Hey, um... I realize I'm very late to the news, but I don't know what drove Dub Nation HQ to break off from Let's Go Warriors which is still a going concern. Should I just assume it's some fight about money with elements of creative control?
"Okay let’s put the receipts away for today. There will be plenty more to roll out as this team continues to smash opponents." I get an unhealthy amount of glee from this.
Think about what Poole looked like in his first year and where he is now -- it's a pretty big chasm that he's crossed. Now apply that to JK, Moody, and Wise (hell, even Wiggs and Loon to a certian extent). The guy that gets a lot of credit for JP's development, Kris Weems, is now on Kerr's staff (rather than coaching the GL team) and we assembled a very reputable staff of developmental coaches... Daniel, I'll wait to see your post in 2023
I'm just as petty (if not as entertaining) as Daniel so I am here for 100% of the calling out of bad takes of our players. People like to brag and puff their chest out when their predictions are correct and by the other side of that coin, should be publicly shamed when their predictions are laughably wrong. I won't target anyone by name but Wiggins and Poole unbelievers, you know who you are, and I hope you're feeling rather sheepish right now. Siakam for Wiggins AND the 7th and 14th picks? GTFOH, that's some shameful shit. Siakam for Wiggins straight up is already a bad trade.
Bob missed with Damian Jones and shot an airball with Jacob Evans. Both late picks (low chance of getting anything with those spots) so it's not like he'd blown it too badly (see the excellent DNHQ series on this). But he'd still earned our skepticism on his drafting and when Poole struggled we overreacted. We're all thrilled with where it ended up though.
OT: Imagine being a Kings fan - Luke Walton, just fired, finished his tenure with Sacramento with a .422 winning percentage, the second HIGHEST winning percentage any coach has had with the team since 1984. Oh, wait, I can sort of imagine that - it's what being a Warriors fan was like during most of my childhood.
Just ran across an interesting stat gleaned from a KNBR article after the Detroit game. Updated after last night, the Dubs have a consecutive 40 game streak of scoring 100 or more points per game. Next closest is Utah with 11.
Feels like you nailed it again on this article. If the Warriors keep playing this way all season it’s going to be because of the chips on peoples shoulders. The disrespect card will be played all year, and it will be glorious!
Anyone have the time to make a list of who will go off on each team in the NBA? Wiggins is like clockwork against the Wolves, Cavs (fading into vs LeBron?), and Canadian teams?

Here's another receipt, from a couple of days ago:
"I don't know what the team sees in Chiozza"
Posted right here on this site by yours truly. I'm delighted to eat a little crow.
Mini-Steph might not be the greatest, but he did a nice job holding his own last night.

Found this thread in r/NBA after Luke Walton was fired yesterday:
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/qz0qud/luke_walton_has_a_6893_record_with_the_kingsthat/
Among the 18 head coaches for the Kings since they moved to Sacramento in 1985, Walton had the second best winning percentage.
1) .633 Rick Adelman (395-229)
2) Luke Walton (68-93)
3) .415 Reggie Theus (44-62)
4) .403 Phil Johnson (81-120)
5) .403 Garry St. Jean (159-236)
6) .402 Eric Musselman (33-49)
7) .398 Dave Joerger (98-148)
8) .393 George Karl (44-68)
9) .386 Rex Hughes (22-35)
10) .368 Mike Malone (39-67)

Dray$’s contract is looking like one hell of a bargain

Wiggins + Kuminga for D-Lo is payback for those of us who suffered through Parish + McHale pick for JB Carroll
OT [until later in the week] Nic Batum didn't play Sunday due to health & safety protocols.

He's been low-key very solid for them and importantly helps them spell Ayton.
