I don't agree with this comment "He must not be absent again for a long time" ...
My guy, this is beyond basketball. Give him all the time and space he needs. Yes this has an impact on Dubs hoops, but life > hoops. These guys are human too. Also it's Moses Moody time!
Thought about this a bit more... I don't think you could've come up with a better group of mentors for Podz than this:
- Draymond
- CP3
- Curry
Decades worth of experience, success, and perspective on the offensive AND defensive sides of the floor.
Rookies with the most AST in 2024:
#1
. Brandin Podziemski — 101
Since Jan. 1, 2024, Podz has only recorded 23 TOV, T-least among all rookies with 30+ AST in this timespan. 🤯
It's incredible to see all the salty takes directed at FO/Kerr since that Pels loss. Folks on here really forgetting that Lacob turned this Franchise around and brought 4 rings after decades of Ls. Sure mistakes have been made since KD left, but let's not forget what's been done.
Only two more followers to get to 900! What a journey it's been from being stuck at 200 back in November. Appreciate all the support, y'all continue to inspire me to continue to research, share, and grow!

What Steph said at the end of Gm1 was in response to what Ja said at the end of the 1st half in Gm1...
I'm all up for the narratives and fiery competition that the playoffs brings out but get the facts straight :)
@JoeVirayNBA
Klay's lazy touch pass TO in the 2nd which sparked the first real deficit is up there for me too. The margin for winning these games is too small to not execute on fast breaks when you have the advantage...

I believe this. It's also silly to think that Klay would show his hand by publicly declaring anything definitive before the summer which would undermine his ability to get the deal he wants.
"Don't be surprised if the boat's going to rock during the storm, it's supposed to. Life is a storm, everything is a journey."
That's a bar, Mr. Moody 🔥
Warriors continue to do an INCREDIBLE job of leveraging Santa Cruz and developing young prospects. If Gui Santos keeps up this shooting from 3, he is going to play himself into an NBA contract sooner than later.
Brandin Podziemski has officially recorded his 400th rebound this season.
He now becomes the FIRST non-lottery pick rookie to record 600+ PTS, 400+ REB, and 250+ AST since the lottery system was integrated into the draft in 1985.
Proving the doubters wrong.

There was a time when Klay was considered top 5 two way player with the likes of Leonard, PG-13, etc.. you don't move on from someone like that
No official Dubs announcements yet, but my TL is blowing up right now with speculation around Draymond (back) and Wiggins (personal) missing some time... timing on both of these are brutal...
Kerr postgame: "JK has changed our team, really, since we put him in the lineup and gone smaller with Draymond at the 5. JK's ability to get to the line and get to the paint, easy baskets, has really balanced out our team in a dramatic way."
@VP90244
@ThePackageJG
I have no problem with Chiozza getting reps. He's a part of the rotation and should get opportunities. Poole will have plenty of his own. This team goes 15 deep so Kerr is always going to be finding ways to keeping the deeper bench engaged.
He was also a team best with his +17. The fact he did it while only scoring 5pts highlights how his impact goes beyond scoring.
Filled out the box score with 10 boards and 5 assists (1 turnover).
Those defensive rebounds were CRITICAL to beating the lethal Mavs duo.
💪💪💪
Podz recorded a +/- of +17 last night.
That was his 12th game this season with a +/- of +15 or greater, 2nd among all rookies and only behind Chet Holmgren.
Chet plays for the 3 seed in the west, Podz plays for the 10 seed.

@Punk_Basketball
If we win the next two years I could see Lacob pony up to keep it going - can't let either of these guys go esp with how the vets are only getting older. Wiggins has become a foundational piece of this team as we've already witnessed how him and Looney can anchor our defense
"When we're having fun, and we're playing connected, it's a beautiful thing to be a part of."
Klay shares the keys to the Warriors' success down the stretch 🔑
Availability has been an issue for him, but if they can stretch/re-work his current deal to become more team friendly (assuming he opts into PO), there's always a need for a player with his skill set.
Gary Payton II has had an extremely underrated season for the Warriors
He’s been remarkably efficient and has had relatively the same numbers as last year with some improvements as well…
Per 36 he averaged 12.7 PTS, 6 REB & 2.1 STL
This is nonsensical crap... this SHOULD be about winning and the winning lineup combinations. Not tit-for-tat about what should be "fair"... We aren't punishing little kids, this is a team trying to sustain winning...JK does NOT shoot the same from 3 as Wiggins. Spacing matters.
"The bottom line is: Andrew Wiggins missed four games due to personal reasons and went right back into the starting lineup... Why would Jonathan Kuminga have to go to the bench after missing as many games?"

I don't know why this seems to be such a problem for folks to understand. Agree or not it's what Kerr is looking for and so that's why he's not playing...
Brandin Podziemski this season:
— Leads the entire NBA in charges drawn
— Leads his team in +/- (only rookie to do so)
— Leads the Warriors in REB
— Leads all guards in the NBA in OREB
— Leads all rookies in AST-to-TOV ratio
FIRST-TEAM ALL ROOKIE HIM
@NBA
Would be great to get JK back tonight but only if he's healthy and ready to roll. Hoping for a bounce back game from Wiggs tonight.
More importantly let's get a much needed win at Chase!
Jonathan Kuminga is questionable, Klay Thompson probable and Dario Saric out tonight for the Warriors. Dereck Lively is questionable and Josh Green out on the Dallas side.
Kerr isn't concerned with the Dubs' current slot in the standings and neither am I. Missing you're two best players and yet still had a chance in this one.

on this one, always love a good back and forth when it's about the Dubs! You don't want to miss out on this one!
No one has been able to come up with winning plays down the stretch this szn other than Curry/Klay. You can't smoke a layup against a top tier team and expect to win in crunch time. Forget mins, etc. This is the NBA, you need to make winning plays and execute for 48mins to win...
This stat is absurd. With the way he's being defended night in and night out and yet he almost never gets any love from the refs and still able to put up numbers like that which no one else has ever done let alone 5 times! 🐐
There's a level of optimism about how Steph Curry's ankle sprain responded overnight from the Warriors. They face the Spurs at home, Spurs on the road and Mavericks in the next six days.
I'll take down 4 at the half with how lackadaisical this team played in the 1st half. Moody and Looney saved the day off the bench. Now let's see them wake up and take care of business in the 3rd.

