Strength In Numbers + Vintage Splash Brothers Night Extend Golden State Warriors Winning Streak to 5

There aren’t a lot of adages that ring true most of the time when you hear one it’s cliche it’s generic it’s maybe somewhat representative of reality but if there’s one adage that is absolutely for real strength the numbers and the Golden State Warriors proved that tonight folks is this Warriors team for

Real are we witnessing the The Comeback the the reemergence of what we saw at the beginning of the season a team that might actually compete for a World Championship we just might we’ll break it all down next beautiful win for the Golden State Warriors especially after that brutal Super Bowl we’ll break it

You can follow the program on threads at locked on Warriors where we post all updates folks speaking of this golden sa War Warriors team they were back in Utah for the first time since the tragic untimely passing of their former assistant coach Deon movich and Steve Kerr was not there

Steve Kerr traveling to Serbia as part of the the funeral uh procession so uh Kenny ainson the much maligned Kenny ainson filled in and his Motif apparatus his agenda was pretty apparent let’s get everybody playing let’s spread this thing out and evenly distribute minutes so that everyone could play and

It was successful I’m looking at the box score right now eight players finished in double figers eight players hit a three-pointer in tonight’s game the Golden State Warriors for starters this is a a a highly efficient game against the Utah Jazz team that the Warriors are now starting to put some distance

Between in terms of the playing standings the Warriors now have a game and a half uh lead over the Utah Jazz uh who they play again Thursday as a makeup um for that game I just mentioned that they had to cancel a few weeks ago so the Warriors have two more games before

The All-Star break they play the Clippers on Wednesday and then the Utah Jazz on Thursday again as a makeup and that wins the game against the Clippers that’s going to be huge Kyla Mills will join me tomorrow uh for a preview and just to catch up on

Everything going on with the Warriors at least statistically we’ll talk about some matchup numbers defensively which fiveman lineups are thriving um but this was just a a consistent beautiful played basketball game this was Warriors basketball I I don’t know really how else to describe

It it was uh I mean if there’s one thing he was lacking it’s traumatic but I think anyone who loves this team anyone who’s a Bay Area sports fan I think was clamoring for this after that just utterly repulsive game yesterday between the Niners and the Chiefs uh if you’re

If you’re still mentally checked out after that uh debacle I feel your pain believe me so the Warriors doing this was huge um but as a team though I mean they shot 45.5% from the three-point line 20 of 44 from Deep they were incredibly efficient it starts of course with Wardell Stephen

Curry who is not well never mind I was about to say it wasn’t like a great shooting night it was good not great but then seven of 16 from deep is great it’s fantastic it’s still close to 50% and Steph uh courtesy of a few accounts on social media that discuss

NBA stats 10 instances in the history of the NBA of a player making seven or more three-pointers in three consecutive games Steph has hit 11 he’s hit nine and then tonight Stephen Curry was seven of 16 from Beyond The Arc making it three straight games of seven or more threes

He has done that five times no other player has done it more than once there’s only five other players who have ever even accomplished that feat and Stephen Curry the greatest shooter in the history of this game it’s not even close I don’t even know who’s who else

Is even in the discussion with him he’s done it five times one more time three straight games of seven or more three-pointers made he’s done it five times tonight makes number five Duncan Robinson Dame Lillard his teammate Klay Thompson who also had a great game we’ll

Talk about him in just a moment Mike Miller I don’t know if you folks remember that guy I remember a lot of his playing days in Memphis and then George McLoud rounds out the list six players total have hit seven plus three-pointers in three straight games and Steph’s done it five times Stephen

Curry stat line for the night total he played 32 minutes he was the only Warriors player to hit the 30 minute Mark and again this was a symbolic of Kenny ainson again just really focusing on evening out the distribution making sure everyone gets a decent run uh the

Only player who really didn’t get a a good run tonight in terms of minutes was Gees Santos who played some garbage time at the end played two minutes but Stephen Curry leading the way 32 minutes 5 Seconds nine of 19 from the field seven of 16 as I mentioned from Beyond

The Arc uh interestingly enough not a single trip to the free throw line um which has become the the norm unfortunately with this egregious uh behavior and conduct by NBA officials this year not one trip to the free throw line but Steph still finishes with 25

