I don't expect it to happen game 1, but JK running around out there with Curry/Butler/Dray could be hilarious. Like... 5 dunks a game hilarious.

Jimmy with Dray and GP2 worked on offense. I'm more worried about JK defensively than offensively.

The way I look at it he needs to be better than Gui. That doesn't seem like a very high bar. And if he isn't, there's no way in hell we should pay him $35M lol.

The Warriors are 2-10 in their division, it's the second-worst divisional record in the entire league (Charlotte 1-11). Somewhere in the playoff seeding scheme, divisional record comes into play. Would be nice to improve, but it might be too late at this point.

Anyway, sort of an important game, with a win they could put Sacramento effectively out of reach of overtaking them. And have to keep fending off the Wolves to keep that 6 seed, must avoid the play-in at all costs.

I dont think hes reading anything into it other than its a lost cause as a tiebreaker that can go in the Warriors favor. They could win out and still be behind on that tiebreaker.

I’m sure they need the rest, but these two days off seems like a week to me.

The only way that would mean anything would be if we lost to Memphis and tied them in record otherwise that tiebreaker is rather meaningless as we’ll either have our actual records against each team mean something. Lakers have the tie breaker, Denver we only play 3x, Houston we have the tie breaker, Minnesota we have the tie breaker and the clippers have the tie breaker.

I'm back for Kuminga. I hope he doesn't F... this up.

They’ve won a lot of recent games playing that way against us.

You can rejoice Warriors fans. The key missing piece is back. Kuminga has landed!
