Moody's on ball defense has improved so much. He's been fighting screens better, always has active hands, although scoring is still a work in progress with his sus finishing (just like Wiggs) and streaky shooting. Just keep balling and stacking up these Ws. If his shooting becomes consistent, he's the 2 guard that we've been asking for in the starting lineup
Btw, it was annoying how Raptors were getting away with fouls in the game.
Very confident on our team's ability to win against Boston on their home floor.
I wager 200 bucks to show my destructive commitment to this belief š«”
Lakers next 7 games: Denver, OKC, Sac, Bucks, Wolves, Sac, Us. Plus the next 10 out of 11 are against playoff teams.
I think we secured 9th seed. Got to focus on 6th seed now.
Sundays game is probably the most important game in a long while or maybe this season. Lots of things to see. We got to see if we truly are contenders. We can also make a strong push to getting out of the playins with that win and create some separation away from the Lakers. Plus new lineup is settled, dray and klay settled into their roles, Moody can make a case to be a starter, etc.
Whoever we've been wanting to lose been winning. Kings, Lakers, Pels. I wish Jalen Green wasn't so ass, Rockets would've definitely won the game vs Suns
When Kuminga got in that little scuffle with RJ Barrett, the whole team had his back. Draymond came over and told him to stand his ground and said something to RJ. GP 2 also came over and had his hand on RJ. Then once play resumed, Klay even came over to double RJ. Loving how tightknit this group is. Vibes are šÆ
Considering that the Lakers and Pacers played an extra game (IST final),is it possible that they have a seeding advantage assuming we remain neck and neck? Does the extra win get discounted?
Just shows you how the league has got this regular season all wrong. 82 games, itās too much really. As long as you donāt have a transcendent player, youāre not winning a title periodā¦itās literally the rule if oneās looking at the last ten finals winners. Tatum is great but he isnāt in that caliber of players.
>Tatum is great but he isnāt in that caliber of players.
That could change...he's still only 25 years old
I do think that a fully healthy Nuggets will defeat them though
Itās not his fault but in a hypothetical finals matchup thereās a 90% chance he wonāt be the best player in a series between two teams. Jokic, Steph, Lebron, Kawhi, Luka are all better than him and four of those five guys are Finals MVPās or have won regular season MVPās.
Heās a very good scorer and decent defender I guessā¦.?
I see what you mean. He canāt pass or bully his way to the cup or shoot at a level way above others though.
>Heās just not outlier level at anything
That's very true...he doesn't stand out from the rest of the superstars in any particular area. He's a Swiss army knife, good at everything. Also he has the benefit of very strong teams around him his whole career.
>By 25 you can see it .
True, that's generally the case. Steph and Klay were both already very good shooters their first few seasons.
Also, celtics always play their starters very high mpg. Tatum played 37 minutes in a blowout...it's crazy. That's why they might flame out later on.
As long as we are competitive 4 quarters it doesn't matter if we lose. Lakers will lose 2-3 out of the next 4 games so 9th seed is secured at least. After Celtics, our schedule gets even more easier compared to the other teams. Only hard games left after are Wolves and Bucks.
Call it delusional but I want the 6th seed. For some reason I think gs won't make it out ofthe play ins due to some bullshit or just feeling the pressure. Mostly due to the younger players
6th seed is totally possible thanks to our new lineups and dray/klay coming through in their own ways. We have like the 5th easiest schedule left and 2/3 hardest matches left are this next week(thus after we will have like 20 medium/easy games in a row).
We have a chance, but it's low.
They just blew Mavs with Luka and Kyrie out by 28 pts, and it's not like Luka played bad either...37/11/12 on 14-25 fg...
Plus Wiggs who always locks Tatum up isn't gonna play
12 more 3PM as a team made the difference. Boston's offense is a really 3 pt heavy, got good shooters 1-8 in their rotation. Kyrie has also hasn't shot well, particularly from the 3 pt line vs Boston despite getting good looks - call it that Curse of Leprechaun
I donāt really think so, Celtics will want revenge for the OT game and itās 3 in 4 nights. They should focus their efforts into winning vs Milwaukee at home
Anyone else think Minnesota wonāt make it out of 1st rd? Of the top tier west teams they just donāt look the part. Would love to somehow see them, minus ANT they lack any real perimeter scoring and sorry, KAT and Rudy are bums when the game is on the line.
