Otherwise pretty much every game today went to the team with the better record. Nets without 2 of their big 3 are pretty squishy, and got squished. But what’s up with the Bucks? Sure the Cavs are decent but they seem to be losing a lot lately. And that game wasn’t close.
Kerrball needs only the right players to make it work and we have them already. The only blip is to get them to execute on the same night. No doubt, we've gone through a bad patch, but these don't happen very often with our team barring injuries. I have no worries that the Dubs will be in the thick of things come playoff time. Whether we can take down Phoenix to win the Conference or remain in 2nd place doesn't change my mind or the odds to contend for the ring. This is a dynamic team even with Curry's shooting at this new low level. We can still dismantle most teams as was evidence last night with Dallas. Bring in Klay at full speed, and then Draymond when he heals, and no one will want to face us anywhere, any time. The sub-stories of the rise of Kuminga and the fate of JW don't really affect the outcome of this team except to add some gravy to the sauce. Staying healthy is my prime concern. Personally, too.
I'll have to check out these posts when conscious tomorrow. Just finished my 4th 550 mile drive in 2 weeks, life support systems failing, accessing sub-routines, rerouting auxiliary power ....

Haven't read the comments yet, so maybe this is already said, but I think this is the first time I've seen Kuminga beam from ear-to-ear ever. I love it.
Eric, I also wanted to ask how you get the replays for Explain One Play. I wanted to go over a couple of games and chart a few different things (Steph on-ball vs Steph off-ball, efficiency on split cuts etc) but don't know where I can find full game footage (if that is even possible).
What would you guys think about getting Lou Dort? He's on an incredible contract (any one on our roster like JTA would be enough of a salary match) and is still super young and we all know OKC would do it for draft compensation.
Something like JTA + this year's FRP (which is going to be somewhere between 25-30 in all probability) + a future 2nd for Dort? OKC probably need another FRP considering this year's FRP is basically equivalent to a 2nd round pick.
JTA + this year's FRP + 2026 FRP (top 18 protected) for Dort? Too much?
Anyway, he's one of the few interesting guys who makes a vet min equivalent salary and would be incredibly useful in the playoffs.
"I'm not worried about the selection as much as figuring out what needs to change in terms of knocking them down and finding the joy of shooting the ball," Curry said. "That's always a part of my game. I got to be better at that."
I have to admit, it is a bit depressing for me to read this and see D'Antoni. He was one of the most brilliant basketball minds in the last twenty years (imho) and if not for running up against two All Time Great Dynasties/Coaches (Popovich's Spur's and Kerr's Warriors), he might very well have a championship under his belt. Instead, he's relegated to being a coaching advisor for the Pelicans.
Gah, eight-game win streak for the Suns. Is there any team in the league that can beat the Suns??? The last time they lost was against the Heat.
Well the Jazz blew it. No surprise there.

Jazz are *almost* caught up to the Suns but Paul & Booker have them in the midrange torture chamber to stay ahead

KLAY-MINGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Scene to Terminator Red Eyes dimming to black]
Let's go Spurs declaw Grizz a bit. Papa Joey needs HCA.
No hope of Jazz beating Suns though.
Wow - Hornets with 158 pts including 39 from KOJ.
Nets have lost three games in a row. Their next game will be against us this Saturday.

I see you, Kelly Oubre, Jr. o_O
Cavs up 20 on the Bucks in the fourth quarter...

spotted this elsewhere:
How about Mitch, Burks and Rose to GS for Kuminga, Wiseman and a few bad contacts?
Followed immediately by a Wiggs is the only bad GSW contract post...
So which of those posts is "wronger"?
Even Curry is worried about his slump:
"I'm not worried about the selection as much as figuring out what needs to change in terms of knocking them down and finding the joy of shooting the ball," Curry said. "That's always a part of my game. I got to be better at that."
