Dray is the most unhinged moron in the last few decades of basketball. Don't think anyone is more lucky to land at a team than him in NBA history.

Gutsy win, one of the best of the season.

First of all, why are they load -managing a 21-year old forward, who's the best at putting pressure on the rim? But they play the rest of the team, including several guys well into their 30s?


Draymond, his act is old. Unfortunately, I heard a stat like the Warriors are like 30-40 points better on defense with him on the court, vs. off. Obviously tonight, the Orlando Bricklayers gave warriors a big padding.

But several players dug deep and made a lot of big stops.

Wiggins was the player of the game, pulled some big 3s. As bad as he's shot this season, props to him and the coaches for sticking with it, trying to regain his previous form. For a time it looked like they limited his touches when he was shooting bad and even he deferred, gave up the ball to Podz or JK.

One bad sequence, he tried to Eurostep through Cole Anthony and Anthony muscled him to get a jump ball. But on a couple of other occasions, we went downhill with force, including knocking Mo Wagner back like 5 feet and getting an easy layup.

He needs to put on some muscle though, maybe take some supplements to play more aggro more often. He needs to regain the post game when he was abusing smaller player in the post but hasn't as much this season.


Curry was the closer and had the highest +/-. Still has gravity but his poor shooting since the ASB and his ankle injury continues. Team isn't going to do much until he regains his elite form again.

Moody also played more aggressive but both Moody and Podz almost airmailed two wide open corner 3s. Long season and it was back to back. But team needs such wide open shots to be made at 40% clip or better. These players have to do nothing but shoot 3s in the offseason. They're both young and we've seen plenty of players in the league level up on their 3-point shooting percentage. We've also seen young players never shoot well enough and they never got more than a couple of years extensions.

Just give him the ball and give him screens and you have a star player.



I have 5.5 seasons of evidence that say this is the exact opposite of reality


Minny wiggins wasn't a winning player, you don't want to give him unlimited touches. You also don't want to give him Looney touches which is what has happened this year.

Awesome game. Redemptions all around!


This is what life would have been like if we traded Draymond a year and a half ago, except we would have gotten another pretty good player back who doesn’t leave his teammates on the beach

Because they do the exact opposite of what they should do with Wiggins.
How many times Warriors used Wiggins like I say?

Today is an example, the previous game a bit less and 2022 finals was another example.

I am 100% sure about what I am talking about Wiggins.

There are not many NBA players with Wiggins tools. He just needs to be put in the position to attack and force him to do this.
He is just to good as a personality to force things by himself

He also doesn't have mentality to do this all the time. His aggression wanes.

Klay would be such a good fit on the magic and the magic have a few pieces we could use. Too bad a trade can't happen.

2nd/3rd option Wiggins can be a force on both sides. He's not ideal, but it's probably the best we have.

Moody straight snatched Ingles’ ankle. It was a great 2 for 1 special with Ingles taking out Isaac too lmao

I agree with Steph. That chair sucked.

The Rockets keep winning.

If dubs lost to the magic because of drays antics, the team would have imploded.

Lakers win, Rockets win. Unfortunately, today's win just amounted to treading water.

I wonder if there will finally be some lasting fallout for Draymond's BS. That ejection could have easily cost the Warriors the game. And I'm not too sure Curry kicking the chair wasn't targeting anger at Draymond.