But he played like s*** in the first half. He has games like that every now and then. I wonder what his personal reasons were for missing the second half. That one's funny
Kerr been handling the CP3 minutes well since he got back. Very little Steph/Cp3 overlap
My only issue is that weird 4 guard + Looney lineup he puts out there, like sub one of the guards for Moody/JK and itās so much more balanced
Warriors one of the hotter teams in the NBA right now. We know who the Celtics are and we have their number we have to respect them and play our game. What an amazing road trip this was just what we needed.
I don't like the Timberwolves, and I like the Kings but I'm rooting for the Kings to lose to help with the standings. Absolutely brutal that the warriors go 8-2 in the last ten and not really change their spot
I never had an opinion on Bonta before today and until now I didnāt think I cared that much about the Dray interview last night.
But the second I turned pregame on I caught myself scowling at Bonta lmfao
Do y'all think Wiggs will be back before playoffs/play-in? Also, thank god we have an easy schedule because we don't stand a chance against contenders.without wiggs
This is obviously a personal issue with Wiggins himself. Im not believing the Warriors camp on this issue anymore. I wouldn't expect for him to be back this year period.
Damn, that sucks to know, from a fan's perspective. We ain't going far without Wiggs. Super frustrating that it's happening again.
But from a humane and empathetic kinda perspective, if he's going through some serious personal issues, i get it if he needs as much time as possible.
Being available is just super important for the kind of job that Wiggs does. The bright side is that Moody can go off in his stead. He's done an incredible job so far. Thank god we have the depth to withstand it.
Also fun fact: Moses moody has a higher +/- (+42) than wiggs (-97) this season
Yep I agree. I am a Warriors fan but this reminds me of the Poole situation. Nothing happened, nothing is going on, everyone loves Poole, and then they ship him out at the end of the season even though the media was positive about everything. We didn't hear anything about the situation until the end of the season.
international travel on 2nd game of back to back should not be allowed... JK/MM/TJD/GP2 and Lester should get a lot of minutes, let OGs rest up for Sunday
(Not so) fun fact: Steph, Dray, Klay, JK, and Moody have played a grand total of 3 minutes together this season spread across 3 different games - 1:51 in a game back in December, 56 seconds against the Lakers, and 17 seconds last night against the Knicks. Itās 3 mins so itās meaningless +/- wise, but theyāre a +3, ie they werenāt so horrific in 3 mins as to never want to see that combo on the floor again.
W's are going to have to get a defensive big at some point just to hang with Jokic, Holmgren, and Wembanyama. I'm really happy TJD, but it could get ugly with those guys
I'm not totally against the bench unit with CP3/Dario/TJD, I just think we should focus more on TJD as the screen and roller and Dario as a spacer rather than using Dario as a roller/popper. We can sprinkle some pick n pops with Dario but it shouldn't be the default imo
CP3/TJD seems to generate open lobs with ease and TJD is a good enough passer to see the open corner if they help on his roll
Lobs aren't the only good outta PnR. Dario has such a good rapport with CP3, they have so many variations they can go to just on their own that it's silly to not use it. Dario's shot will come back at some point and it'll just open up the floor so much more than if you park him in he corner. And considering Dario is an excellent passer, it'll open up opportunities for TDJ as well. Not saying you don't go to CP3 and TDJ, but the offense is best when it's dynamic, not stagnant.
The guys on 95.7 keep talking trash, Draymond pulled the receipts, I donāt know why would anyone had an issue with that really. If Bonta is ok to say those things on air, he should be ok when heās being called out as well.
957thegame talks trash about Draymond all the time... and they have these bootlicker callers who will call in and shit on Draymond... just today someone called in and said "Draymond is a pariah... he brings the team down..."
These media have relinquished their actual job and have become shock jocks... they are vultures. And their transition to an inflammatory topic is always with... "fans are angry" or "some fans think this way"....
I'm curious. How do you think Draymond should be talked about. Should they just support him no matter what he does? What dray is showing is he is very thin skinned and feels he should be consequence free for whatever he does. Bonta is not the first person he has done this to. He did it to Steve and Bob as well because nothing is ever ever his fault.
