good win. suns will likely keep falling and we just need pelicans to be the same.. But that 6th seed is pretty tough unless we beat Denver, NY and Boston in the next week.

If the Ws are going to make any noise in the playoffs, they needed to thump a Bronless Laker team at home. By the 2nd half it was clear the Lakers wouldn't have juice to make it a contest.

Ws did what they needed to do, not really much else compelling about this game.

Who knew it was Jerome Robinson that was untouchable this whole time.

We got lucky to start the 4th.

That unit looked horrible out there and only got bailed out by wiggins. We could easily be in clutch time. I assume wiggins is just standing in for cp3 who shoukd help unlock saric, klay, and thd.

Jerome Robinson has a higher trade value than Schifino.

With the Warriors depth, it seems clear our plan is to run the other team off the court every night and it might just work.

Congrats Warriors fans, we've successfully fought our way through the dumpster fire part of the season.

Not sure how much running we do when cp3 gets back. The bench trio of cp3, klay, and saric aren't what you would call fleet of foot.

I think it's more about everyone realizing there's no excuse to take plays off to conserve energy because there's someone on the bench that will give 100% every play. I honestly have no idea what that looks like once CP3 gets back. We're in totally uncharted territory when that happens.

Isn't it amazing when Kerr plays Moody and TJD....suddenly Warriors can rebound and defend the rim AND have a lob threat.

If Kerr doesn't play these guys going forward ..... :banghead:

TJD is not ready for more than what Kerr gives him yet. The game hasn't slowed down for him, still a step slow, still a rookie.


The game has always been slow for TJD. That might be his biggest strength as a rookie. You might as well be saying his hands are too small and that his dad's don't have enough experience in professional sports.

What? No, I'm saying the game moves too fast for him right now. He can rim run and it's great but he's a mess on defense. He shouldn't be in against the best team's starters. As long as he's playing against the other team's bench he can be a net positive.

I think current Klay is a slightly better passer than peak Klay was. Neither peak Klay nor Current Klay are good passers.

But when Klay is passing to Trayce J Davis Klay looks like a good passer. This makes no sense. Klay should a good passer when passing to Curry and Draymond because he played with them forever but Klay does his best passing when passing to Trayce.

There is no reason why Klay should be a better passer when passing to Trayce. Is Trayce Klay’s little brother that he is always looking for?

I'm saying the game doesn't move to fast. He fits right in. He has great awareness and control. It's extremely impressive.

He's a poor defender. He can't keep up with actions, particularly out of the PnR. How you don't notice that I can't explain.

We won the rebounding battle 60 to 51 despite Kuminga only having 3 rebounds.

Moody is only bench quality at this point. He really needs to work on his three point shooting and his play making to move up the ladder.

That doesn’t excuse Kerr for not giving him minutes over other players. Saric, Klay, Looney are mid at best now, but they are granted minutes more for personal reasons. If they don’t turn it around, their minutes should be limited during the playoffs. Moody and TJD should get more reps leading up to the playoffs. I don’t think either Moody or TJD will be completely ready by playoffs, but they should help in spot situations and lineups.
