIX IT UP, AS NEEDED IN GAME AND PERFORMANCE. QED.
It feels like this team goes into “run out the clock” mode with a lead toward the end, and just completely switches gears to slowing it down. Have to just play, imo…
Steve Kerr said the Warriors are done starting small and are committed to the bigger lineup with Draymond/Looney: "I'm going back to it...Came to the conclusion that our best bet is to start with the bigger lineup. We know that five-man unit is the #1 or #2 lineup in the NBA."
Pooles confidence is all kinds of shook. And no chucking a couple of heatchecks does t mean hes fully confident in his shot right now. I hate to be silver lining in this type of guy but these next few weeks are going to be telling how Poole does as the spearhead in this offense.
I didn’t get to see this game. Sounds like 2+ quarters of decent play, followed by a Steph injury and then a chokeathon of a 4th quarter. Second time in 3 games we cough up a lead by scoring just 17 points in the 4th? I’m not deeply sad I missed that.
My DNHQ bona fides say keep the faith. Keep on trucking. Keep on keepin’ on. 3rd star on the left, clap your hands, clench your sphincter and fly onwards to the playoffs. Steph will be fine, maybe miss a couple of weeks and return after the ASG. We got this.

do the mavericks even had any wing defenders left?
Damn some rough warriors news to start the day
Sigh
Update from Shams and slater:
Golden State’s Stephen Curry is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left leg injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
This is expected to knock him out for All-Star weekend. The Warriors are still trying to determine severity and exact amount of weeks Curry will miss.
It might have been pointed out and I missed it, but 0 rebounds for Wiggs last night in 29 minutes?? Bless him.
Been a weakness since Livingston left. No back up PG to settle the team down and take care of the ball

Fucking around, finding out: your 2022-23 Golden State Warriors!

“We go away from what was working,” Draymond said, explaining the Warriors’ late game offense struggles.

Kerr: "I'm thrilled with the win, but disappointed in how we closed the game. We have to get better."

JaMychal Green on some of his struggles this season: “Feel like I just got in my own way. Overthinking.”
He added that now he's playing more "free."

If Curry misses the rest of the games till the ASB, here's how I will predict the Warriors will do in the next several games:
vs. Thunder- Loss
@ Blazers- Loss
vs. Lakers- Loss
vs. Wizards- Win
@ Clippers- Loss
All four of the losses will be due to the Warriors not closing out the game properly in the 4th quarter or them doing poorly in the 2nd half overall.

What was the Warriors record the last time Stephen Curry was out several games with an injury?