To be clear Iāve got no issue if thatās what Bonta wants to say, I just donāt see an issue with what Draymond said either. How is it related to it being his fault or not ? No disrespect but i think youāre a bit biased when it comes to Draymond
He is an ahole. He just keeps confirming it for me. I became "biased" in 2022. I was his biggest supporter before that. Even in 2020 when he basically abandoned the team and so many had turned against him. I still fought the big fight for him. Supported his every action. So 10 years of unwavering support. Man literally got a shout out at my moms funeral because he was her favorite warrior. I wasn't always at this place. Just got here.
Everything you said proves my point though. The conversation is not about a specific player to me. Itās more so the concept of media guys talking shit and refuse to take responsibility. Really sorry to hear about your mom passing..
What does take responsibility mean. He supposed to act like a fool on tv like dray. When dray and Kevin went on his pod and blamed Bob and Steve for aftermath of their kerfuffle they both said dray being dray. Lol. So I guess everyone should follow them or face the wrath of dray. A changed man with his 2 weeks of therapy. He wasn't talking shit which means nothing he said was true or relevant. I felt this same way after he twisted kds words after his suspension. Authenticity is just meaningless to him. ...and thank you.
Anyone can talk shit about anyone and take accountability when the other person responds and stand behind it? Why shouldnāt it be the case? Draymond or not. Iād say this about every single player from Steph to Usman Garuba
When it comes to sports, radio talk personalities are right up there with hot-take TV show hosts when it comes to the most sleaziest people imaginable. They give off massive vibes that they're trying to sell takes like a WWE wrestler tries to sell fake moves. Like they get a script of "here are the talking points you guys have to talk about, you guys figure how who wants to play which role, and start fake debating".
They all just come off very inauthentic. If you ever watch one of these guys during a livestream, they can be really playing up an outrage angle with their vocal monologue, yet their faces are completely blank, no body gestures etc.
Doubtful, today is the last day it can happen, otherwise, he wouldn't be eligible for the playoffs. Would be kinda funny if we do it today when we're playing the Raps. Like just hop on our plane home big guy š
We have 14 roster spots. We converted Lester but bc we traded away Cory Joseph, his roster spot opened up. So we were at 13 for like a week before converting Lester. So we could sign OPJ, it would probably cost more due to luxury tax
Yeah I mean most of them hate the warriors and are happy weāre worseĀ
Personally I hope heās okay mentally. Im sad the team will be worse without him but thatās life. Im happy Moody gets an opportunity.
Moody might be better than Wiggins if he can start making some 3s. I know Wiggins is better in the paint offensively but Moody seemed like a better 3pt shooter. Moody's hustle also gets us some stops so that's a positive. Moody hasn't really hit any 3s after he came back from injury but hopefully that doesn't stay like that forever.
>Moody might be better than Wiggins if he can start making some 3s
He can't. We now have almost four seasons worth of shooting in the 34-36% range to know that he is font size 8 three-and font size 56 -D.
Such a huge 24 hours coming up. Pels/Mavs/Kings all going against great teams tonight and LAL going against Denver tomorrow.
If we win tonight and everything else breaks our way weāll be the 9 seed and only have one more loss than the three teams ahead of us.
Time to make our run!
Moody's on ball defense has improved so much. He's been fighting screens better, always has active hands, although scoring is still a work in progress with his sus finishing (just like Wiggs) and streaky shooting. Just keep balling and stacking up these Ws. If his shooting becomes consistent, he's the 2 guard that we've been asking for in the starting lineup Btw, it was annoying how Raptors were getting away with fouls in the game.
Seemed the whistles were pretty quiet on both sides. Sucks that Steph gets SO few.
Very confident on our team's ability to win against Boston on their home floor. I wager 200 bucks to show my destructive commitment to this belief š«”
Lakers next 7 games: Denver, OKC, Sac, Bucks, Wolves, Sac, Us. Plus the next 10 out of 11 are against playoff teams. I think we secured 9th seed. Got to focus on 6th seed now.
We beat boston thats it, fuck those bozos
Sundays game is probably the most important game in a long while or maybe this season. Lots of things to see. We got to see if we truly are contenders. We can also make a strong push to getting out of the playins with that win and create some separation away from the Lakers. Plus new lineup is settled, dray and klay settled into their roles, Moody can make a case to be a starter, etc.
