Pelicans at Warriors Game Thread 11/29

[floppymoose]

JK wasnt quitting. He was just JK. It seemed like an ok’ish first game back. His teammates blew two assists.

Congrats on clearing the lowest of bars, I guess. Tuesday is going to be ugly though, might as well rest Jimmy and Draymond for most of that one.

How bout that GPII?!

[Twinkie defense]

i love QP but EVERY TIME the dude tries to dribble instead of shoot or pass, bad things happen. Come on man, just stick to what you do best for now. Similar to when Kuminga starts settling for shooting 3s. Those two need to switch their instincts.

Teams have been playing QP to shoot the three, he has to be able to adjust and mix up his shot selection.

He didn’t want us having Saddiq regrets.

[superunknown]

at least they won.
horrible basketball game. from both sides.

Do you disagree? His energy level is terrible

Yes, I disagree.

He defended, boxed out and tried to fit in on offense. He had a bad pass to Podz, who wasn’t looking for the ball.

You don't see him dragging around. I don't think I saw him sprint once.

At least Dubs will have a real shooter next game, named Curry. Yeah, Seth is officially back!

I think most of the posters on this board hate-watch the human petri dish that is JK and scrutinize his every move and magnify anything negative he does on the court.

I would probably enjoy myself here a lot more if I just stopped engaging in any JK discussion.

Honestly he looked like the same energy level when he left the last game he played and then sat for however many games. I recall on that game I said it doesn't look like jk wants to play and then he didn't play in the 2nd half. That's why I thought he was actually injured. This past game looked more of the same.

Im not even talking about his game or decision making just his energy and activity level. Maybe it was just the pels we'll see moving forward.

It's somewhat murky, but I know what you're referring to. I think he's been told not to rush and to let the game come to him and that's great advice for his game. But he also isn't a terribly instinctive player and so when he's, according to Kerr, playing "the right way" it comes across as a lack of activity and hustle.

I hope that as he gets more comfortable playing that way, and as he starts to "see the pictures" he'll begin reacting more instinctively and promptly to what's going on.

Regardless, playing a less dynamic, mistake free style is probably what's best for him and the team right now.

Tough watching a small team not be able to shoot well. Small ball is only good if you're lasering from 3, which we all know at this point the role players aren't like that.

Same story over and over for the role guys -- scrappy defenders who can't shoot. Doesn't cut it in the modern NBA.

I thought the defense was pretty good, Jimmy Butler tough and playing at an All Star level, Draymond laying some good defense on Zion, GPII was balling out, and the Warriors pulled out the win with no Steph Curry.

I'd say, pretty good game!

[Twinkie defense]

JK had a couple bad turnovers along with a couple nice baskets. Overall, nice to see him back.
