Kerr finally got Podz arse down. GP2 did so much better.

So what does it say about the "Franchise"?

Kerr played 11 players, 10 of them had at least 8 1/2 minutes in the game.

great game by Butler, all nba level.
if Hield remains this hot we will be hard to beat.
defense needs to get better cant wait for Moody to come back.

Warriors looked fresher in the 4th.

Hopefully JK realizes that this box score is the way to get 30M.

24/2/2 isn’t.

This LAL is not the AD LAL. So glad he is gone.

Kuminga mostly played within the offense tonight, a few forced shots which are fine from now and then, but if he's going to play this way all year, he could end up being in GS for a long time. Maybe knowing he can get paid while playing team ball has helped his mindset.

Jimmy was super solid. JK played a really good game, including rebounding, shooting, and passing. One of his best games IMO. Buddy provided heat off the bench. Overall, a really nice team win, over a Lakers team without Lebron.

We've already begun the Kuminga cycle.

He either plays like **** and we want him gone or he plays like this and he becomes untouchable. There's never a scenario where he is good enough to be a trade asset but not so good we decide we can't trade him for anyone except Giannis.

It's up to Kuminga, he's talented but has played selfishly which doesn't work within the GS. If he plays within the offense, with his talent he'll be a very good player for this team and fans/coaches/teammates will be fine with him having bad nights. Wiggins was selfish/wanting to be the main guy in Minnesota but when traded to GS changed his mind set and game and ended up being loved. Kuminga is in the same boat, the talent is there, it's just about either playing his role or needing to be moved. If Kuminga continues to play this way he will get better in this offense, GS won't move him and the future won't be so bleak. If he goes back to being selfish, the talent is still there but it probably would be best to move him for the betterment of this current team.

Jk played a lot like he did in the handful of games before the injury. We'll see if he can keep up the energy when the 3pt shot isn't falling as much

Good to get the W on opening night against the Lakers in LA!

LOL, JK played a great game and hardly a positive comment in the thread!

Jimmy gets the best whistle I have ever seen.

Podz can't keep his man in front of him to save his life.

Al looked rough at times.

Hopefully Moody and Melton can get healthy and help JK with the POA D.

Steph played 32 minutes and it stood out to me how easy those minutes were, especially compared to last year. Only 14 fga but 8 ftas and outside some scuffling with smart, Steph was never out of 2nd gear.

Basically a wire to wire win, on opening night, on the road, in LA (where we typically struggle), while Steph kinda coasted. Luka was unconscious the entire night and it did not matter one bit...

If we stay healthy.....

Draymond praises Kuminga a good amount for Kuminga's play in his post-game interview.

Yeah lets trade for Herro, who's looking for $40 million plus in the next season or two, so he can chuck all game long.
