Winning this one seems like a tall order with Steph out on a back to back......but you never know!

If Steph plays like last couple of games, having him out might help instead of hurt. I know he put up 20+ but he turned it over and struggled on D and rebounding. I think he should have rested yesterday and should also rest today.

Last night he clearly should not have played - when he is injured his turnovers often pile up, for whatever reason. And obviously his shot didn't look like what we'd expect. I think we might have won if he had rested.

If Podz can play I think we have a shot at a win tonight.

If they lose it, they will fall back into the #7 seed, and the play-in. With Minnesota neck and neck and the Clippers still lurking, there are no more throwaway games. And it's a game they can't win if guys like Moody, Post, and Hield aren't hitting open shots (like last night), and guys like Kuminga and Draymond are blowing layups.

One thing I want to see particularly from Kuminga is if you're in range of the rim, dunk it with two hands, don't just float it up there. Sometimes he gets a little too finesse (not his strength) when he doesn't have to. A 1-foot layup for him is probably a 70%-75% shot, but a 2-handed dunk is like 98%.

And FFS, for everyone on the team, can we please stop the braindead turnovers like stepping out of bounds, fouling a non-shooter 25 feet away, lazy one-handed passes across defenders, and 8-second violations?

Last night's game wasn't just bad -- it was historically bad. A total train wreck, except for GP2's game.

If Steph's hurt, don't play him.

4 of the starting 5 were drafted by GSW. This is the way to build teams. Dont trade picks for dudes like PG or Vuc.

Okay. I've seen enough. I'm calling this one. Jimmy Buckets is guiding the Dubs to a win tonight. Spread covered. The whole team wins.
