Cy I have a signed Kaminga Warriors ball that I want to donate. Maybe we can auction it off for charity on 3/21 at the watch part?
Unicorn and Chef could open the court! You guys may be right but I think it could be interesting if he could give us 20 and Curry gives us 30 opens up offense side! Curry has never had big with this shooting chops!
No guarantee Curry doesn’t keep getting injured, no guarantee Butler even comes back.
Yo Joe! We about to have the whitest team in the NBA! Jazz ain’t got nothing on us!
👍🏽
Tank or no tank should be entirely a Curry decision
The Warriors just need to play status quo. Keep using Draymond at center with a 3 – 4 guard lineup and they won't need to pretend tank . . . . . . . .
Kerr will take care of the tanking if he continues his rotations … Ha Ha Ha
I like that give us a G league at least
So Kuminga as a rookie started in game 3 in the WCSF and scored 18 points on 8-10 from the field 2-4 from three in 17 minutes. Then in game 5 he scored 17 points in 23 minutes. Both wins. This was when he was a rookie! Then later another solid game of 17-8 in 22 minutes against Dallas. As a rookie!!!!!! He's been fucked ever since!
The only place where you can get realistic perspective on the Warriors. Too many others are completely delusional.
so 10 – 6 seed. Might as well play for the 6 seed and start playing taller lineups, and give Steph a longshot at the playoffs. The team needs to play some better taller 2 way players and get away from the 4 guard bs
I think it's an age thing Cy. I've drooled more in my 40s than I did from being 3-39 years old. I don't know why, but sometimes it just happens when I'm spacing out. Getting old is not for the weak. Anyway, thanks for doing this show. I really think the Warriors have no shot in hell of winning a championship and it seems like our best shot to get one more for Steph and the gang is to tank and get draft position to either draft a great young player or trade the pick for a nice fit for the team. Maybe Giannis?
As long as Podz plays, GSW has no chance in the playoffs
Armando is right the best trade for steph is 4 first round picks and a bad contract. This trade deadline was the time to blow up the team for draft picks and bad contracts. The GSW front office is bad
At first i sided with JK on the taking food home thing. But after living in the hood and seeing the etiquette of some of the black community and how they act around freebies, my opinion is split.
