Warriors are fortunate to have built up a strong win column before this disaster slide we are in. I'm just hoping the team can stay above .500 and MDJ finds us a trade for some scorers and defense.

Game's mostly only going to be interesting to see how Kerr adapts to not having Wiggins in... most similar player is likely Moody. If he's serious about keeping JK in with the starters and consistency, I would think Moody starts

More likely: JK moves to SF and Dray starts and we go through that whole thing, again

Would like to see this lineup except with Moody in place of GP2.

lol he's getting so damn close

and to be fair, Wiggins is out tonight so he couldnt have been ideal even if he wanted to. But this lineup with Wiggins in for GP2? That's one of 2 lineups I think that's ideal, maybe even the most ideal. I only have Looney as the ideal C because I didnt think starting Dray at C was on the table

But Curry/Hield/Wiggins/JK/Dray or Curry/Hield/Wiggins/Dray/Looney are the top 2 for me. Starting halves with the latter and finishing with the former is something I'd love to see consistently

If he just subs looney and dray based on matchups he’d have it but I don’t think he coaches that way.

Hopefully we’re able to get buddy to hit some shots and this takes off.

Heild finally starting and it's incredibly hard to lose to the same team b2b, especially at home.

Letz go. Primer before our cup match.

It may be hard to lose a b2b, but I have faith in Kerr. :roll:

Steph still doesn't look right. Either the injury or just father time.

Way, way less motion with the starters with JK out there

He missed an open Hield in the corner and went at Gobert instead... he saw GP2 there a little bit later but its GP2, so who cares. But needs to see Hield and understand whats going on behind him

Other note - Hield's off ball defense is better than I thought, pretty good at recovery

Not sure why they arent running anything for him off Steph.. only one off-ball screen for Steph, and Steph opted to sit and not do anything with it