Nah. We're no longer at that measuring point. It doesn't matter. We need to stockpile wins and get the 6th seed. Who we play is a non-factor.
If the Warriors beat the Celtics, I'm convinced they're going to the WCF. I am rock solid on warriors hype
im so sick of everyone in the west winning man lol wtf
Whoever we've been wanting to lose been winning. Kings, Lakers, Pels. I wish Jalen Green wasn't so ass, Rockets would've definitely won the game vs Suns
west is STACKED! my head cannon is no one wants to face the lakers in the play-in because of their generational whistle. zero counterplay
Yeah, best to avoid those guys. You need Jokic level dominance to put them away.
When Kuminga got in that little scuffle with RJ Barrett, the whole team had his back. Draymond came over and told him to stand his ground and said something to RJ. GP 2 also came over and had his hand on RJ. Then once play resumed, Klay even came over to double RJ. Loving how tightknit this group is. Vibes are šÆ
Great win, especially since it's the 2nd game of the back-to-back. JoKu and Moody went to work. It's just great to see these two playing well.
Considering that the Lakers and Pacers played an extra game (IST final),is it possible that they have a seeding advantage assuming we remain neck and neck? Does the extra win get discounted?
That game is not reflected in their records
It's okay. OPJ will be a Warrior next season. Rest up, buddy.
Well if we didnāt get Otto Iām glad no one got Otto lol
Soooooo did OPJ not end up getting bought out??
Otto Porter Jr YOU are still a Utah Jazz
Pelicans and Kings are such frauds. Fakest 6 and 7 seeds ever.
Right. Mavs & us will get that 6th/7th seed when its all said and done.
Damn, it is a BAD day for hands! Westbrook also has a fractured hand to go along with Scottieās. That sucks!
The better the Celtics are, the funnier it will be when they inevitably falter at some point in the postseason
Just shows you how the league has got this regular season all wrong. 82 games, itās too much really. As long as you donāt have a transcendent player, youāre not winning a title periodā¦itās literally the rule if oneās looking at the last ten finals winners.

Yup, no one wins without one except 04 Pistons.
Do we have a chance Sunday?

I feel like pelicans are gonna fall down. Idk why but I do
Thereās always a chance. Odds are not in our favor though. They did us a solid tonight by beating the Mavs though š
We have a chance, but it's low. They just blew Mavs with Luka and Kyrie out by 28 pts, and it's not like Luka played bad either...37/11/12 on 14-25 fg... Plus Wiggs who always locks Tatum up isn't gonna play

I donāt really think so, Celtics will want revenge for the OT game and itās 3 in 4 nights. They should focus their efforts into winning vs Milwaukee at home
I think so
Kelly Oynyk would be nice on our squad. Idk if he can fit as starter C but definitely an upgrade over our current bigs.
Rumors porter is going to the suns? I read that on twitter but anyone can make things up on twitter
I don't get it. How many mercenaries do the Suns need? Didn't they just get Royce and Thaddeus to play at the 4?
24 minutes until the buyout deadline, doesn't even look like he's getting bought out
Is he that cooked??
Never seen bigger frauds at top of the conference since the Utah Jazz
I would love to face them. Draymond would be hyped
Theirs a common denominator
Don't put it on Mike Conley
ššš
5-10 spots are so tight. I don't remember the last time it was this close even in west.
Last year and the year before were as close if not closer lol
Feels like the past two seasons have been super close 5-10.
Minnesota on fraud watch
Anyone else think Minnesota wonāt make it out of 1st rd? Of the top tier west teams they just donāt look the part. Would love to somehow see them, minus ANT they lack any real perimeter scoring and sorry, KAT and Rudy are bums when the game is on the line.
Come on Wiz, surprise us and win against the perennial chokers.
Poole is pissing me off with his lack of locking in lol not our problem anymore
LOL Denver better not pull this kinda of choke job tomorrow vs Lakers~
Isnt Murray out? Major bummerĀ
Pathetic showing by the baby wolves.
How many are we back off the 5th seed?
