A game that went from being an important benchmark to where we stand.. to a bit messy

KP is out. Would have been a great test for Kuminga who has lived, nearly exclusively, in the paint the past 2 games, but has yet to prove it against a big shot-blocking presence. Horford remains and the Celts D is overall tough, but KP is the big eraser

On the Warriors side, not sure if its been announced yet, but Steph is heavily trending towards being out. Likely puts CP3 in the starting lineup.. this can also upset the bench squad of CP3/Saric/Klay. On the plus side, Moody might be a big benefactor as CP3 is the best perimeter passer on the team by far, and thats where he thrives. The rest is pretty much negatives - Moody had been doing better with the starters, JK has been doing more with his cuts and is losing his best spacer, Q likely gets minutes.. rough on top of rough

Good game to test the mettle of the team. We'll see how seriously they take it... but it sure is feeling like a Draymond getting T'd up kinda game

With Wiggins....great matchup for Warriors. Without him....rough.

But it will be fun to see how Moody does against Tatum.

I'm far more worried about CP3/Klay vs Jrue/White than I am about Moody and JK taking on their stars.. I get the feeling that they'll take turns on those guys unless one of them starts having a lot of success, at which point would be foolish to move Moody or JK off them

Tatum would be a rough matchup for Moody though. Moody does great when he can use his length to his advantage. But 6'5/7' going against 6'8/6'11.5 kinda negates that. Not much better with JB either (6'6/7)

We actually beat them last game without Wiggins. We def need Steph though

wow didn't know the game was on at 12:30pm.

Steph IS expected to play!

Kp out. Steph is also expected to play. Bp out

Wow.. Vegas rarely gets it wrong. Welp great that Steph is in, gives us a much better chance

So the wounded Steph on JB to start and JB has 5 quick points

Good start

Interesting game plan to just let jb shoot 3s

Klay already taken 3 terrible shots, luckily one went in

Steph's been pretty bad defensively to start.. Klay not good. The other 3 have been excellent

Looking like Steph should’ve sat this one out

yup, or at least has to adjust and be a decoy until he get a wide open shot to get him going

Q looking way better than Klay too... the fall continues

Maybe guard Jaylen Brown?

So letting JB shoot wide open 3s certainly was a choice

This is going to get ugly. Maybe make other plans for the rest of this one people. Good time to catch up on my chores.
