Is Jimmy playing? this is really the first test for the Jimmy era. My hope is Warriors, having played down to garbage teams, come out firing and impress the league with a Knicks thrashing.

Jimmy isn't on the injury list so I assume he's playing. However, Steph is still a gametime decision, GP2 is out, and Kuminga (as expected) is still out. So this one is looking pretty rough, really need big games from some of the young guys (Moody and Podz and Post), Hield not gunning them into the ground, a non-drunk, non-whining performance from Draymond (and please stop with the damn replay demands), and generally no mistakes. If the Dubs do manage to keep it close somehow, all those little stepping out of bounds, over-aggressive down-court passes, missed free throws, late on a rotation, forgot to box out, blown layups will lose you the game.

GP2 is out. I guess Butler will have to guard Brunson most of the time.

Anunoby hasn't missed a shot. They are doing a good job on Brunson though.

I hope this lineup is a stroke of genius. Don’t think so.
