I’ve been the biggest Kerr supporter but I can’t help but think at this stage of a lot of the current players career that they would benefit from a Mark Jackson type coach who would just pump them up and make them believe they belong in this league With that said I would never want him back but I still don’t understand why a team like the Knicks won’t give him a shot
Way OT, but I wonder how many teams are going to give Westbrook the psuedo-Tony Allen treatment going forward, especially in a series. I know RW scored a lot (35?) vs Utah, but forcing mid-range and 3's should be statistically advantageous, even wide-open:
We have heard from Substack that they may soon give us reverse chronological comment order, so newest ones appear at the top. The reply box remains at the top. I'm pausing work on my bookmarklet until the changes come in. I begged them to have it ready by Steph Sunday, but who knows it might come earlier.
I'll be at the game tonight, so I'm hoping more guys play and the Dubs get the win!
I'm not at all confident, but it should be doable. The Kangz are worse than some teams we have beaten this season. (Though, if Dray, Wiggins, and Chriss are all out that sure doesn't bode well...)
The Cavs winning yesterday (2-1 under new coach) gave the dubs a 4-game 'lead' in the tank-off. The Wolves actually are out-tanking us (2-8 vs 1-9) in the last 10 games, though, so with only a 4.5 game difference, there might be a tank tug-of-war still to come:
It would be nice to get a win (if a bit ironic to finally get a win the one time Wiggins is in street clothes). I wonder when Simmons is joining the big squad. If can still play solid defense, he might even be a useful piece for next year. The more I look at the draft, the worse it looks on offense, but if the Warriors can clinch the best/worst seed, there are at least 4 non-top-4 players that could be above-average defenders (some of which we could get in a trade-down): Okoro, Halibuton, Jahmi'us Ramsey, Okongwu. So if there aren't any blockbuster trades, the Warriors 'only' get the #5 pick., and no team wants to enter the top 5, it still probably wouldn't be terrible (just maybe a reach for a few of those players).
Preview: Warriors vs. Kings - "Do you dwell in the cellar, or are you just visiting?"
BArnes post move improved since we got him! Bazemore handling are much tighter now!

At least the refs are finally giving us some love to start the quarter
Dang, H Barnes really blowing up the Dubs, especially Bender, off the dribble. That first step is looking a lot faster than it used to.
Did you all notice the comments are strictly REVERSE CHRONO???? Try it out in the game thread that Daniel‘s opening in a few minutes.

Either way, the Warriors won't be one of the guinea pigs this year, and teams should be finding counters by next season at the latest.
2 good games on TNT tonight (Zion vs Lakers after this one)
Off topic, but I really hate that the Warriors gave up so quickly on Chris Boucher.

No Draymond, but Chriss will play tonight
> @GSWReddit
> Draymond Green has been downgraded to out for tonight's game. Marquese Chriss has been upgraded to probable per NBA Injury Report.
> Warriors will most likely take the court with 9 players.
