Exactly. Lue is just seeing what the main playoff rotation would look like. Mann and Kennard will get minutes as we have numerous back to backs coming up on the schedule.


-Mann with two blocked shots. This dude is hungry!

Mann with 3 impressive blocks. His confidence is through the roof.

You can tell Mann spends most of his time with Pat...lol If he can be a 6'6 Pat Bev, that'll be a damn good player for the future

Yep, second half of the season is when sh*t gets serious and we get to see if we're really going to be in the championship mix or not. That's why I gave a pass here and there during the first half of the season. Now sh*t is real. Hopefully we can get on a roll. Good start tonight

Kennard has been looking much better out there

Meh. It's been two games, one of them against a lottery team with a terrible defense that we still lost to, the other one where he's only played in garbage time with a huge lead. Not impressed.

Wiseman has been COOKING Zubac, as usual. Sigh. What a garbage player.

I loved the defensive intensity, and it was nice to see Kennard.. sorta have a good shooting game.

IMO this game says way more about how awful the Warriors are other than Steph, but still I loved the effort. I'd have liked to see Wiseman in the starting lineup, but still it's good to see effort from everyone.


We really are going to have to get dragged to the final by Kawhi, my god. PG is fine but his role should be "STARTER" not star. Still loving Morris's shot and Ibaka was huge for us as well.

moving on. Nice to get a relatively nice win though. Poor Steph

Then people will complain that he's not attacking...lol


No, he just needs to be a spot up shooter and play defense. Play the role of STARTER not STAR despite his contract.

Lou was also helpful this game. This team at times is so inept offensively we can't trade him unless it's for someone (plus 2 others) at good value offensively.

no he hasn't. its against 3rd team backups. And his shot is still inconsistent and defense poor. It's **** stupid as hell we gave him Morris money BEFORE PLAYING A SINGLE GAME.

The situation is crazy going forward.
Beverly out again and Kennard not in the main rotation. Then Mann is unknown

When are we making a trade.

This was like playing a G league team (with no Wiseman, till the 4th where he destroyed Zubac). The Pelicans are another bad team, but after Van Gundy called the loss to the Twolves, "embarrassing" maybe they'll show up against us.

Paul George continues to be an absolute nightmare and I am dreading him in the playoffs. The ultimate front runner.


We desperately need a PG. Paul George cannot be our PG on the 2nd team, he has bad handles and is a sloppy passer. A great shooter (sometimes) yes, but we should have really gotten a max guard to pair with Kawhi.

And it's not for lack of effort. I think everyone is playing together and buying into Ty Lue. We just dont' have the talent but at least defensively we show heart.

Huh? 20 mpg rookie Wiseman being out takes the Warriors from a .500 team to a G-League team? That's a wild take if I've ever heard one, lol

I like it. It's hard to manage minutes all season long and then ask Kawhi and PG to play 45 minutes in a decisive playoff game. The team also seemed to physically tire out in the second half of those Nuggets game in addition to just playing like ****. I hope we continue to see Lue sprinkle in games like this.
