I don't understand why they take the violation. Just shoot it, it will take more time off.

[Dalvin]

Arrrroooooo!!! First 3 game win streak of the season!

Is the Thibs dust finally happening?

[Calinks]

Arrrroooooo!!!! Three in a row baby!

Two teams back to back knocked off the hit list!

Revenge is a dish best served cold and brother, it's 8 degrees in Minneapolis right now!


WE STREAKING!!!!!!

Respect, I guess. I like that Ricky took a turnover instead of trying to get an assist or shoot it

[Merc_Porto]

And KAT back to his superstar form. Wow

[Calinks]

Oh yeah baby, arooooooooooo.

So do we still want to fire thibs?

If Thibs is a good coach he'll have LaVine come off the bench upon his return. Rush is just a better fit with the starting unit.

I think Zach will still start. Thibs is looking at the long haul and he wants the pups getting as much exposure together as possible. I wont be mad, but Rush does need to play. Thibs could cut down a couple of minutes from Zach and Wiggins, and Shabazz to make room for Rush.

You can still give him hefty minutes, many teams' sixth men still get lots of minutes and are an integral part of their respective teams. Heck, we just saw one in Kanter. Playing Rubio, Wiggins, and LaVine 35 minutes a game just doesn't work and hasn't for 2 years. Can't just sit around and hope for good things to happen forever.

I will answer when Zach be back.

[Calinks]

Towns post game interview, Marney said "This has been three wins in a row how do you feel about..." And the fans that were there just erupted cheering when she said three wins in a row and Towns just started smiling. The fans are waking up, they are ready!

Rush should start just like kg started.

Lavine is clearly the better player, but do we continue to play the big 3 together to watch them throw away games or do we let ricky, kat, and wiggins experience winning and learning to win games?

That said, i think our play has to be attributed to more than just lavine not playing. This team is just not recognizable now; we look like a team playing for home court advantage in the playoffs.

[Murphs56]

It's probably an absurd thought but LaVine coming off the bench to play with the 2nd unit would probably work well. He can still close obviously.

[Warriors Analyst]

I'm going to slap someone in the mouth if Rush is stuck riding pine again all season when Zach gets back. He doesn't have to start but he needs to play!

As a Warriors fan I am thrilled that Rush is making the most of his minutes. Rush came to the Warriors in 2011-2012 and was on the verge of having a breakout season when Zach Randolph leveled him in the second game of the 2012-2013 season and Rush tore his ACL. He got traded to the Jazz the next year as part of the Iguodala sign and trade and then took a minimum contract with the Warriors during 2014-2015. Rush didn't get rotation minutes and he couldn't hit any open shots, which seemed to be more of a matter of confidence, as he moved around the court fine and still played good D even in garbage time.

Rush finally got to play again last year and the Warriors didn't miss a beat when he started for Barnes during the Warriors 24 game win streak to start the season. I fully believe that if Steve Kerr had turned to Rush when Harrison Barnes melted into a pile of dung on the court during the Finals, the Warriors are repeat champions. Then again, we probably don't have Durant, so maybe this was all for the best...

In any event, I've been keeping up with Rush this year and I'm glad to see he's filling the stat sheet. It looks like he's been blocking shots and getting steals, so I assume his defense is as good as ever?

Jim Pete is pretty much saying why the hell Thibs took so long to put the ball in Rubio hands.

What did he say? I must have missed it.

Big fan of Zach, but I think you may be correct

Disagree, developing chemistry with the big 3 is the most important thing.

There is no big three.

Kat, rubio, and wiggins say hi

Wiggins just doesnt have the vision to make the plays that ricky can.

We are better with rubio leading kat and wiggins rather than watching an iso heavy offense.

Rush at one corner and bjelly at the other is tough to cover for any team when ricky is running double horns with kat and wiggins.
