He’s better than Gui so he can help us.

thats the thing - Santos is a better rebounder , passer and shooter...sometimes not handling the ball is a good thing. You need dog that does the dirty work...

Amazing to see how one player can impact a team. Melton went down, Warriors did not look the same. Butler joins, and the team looks rejuvenated.

So glad to see Moses getting the opportunity to play and shine. He's playing with so much confidence. I've been waiting for this for a while now. It's finally happening. May the force be with you, Moses.

Didn't see the game. Looks like a balanced attack. Moody, Hield, and Podz with more points than both Curry and Butler who also scored respectably. Odd: Curry with 0 plus-minus has the lowest on the team in a decisive win.

I am glad we did a 4 for 1 trade, guys have not been able to breathe the last two years. Such a depth of role players everyone had to be on edge to not end up in the dog house. Now guys can be at peace and just play.

Curry doing a lot of work trying to keep that lineup afloat while the other lineup of podZ buddy Jimmy dray post doing work.

great W.
jimmy is really having an impact on this team.
great game by hield as gunner from the bench (his ideal role on this team) and moody, hopefully he will keep playing this level of basketball and will keep seeing the floor consistently.
if podz could nail at least the uncontensted 3s....he's playing solid overall basketball, both ends, but that shot must fall in if this team wants to have a remote chance to compete. he must shoot the deep ball better and makes the other team paying fro harassing steph, there's no way around it. 2/9 from 3, with few open looks, ain't good.

For sure. 20% of the starting 5, one player can make a huge difference.

Nice game but it’s hard to tell against this kings squad. They miss Fox a lot.

True. But it’s also nice to get the new lineups into a rhythm against squads like the Kings. Bank as many easy wins like this as possible.

We are a better team with Jimmy. The next phase will be integrating JK

one thing I loved was watching Lavine struggle. specifically, he kept switching from Draymond to Butler defending him which was glorious

that's a nasty switch that's going to terrorize guards in the offseason.

As much as I like Wiggins, Jimmy is a major upgrade. Wiggins can't dribble or command the offense that Jimmy can.

If looking at just stats, you think Wiggins is better... but the eye tests say otherwise.

They have to hit the open shots if playing with curry, otherwise curry is doubled and his efficiency also goes down.

In a crowd the Wiggins loses the ball and Jimmy picks up the foul is the difference and the playmaking is better from Jimmy. Wiggins used to be a bail out last option as his passing was not that good.