Shooting splits per quarter this season:
1st 22/41 53.7%
2nd 11/18 61.1%
3rd 1/11
4th 0/8
His 1st make in the 3rd came against the Lakers on Thursday night.
Yeah zero excuses here. Guys not engaged, getting outworked, and hardly anyone can hold their own defensively. Can anyone other than Klay hit a shot too please?
The Warriors are down 19 at half to the Spurs. Struggling to score without Curry against the league's 23rd-ranked defense (that doesn't have Wembanyama). They only have 43 points on 36/28/55 shooting splits. Missing many of the decent looks they're generating.
@sftheletters
There's no rush for the Warriors to make an official statement, I expect them to take their sweet ass time while they get everyone involved in the decision making process. He's out indefinitely for now...
Gary Payton II is OUT tomorrow night in Sacramento and Friday if the Warriors win
Steve Kerr says GP2 will be re-evaluated this weekend if the Warriors are to advance
19-10 feels like the expected floor, not the goal. With all the current hype, the elevated level of play on both ends, and the strength of schedule remaining, the GOAL should be like 24-5. And that's a far cry from impossible. Just take it one game at a time.

It's not just Looney too. I feel like a broken record but the recency bias on this app is real. Too many fans throwing players under the bus after contributing to winning rings.

This is all speculation. It's not a straight forward diagnosis. They are getting multiple evaluations to decide the best course forward. Seems like he avoided the worst-case scenario of needing surgery being and being out for 6-8 weeks but other than that, remains to be seen...

@anthonyVslater
If you look at the schedule and the matchups, this is actually ideal given that this is a new group that needs time to gel. Get the losses out of the way early vs elite teams and then establish identity/rhythm into a mid to late season run.
At least half of my timeline right now is just overreactions... Classic feast or famine mindset... Yes that game was absolutely embarrassing, but considering the road trip wrapped up 3-1 AND you got teams above you dropping a game, we move on...
@natfluential
Not only that but we've already got a core 8/9 guys established. Any vet min signings aren't going to leap frog JK/Moody/Gp2 in the rotation. But the casuals just want to see name brand players sign for the sake of it...
No questioning his team friendly contract and improvement, but some folks suggesting to swap him for Wiggs or JK or even packaging BOTH for Deni+pick have me 💔. Wiggins is rounding into playoff form and was a key contributor to winning a ring. Deni hasn't proven anything yet...
Exactly - appreciate this sentiment. The game was lost well before that also. Imagine the Bucks game if TJD didn't come in to change the moment, 30pt win likely would've been a loss. Dubs didn't manage the Bulls game and got burned. Had the early lead and then let it slip...
Steph has smoked layups. Dray has smoked layups. Wiggins has smoked layups. Klay has smoked layups. TJD has smoked layups. CP has smoked layups. Kuminga has smoked layups…so forth and so on. Make or miss league. It’s tough but you stay focused on making the next one God willing.
As the Ls continue to pile up, play-offs or even the play-in seem to be falling out of reach. Can the Dubs right the ship and hold off the red hot Rockets?

Klay hasn't shown that he can guard the other team's best guard/wing consistently yet. Wiggins has been the primary defender, is a foundational piece for this team, continues to expand his game, and is only 26. Gotta think they re-sign him, it just comes down to $ on both sides.
Stephen Curry this season:
— 1st in clutch PTS
— 1st in clutch FGM
— 1st in clutch 3PM
— 1st in Clutch PTS while trailing
— 1st in Clutch FGM while trailing
— 4th in 4th quarter PPG
— Warriors 34-31, Bulls 32-34
I love DeRozan, but this is 30's award.
Another bad loss at home. The only saving grace as they solidify their position as the 10th seed is that the Dubs seem to play that much better on the road than at home...

@ThePackageJG
Yeah I don't agree. Looney is out there for his defensive mobility and ability to switch on PnR and keep a guy in front without making mistakes. He's playing less than 20mpg and in small doses quite effective. He's come up with some big games too, but it's more about matchups.
People that shouldn’t be on the Warriors next season:
Moses Moody
Klay Thompson
Chris Paul
Kevon Looney
Andrew Wiggins
Dario Saric
Steve Kerr (assistant coach or fire him)
Thoughts?
@jrichardgoodman
I don't really see anyone mentioning / recognizing that CP3 is much better positioned to enable a younger bench to develop and put them in positions to be successful and more useful than Poole was able to. JK / Moody / PBJ etc can all benefit here.

True but when you consider all the games lost this szn due to dray suspension, blown leads, and klay/wiggs struggles this team has the potential to be so much better than their current record. We've seen it in the 2nd half of the szn. A major overhaul is not the automatic answer.
The West is only gonna be better next season. No real regression candidates out of the top 9, obviously have to see what happens with Towns, PG, Harden, LeBron. Grizzlies, Rockets, Spurs should be all be vastly improved
Warriors gotta get serious
I'm Wiggins biggest fan I don't like he has a situation and not available but I understand he is a human being first with Family and I will always respect that 👊