Points he also had 10 assists he also had six rebounds what a beautiful night for Stephen Curry and again we’re the today’s date is February 12th the NBA season has about two plus months remaining in it do not rule Steph out for MVP folks all right there’s only

One player that I am egregiously biased towards and that is Stephen Curry but it’s not just because I love the guy it’s because I really truly believe he is one of the all-time greatest players ever what we’re witnessing when Stephen Curry on a basketball court is the embodiment of greatness and so even

Though like I I’m biased towards them I never feel like I’m being subjective in whatever argument I’m making for him and and whatever discussion comes up with Stephen Curry I don’t have to be hyperbolic with him his greatness is blatant and is subjective for all to see

Do not rule him out for MVP again we we got uh 31 games remaining in the in the NBA season if my math is correct that’s a lot of time it’s enough time for the Warriors to let’s say who who by the way are now have a five-game winning streak

Now the longest winning streak for them this season let’s say they go on a tear in these last 31 games let’s say they win 25 of their last 31 or some insane number like that finish the season let’s say the top six top five are you really

Not going to bring Stephen Curry up in the MVP discussions I mean this is a fairly wideopen race this year I’m seeing Nicola yic uh his mentioned a lot I do feel like Kawhi Leonard is a player who his play this year has been outstanding certainly warranting MVP

Discussions I don’t understand how the NBA and anyone else is not including Anthony Edwards in the MVP discussions but Stephen Curry just keep an eye out because if this continues he damn well better be in those discussions he’s having another fantastic season when we come back I’m

Going to I’m going to lay down what he’s been doing this year as a whole whole because this is another unbelievable phenomenal Stephen Curry year and if I’m the only person advocating for for Stephen Curry to at least start being mentioned a little utterance of MVP talk

With Stephen Curry’s name in the same sentence so be it but that’s my boy I’m gonna fight for him and it’s not because of bias that I argue for him it’s because he’s literally one of the greatest ever dribble of basketball that ever lace him up and play NBA B

Basketball and but it wasn’t just Steph tonight who had fantastic games again this was just an unbelievable unbelievably consistent performance from top to bottom in terms of the number of players who just really showed up tonight and never made this I mean there were moments where the Utah

Jazz kept it close here and there but this game was in control by the Golden State Warriors from beginning to end been a while since we’ve seen this Warriors team in cruise control just taking care of business where where you just know right like the confidence as a

Fan base that’s been missing for months the confidence is back folks like I know you all are feeling good about this team right now and rightfully so now how good are they the Clippers are going to be a massively huge test we’ll talk about that again I’m going to talk about how

Steph’s doing this season because he needs to be in those MVP discussions if this continues um and then his his Splash brother uh Klay Thompson had a fantastic game led the team in scoring tonight lot to talk about uh first though let’s give some love to one of

Our sponsors for this evening and that is who is up who are we who’s paying our bills tonight oh and that is one of my favorite sponsors one of my favorite applications and that is prize picks Well here here’s the thing step this is how I know Stephen Curry is starting to

Turn it around there has been there was a stretch this year where Steph his number on prize picks right the whole premise of prize picks it’s daily Fantasy Made Easy it’s not traditional Sports gambling you’re not betting on teams you’re betting on individuals and whether or not they’re going to let’s

Say score more or less than a certain amount uh maybe an individual is going to grab more or less than a certain amount of rebounds right Steph’s total when it comes to points is always egregiously high and there was a spell this year until recently where I stayed

Away from Steph in terms of betting on him because I did not know which version which verion was going to show up but the step of old at least when it comes to points is back in full force even though tonight was a little below what we’ve been accustomed to solid 25o 10

Assist KN for Steph and the point is if you keep track of all these individual performances if you’re feeling good about knowing who is going to put up a certain number of points who’s going to dish out a certain number of assists whatever the measurable is you should be

Playing prize picks because not only is it fun but it’s an opportunity for for you to win money based strictly off your sports knowledge it’s absolutely fantastic it’s a ride and as I’ve mentioned I’ll totally DM anyone who wants some tips uh because when it comes

Locked on sports today Channel now on Amazon Fire TV so how the hell is Stephen Curry doing this year let’s take a look I mean so Steph started the season on a tear and I’ve said this on the show before and I’ll say it again just because it is esoteric information

