Warriors vs Pelicans | GM 65  |

Comments

The best part of the Marvel broadcast graphics was the gray smoke trail coming off the bottom of the ball on the Pelican air balls from 3. That shit was cracking me up each time.

I want to watch Steph and dray with Wiggins in a first round series. It’s been to dam long

The game ball goes to.....Lonzo. Every time the Warriors were in jeopardy he would clank a shot. Draymond's defense must be fabulous. He gives the refs nonstop grief but they don't call fouls on him, they give him the benefit of the doubt on lots of those Zion assaults. I suppose it would be exciting if the Warriors could threaten one of the division leaders in a playoff series but rationally what is to be gained by exhausting Steph and Draymond when we all know that next season is the goal? I wouldn't be heartbroken if they missed the playin series as well.

I think they can compete on a given night. But winning a series is going to be real tough

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah he could feast on those backdoor cuts, you can tell it’s not in his nature to basket cut. Steph and Dray were waiting on him last night

Athletic Alchemy

I think they are thinking sign in trade

Athletic Alchemy

But not pull ups.. that’s not a good shot for him. Rather seem him try to get to the rim

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks! I really enjoy the freedom of being independent. But I’d love a opportunity for say a showtime or HBO where I could still really say what I want. JTA just has to understand risk reward better as he gets more experience. I get this is his MO right now. But don’t hustle just to hustle if you want to have a long career

Athletic Alchemy

He seemed so at ease too

Athletic Alchemy

Right! Hilarious

Athletic Alchemy

I agree.. I’m not looking to move him. He is the big contract that you send if a true star is available tho.

Athletic Alchemy

I kinda think Steph has learnt that he can dominate with his shooting like Zion dominating the key charging like a tank in this game. It is beautiful to see how Steph working that 3 pt line and Zion working in the post. I expect Warriors can now compete with any teams in playoffs. It is a shame that Kelly is hurt.

Natto Santo

Wiggins must've had the most quiet 26 points I've ever seen. The problem I have with his game is he too much of an iso scorer on offense. He doesn't excel at anything either. His midrange jumper can look silky smooth at times but its all off iso action and they always look tough as hell. He needs to learn to score more easily. If Oubre isn't back for next season, I would love to see him incorporate some of Oubre's game and cut more to the basket. With Klay coming back next season, the lanes should open up even more for opportunities around the basket.

Shame about the ankle for Dray but couldn't have happened at a better time of year. Some may disagree but I don't see any value at all in the play in game or even a first round play off series for this team. So if he has to sit for several games or even the rest of the season I'm fine with that, There is no question Dray still has it on D when he wants to. Though let's be honest as well this Pels squad isn't exactly full of giants. Adams is about as big as they get everyone else is kind of small like our squad. I'll miss the hustle and energy on D that Oubre always gave us. It's kind of weird that Joey pockets spent all that cash on him and there didn't seem to be any urgency to try and turn him into something more useful for the long term. I mean did they seriously think he might stick around after this season?

Alasdair Macdonald

I disagree with Baze taking those shots, we do need more aggressiveness from our role players. We had stretches where the line up was Steph, Dray, JTA, Baze, and Mulder, and every offensive posession everyone is pretty much setting screens for Steph while Steph ran a billion miles to try and get a sliver of daylight. Yeah Steph is the better shooter but how much load can he realistically carry? It is so physically demanding to do what he does, I think role players need to be more of offensive threats to help Steph out with the load, no matter how ridiculously in-shape he is

Kevin Weng

Alch, It's about a toss up between what I enjoy more, a W game or your breakdown, keep it up. You are a good writer as well, have you got any leads on going to the next level because you are building up an impressive body of work. To the game I agree, I throw shade on Dray all of the time but it's games like this one where he takes on the challenge, like with Jokic or Embid, and it still amazes me that he can play D so damn well, don't forget he's 6'6". He really is a defensive marvel when he wants to be. I hope JTA doesn't become a Concussion casualty long term, I don't think he will but I agree anything to the head has him a little spooked.

Russ

We need both kinds of players. As Alch have said before there are rotation players who helped us win games we really had no business winning; and we do need some of those wins to stay competitive and in the playoffs

Kevin Weng

Vintage Draymond. Don't care how many empty points Zion got, game was over after 3 minutes of Draymond reminding everyone who he is. Would you rather have a player that shows up for every meaningless regular season game and shrinks when it's crunch time or a guy like Dray who will stink it up in however many regular season games, but always seems to play like that when there is money on the table?

Phood Fight

I agree. Steph used to be the master at this and now I feel like they are going to turn the ball over and lead to a 3 from the opposition. They've had some epic end-of-quarter meltdowns.

A m a r Singg

thats all we need from wiggins really, get some quick buckets when stephs out in the the fourth and play solid defense.

Ezra Abbey

Hay Alch, is it just me or do the Warriors never seem to get a quality shot on the last possession of a quarter? It's something I've been picking up on in a lot of games recently.

Stephen Flores

To be honest I still would consider it, cus at least Zo can pass🤣. Also he’s shooting 37% from 3 on the season, let’s not act like Kelly ain’t had even worse shooting nights in a dubs uni. I gotta say though I like Kelly in the dunker spot, he’s got good timing and he’s elite at winning momentum possessions like selling an illegal screen.

Jacob

You know it’s game time when dray is yellin at steph to play better D. All I gotta say is WIGGINS. It finally felt like we had a go-to #2 to begin that 4th quarter and he even saw his first double team in a warriors uniform because of it😂. Good breakdown alch.

Jacob

Wiggins also does not get enough credit for playing and starting every game this season and playing hard, giving effort, guarding the other teams best player all in the selfish era of load management. I don't have a way to know but I suspect that Wigs has probably played in every quarter of every game unless maybe he sat the Toronto blow out cause of the score? Wigs is so sturdy and that is valuable. Are there any Warriors fans that would still trade Oubre for Ball after last night?

Steven Stanley

Lmao Alch when Juan T did the Mexican finish under the basket I was thinking the same thing #chicanoball

Alexander Garcia

I really don’t want to trade Wiggins unless we get a legit upgrade at the wing position. We need a full sized, defensive 3 in the west next year to go against bbron, Kawhi, PG, even porter Jr