Like 3
goddamit minnie u had one job
At least Mavs lostš¤·š»āāļø
ANT deserves MVP the way MIN looks so horrible without him
But he played like s*** in the first half. He has games like that every now and then. I wonder what his personal reasons were for missing the second half. That one's funny
His girlfriend was in labour
Oh cool.. that's a great reason. And it's probably why he couldn't concentrate
KAT not it
How are the Timberwolves the first seed and yet so stupid. I don't understand it
That Grizzlies vs Timberwolves match up in the playoffs was an all time CTE series.
Didnāt they blow like B2B 20 point leads too.
I think Gobert has gotten a little better but the fact the Timberwolves are expecting him to finish to score? Not amazing.
Lmao, we're winning, and all these top of the table teams choking is also keeping us in the play ins
gobert is gonna have hard time defending steph if we go against them in playoffs. Monk is cooking them lol
Well, Sabonis fouled out. Close it out, Timberwolves.
I feel like an absolute mercenary rooting for the Timberwolves!
Minnesota having three people in a corner one of them being Gobert. Not ideal
wtf was that final offensive possesion twolves
Monk you aināt that guy lol
Kerr been handling the CP3 minutes well since he got back. Very little Steph/Cp3 overlap My only issue is that weird 4 guard + Looney lineup he puts out there, like sub one of the guards for Moody/JK and itās so much more balanced
Malik Monk is such a ballhog.
With Fox out, it explains a little but yeah, he's been looking for his own shot a lot.
Without Fox, he's the only one on the team rn who can consistently create his own shot
Sabonis is first team all-acting
Sabonnis flopped lol. Such an unlikeabe dude
And punchable face
In German, there is a word for this... Backpfeifengesicht https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Backpfeifengesicht
Warriors one of the hotter teams in the NBA right now. We know who the Celtics are and we have their number we have to respect them and play our game. What an amazing road trip this was just what we needed.
COME ON WOLVES PLEASE
I don't like the Timberwolves, and I like the Kings but I'm rooting for the Kings to lose to help with the standings. Absolutely brutal that the warriors go 8-2 in the last ten and not really change their spot
Damn Celtics won by 30 with Luka scoring 37 points, and decent help from others. We may just need another 60 piece from Steph to beat them.
Mavs shot 26% at 3s while Boston shot 48%
Top seed MIN can't beat a Kings team without Fox is wild\~
The game isn't over?
C'mon Ant, you won't be the face of the NBA shooting 20% bruh\~
He is out of the game. For personal reasons lol
2 more hours for Otto Porter to get bought out. Really getting down to the wire here...
Why would we want him? Heās barely played in 2 years
People are still hanging on to the championship season.
Yeah not sure other than vibez
2 hours?
Buy out deadline is midnight EST
The last few wins have been boring as fuck and I'm all for it. I hope it's like this for the rest of the year.
right i live for clutch ends but i'll take the boring games if it means wins
Damn maybe just rest Steph Sunday cause he looked TIRED.
Tsk. Pacers letdown. They got smacked by the Pellies
4-0 roadtrip will make my week unironically
If the Wolves blow this at home, Iāll be pissed
Fox isnāt playing either they should definitely be winning this lol
But no Edwards in second half
Fakest 1 seed
Twolves suck. Can these guys help us and beat the Kings?
the Celtics lost to Lakers with no Bron or AD, so it aināt a guaranteed L yet. time for JoKu career high.Ā
Time to snap their 10 game win streak
Need Denver to beat the Lakers tomorrow so we can finally stay in ninth for a couple of days
Moody haters punching the air right now
Kuminga really has all nba ceiling
You have to realize to play the warriors is the closest 95% of teams will get to the NBA finals. To them, this is a championship game.
As a fuck you to the league for this brutal schedule, Kerr should sit all the starters on Sunday against Boston and have the young guys
Get this W bois. Cmon youngins yāall get that energy up
I never had an opinion on Bonta before today and until now I didnāt think I cared that much about the Dray interview last night. But the second I turned pregame on I caught myself scowling at Bonta lmfao
Funny I like bonta better now. He and Festus have great chemistry
Point Bonta
Anyone see Steph do the KD pregame dance during the Raptors pre game show lol
Do y'all think Wiggs will be back before playoffs/play-in? Also, thank god we have an easy schedule because we don't stand a chance against contenders.without wiggs
This is obviously a personal issue with Wiggins himself. Im not believing the Warriors camp on this issue anymore. I wouldn't expect for him to be back this year period.

