pjmski isn't a starter on a championship team. if steph didn't get hurt and would've won it would've been his most impressive chip just for that alone.

Without Steph out there, Warriors have a lot of defense to throw at Jimmy. In the past, when Jimmy gets on fire in the playoffs, it's been tons of abusing matchups and raining tough pull ups.

There's not a ton of bully ball matchups against a bigger team, and Jimmy's pull up game has been getting creakier for 2 years and it's hard to shoot over bigger players.

Are we watching a playoff game or is this a scrimmage. These guys are so loose with the ball.

Can't wait till gsw is knocked out. Hopefully continues each year lessens their chance of chasing relativity...till one day... back to the traditional Golden State days.

People saying this is like a regular season game is crazy, this is looking like pre-season, maybe even summer league.

Do you mean the game or the series? The answer is yes.

The starting SG got a season ending injury 1 month into the season.

The Twolves can play some great defense. That’s the only part of them that looks championship worthy.

Sounds like Ant :D

Feels like Jimmy is gassed. I hope for that over he quit. Kind of surprised Kerr hasn't inserted Moody, Santos and Spencer for energy. They've had like a good 3 minutes where the Wolves were kind of just treading water.

The NBA wants to will GSW to another finals appearance. It won't happen. Even when it's 8v5, it's not going to happen, they are awful. When this game steps into WWE territory, maybe they'll have a chance someday.

I keep telling people. Jimmy does not seem like himself in golden state. He and the team aren't meshing. I don't think he will re-sign with them. Unless he can't get that money elsewhere. I've seen this passive Jimmy before. It's because he doesn't feel like he belongs.

He already did. He signed an extension with the Warriors once the trade was completed.
