My word: mediocre Celtics 73, Kangz 33 in the 3rd Q.

Haliburton + Mitchell + Barnes + Hield a combined 4-36 from the floor. o_O

Edit: now a manageable 81-42.

Confession time: I really love Luka’s game. My three favorite NBA things are Dubs, Luka, and Giannis. Is this allowed? May I please have permission from those gathered here to root tonight for a Dubs win, spectacular Steph play AND cool Luka plays? Gulp, awaiting ruling ....

One of the shows on 95.7 the game today was trying to run a concern trolling segment about what everyone was worried about in terms of the Warriors right now. Some people said Klay getting back to 100%, some callers said Poole integrating into the second unit, some people said Dray's back. One thing that I was glad no callers took the easy bait on was Curry. Didn't hear anyone express worry about him except for the troll host Steinmetz. One caller dressed him down for doubting the greatest shooter of all time and said his level of concern about Steph's shooting was negative 1,000,000,000. Nice to see and hear Dub Nation stand behind our leader and MVP.

I Can't Wait Until We Get Klay Back, Part II: The Squeakuel

As for the C, Gasol's by far the standout option imo. However, the cost for that would either be JTA or Bjelica. Depending on what the FO thinks of Gasol in 2022, I can see arguments for letting both go in favor of Gasol.

What we need most of all is an asset consolidation trade. I would love to know what Toronto wants for OG or Vanvleet. They're really good players, but the Raptors are a middling team so they might be willing to listen to really good offers.

Great ESPN Lakers headline [since they rarely have non-Lakers headlines]"

"There is no Plan B: The Los Angeles Lakers and Russell Westbrook are stuck inside their own grand experiment"

Willie Cauley-Stein, anyone? I guess my question is, considering the lack of "rim presence" bigs on the Warriors right now, could he fill the role we hoped Wiseman might, and is that worth more than, say, Bjelica (considering we have to cut someone)?

From hoopsrumors chat today:

12:28 Has Willie cleared Waivers? Is he still out for " Personal Reasons " ? Kind of miss seeing him out on the Hardwood.

Luke Adams

12:29 Yep, he's cleared waivers and he's a free agent. I have no insight to what his personal reasons are, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up sitting out the season and trying to catch on with a team for the start of 2022/23."

With PG13 possibly having season ending injury I think we can officially count the Clippers out of the title race. They might as well just shut Kawhi down.

Zaza not sounding too concerned about Draymond's injury.

> Without going into too much detail, Warriors basketball operations consultant Zaza Pachulia offered a positive outlook on Green’s status, during his bi-weekly appearance on 95.7 The Game’s “The Morning Roast: Executive Show.” You can listen to the full interview above.

> “Injuries are part of the game – what are we going to do?” Pachulia told hosts Bonta Hill and Joe Shasky. “The good thing is, it’s not something serious. It’s going really well and there’s progress every single day. Can’t wait to have him back on the court.”
