It's been a weird season. Meeting the Kings in the play-in, of all places, is just another oddity. I thought for sure we'd both avoid it if healthy.

I guess there's one scenario where we speed-run last season's playoff opponents in 1 game each. Wouldn't that be something?

I mean, are we really gonna miss GPII during the PlayIns?

He’s been wildly inconsistent in all areas and clearly hampered, other than the fact that he always goes for the reverse dunk for some reason?

Why the reverse dunk, and no other variations?? Hilarious and so mysterious…

Interesting. In NBAverse, some people think Lakers should tank the game against NO and then play thr winner of 9-10 and win. Thus getting OKC in first round. Lakers won the regular season series against OKC, I think.

I can see the logic.

And LeBron may even do it

Golden State WNBA team name has been selected

News

After the WNBA draft today, Holly Rowe (on ESPN) mentioned that she knows the new name of the Golden State team, but can’t share it. Hopefully the rest of us will find out soon!

As long as we value our possessions and don't have those stretches where we have 4-5 forced or lazy ass passes in a row I'm confident we can beat anyone in this league.

kerr regarding this post challenge : “So it’s not just in our record, in our offensive and defensive rating. It’s the vibe. And it’s a good vibe. Obviously, we’re in a tough spot, we’ve gotta win two games just to get into the playoffs. Anything can happen. But I do really believe in this group.

“I believe in karma. I think this group has earned some good karma. So we’ll see what happens here.”

i know it’s California and everything (dude) and i myself very much believe in the processes and importance of “vibe” and karma in all human endeavour, but shouldn’t kerr be providing some more analytical insight than this? to me it’s not very confidence inspiring. maybe my PTSD caused by the last two seasons is showing.

FT% / 3FG% / TS%, post AS break

Klay .950 / .412 / .605

Wiggs .821 / .384 / .572

Kuminga .793 / .333 / .585

Moody .765 / .383 / .573

If they can get past the two coin flip games, and those guys all show up in the playoffs, the Warriors could be a problem.

This will somehow be my second warriors play in game I’ll be watching on a plane. Hopefully this one goes better (along with the WiFi speed)

Chicago Sky drafted both Cardoso and Angel Reese. Hmmm.

We need a Play On Wiggs! And I don't mean follically or even etymologically. I'm talking categorically, historically, and even down right pathologically.

Lol Wemby! Way to alienate some of the fans.

"Wemby on American women:

“I can’t date them. They’re too masculine.. Paris women are soft and tender, American women remind me of NBA Young Boy.”

I think my recent post on the USA Olympic Basketball team was based on some bogus info as it hasn't been reported by USA Basketball or ESPN.
