1. Defense on [KPJ] -> transition 3

2. Step-back 3 on [Sengun]

3. Step-back mid-range on [Tate]

4. Step-back three on [Chistopher]

5. Pull-up mid-range on [Wood]

6. Step-back 3 on [Matthews]

7. Drive on [Matthews]

8. Three over [Tate] + [KPJ]

Anyone got a game thread. I keep missing them.

So, it's official. Steph Curry needs to be trash talked to motivate him out of a slump. I guess he gets bored with the game...........

Oh I get it, Steph can’t play because he’s at CarMax.

As long as the guys work on their Kerrball and don’t just slip into ISO hero-ball I’ll keep watching.

Spurs have no one on the injury report, while the Warriors won't have Curry, Klay, Wiggins, Green, OPJ, Bjelica, Iguodala, and Wiseman tonight.

Yeah, this looks like a loss for the Warriors.

We’re playing a team with a lot of issues. I predict a sloppy victory.

So did Indiana. Doesn’t mean they’re good.

I'm pretty excited to let the young ones get loose. Poole from 3 levels, 6 made 3s from Moody, a few monster dunks from JK in a 30 point loss. I'm down with that.

Also good publicity for him. Dunk Champion and World Champion would be nice to have on his resume as he enters free agency.

Expand full comment

Why did JTA accept? Because, duh. Why did they offer JTA? Because they got that far down on their list of "no's". It's the only thing I can think of.

Has anyone ever been injured in the slam dunk contest?

I don't get why people wouldn't want JTA in it? Almost no injury risk. Good publicity for the hometown kid

Steve & Pops ought to get themselves thrown out in the 1st 5 minutes, then go for a night out on the town.

Sounds like a good idea! Use this game as a chance for the benched vets to literally coach the young'uns!
