One bright side this year to losing to these bad teams .. at least we’ll have most of the tie-breakers for playoff seeding against teams near us in the standings. Could be a very big deal this year!

Just utter joy watching this comeback. Finchy coached his butt off. Such a great effort, starting to really love the fight in this team.
Rivers, slomo, Jaden, Prince. Even Luka, who couldn't make a shot tonight, was a screen setting and wall building machine.

And Naz Reid, my word so much skill! Now I want to extend him and worry about making the money work later.
He needs some work with a shooting coach, his balance is all kinds of messed up right now.
Also should watch lots of tape of Draymond using his body and moving his feet defensively, that's his next step to improvement, he has the agility to be that kind of defender.

Dubs looked gassed at the end. We ran the old dudes off the court! 43 pts given up in the 2nd half/OT, once they quit making crazy shots we had them.

Starting to get really really annoyed with Ant and the constant "Hey!" every time he even sniffs a foul call.
Getting to be Thibs barking level irritating or Monica Seles playing tennis (for those gen X and older).
I can imagine how the refs feel after 3 or 4 HEY!!!s. Not the right way to go about it.

And Russell, this one clearly meant a lot to him. Absolute fire there in the 4th.
Such a lethal shooter when he is set and has good balance.

I mean if we shoot a mere 60% in game 2 of the kings, we’re 5-0 in this crucial stretch

Turn overs hurts more than miss FTs. GSW has 17 and Wolves only has 11 (6 by Ant). He need to clean that up.

I won’t argue that since FTs usually are nothing to worry about.

But I’m saying they shot horrifically as a team that game. If even 1 goes in, there’s no OT and the wolves beat Sac twice. Gobert 5-10? Ant and Dlo a combined 1-7? Anomaly for those 2

I'm starting to get annoyed by the amount of contact Ant regularly takes at the rim compared to other premier guards with similar propensities to drive to the rim and the massive gap in FTA compared to those groups.

You know what has been nice recently?

KAT not committing 2 or 3 offensive fouls / hooks / charges per night.

PS. Kuminga is a dumbass and DLo > Wiggins.

GS drafting has been something else lately. Wiseman, Kuminga and Moody. If they took guys taken right after those players they would have Lamelo Ball, Franz Wagner and Kispert Or Trey Murphy III.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Naz called game and dunked on the defending champs, Naz is a luxury to have this season with both Gobert and Towns sitting out games. Hope they extend him and don't trade him away, don't sell high!

Ready for heartbreak tonight when Ant doesn't make it. It's a damn shame too. He's been everything for this team.
