Absolutely. Spo phucked up bad last night overplaying Jagsmith and shelving Niko.

Love seeing Jaime find his mojo on this b2b. Kid had been STRUGGLING all season. He looks like it's slowly coming back. Loved seeing him finally nail a corner 3 ball too - he needs that in his game badly.

Niko has found his role this year. He has his flaws (lack of vert, defensive footspeed, finishing ability inside) but man, he's a unique proposition at 6'10" and able to pass and handle the way he can. The 6th man role suits him perfectly right now - come in, handle the rock and find your spots and set guys up. It wasn't working in the first 5 - his role was essentially screen and sit in the corner. He's much more aggressive coming off the bench and the team is better for it.

Would be nice to find a vet starting 4 to take over for Highsmith in the starting lineup. Just a placeholder type. Tobias Harris might not be so bad

Good to see others get involved when Herro is off. Rozier still sucks

This Dubs team is not very good. Even with Jimmy, they'd still probably not win anything.

They need to pick a direction. Stuck in no mans land honouring the legacy of their champions, but it's Steph and a bunch of nobodies out there right now.

They need to do that 3 way with 6ers. Bring in Paul George. One last hurrah.

The offense does run smoother without Jimmy when it is humming. The question was always whether the defense would hold up and who gets crunch time buckets in a tight game. It seems like maybe Spo is slowly figuring it out.

Payton and Kuminga are key players that did not play.

If I'm the Dubs and I want to make a final run with Steph and Draymond, I'd have to look at Butler.

Kuminga, Wiggins, Payton, Looney, Podz and an unprotected FRP for Jimmy and JRich. Send it in.
