I tried to watch the game on ESPN HD over the net, and the feed was terrible. I think it dropped more frames that it displayed. The overall experience was sort of like E1P except with all the key parts of the sequence left out. Pretty sure the problem isn't on my end since I have a sonic 1gps fiber connection. Oddly enough, the ads always seem to play fine.
Kelly Oubre has been shooting 49% from the field and 36% from three over the last 8 games. I think Oubre is turning the corner with regards to his shooting. His on-ball defense remains astounding.
Great to see Wiseman and Oubre having great games. Both looked more comfortable on the floor than I've ever seen them.
I'm not sure if others would agree, but the Twolves have a much better team than their record shows. They have some very good bench players and they were also without KAT and DLO. Put them on the floor and they won't be beaten so easily. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that the team is playing without them. It allows some of the other talent to come out and shine. Edwards is certainly going to be a player. Vanderbilt, Reid, Nowell, & Mclaughlin, have looked very good against the Warriors. The flip side is that KAT seems to get hurt easily. He misses lots of game. Wiseman will not have such an easy time of it when he returns.
Kelly Oubre said he appreciated the transparent post-trade rumor conversation he had with Steve Kerr and told him: "At the end of the day, I'm a Warrior. Let's go get this fucking win."
Steve Kerr: "James (Wiseman) was fantastic tonight. Obviously some highlight reel dunks in transition and catching lobs. But what we were all most pleased about was his verticality at the rim ... he did that four times where he was not called for a foul. Really encouraging."
Is it me or do the Wolves and Warriors both want the Wolves to lose as many games as possible? The Wolves improve their chances of keeping their pick by being the worst and the Warriors improve their chances at a top 5 pick with the Wolves being the worst.
Utah is by itself at the top of the west. 2nd - Lakers, 3rd - Clippers, 4th - Nuggets, 5th - Blazers, 6th - Warriors, 7th - Spurs, 8th - Grizzlies. Suns in 9th after the loss tonight. It's like a carousel this year. Check it 2 nights from now and it will all be changed again.
OT but looks like Beal days in Washington are numbered. I am not advocating for this in any way but why do I get an feeling he ends up a Warrior. I don't know. Just my Spidey senses. I don't want anybody to go though.
Sending a rook to the bench can do a few different things ie. destroying their confidence, or providing them with an opportunity to observe the play and enter with knowledge of how the game is unfolding. The performance of JW tonight is another example of the type of person he is and how he responds to change and challenges. He has shown his IQ, ability to adapt and most of all resolve. Long may his learning continue, and in time (possibly a short time) return to the starting line up.
No love for DLee in the comments? 17 points last night, 4/5 from 3. With the balanced scoring, Steph was only the 5th top scorer on the team.
Jessup: 19pts, 8/13 FG, 3/4 3P, 3 REB, 1 AST, 1 BLK

Paschall scoring last three games - 4 pt/5 pt/4 pt. Is it just the match ups or have teams figured him out or just a statistical variation?

Let's beat up on Phoenix tomorrow!

I liked paschalls game tho he has been looking to pass when he knows he doesn't have a complete advantage over his defender
I wonder how long until kerr puts wiggins back into the second unit as a facilitator, I haven't seen him pass much since the rotation was changed
KO fbomb!!