What I mean by that is what I’m about to share with you is not welln and and and it is by Design because I don’t think Stephen Curry like most great players don’t really like other people knowing their Trade Secrets like what their strategy is for success and a couple

Years ago in an interview Stephen Curry and I do believe this was inadvertent revealed his Outlook in terms of his approach on a complete NBA season and in this interview he revealed that he sees it as three parts part one is the beginning of the Season he goes all out

He wants to start the season uh you know on fire like Gang Busters you you see him putting up uh MVP level number is usually the beginning of a season and this lasts for about a month or two and then he gets into the middle part of the

Season and again this is the part where I don’t think he meant to confess this but he admitted Stephen Curry’s admitted this in the middle part of the season he lowers his gear by a notch like he’ll go from from fifth gear to fourth gear by

Design and a lot of that is Preservation he wants to keep his energy going he wants to stay fresh for the important season the real season the Warriors Invitational when it starts in April and you know he he didn’t reveal specifics in terms of like what what the exact

Length of these windows are like when part one is when part two is and when part three is and part three is is him scatching it back up uh into the postseason I don’t think he’s at that part of the season yet in terms of his mentality but he’s back on he’s having

Again a fantastic season and we saw the 60p pointer the other day the one that was a heartbreaker the only loss they’ve had in in uh in recent history The Warriors have now won seven of eight again a five-game winning streak but Stephen Curry on the year just to break

Down his numbers 28.1 points per game all right and this is in 33.4 minutes per game that’s important his minutes are slightly down I believe his in fact I’ll pull it up right now in terms of what his uh his career average is because I know in some of the the years

Past in in some of his earlier Seasons when he was younger I think that number was uh closer to 36 um his minutes right now let me see if I can find that real fast his oh so his career minutes average is 34.3 so he’s about a he’s about a minute

Less than his career average again 28.1 points per game his career average is 24.8 uh 28.1 points per game is fantastic by the way uh he’s averaging 4.4 rebounds per game 4.8 Reb uh assists per game and those numbers have dropped slightly just because of how deep this team

Is but in terms of shooting efficiency 46.4% from the field which for a point guard for a player of his stature is fantastic uh you know it usually when you talk about bigger players inside players that number is 50 plus perc for obvious reasons you’re close to the rim

Stephen Curry most of his shots are three-pointers they’re deep so 46.4% from the field overall is great but it’s his three-point number which is just outstanding Stephen Curry this year is shooting 42.1% from deep that is absurd anything above 40% in general is fantastic 33% and above is good that’s the Mendoza Line

But for for Stephen Curry to be at 42.1% shooting from Deep on the year that is an exceptional number and again I don’t think he’s in the MVP discussion right now I’ll finish up the the propaganda here in terms of Stephan the MVP but if this keeps going and

Especially if the Warriors keep winning because unlike the All-Star Game the MVP a lot of it is about an individual’s impact on the team and how much they’re affecting a team winning or losing vice versa and if this keeps up I I firmly believe Steph should have

A third MVP on his resume I do think it’s warranted I still think he got robbed in 2021 I know the Warriors finished that se season as the eight seed they were six games above 500 that year um but he had just a a markedly better season than Nicol yic that that

Year I felt like he was raw 2021 Steph was was one of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history and if he keeps this up this year and if the Warriors keep winning this year I want to see some goddamn advocacy I want other people fighting for this Stephen Curry

In my humble opinion deserves a third MVP and if this keeps up people should be fighting for that um Stephen Curry’s three-point shooting career number by the way and this is just how absurd he is as a shooter altogether he’s a career 42.7% three-point shooter so as out

Standing as 42.1% is it’s not even his he’s not even matching his career high or his career average I apologize his career average is 42.7 that is absolutely absurd now Klay Thompson I want to talk about Klay real fast here um because he had a really good game tonight and Clay’s been a

Topic of discussion this season for a lot of reasons uh this is one of his Worst Years of his career uh you know his numbers are rivaling what he was putting up uh his rookie and second years in the NBA uh in an interview he did with the

Ringer I believe uh Klay Thompson and this quote was making the rounds I think earlier this afternoon or late morning um Klay Thompson has said um that he he admitted in this interview that his game is regressing but he also said he would be okay finishing his career with the

