Kelenna: "They're taking advantage of their time on the floor" ... except Nico and Smiley who can't seem to do anything but crap the bed against the scrubs of the worst team in the league.
I was about to say the same thing. I can't for the life of me figure out what Nico and Smiley accomplish when they're out there, outside of running in circles and burning calories.
Warriors paid two second round picks for Alen Smailagic. The Celtics paid two second round picks for Evan Fournier (yes I know it was because of the trade exception but it sounds more embarrassing the way I framed it).
Yeah, with the mild positive of the #9 seed that we'd get to open the play-ins at home against the scrubby Spurs or Pels, whereas at #8 we'd have to start on the road against LAL, POR, or DAL. But yeah, it's way better to only have to win one game than to have to win two.
Defense can be learned/developed (Wiggins). He’s a pure rookie, he needs some more g league time and didn’t get it this year because of the depleted roster.
Yes. Plus, developing guys who have backup PG potential at best is not really an efficient use of your resources considering that those guys are basically available whenever you want them.
Is it just me or does Mulder make a higher % of his 3s when JTA has the assist?
It's that "Livingston Family Mojo"*
* Someone in the Pels blog recently opined that all the Warriors look like distant relatives of Shaun Livingston, lol
Hey SDot and Nico could almost be twins if you use your imagination a bit.
I thought Steph & Nico were twins. Born on the same day..
LOL
Okay, workmanlike win. Checked all the boxes. Good results around the league, too.
Alright NOW we can move to the post gamed thread
JTA is so fun to watch. He's like the small forward version of Looney.
With hops
And a 3-pointer!

Smiley is not even worthy of being an NBA player and I really haven't seen any flashes from him that would suggest otherwise

Draymond, Manu, and Jokic were three second-round picks, as long as we're framing. :-)
Fitz says "Smiley got it stolen." That happens when you can't hold on to the ball.
Mulder showing off his three point shot. He's got more threes than Curry tonight.
Mannion with the steal and assist. Muldur hot like fish grease
Mulder king of the garbage time
Do the winners of the 9-10 and 7-8 play ins play each other next series or do they get the higher seeds after that??
7-8 winner becomes the playoff 7 seed. Loser plays 9-10 winner. Winner of that game becomes the 8 seed.
Ohhh gotcha ok. So def want that 8 seed.
Yeah, with the mild positive of the #9 seed that we'd get to open the play-ins at home against the scrubby Spurs or Pels, whereas at #8 we'd have to start on the road against LAL, POR, or DAL. But yeah, it's way better to only have to win one game than to have to win two.
And sounds like if they lose the first game they still get another shot against a lesser opponent at a playoff spot.
Yeah. And at #9, even if they win, they still have to beat the loser of #7-8. So yes, #8 >>> #9.
Yep, and the loser of the 7/8 gets home court for the final play-in game since they have the better record than either 9 or 10.
Mulder save some 3s
Just like timeouts, you cant take em with you
Thunder goes on an 8-0 run. Come on, Warriors. Can't you guys defend a little?
Lol, take Steph out and proceed to go 0-8 in like 30 seconds.
Man! I love Juan's game. Such a good fit in Kerr system. Plays unselfishly (sometimes too an extreme). High energy. Diving for balls. Hits timely 3s.
Mannion is a traffic cone defensively
Defense can be learned/developed (Wiggins). He’s a pure rookie, he needs some more g league time and didn’t get it this year because of the depleted roster.
And does nowhere near enough offensively to make up for it.
Yeah I've got nothing against the kid but I'm really hoping they don't waste a two-way spot on him next season.
Yes. Plus, developing guys who have backup PG potential at best is not really an efficient use of your resources considering that those guys are basically available whenever you want them.
I'm firmly in the camp of "never draft a 6'2 guy without outlier skill or athleticism".
Okay, I have already published the post-game. If somehow GSW blows this one, I'll have to delete it and put up another Zen mind wipe.
Move over here whenever you're ready. Why not now?

I like the confidence lol.
This is the Goodbye Cake they serve in Denmark
Eric turning off the lights and pushing everyone out. "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here" 😃
It’s not post game yet
(Said like “......it goes to 11”)
Mulder's like, "Chill. I got this."
