Game 19: Clippers at Warriors

Man, you guys really think the Clippers are guaranteed a victory tonight? The same Clipper who lost to Denver without Jokic, Murray and Gordon a few nights ago and are playing on a back to back?

I'd go the easy route here and not try and over-think this by putting Kuminga in to guard one of their wings, which then means Saric probably has to start, and on and on and on.

Just go with:

Steph / CoJo
Klay / Podz
Moody / Kuminga
Dray / Saric
Loon / Trayce

Haven't checked any reports, but feels like a game we should have the 2-way guys assigned as well, especially Lester for depth.

honestly wonder if Garuba regrets signing here at this point.. 9-9-2 + 1 stl + 2.5 bpg in just 18 minutes and can't get a call-up? Aside from the rebounding, this isn't even what his strength is, which is defensive versatility/switchability. I've watched 4 of the 6 games in the GL and one thing is extremely clear to me: TJD is more balanced because of his finishing, but Garuba is definitely better overall

In 3 games TJD is at 17-9-3 with 1 stl + 1.3 bpg in 28 minutes

But TJD has the bigger number where it counts: age. 2 full years older than Garuba

Yeah, I think he definitely regrets it, I mean what NBA player doesn't actually want to play in games? Personally I'm bummed out because I really like Garuba, it's frustrating he's seen literally 0 minutes of floor time. I don't want him to go elsewhere but if he's nailed to the bench, what's the point? However, I really like TJD too and he's looking like he's deep in Kerr's doghouse too lately (although he might have been injured for the SA game?)

We need creation from Moody and Podz. This is the time for Kerr to let go of the rope.

It's for real, I heard the interview. He said he made a mistake.

The narrative that Kerr is inflexible, stubborn or blind to the direction Klay is going vs. Moody was never accurate. It's just a matter of Kerr doing what it takes to get everyone to buy in. That includes getting Klay to accept a role off the bench.

And of course, whoever starts, it isn't coming out of Klay's minutes.

I'm expecting to see 2 things tonight.

Steph is going to come out guns blazing, no deferring to klay to massage his ego.
Dray was just too amped last game, he will be much better tonight.

Team will come in with more focus just because of what happened last game.

Hiding behind all of drays shenanigans this year, is his legit 3 pt shooting.

I wonder if Kerr will play Moody more tonight or not. I liked seeing Corey Joseph get some minutes in, but I know Warriors Locked in Podcast hosts were angry at that lol and wanted more Podz which I can't be mad at.

Why wouldnt he? Moody played fine, just didnt have the shot dropping

Podz is so good! He needs to play more. His defense on Kawhi early on isn't bad. He kept a play alive by tipping an offensive rebound. Dude can help us now.
