If the Wolves end up winning this series (not saying they will yet), in the past 2 playoffs they will have had twice as many series wins as they did in the previous 33 seasons combined.

Podz has been terrible. We will have a post Mortem for this team in 2 days, but I wonder if he is considered a positi asset. They should move away from him. He was terrible in 10 playoff games + play-in and very good in 1. If he had showed up in game 3 maybe warriors might still have a shot.

Yeah, Butler doesn't even want the ball. You'd think with no Steph he would be touching the ball each time down. You cannot expect Hield, Podziemski, Draymond to carry the scoring load. Whatever Kuminga was going to contribute was a bonus.

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.


Well then this ain't gonna be a good marriage. There's no chemistry out there. He isn't fighting for this team. Kerr has to give him a good talk at the end of season. Then work this off season to make Jimmy feel at home there. He hasn't taken to Warriors like he took to Miami.

Kuminga has 53 points in the last two games. I mean, he's been great considering the circumstances.

Some tanking team will be very happy with their $150 million spent this summer on Kuminga without affecting their lottery chances

Warriors are a big 3 with a very thin supporting class.

Can they get some help in the offseason. they need players like Shaun Livingston, Iggy and Barnes who can come in a play their role well.

TBH he doesn't seem to have that with Warriors. I don't know if Kerr is holding him back, or if he doesn't feel it with this team.


Not particularly big. Was an excellent, but never elite nba athlete. Short wingspan. Good but not great shooter.

While elite in competitiveness, and grit, plus a super high iq, he’s 35.5 now. When you are lacking as described above, you aren’t going to age well into your mid 30s at this time of year trying to be a #1.

Chanting "referees suck" 7 minutes into the game certainly doesn't help. The cringe music inbetween game pauses doesn't help either. Cringe franchise riding on the coattails of Curry's greatness. Enjoy it for the few years you have left.

Has the Warriors fan base turned into frontrunners?

Dray pulled a Ben Simmons right there. He had Donte guarding him on the drive...
