GT - Its perfect time to cut off losing streak (0-9) vs Denver 

Post#1 » by SpreeS » Fri Apr 4, 2025 9:03 am

We won last time against DEN 3 years ago in PO...So its time to rise from the ashes...

Denver

Apr 3: Murray (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Apr 3: Watson (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Warriors

Apr 3: The Warriors announced Thursday that Payton (thumb) is making good progress in his recovery, and although he won't play in Thursday's game versus the Lakers, he will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

I expect a loss here but this would be SUCH a good, championship-mettle type win if we could get it

smacking memphis, LA and nuggets in b2b2b would be so much momentum going to the finish line

This was the one game I was worried about. Even worse now that Denver decided to take their last game off as well. But a win here would be pretty amazing.

If this wasn't a back to back, we should be able to beat Denver though.

I'm actually more worried about Jimmy. He seems to be picking up a bunch of knick knack injuries.

Same, I think he should be rested even if it might mean a loss. Just win every other game afterwards.

I am not for resting guys at this point in the season, too much at stake.

I think it's probably a game of chicken being played between coaches. Both teams have guys who are banged up and need rest, both teams want this win for seeding. Probably both hoping the other one announces some big pieces out so they can rest their own.

That being said, the Warriors need it more. Slipping might cost Denver a home series down the line, at worst, but for the Warriors it could mean getting tossed into play-in hell.

We need last night's Kuminga and last night's Podz to show up again, and Post, Santos, and Hield need to give them something on the court. They were kind of invisible last night. Moody played pretty solid but could assert himself more in places, happy he's finally getting playing time.

It's coming down to play through some bumps and bruises for a shot to have a week off before the first round or possibly get a couple days rest now, probably lose and quite possibly have to play the rest of the regular season and playoffs with only 1-2 days off the rest of the way.

How the hell was that a foul on Steph? Braun pushed him in the back, jumped over his back, and landed on him!

Steph getting the Moody treatment.

Kerr should have challenged right away but he likes to save his challenges for post game.

3 turnovers and not even halfway through the first quarter. Can't afford that level of sloppiness against this team.
