Game 63, Spurs at Warriors, 5:30 PM PST

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

As of 24 hours ago no Curry, no Wemby.

Warriors should win these two games against the Spurs without Curry if they want the 6th seed.
Spurs are a bad team. If we can’t beat the Spurs without Curry then we can’t win a playoff series with Curry.

Wemby also out with a sprained ankle.

No Wemby means they should win this

[Sleepy51]

Klay should sit and rest.

It all comes down to Draymond. Historically this is the kind of game he would phone in with Steph out, or take a self induced ejection if he bothered to suit up. But he owes the team so many games from suspension can he hold his together and compete in a game without Steph?

I hate to say "must win game" in early March, but it kind of is.

I wouldn't say he has been a model citizen, but it has felt to me like Draymond is really making an effort since his suspension. As someone who was more than fed up with him, have you seen a difference?

A difference or a meaningful one?

Sure I've seen him compose himself a couple of times. But I've also see him ranting at refs the same way he did before. And he's bashing Brook Lopez in the dome on tip off.

A month of therapy ain't changing anybody. He's still flawed character. Frankly, if he were all of a sudden in control of his outbursts it would add insult to injury, meaning this could have all been solved a long time ago. That's obviously not the case.

Warriors clearly were an alot worse team without Draymond.
Draymond set the NBA all time plus minus record in 2016 with 2016 Curry taking the NBA all time 2nd best plus minus.

That's all true, but has nothing to do with what I asked.

I asked because I also didn't expect any difference, and so far I'm pleasantly confused by the difference I've seen. I'm not confident it will last, but so far I feel like there has been a pretty substantial difference. You make a fair point: if he *could* turn this on and off like a switch, he really should have done it before it came to this.

I'm really enjoying it while it lasts, but I'll be pretty surprised if he doesn't slide back into the old Draymond over time.

There's a philosophical principle for what you're experiencing. Call it Draymond's Razor. Absent various unlikely explanations for Draymond's current change of behavior, your default expectation remains that he's still bat poop crazy and that his insanity will wait to rear its ugly head until the absolute most inopportune time - most likely during some pivotal moment in the playoffs.

I’ll flip the question. Have you seen moments where he’s reverted to being out of control?

I have.

[Onus]

And of course Kerr starts cp3 though tjd comes in for Wiggins.

Cp/podz/jk/dray/tjd

Is q the back up pg now?

[Onus]

If the game is close does Draymond get kicked out now that Steph is out?

[Crazy-Canuck]

They should just let wiggins go back to be with his dad if they aren't going to play him.

[Crazy-Canuck]

With cp3 and podz starting, q is back up pg?

[Onus]

They should just let wiggins go back to be with his dad if they aren't going to play him.

Maybe they’re ramping him up … cp needs a roller

[Onus]

Spurs scared they’re going to win. So they sit vassell. Lmao

Lol, pop saw that line up and made the move. Coincidence or just helping out his protégé?

[Crazy-Canuck]

Gp2 out again.