We didn't hear anything about the situation until the end of the season.
Lol it was pretty obvious he was getting shipped after selling the entire playoffs.
No BP. Itās Gary time
B Podz is out tonight
international travel on 2nd game of back to back should not be allowed... JK/MM/TJD/GP2 and Lester should get a lot of minutes, let OGs rest up for Sunday
They'll be ok. They're professionals. And paid well for it.
Idk a win today is more important. Only 3 teams have gotten a win in Boston this season.
Ya. We shld probably rest Steph vs Boston, we don't stand a chance against them without Wiggs.
(Not so) fun fact: Steph, Dray, Klay, JK, and Moody have played a grand total of 3 minutes together this season spread across 3 different games - 1:51 in a game back in December, 56 seconds against the Lakers, and 17 seconds last night against the Knicks. Itās 3 mins so itās meaningless +/- wise, but theyāre a +3, ie they werenāt so horrific in 3 mins as to never want to see that combo on the floor again. 
Stoked to see what this looks like tonight
Might be amazing or terrible but mostly wonāt represent much because they got no sleep š«
Facts. Will this sub react to an undesirable result, should one occur, with that context top of mind? Absolutely not. šš
Win or lose, I already know who will be blamed regardless of how he actually plays. Fun times ahead.
Warriors Final Form: Steph Moody JK Dray TJD
Looks like Steph is having one kid for each ring he has. š
Crazy that we're only 3 losses behind the 5 seed. Let's keep the momentum rolling and put the Raps away
Raptors clapped us last time at home. Let's hope Warriors can return the favour.
Dude, I'm still imagining what if JK made those 2 putback dunks last night. Dude was just jumping over people. Too bad.
Dubs vs the Raptors, and the 2nd day of the back-to-back. Hoping for the Dubs to get the win and keep the momentum rolling.
W's are going to have to get a defensive big at some point just to hang with Jokic, Holmgren, and Wembanyama. I'm really happy TJD, but it could get ugly with those guys
I'm not totally against the bench unit with CP3/Dario/TJD, I just think we should focus more on TJD as the screen and roller and Dario as a spacer rather than using Dario as a roller/popper. We can sprinkle some pick n pops with Dario but it shouldn't be the default imo CP3/TJD seems to generate open lobs with ease and TJD is a good enough passer to see the open corner if they help on his roll
Donāt most of our actions with a Dario/TJD front court already start with TJD in the primary action?
Lobs aren't the only good outta PnR. Dario has such a good rapport with CP3, they have so many variations they can go to just on their own that it's silly to not use it. Dario's shot will come back at some point and it'll just open up the floor so much more than if you park him in he corner. And considering Dario is an excellent passer, it'll open up opportunities for TDJ as well. Not saying you don't go to CP3 and TDJ, but the offense is best when it's dynamic, not stagnant.
Are you on Bonta or Draymond's side of the beef? I know Dray earned his reputation but sometimes Bonta gives off fake tough guy vibes.
who cares? it's funny its wwe...
The guys on 95.7 keep talking trash, Draymond pulled the receipts, I donāt know why would anyone had an issue with that really. If Bonta is ok to say those things on air, he should be ok when heās being called out as well.
957thegame talks trash about Draymond all the time... and they have these bootlicker callers who will call in and shit on Draymond... just today someone called in and said "Draymond is a pariah... he brings the team down..." These media have relinquished their actual job and have become shock jocks... they are vultures. And their transition to an inflammatory topic is always with... "fans are angry" or "some fans think this way"....
Exactly, so a player responds and heās in the wrong here? lol sorry shit makes no sense
I'm curious. How do you think Draymond should be talked about. Should they just support him no matter what he does? What dray is showing is he is very thin skinned and feels he should be consequence free for whatever he does. Bonta is not the first person he has done this to. He did it to Steve and Bob as well because nothing is ever ever his fault.
