Does anybody understand why, if our plan was/is to sign GP2, we didn’t do it at the end of the last ten day? Seems like it would have be nice to let him run last night, for eaxame. Maybe some weird cap shenanigans?
What a great ''meaningless'' win against the PELS. The great Freudian Whisperer, Sleepy, must have whispered in Kerr's ear. The win built more confidence in our young guys, and, kept the momentum going, and, as Sleepy said, allowed them to play together. Poole, JTA, and Mulder ''beasted'' and the team is riding high going into the Sunday's tiebreaker game for ''all the marbles''. Kerr risked a ''meaningless'' loss and got a very meaningful, confidence-building win, and another day of rest for our 3 key stars. Wins always work out best.
That first half of basketball was really impressive, JP and the gang looked like a machine out there.
I think the collapse was largely due to Looney only playing 8 second half minutes. Smiley just isn't ready yet with the timing, and Bell is of course new to the team.
JP really is looking like Sleepy Floyd, it's amazing the turnaround from being "the cooler" for the first half of last season, personally responsible for a chunk of our losses. Credit to the front office for recognizing a guy that's going to work himself into an excellent player.
Not sure how much Paschall should play from here on out, he's got talent but he missed out on the stretch where the team really started gelling and I wouldn't want to break up the chemistry.
What makes me the most happy is seeing all those assists. Especially all the crisp ones by JTA and Poole, brings tears of notalgia to my eyes... and I marvel at how we used to be so stacked with Iguodala, Livingston, David west, Bogut and more, so many good passers!
Draymond Green, Looney, and Poole are all late round picks. Damion Lee, Bazemore, JTA are all undrafted. Andrew Wiggins was universally criticized as a lackluster player. All of them are now key contributors for this team, you gotta admit, the Warriors have a way of identifying diamonds in the rough.
Good to keep the streak alive and great to see Poole and Mulder knock down some shots. Unfortunatley it does not seem the Jordan Bell is the difference maker between us and championship.

I thought Poole would have to get 40 for us to win. He got 38 and we won lol.

Pascal didn’t lose a beat... looking fresh legs out there
Very good win by the Dubstitute... J. Bell looks like he woke up from a long sleep!
Good to keep the streak alive and great to see Poole and Mulder knock down some shots. Unfortunatley it does not seem the Jordan Bell is the difference maker between us and championship.
Man, 38 for Poole. Who needs that other point guard... what was his name? Steph something. 😉 😂 😂
It may not make any difference as far as standings or playoffs but I think the guys wanted this one tonight and I'm glad they got it.
Might be a long 36 hours for Poole getting treatment on his ankle to make sure he's good to go, depending on how bad it is of course.
