The good news for Steph is that the League is suspending the CBA, in order to force the Dubs to trade him to a contender & save TV ratings.

The bad news is that the League thinks the Sixers are a contender.

TJD can't even time his jumps right now. I'm tired of watching this bum. I'd rather watch Anthony Lamb right now.

I really don’t understand how tjd misses so many layups and continues to get minutes. Like what is his purpose and role on the floor?

TJD is nothing like his dad. His dad was a mans man. Dude did nothing but play defense & rebound the ball. Trace doesn't have that dog in him like Dale.

Steph, wiggins, loon, and moody. That's it. The only players to show up.

Tjd was by far the worst player in this game and it isn't even remotely close.

Agreed, and that's saying something considering how bad Schroeder was.

For TJD to be like his dad we’d need a steroid version.

We need to figure out the guard issue...when Schroeder / Hield/ Waters show up 20% of the time, you play big!! play Looney Green Wiggins...

I'm going to chalk this down to tired legs. 3rd game in 4 nights. And outside of steph and wiggins, we didn't have the talent to overcome it.

So it got uglier? Crazy

Weirdest thing this year.. heard they wanted Schroder badly, as early as late Nov. Expected price to be high for an expiring.. Same person went on about backup unit strength and moving Podz to SG. When the trade was announced 12/14, thought everything and everyone was on the same page. Its really not worked out that way. Schroder starts on day 1 and goes from running a system that works for him, and on paper works for several other Warriors (Waters, Moody, SloMo, TJD, JK, Hield) to dropping him into a system that requires not only knowing the motion offense, but specifically the Warriors motion offense. Meaning to know exactly what Curry is doing or is going to do and reacting off of that

No trade will fix it, because the Warriors strength was being greater than the sum of their parts. In addition to the top 3 of Curry/Dray/Wiggins, guys like Looney, GP2 and Podz are built that way - versatile, do the dirty work, etc - are the ones who best fit that mold now. The others just dont fit that well.. the expectation can no longer be that the reserves do the same thing as the starters, at least offensively

Back to saying the same things from week 2 of the year - start Hield/Looney, bench (guard who shouldnt start) & TJD. I mean at this stage, what is the risk there? Especially now that JK is hurt

Before we go back to what worked in the past, I'm expecting the worst. Mjd giving up draft capital for vuc just so kerr can throw out vuc and 3 guards.

Hard to believe Kerr just told his GM not to make any trades. It won't be long and this team will be completely out of the playoff picture altogether. I don't know. Perhaps that's the hidden agenda here?