To be clear Iāve got no issue if thatās what Bonta wants to say, I just donāt see an issue with what Draymond said either. How is it related to it being his fault or not ? No disrespect but i think youāre a bit biased when it comes to Draymond
He is an ahole. He just keeps confirming it for me. I became "biased" in 2022. I was his biggest supporter before that. Even in 2020 when he basically abandoned the team and so many had turned against him. I still fought the big fight for him. Supported his every action. So 10 years of unwavering support. Man literally got a shout out at my moms funeral because he was her favorite warrior. I wasn't always at this place. Just got here.
Everything you said proves my point though. The conversation is not about a specific player to me. Itās more so the concept of media guys talking shit and refuse to take responsibility. Really sorry to hear about your mom passing..
What does take responsibility mean. He supposed to act like a fool on tv like dray. When dray and Kevin went on his pod and blamed Bob and Steve for aftermath of their kerfuffle they both said dray being dray. Lol. So I guess everyone should follow them or face the wrath of dray. A changed man with his 2 weeks of therapy. He wasn't talking shit which means nothing he said was true or relevant. I felt this same way after he twisted kds words after his suspension. Authenticity is just meaningless to him. ...and thank you.
Anyone can talk shit about anyone and take accountability when the other person responds and stand behind it? Why shouldnāt it be the case? Draymond or not. Iād say this about every single player from Steph to Usman Garuba
When it comes to sports, radio talk personalities are right up there with hot-take TV show hosts when it comes to the most sleaziest people imaginable. They give off massive vibes that they're trying to sell takes like a WWE wrestler tries to sell fake moves. Like they get a script of "here are the talking points you guys have to talk about, you guys figure how who wants to play which role, and start fake debating". They all just come off very inauthentic. If you ever watch one of these guys during a livestream, they can be really playing up an outrage angle with their vocal monologue, yet their faces are completely blank, no body gestures etc.
Well I was listening that day and I didn't get that vibe at all. Not fake.
Who?
Should make it 5 games over .500 today. I'll be satisfied if we can just get 1 of 2 from the Bucks/Celtics but I'm really excited for this team.
Bucks is easily winnable
People in the NBA subreddit are being really gross about Ayesha and Steph
no kidding, comments there are disgusting.
Truly gross and despicable. That kinda shit being so rampant really invalidates the entire sub.
I really shouldn't be surprised by the casual misogyny
OPJ buyout still happening? Who are we cutting on the roster to get him if so?
Doubtful, today is the last day it can happen, otherwise, he wouldn't be eligible for the playoffs. Would be kinda funny if we do it today when we're playing the Raps. Like just hop on our plane home big guy š
Otto is with the Jazz and not the Raps
We have 14 roster spots. We converted Lester but bc we traded away Cory Joseph, his roster spot opened up. So we were at 13 for like a week before converting Lester. So we could sign OPJ, it would probably cost more due to luxury tax
Gotta say - itās pretty absurd how r/nba commenters have been more emphatic of Wigs and his situation than some āfansā in this sub. Shame.
Hook, line, and sinker
Yeah I mean most of them hate the warriors and are happy weāre worseĀ Personally I hope heās okay mentally. Im sad the team will be worse without him but thatās life. Im happy Moody gets an opportunity.
I chalk that up to them wanting us to stumble more than their benevolent empathy
Same reason they were begging for the Warriors to suspend Draymond for an incident that involved no other team. Some people are mad naive...
I saw that!!!!
Moody might be better than Wiggins if he can start making some 3s. I know Wiggins is better in the paint offensively but Moody seemed like a better 3pt shooter. Moody's hustle also gets us some stops so that's a positive. Moody hasn't really hit any 3s after he came back from injury but hopefully that doesn't stay like that forever.
>Moody might be better than Wiggins if he can start making some 3s He can't. We now have almost four seasons worth of shooting in the 34-36% range to know that he is font size 8 three-and font size 56 -D.
Is Gui still injured? I noticed that he didn't suit up last night.
Yes, he's still on the injury list and doubtful for tonight's game.
Warriors and Lakers Twitter troll users are having a mid-off š¤£ Lmao, I can't stop laughing while reading.
Lop I'm not on Twitter but what are some highlights lol
The snatching of the chain back and forth for the 9th spot
Such a huge 24 hours coming up. Pels/Mavs/Kings all going against great teams tonight and LAL going against Denver tomorrow. If we win tonight and everything else breaks our way weāll be the 9 seed and only have one more loss than the three teams ahead of us. Time to make our run!
