Just thought about the fact that if the NBA hadn't implemented the play-in system for #7-10, the Dubs' (and Lakers') chances to get into the top 8 would be pretty low, and we'd really be bemoaning the likely end of the dynasty. But as long as there's a play-in, there's still hope :)
Watching for fourth/fifth year seniors who look like the best player on the floor as I suspect that is probably the type of player the Warriors will draft as they try to lock them up for cheap for a few years.
Antonio Reeves on Kentucky looked pretty good, I'll put him on the preliminary list. Also it's so funny that John Calipari keeps losing these games.
EDIT: I suppose the Warriors could go for another Gui Santos international type with the opportunity to stash them too, but that's no fun for me since I can't see them play.
DeRozan got a flagrant foul 2 for running over Jalen Green. Both DeRozan and Dillon Brooks go at each other. DeRozan gets a flagrant foul type 2 and is ejected, while Brooks gets a technical foul and is ejected.
Watching Pat get his first NBA points made me wonder, how many guys have scored at least one point in the NBA or ABA? Like, how exclusive is the club? Searches did not come up with the answer, curious if anyone can figure that out from a stats site
I didn't see an Explain One Play for this last game, as far as I can find, so I'm here to save the day.
"Here we see a play that Kerr calls JKLAP, which is just "Jonathan Kuminga lurking like a puma." That should be JKLLAP but we forgive, Kerr knows all. Observe as Kuminga lurks in the passing lane, then at the right moment pounces like a mountain lion descending upon a helpless marmot. Kuminga then speeds down court like a rabid catamount and throws the ball down like a cougar discarding its prey. Two points.

"Warriors show flashes of greatness in win over Memphis; is it sustainable"
It's probably too late even if it is. Uphill battle from the 2 extra play-in games to the first round of the playoffs. And no home court advantage and facing the 1-4 of the West. It's too late, Ernie. We're cooked.

Let's go Hawks!

An Ode to My NCAA Tournament Bracket, by Kinbote
Dear bracket
You were young once, with no red lines across
Your beautiful visage
But now I am reminded of
How artists used to include
Flaws in their art
So as not to offend god
I could worship a hundred gods
And none would be offended by you
Kings: "We're the most unserious team in the league."
Warriors: "Excuse me?"
