Also not optimal

I would just settle for modern cameras 🤣

It also wouldn't have made sense to make that kind of deal for anyone who was thought of as maybe available someday (other than Giannis... or Luka, who people thought was untouchable).

There was no reason for him to say publicly that he wanted guys traded, but he couldn’t hide his frustration during and after losses. He wanted them to do something.

Agreed, I mentioned this to @davedufour.bsky.social how it's like he's a different defensive player. He was completely lost just two months ago.

Not sure if it's Stackhouse or Ron Adams coaching him up (probably both) but he was a complete seive when he came up from Santa Cruz.

He's fearless and the defense is rapidly improving.

Steph is an incredible leader — first thing he calls out postgame is "collective resilience." Man, if you didn't put them on your back, this would've been a 24-point loss.

Butler and Podz had a 2-man going and almost lost the game offensively because neither guy had it. Draymond is in playoff mode. And when GP2 rejected Cole, then Looney tapped it to Steph, it just seemed to make sense. They're still vulnerable against size but Post is going to get playoff minutes.

What else can you say about Steph's performance? But they still wouldn't have won if Kerr didn't let Post keep playing and playing in the second half.

Despite Buster saying he wants Eldridge to more time in the minors, if he hits in Triple-A he'll be up relatively soon. The guys they have at 1B can't be counted on to stay healthy.

(They still should have outbid the D-Backs for Burnes, though.)

How dare anyone question the NBA All-Star Game!

Not many other players understand the game, or the leverage they have off the court, like those two. They have similar effects on their teammates. But nothing they do basketball-wise on the floor is comparable.

His POA is lacking but he fills so many other roles this team can use.

It was good before Steve realized he should get minutes lollll

I never saw the point in him being a 2 in today's NBA

Wiggins played well tonight, too. And they need exactly what he provides. But Draymond wasn't going anywhere.

There's at least a foundation now. Wiggs is a valuable player but the old guard needed someone to take on a bigger role.

Then again, nothing Nick Friedell has ever said about the Warriors has carried much weight.

He also unlocked Podz. Whatever weird stuff Brandin was dealing with mentally earlier this season is gone now.

Good point, it's tough to maintain your intensity when they make you watch an Inside the NBA vigil that doesn't really make any sense since it isn't going away.

But enough about Kevin Hart 🥁
