Of course Guy, who still can't shoot at the NBA level consistently, took the last shot, and of course he didn't even get it off in time. I do not get what people seem to see in him.

The funniest part of the game was when Kuminga got stuffed and after not putting that much energy the entire game decides to lock down the pelicans player

Also why does jessup look so much different from the first couple summer league games. He actually looks like he belongs now

Came here just to write that was text book Eric random ending.

Oh, and JFK living up to the F in his nickname. Holy smokes.

I’m not buying that call at the end of the game. And the ESPN2 announcers were garbage. But Kuminga looks good - so I’m still happy :)

Saw a very interesting tweet about free agent big man Isaiah Hartenstein, wish the Warriors would consider him:

That was an incredible end of game block! Too bad the refs decided the rebound and putback after the whistle needed to be rewarded more than defense. Luckily no one will ever have to see a call like that in the regular season, haha.

Why GP2 didn’t play?

Man I was hoping for Murphy at 14 as a dark horse pick. Obviously happy with our guys but this guy should be a staple in the league for a while.

Turned out to be a good end of game. Kuminga looks promising on the defensive end. I can imagine Draymond is salivating rn.

That was a really weird call. Is it common in the NBA games?

That was a fun weird ending. Kuminga being very assertive all around, good sign for the future.

Shout out to Trey Murphy, do what you need to get motivated, but no one was saying before the draft "we don't think this guy can defend" lol.

Sorry I'm sure it's a really nice story but I find Naji Marshall annoying in the moment

Guy did not have enough time to jab, dribble, and shoot

Haha I was wondering if the pels would get double screwed... the putback went in so if they didnt call goaltend, they would have scored anyway.
