That video of Klay gets me so fired up and I'm so inspired by his wise approach, too. My wife asked when the garbage would be taken out and I said, "That's up to Mr. Celebrini."
The Jazz are a tough team, even on a SEGABABA. I hope we come out strong so we don't dig a big hole. I like our chances of closing it out strong, like we almost did vs Denver, so if we have it close at the half, it could be a double-digit win.
Happy New Year DDD and every other critical part of the DubNationHQ. You guys all do amazing work and the resulting community is something to be grateful for. Wishing you all the best as we continue this ride on this rather interesting and hopefully fruitful season.
I am expecting a big game back for JP and JTA. Not sure why, just a feeling.
Nothing like a cold cup of coffee with an Alka-Selzer chaser to usher in a new year. Utah won't make the same mistake PHO made the other day underestimating a short handed team. They will come hard. Despite Warriors resilience, I think this is the game where Draymond's absence really shows, on both ends of the court. First team to 115 wins this one.

NBA plus-minus leaders
1. Curry +377
2. Gobert +304
3. Mitchell +260
Should be a good one.
Okay, well I have pretty much broke all my New Year's Resolutions before 5pm Jan 1. On the bright side, 5pm is a personal best.

Injury report according to ESPN:
Warriors: Klay Thompson, James Wiseman, Damion Lee, and Draymond Green are out.
Jazz: Hassan Whiteside and Eric Paschall are out.
It is really remarkable how seemingly effortlessly Kuminga gets above the rim in the scrimmage video.
Happy New Year, you all. WGBC again!
Also that video of Klay scrimmaging with starters - Bueno! His shot looks pure as ever.
I have confidence that JTA will bounce back and have a good game tonight.

Has anybody else noticed that there seems to be an increase in high level passers compared to the past? Or am I just tripping?
OT: can only find snippets elsewhere, so can anybody share latest on Wissman?
Close to ready for contract drills, like maybe next week, but now in H&S protocols?
Poole party tonight! Welcome back, Jordan!
