Dubs OUT: Kuminga, Podz, GP2
Dubs GTD: Draymond

Raps GTD: Quickly

Even missing some guys, they can't possibly screw this one up can they? A win would ensure they can't make the season halfway point under .500.

Apparently Wiggins is back, maybe he's motivated to show out for the hometown crowd. What I'm looking for is some sustained intensity on the defensive end and cohesive plays on offense -- no meandering/sleepwalking casualness leading to chucked 3s early in the clock or near the end because they didn't work hard enough to create openings.

Isn’t this a Dubs game?

Moses is like a gal who’s been waiting 3 years for the dude to get divorced. Then when Kerr finally dumps Klay, he’s got 3 new girlfriends that he likes better than Moody.

Need schroeder and tjd to get less minutes. Both are horrible.

Schroeder ball pounds and gets everyone out of sync.

Tjd struggles to finish and when he gets fouled, can't make fts.

Maybe Kerr has finally seen the light. Player curry/buddy/wiggins/kyle/looney more than 2 min together and got back into the game.

Same ol same ol

Motion offense for non motion players
Curry and Hield 2 man game again creates open looks for each other, and also Wiggins when he plays with them
Looney continues to be the best big option not named Dray, gets more extra possessions and more importantly accurately sets screens

If there's no change in philosophy, its a .500 team with no real upside

Looking more and more like JK is this team's MVP.

That is so sad.

Almost like he shouldnt be in a motion offense, and the team should cater to his PnR/mid-range strengths... nahhhhh

Every game he shows what he's good at, and then he still starts. And then in the beginning of Q2, they run 0 PnR plays and hope Schroder-Lindy-Moody-SloMo-TJD will carry offensively

Optimism about Kerr is pointless. There have been several games where a similar lineup carried the team and he goes right back to the pre-determined, not-working plan

I think they played close to 5 min together which is really long for a group that isn’t the starting lineup.

A TJD hand injury is a big deal for him.. its one of his only positives, being a solid hands guy. Give him a few games of rest, great excuse to see Post get a few shifts

I bet they all go to SloMo (who's rapidly becoming a guy I'm not liking)

Gui plays hard, boxes out, sets good screens. Keep playing him. I'll take him over SloMo who frequently mentally checks out of the game

Buddy's mantra needs to be dribble or shoot. You don't get both, pick one
