That's pretty ugly. Easy win for Toronto. Big minutes for Kuminga. Hopefully, he doesn't foul out. :D

Should be an easy win for the Raptors but if you're interested in a peak at what our future could be, I'm interested to see what Kuminga and Moody can do with more extensive minutes and with more of a carte blanche to make plays. If we lose but they show us a real glimpse of what they can become, I'm cool with that.

Toronto will play box N 1 on Curry, since we have been shooting poorly from outside, its not looking good for us. Maybe sit Both Curry and Green

Who will Toronto box n 1 tomorrow with no Curry, Poole, or Wiggins. Kerr is playing chess. He's a g'dang genius. Your move Nick Nurse! :lol:

Warriors bench won the game by beating the Celtics bench.

Maybe Kerr knows what he is doing.


Was today Kerr's 400th win? Or 399th?

Those aren't the rotations that won.

The Warriors best lineups have been with Curry and the bench squad, thanks to Kerr's new rotations. Now we got to see Curry go -11 tonight.


this is exactly the rotation that one, Steph playing full 1st/3rd qtrs, exactly how it should be.

lmao @ the idea that having steph come off the court every 6 minutes is in any way better just so he can play against scrubs. :lol:


Those rotations were with KD, Klay etc. when they didn't need Curry in the 4th because we were blowing everyone out.

Reducing his 1st and 3rd quarter minutes gives him more in the 4th. They actually need him there. The starting unit doesn't dominate like they used to.

The rotations you hate gave the Warriors the best record in the NBA, created the Warriors best units, and put Curry at the top of the MVP polls.

I guess we know why Kuminga hardly played. He's gotta play 30+ tomorrow night.

glad the got the W and now they get to rest everyone tomorrow night against the Raps. I thought Moody played just ok, made a couple of cuts at the wrong time and the wrong place of the court but played hard. The closing defensive lineup is a glorious thing to behold.

Had tickets to the raps vs warriors games but got refunded cause of the new 50% capacity restriction bs going on in Ontario.

Got lucky big time as I shelled out a large sum for those

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

If we lose but they show us a real glimpse of what they can become, I'm cool with that.

This is the game for Looney to show that he's the real secret sauce. :lol:

If we defend (should be able to defend with that group) and don't turn the ball over, we'll have a shot. Would not expect a win obviously, but just hoping everyone competes like they want playing time.

I think Moody gets the start again (today was just a warm up for him in prep for tomorrow's heavier minutes).

I'll say these are the starters:
Chioza, Moody, Dlee, JTA, Looney

Kuminga's versitility may help a lot here as we can play him on the wing (short on SF's) and the big spots (short at PF/C). Also possible Kuminga starts for JTA... I just doubt Kerr starts both of the teenagers though we could use someone that could put their head down and get to the basket.

Good opportunity for Chioza to win over the Warriors Board, and Dowtin to open some eyes either on our coaching staff or around the league. If I recall he looked solid in the one game he had a decent amount of minutes with the big club. He has looked good in the SCW games I've seen. Plays with poise. Kind of like a combo guard type... or maybe just a SG in a combo guard body haha.

At any rate, hope we're not conceding any games. If we want to go anywhere in the playoffs some of our role players are going to need to be able to step up. If we can compete well this could be be a nice building block game for them. Good opportunity for D Lee to get back on track too.

2017, I felt that it was obvious that one of Curry or Durant should be on the floor at all times. Kerr did not agree with me. He played Curry and Durant together and the bench unit struggled on offense.

For the curent team I want one of Curry and the the duo of Wiggins and Poole on the floor at all times. Wiggins and Poole together are almost the equal of Durant and some scrub.

I would keep Dray and Curry together because they have good chemistry and Draymond as point foward lets Curry play off the ball.

Wiggins and Poole need a point guard. Payton plus Iguodala equal a point guard. Now I got Wiggins as the power forward on a small Ball team. Give them Looney

Give Curry and Draymond, Damion Lee, Toscano and Bjelica. Draymond can help Bjelica where as Looney does not need help.

Fit Porter in somwhere and find a few mintes for Kuminga. Open and close games with the same starting line up we have all year until Klay proves he is healthy enough to be better than Poole.

With Green: Curry is +12.1 and scores 26.3 points per 36 with a 59.6 ts%

Without Green: Curry is +23.4 and scores 32.4 points per 36 on a 62.6 ts%

Curry doesn't need Green. Kerr's new rotations have given Curry more time without him (over 300 minutes), and he's flourished.

There is no "if" about it. We're going to get murdered. Vegas appears to have pulled the game from the books. Prior to that, the odds were moving fast. Toronto was -7.5 the last I saw.

Saying it aloud, Warriors will have 9 available with 5 undrafted G-league vets (Chiozza, GPII, Dowtin, Lee, JTA) and 2 rookies. The only two veteran drafted players are Looney and Bjelica.

Yeah, we should get killed.

A 48 minute defensive effort would be one goal for this game.

I hope he doesn't blow it


Side note: KD might have covid and he just played the Raptors. That's 8 Nets players total. Hopefully no one on the Raptors will give the dubs covid

Of course there is an "if" involved in this. I said "if" you are interested in a peak at our future...., and some fans are interested in that but others are not; they are only concerned with the present. Then I said "if" we lost BUT our rookies show us a real glimpse of what they can become....; it is also entirely possible that we lose and the rookies look terrible. That would likely start several threads about how we should have traded those picks or taken others instead of Kuminga and Moody. Both of those "if" statements could go either way, which is why I said "if".
