Play-In Game Thread GSW VS MEM

[floppymoose]

Last two minute report

Four incorrect calls, including Podz's block.

That report is a bit of a joke. They claim an incorrect non-call of a foul on Dray against Pippin, but then use a video clip that is completely unusable to see if they are right. Then later, they claim an incorrect out of bounds call off Morant that should have been off Curry, but if you watch that video it's the kind of play where they call it off Morant 100 times out of 100.

I'm not sure I can take these reports seriously anymore. It feels more like an exercise in digging up semi-plausible bad calls that are roughly even to both teams. IRL a small set of bad calls will frequently strongly favor one team, if just by chance.

Wiggins off to a good start in CHI/MIA play-in.

[ILOVEIT]

Go Wiggins!

Wiggins +- leader for the game.

Klay might end up +- leader in his game.

By god Kerr trained them well!

It's all about saving face, a nonsense political report. If it comes out that 4-5 decisions all go in favor of any team, it gets huge negative attention to refs that everyone already dislikes.

I may have missed it, but did Kuminga put up some practice shots after the Warriors won the game against Memphis? I remember seeing videos about him doing it after his loss with DNP, not so much after the win with his DNP.

If the video after the Clippers game is any indication, why bother? Seemed like he missed at least as many shots as he made. Hell, Post could probably make more 3pt shots during games than Kuminga can make in practice with no one in his face.

you probably saw the short video that showed some misses.

there is a long one that shows a more accurate account but why am I even bothering to tell folks who don't support JK to begin with?

Kerr's rotations lost a 20 point lead

Then I guess it was Kerr's rotations that got a 20 point lead.

Not sure of the relevance of that...if you go with a rotation on the belief you're going to get XX points from Hield and/or Podjemski, or that they are going to provide adequate defense on YY players, and you see that the assumption is proving wrong, adjust. Hield and Podjemski struggled heavily in that game, coming nowhere near the production that might justify them being part of a "rotation". Giving JK a chance when you see them struggle is common sense. And, I'm not a huge JK fan...I just see that GSW gets good Hield and bad Hield, and good Pods and bad pods, and when you're getting the bad version of each, there is no reason not to try something different, particularly when fatigue is a factor.
