Yeah what happened to feet having to be set?

Yeah, something must have changed with the rules. Cause I thought it was clearly a blocking foul. We've seen guys in position and turn away from contact and get the blocking foul... but in this case Dame was still sliding to the left and didnt have his feet set at all.

Its non stop dray curry to close games. Everyone knows dray isnt a threat so it becomes easier to defend late in games.

this game is actually on Steph... missed so many easy shots... made tough ones though

Curry has zero margin of error though Dame was cold as ice but his team was able to hang with us.. Our offense is hot mess right now we need Klay more than ever.

That is why I wish Kerr put Wiggins in that role because at least he is a threat to shoot. It might not go in but you gotta have somebody as a threat. However, Steph has to tell Dray not to set the pick at times as well. This is where you miss Klay because if they double Steph, easy money for Klay.

worst of all, missed a floater and wide open three down the stretch... Dame came through at the end...

Yup, I’d put this on him too. He had some good looks down the stretch and failed to covert. Disappointing but we move

that challenge was costly too, being charged a time out ... otherwise, the last possession would have been a set up play...
should challenge though, the referees blew that call, Dame's feet never set, should be a block...

We just have to stop fouling. 24 fouls vs 11!

We are just not very F'ing good.

Wiseman looks like a lost little grumpy boy ...arm flailing all over the place...weak hands.

Damion has more ice in his veins than Curry....

The team is about what their record is. A decent defensive team with inconsistent offense. Only reliable parts are Steph’s efficiency, Draymond’s passing, Wiggins defense, and Looney’s positioning.

We missed Oubre's mean mugging, but yeah pretty spot on analogy.

that game was brutal down the stretch with all the missed put-backs and layups. I thought that was a block on Draymond's drive but those calls are hard to make and there wasn't enough to overturn it. It looks like the team will be .500 going into the allstar break and that is about their ceiling IMO. If management wants to keep Oubre's salary slot they should move him or move him for a late first or second round pick.

jamesnamida · Post #96 » by **jamesnamida** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 6:28 am

that was a block.
also our role players just arent good enough.
curry is sometimes too passive as well.
mavs 8th seed now.

BTW Wiseman is an absolutely terrible positional rebounder... and no, this isnt an age thing, its an effort thing. He stands there, and waits to be moved off the spot, just trying to use his length and jumping to get rebounds.

He's been going the wrong direction since he got back.. the wrist may affect a lot of things but rebounding effort shouldnt be one of them

DevinVassell · Post #98 » by **DevinVassell** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 7:55 am

Its all coming together perfectly.

Warriors sneak in to the playoffs as a #10 seed and still keep their own best possible FRP.

I'm a Wiseman homer but must admit he got schooled by Kanter today on the boards. The strength discrepancy right now is obvious.

It's not the wrist because he's been a terrible rebounder since day 1. And I say that as someone who advocated picking him, I really want him to succeed but hands/instincts is a huge problem right now. Not sure yet if those will improve in time. At the very least he can start going after the ball when it goes up instead of sitting back and waiting, then really clamping down when he gets a touch, it's infuriating how many guys jump in front of him for boards or knock it loose.

I think rebounding can be taught. Some people are better at it than others, but there is room for improvement.