Warriors as a role player that’s awesome so so we’re seeing maturation from clay in this regard because a lot of players of his stature have a hard time dealing with Father time with reality hitting you in the face and that’s what’s happened to Clay this year

He’s not having he’s having a good not great season but but he also will so so that’s good news for anyone out there who loves clay and is hoping that Clay is going to be a lifer with this Warriors team that was a very encouraging interview in the sense that

He’s okay with that role he’s accepting of it and that’s huge so um we’ll see what happens this off off season in terms of his free agent uh uh opportunities and and so forth but don’t be surprised if he stays and the fact that he is uh willing to stay for a role

That is not what he’s been accustomed to great news Klay tonight was awesome man he play he was 5 Seconds shy of playing 30 minutes he was 11 of 19 from the field he was three for seven from Beyond The Arc 26 points six rebounds dude was

Awesome kudos to Klay Thompson one last thing about Stephen Curry real fast he was a plus 30 in that rating plus 30 and you want want to know what’s even crazier than that Stephen Curry didn’t even lead the team in net rating that honor went to Andrew Wiggins who is a

Plus 31 tonight Wiggins statline for the evening 17 points two rebounds know but but here here’s the part of Wiggins game that I I want to give him his his props because it is deserved it is warranted his three-point shots back and that’s huge in the big picture if we’re talking

About the Warriors being legitimate World Championship contenders Andrew Wiggins has to regain the shooting form that he had in 2022 when in the I think believe in the postseason I’ll look up the actual numbers real fast but I believe Wiggins in that Championship run led the team in the postseason don’t

Call me on this I’ll look it up right now but I think he led the team in the postseason in three-point shooting and this year at least entering tonight’s game Wiggins has been shooting it from Deep 31.7% which is awful okay again anything below 33 is bad now the numbers going up

But Wiggins tonight was a perfect three of three and if he can regain that shooting stroke where he is once again a reli able three-point shooter where you’re not cringing every time he puts up an outside shot Matt own I mean it’s it would be unbelievable if we can see

That version of Wiggins come back and it’s looking like it and and his post season by the way in 2021 2022 uh just pulling up his numbers right now um okay so he shot according to this he shot 33% which is good not great I I

Don’t know why I thought he was like the leading three-point shooter for the team of the postseason maybe it was the NBA Finals I don’t know I could have swore I heard that somewhere but regardless Andrew Wiggins a plus 31 yeah be optimistic folks be excited folks I mean it’s it’s this is

Incredible this really is so so Wiggins had a fantastic night uh and just going across the board real fast in terms of the other leaders again Wiggins had 17 your two scoring leaders were Steph and Clay Steph with 25 Klay leading all scores with 26 Jonathan kaminga had a

Soo game tonight I thought it was a little sus that he did not finish either the first half or the end of the game um you would think someone who’s established himself as the second best player on this team which he has um would be cemented to finish games no

Matter what but at the same time when you look at the minute breakdown he he played 27 minutes uh and you can see Kenny ainson agenda for this game tonight was fairly simple it was let’s let’s keep this thing balanced let’s get everybody minutes um he’s stuck very

Hard to his rotations and so even though kaminga did not finish the game still had a a a good 14 points uh was four of 10 from the field hit his one three-pointer that he put up um only had we have two rebounds so not a good

Not great night for him he had three turnovers as well I saw someone in the chat mention that he sometimes strug struggles with length uh you know I’ve I’ve I’ve explored that theory but then I’ve seen him play against teams that are incredibly long and big and he has

No problems with it so I don’t know man every everybody has off nights and kaminga if if kinga’s off nights are 14 points in 27 minutes of play shooting 40% from the field I’ll take it you know for a kid who’s 21 years old the second youngest player on this team it’s all

Good Gary Payne the second by the way his second game back after a series of injuries scored in double figures again he looks good his impact you can tell hell it you know it’s doesn’t take a basketball Savant or expert to to watch a Warriors game and see gp2 out there

And think damn that dude is making an impact so and he had another fantastic game tonight 11 points a perfect four for four from the field he had his one has he even missed the shots as he came back I could have swore his stat line

The last game was perfect as well was a plus nine in net rating and rounding out the other players who scored in double figures Draymond Green who was in foul trouble early in this game uh he was brought back in I believe with four fouls and just played through it um he

