Does anyone else get Anthony Randolph vibes with wiseman. The lack of feel and forced shots.... then the flashes of brilliance with obvious and rare talent. It was a roller coaster with Randolph that ended up fizzling out. I still think it’s way to early to hit the panic button with wiseman, but there have definitely been a lot of examples of raw players with talent not putting it together. I feel like people don’t always understand that putting talent together while playing within an offense is really hard. The warriors have seen this before with b-Wright(broken wing), and AR15 (remember people on gsom jokingly calling him A-Dolph). For every jermaine O’Neal there are lime 3-5 more Michael Beasley. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to sell high while the “potential” hype is still there, waiting for development is a gamble as game by game, and season by season; a player will reveal what they are and either lose or gain value.
Right now i’m really tired of the team, i really don’t see a significant difference from last year , except that Curry is healthy (thank god) , but we are not a playoff team and i hate tanking.
I want to see trades but i don’t know how, i want Klay back but i’m not sure if he gonna be a great player if he’s back.
I know some people hate to read it, but we are wasting Curry’s prime, to me he is the GOAT.

Let's hope we can look back at the end of the season and say "Remember when Steph actually got visibly frustrated on the bench, yelled at the guys and they went on a 20 game winning streak?" Don't ask me to show my work I come from the future
I had only intended to watch the 2nd half, but then I checked the score and did something productive instead. FWIW, at this point in the season, I don't have a problem with Mannion, Poole, and Wiseman jacking up 3s if the defense is going to crowd the paint. They might as well get the practice in at the NBA level and if and when they start making them, opposing teams will have to change their schemes. On the positive side of the ledger, the T-Wolves won a game and I'm still hoping they end up good enough that the Warriors grab the #4 pick.

This team's just gotta take its lumps. One of PMC's videos was titled "Kerr gets grilled on Wiseman" but Kerr honestly stuck up for him and you can tell he's trying to play the long game.
That second unit though...it's tough enough having one rookie to develop let alone find where two rookies and two sophs fit in your franchise's plans.
The Warriors are trying to do that Spurs balancing act of bringing the new wave of talent in while still giving the trusted vets another title shot, it's just really tough without Klay in there, and we're seeing the growing pains.
Like I said in the game thread though, I've never seen Steph that pissed off, even going back to college. The baby Dubs are going to have to grow up and fast. But you still gotta give some of the vets time to buoy the ship. Bazemore should definitely be getting more playing time, and I don't think you can fully take Brad out of the lineup. If the FO is committed to seeing what they can get out of JP and Nico I don't see a place for Mulder on this roster, sadly.

How can you not see Lloyd Dobbler holding the boom box when you look at that new little symbol next to "AUTHOR"
