Starting lineup predictions for tomorrow? Mine is DDV, JP, Klay, Kuminga, Looney, but would love to hear y'all's thoughts.

I really think we need a Jalen on the roster to compete this year. That’s just the way the league seems to be going.

Am I crazy or did Substack fix that bug they introduced yesterday?

I'm no longer getting dumped back at the top of the comment stack when I expand a thread.

Edit: I see what they did ... they aren't collapsed any more (or not by default). interesting.

I have a strange feeling that the Warriors might win one of the road games with a short-handed roster this season. I don't know whether it will be tomorrow night's game, one of the games in the dreaded 6-games-in-9-nights road trip, or one of the road trips next year, however.

Warriors def gonna below .500 after this road trip

This is why I’ve been so high on kuminga since I’ve seen he actually does have bbiq and is not the raw athletic player he is promoted as.

The potential of a curry klay Wiggins kuminga green lineup in the playoffs can wreak havoc if used properly more then any lineup we’ve had since KD.

We get two crazy athletic on ball defenders in Wiggins and kuminga. Green gets a vertical threat in kuminga for the short roll.

If we can properly develop kumingas scoring(which imo should be a high priority, just like gp2 provided some offense to our starting 4) you are not going to be able to hide a slow center or weak defender on him in the playoffs

Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins will all miss tomorrow’s Warriors’ game in Utah. Curry left ankle soreness, Green left hip tightness, Wiggins right adductor strain. James Wiseman is with team and available.

OT: how does Mobley have a -14 on/off this season? Apparently Mitchell (-5.1) and Garland (-9.1) are negative too. I'd guess SSS but 800+ minutes...

Stephen Curry Is SI’s 2022 Sportsperson of the Year. The article is an awesome read. It emphasizes more of the person/human being that Steph is than the athlete.

Steph was obviously having an off night. It was Klay’s and Poole’s turn, in fact the entire team, to bail out Steph, as he has been doing since the start of the season, and fight for the win. Also wondering if and when Klay can get anywhere near being the good defender that he was. At this point, Steph’s defense is better than Klays.

And just like that, James is back. Hmm…

The silver lining on the Indiana game is that it really continued Kuminga’s vault from “too raw to play or maybe some minutes” to “key rotational player.” Which is all we diehards have been asking for, really. Give him guidance, give him PT and let him sink or swim. But he’ll swim!
