JP talk starts around 22:24. There is JP hype, but there's also the realistic talk that preseason and reg. season are very very different. The latter is much faster and much more physical.
It's sure exciting to have a team we're this confident while also eagerly awaiting the return of two important players. Klay's 3 looks so smooth in those videos: it's so centered in the hoop it's barely even touching the net as it goes through!
Warriors should host one last pre-season event at Chase, but this time it’s a winner-take-all 1-on-1 battle between Bradley and Payton for the 15th spot.
Yo, isn't Wiseman supposed to get the all-clear today? I loved the part of the Slater article where he mentioned that Celebrini had to keep coming up to JW and Dejan to tell them to tone it down. I can't wait to see a leveled up JW getting some run with the 2nd unit!
I agree that a player like DLee can eat the minutes that either Bradley or GP2 would get so I can see them wanting to save $6M. It's not chump change. For me, the biggest need is a big fella, but I can see the Warriors wanting to go with what they have and maybe bring someone in near the trade deadline. If they can survive the bigger teams it will say a lot for us. If not, we done fugged up. So, I will sit back and see how the FO decide to play this out. GP2 has always had my vote. Inspired D is rare.
Like you say, get out of this game with no injuries. The Blazers? I expect this is the season they fall off a cliff. Making Terry Shotts (sp?) the fall guy for being a mediocre team was just wrong.
ok, well no Wiseman update yet. I'll be off for a bit, so the game thread is prescheduled for you all at 6:30.
Hit us up with any updates you see and I'll try and pull them in. See ya!
How would you rank the current Lakers roster if they had the 2012 version of their players?
Specifically, '12-13 versions of: Westbrook, Carmelo, LeBron, AD, Howard, DJ, and Rondo.
FWIW.....game is also on nbatv (which matters to me and any other DISH people who no longer have access to any of the nbc sports channels)
"bonking around through four teams" that made me chuckle. In the UK bonking means 'making love' or 'having sex'. 🤭
It was a huge stretch goal for him to play today anyways, but Kuminga confirmed out
> @KerithBurke
Jonathan Kuminga is still OUT with a patellar tendon strain in his right knee. The Warriors wrap up the pre-season tonight vs the Blazers.
Anyone hear any news on JFK yet? It's past 1 week now, isn't it?

I love it.
Fun fact #1: a word search for "Looney" finds zero instances.
Fun fact #2: Author seems to believe that Harrison Barnes in Year 3 was better than Wiggins is now.
I'd still prefer a big but as far as this game goes, I can't lie, I will be rooting for Avery Bradley to play like shit lol.

> With Portland hungry for a win, and the Warriors down to the last little roster move, expect this one to matter a little bit extra to the Blazers
Lillard is sitting, so I'm gonna have to go with a NAH on that one.
One last tune-up and then it's for real!
Absolutely AWESOME music. Loved it. Great band. Thank you.
