  1. Wiseman put in the work. Flip shot. Hook. Good finish at the rim. Young man finding his legs.

  2. Even Nurkic with a roll of quarters at the hot shot arcade free throw line couldn’t hold back that whoopin’

  3. Remember the wannamaker run second units? Yeah i think this offensive second unit will look better

  4. Just pre season, but if these young guys take a leap forward this year it’s gonna be a lot of fun. All things aside, it’s why a lot of us thought this team could be even better than last season’s. Happy to see Wiseman especially doing well.

  5. One key difference I noticed about Wiseman these past preseason games is that the guy smiles a lot more. The dude used to look like his dog just died whenever he messed up a play or committed a foul. It’s just nice to see the guy have fun out there lmao

  6. Wiseman just said he loves the post game now and it absolutely shows. Have we seen any of the old situations where he tried to play like a guard? Don’t think so.

  7. Haters are in shambles tonight lol. Most of our young players look like they can contribute in one way or another.

  8. I know its preseason, but this game has made me feel so much better about our depth/bench. I was worried about it after we lost OPJ/GP2/JTA/Bjeli but it might be even better than last year

  9. Our 2nd unit is legit. Our young guys took a great leap. Wise’ everything, Moody’s comfort and inside game, and Kuminga’s patience and that DPOYish defense

    Donte and JMG is good

    Kerr is such a freaking good coach. He has EVERYONE playing GSW brand of beautiful basketball. Even the 3rd stringers

  10. We have lots of really solid passers. DDV/Pat/Rollins are a breath of fresh air in comparison to Chiozza

  11. If Wiseman improves this much every off-season he plays pickup basketball he’ll be better than Lebron by his 10th season

  12. Tbh, seeing that replay of Kerr’s pregame comment on Dray, I think he just kind of didn’t want to get into it and pushed it off. Probably going to be a nothing statement.

  13. Gotta give a lot of credit to coach Kerr and his staff. Got everyone believing in the good shot to great shot motto

  14. That passing was such a blur.. Pat Spencer with the deep 3s near the end of 4th. Just wow

  15. As a french fan i am hesitating to watch the santa cruz warriors aswell
    My nights are gonna be short but hey ryan and pbj will make it worth!

  16. Get this NBA TV jabroni off my tv. Sorry you never got punched by your brother or friend, dork.

  17. Gotta give some love to Donte. Didn’t score much but was clearly looking to pass and played some great defense. 5 turnovers weren’t all his fault too

  18. Wiseman’s shot selection is night and day. His shooting might come and go and he has some work to do building up strength to finish strong but looking to finish at the rim and hit FTs is key. He’s been embracing that in the last two games and not doing too much else. Lower body strength is a bit of an issue and same old defensive and screening issues that needs more time and reps to fix. How fast he can adjust to the speed of the game defensively is going to dictate a lot of his playing time and how effective he’s going to be overall this season.

    I’m a fan of Rollins. I want to see more in terms of actually setting the pace as a PG but we’ll see.

    Moody had a good game. Unlike the last game he had more luck going to the rack and it looked good. He’s very focused on trying to do that and it gives him some tunnel vision. That’s fine as it’s a work in progress.

    This game really showed how slow PBJ actually is and why he’s going to be in the gleague for most of the season.

    JMG and Donte were good. It’s very easy to see how they fit in and get their playing time.

    Kuminga isn’t polished enough offensively to be consistently effective. His shot is iffy so he’s not a good spacer off the ball and his handles and passing skills aren’t developed enough to be a ball handler. He has a knack for getting to the charity stripe but he’ll frequently just get stripped trying to draw a foul due to his weak handles. He’s going to need to play the GP2 role until/unless he can shore up his offensive weaknesses.
