1. Steph cooked ✅

   Stress-free win with starters resting in the 4th ✅

   We gon be championship ✅

2. WWWWARRIORS!!!

3. It was the Wizards but finally a comfortable win with Steph resting the full fourth period feels good. Still, I don’t want to see Steph/Cp3/Cory playing together ever again lol

4. We actually have a game of garbage time, tears in my eyes.

   We really hit home runs on both draft picks this year.

   Podz made some rookie-esqe mistakes today and he was clearly frustrated about it. But man he plays so damn hard every possession.

   And TJD? What a steal at 57 holy shit

   Add Kuminga and Moody in there, we have a nice young core there.

5. Draymond getting suspended may be the biggest blessing possible long term.

   It forced Steve to play the young guys and they look completely different.

   JK and TJD growing up.

   We also got the full Jordan Poole experience, but this time we didn’t have to get frustrated.

   Happy he got his flowers for 2022.

6. 0.500 baby!!!

7. In the floater before Steph’s tech, Gafford let Steph a ton of space because he was afraid of TJD rolling. When’s the last time a center has done that with Looney rolling?

   Team has been in need of a rim runner centwr since Javale. They won in 2022 despite not having that, because Looney played absolutely amazing in his role. Steph creates a ton of space for centers to roll but Dray and Loon are very poor scorers. Oh and Cp3 can definitely use a lob threat too.

8. It’s been established that Kuminga is really good when given consistently 20+ minutes. It has been like that since his rookie season. He might make some mistakes here and there, but if giving enough minutes, he’ll have a positive impact. Hope Kerr knows it too.

9. I really missed garbage time

10. Dubs won, Suns lost.

    Twas a good night.

11. TJD just played three flawless games in a row. Warriors would have 5 more wins with him playing regular minutes this season; that’s how good he is, and addition by substraction(Looney has not been good).

    He migh not be ready for the big bruisers, although I’d argue that (other than Sabonis) those centers hurt Looney a lot too. But it’s damn clear that Trayce Jackson-Davis is a much better option against rim running centers, which most teams have.

12. .500 and only up from here!!!!!

13. **.500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

14. Stars sitting in the 4th because we’re blowing out the opponent, just like the good old days 🥺 You absolutely love to see it! It brings a tear to my eye 🥲 lol .500 never felt so good!

    This was especially needed because we play again tomorrow! Go WWWWarriors!!!

15. 28 games into the season and it’s very clear that, no matter how healthy the Warriors are, their best version features heavy minutes by the young guys, particularly Podz, Kuminga and TJD.

    It’s on Kerr to not pull them out of the rotation when Dray and Gp are back or reduce their minutes if they have a bad game.

16. Got the job done gg dubs. Let’s get it done against blazers tomorrow and have a Christmas crack at them nuggs!

17. TJD is clearly our best center and it isn’t even close. He should start

18. I love that Kuminga has finally realized he is more athletic than 99% of the dudes out there.
    TJD, Podz and Jk all breaking out at the right time.

19. Rollins looked better than CoJo in garbage time lmao

20. Trayce Jackson is the biggest steal in NBA history!

21. If Wiggins ever get his shit together, Kerr might have to start Draymond at the 5, which I don’t think he wants to. But Kuminga needs to to start at the 4, period. He might work at the 3 with Saric or TJD at the 5. But you probably can’t pair 2 non scroing threats (Loon and Dray) and a guy defenses let open to shoot in Kuminga.

22. Finally a 4th quarter that doesn’t have my heart in overdrive.

    Let’s go! Portland better watch out!

23. Only the Warriors could be up 22 with Steph voluntarily resting the entire fourth and still make it seem like a clutch time game the last couple of minutes 😂

24. Garuba played i can rest easy now

25. JK and TJD really making a serious case to be integral pieces to the team during playoffs

26. Ryan Rollins. He deserves more minutes in Washington.

    Kuminga has been terrific this past little stretch, showing he’s well worth a rookie extension.

    When’s the last time the Dubs had three 20+ scorers in the same night? Have they done that this season?

    TJD sleep walking into a (actually productive) double-double is what I hoped Wiseman could be in year 3 lol

27. couldnt have done it without my pride and joy gui santos 🥺🙏🙏

28. #4-0 in the grandson of the wind era!

29. Point God +27

30. Draymond being away is like this team’s good luck charm.

31. TJD is legit 🔥🔥🔥

32. Steph not playing in the 4th quarter has historically been a very good sign for the team. I’m also going to ignore that it’s probably due to the fact that we have a game tomorrow.

    Good win.

33. Please stay above .500 this time boys

34. Our rookies grabbed 22 rebounds. That’s insane.

35. I think it’s also underrated AF how Kerr is using CP. with dray out you really get a better chance to see how CP impacts multiple lineups on the floor. He boosts every single player except maybe Steph who is just on another level with his iso game and play making.

    Chris gets Klay multiple good looks every game, and he keeps all the young dudes heads in the right place and has navigated the warriors system like seamlessly. Kerr has inserted him with like every combination of players, and Chris just goes to work finding good looks with his efficien playmaking
