Hield: 17 pts, 5 of 11 on 3 pointers.

Everyone wanting this kind of contribution from Kuminga, but it’s Hield who’s stepping up.

Sure there’s the consistent turnover and questionable shot but scoring-wise that’s Jimmy’s production and should be big for the Warriors if they are going to pull the W off this game:

He's one of those players like Brandon Jennings where I think college would've humbled him and probably exposed his flaws. Very smart of him not to go cause it maintained the hype he got from high school.

EDIT: that is both NBA and ABA. NBA he was 10th


Manu probably not far either. They've been in the playoffs forever. Pretty sure they have one of the largest playoff games played together as a trio.

I’m aware of how great Tony was but him being THAT high blows my mind wow

Looks like game 1. This dude can't be sitting with 9 pts. Him jacking up a terrible shot can't be worse than what we're watching.

Awful awful player. Got people defending him as well. Dude is shooting 42/35 for the season and has shown zero progression. Maybe his defense has gotten better but nothing else.

Hield's always been a frustrating player going back to his Sacramento days, because when he's on there's not a team in the league that wouldn't want him, but he's just so inconsistent.

Warriors definitely need him to keep playing like this.

If Fred van Vleet was 3 inches taller he'd be a spectacular basketball player.

His height is the root of all his problems. He's one of like three Rockets with a ball IQ above 90 and any grasp whatsoever of fundamentals but he's so short his options on offense are limited to dribble, pass, shoot open shots.

I dont blame you. It's a blight on basketball. If they win this game basketball lost.

He's Jokic if Jokic couldn't shoot or hit layups. So just Kic (No J, No O)
