Jk was positive for the game and played important 1on1 D against Vic and contested him well.

Klay was a net negative per usual

These two are not the same. Lumping them together is dumb and lazy.

Loved the effort from all the young guys tonight....it's only the Spurs but the Dubs needed the W.

They were both volume guys. 43 points and 39 shots.

You just lumped them together again. JK was 50.0% TS%, Klay was 42.8% TS%. Neither spectacular, but not the same. Being a "volume" guy isn't the worst thing when you're relatively efficient and your team desperately needs scoring.

In this game:
JK ts% is 58%
Klay ts% is 48%

Can you imagine Klay on Kyrie ... yikes, but he should be fine guarding everyone else. I do feel like Kerr should switch up the starting line up again. Maybe at some point he'll find the right combinations. Keep throwing **** at the wall and something will eventually stick.

I think at some point last game it was Podz, Moody, GP2, Wiggins, TJD? The defense was soo good! More of that please

The starters weren't good again. But I think most of that can be attributed to dray being so bad on both sides of the ball. His head wasnt in it at all and kept trying to force passes to klay.

Tjd is a good match up for gafford. I think he might start.

Luka/Irving vs klay/jk should be an interesting match up. Jk should hunt Irving on switches.

Mavs just crushed the same bulls team we lost to.

Klay’s 4 something rebounds per 36 minutes is kind of average for an NBA guard.
All Warriors guards that actually play rebound better than Klay but all the other Warriors guards rebound better than an average NBA guard.

Klay defending power forwards probably would not work for rebounding but at least power forwards would not be driving past Klay.
Kuminga is a below average rebounder for a power forward.

90% of his rebounds are uncontested and his often in good position to rebound because he isnt a poa defender.. 4 rebounds per game doesn't tell the whole story.

Klay was on Wemby a lot, especially when they went zone and Klay was on the low block.

They used Harrison Barnes on Zach Randolph that way many years ago.

The idea was that he could at least push back. And that everyone else were smarter help defenders.