Finished with 12 points his offense has been markedly improved this year uh was five for seven from the field Dre made that buzzer beater at the half was it the half of the first quarter I think it was yeah I think it was to end the half

Uh he hit a half a shot from mid qut um which was awesome so Draymond Green finished with 12 points uh grabbed nine rebounds grabbed eight assists not a triple single for Draymond Green and other double figur other scores and double figures again gp2 I mentioned had

11 points Brandon psky had 10 points and 24 minutes of play um and then Trace Jackson Davis who played Just nine minutes had 11 points and when we come back we’re gonna talk about Trace because um something tells me he needs to play and his dnps are a little Baff

Ling um I we all know Steve Kerr has no patience for rookies and for young players uh and so clearly you know he’ll he’ll just banish Trace Jr if if you know the performance is not up to snuff but something tells me Trace Jr has to

Be in this lineup and has to be a part of this if the Warriors are going to be legitimate contenders uh going into the postseason and I saw something tonight that I absolutely loved and we’ll talk about that in just a moment moment after we give our some love to our other

Sponsor for this evening which is better help and look after that 49ers game yesterday this is first of all this is this is me as a person just reveal how pathetic of a human being I am when my sports teams lose it legitimately bums me out I think much more so than a

Human being should be bummed out when the Warriors until this recent ride of success before before they had a five-game winning streak before they won what seven of their last eight I hope I’m correct on that they they’ve had a hard season I mean they had fallen what

Five games below 500 four games below 500 whatever it was I think it was five I mean that bummed me out that Niners game yesterday bumed me out that stuff depresses me and I know these aren’t necessarily real world type problems but look everybody’s different certain things might affect you

Of the locked on podcast Network your team every day one final segment of locked on NBA you can follow me on threads at dog wild thank you for making locked on Warriors your first listen everyday for the every dayers we’re back at this tomorrow with my partner in crime on this program for

Two days a week kylin Mills she’s gonna be joining me we’re gonna break down this game some more and then discuss that that heavyweight fight that’s coming on Wednesday Warriors and Clippers uh you know the Warriors passed a huge test when they beat the Phoenix Suns on Saturday that was a thriller in

And of itself but now they’re facing a different Beast the LA Clippers are the the NBA’s Elite this year uh last time I touched on the standings I I mentioned the fact that there was a four-way tie in the NBA for first place um and the Clippers were one

Of those four teams if we look at the standings today uh there’s one team in first right now and that’s a Minnesota Timberwolves and again Anthony Edwards it really is shocking he’s not in the MVP discussions more than he should be he’s what an unbelievable player he is

But a half game behind the Minnesota Timberwolves are the LA Clippers who have completely turned things around they’re currently 35 and 16 on the season and they’re tied for second with the OKC Thunder both teams a half game behind Minnesota and then the reigning Champion Denver Nuggets are in fourth

Place right now just one game back so Wednesday is a huge test for the Golden State Warriors just in the sense that they’re playing now one of the elite in the NBA now who are the Elite in the this beautiful game that we love to follow I mean you got to mention the

Boston Celtics right they have the best record in the NBA as a whole a lot of people are calling them the favorites to win the World Championship this year maybe rightfully so something tells me the Milwaukee Bucks even though they’ve had a roller coaster of a season they

Had a mid-season uh head coaching change very reminiscent of when LeBron uh pukan David Blatz some years ago this time Giannis got rid of uh of Adrien and replaces him with Doc R Who on a side note in my humble opinion is grossly overrated as a head coach but

Nonetheless with the amount of talent the Milwaukee Bucks have I consider them to be among the elite and I think they will be uh in that final two it wouldn’t surprise me if we see the Celtics and the Bucks uh facing off in the Eastern Conference Finals the New York Knicks

Are another heavyweight type team they’re looking damn good this year and then you look at the west and it’s Minnesota the Clippers the Thunder the Nuggets maybe the Sun maybe the Pelicans I don’t know if the Pelicans are are in that same level but they’re good they’re damn good and we’re

Gonna find out if the Warriors are in that discussion as well they I mean that’s a huge game it’s a good thing it’s at home and um I’m I’m I’m fascinated by that game now one thing I wanted to touch on to to wrap up the

Show tonight we only got a minute left here I the the trace Jackson Davis Draymond Green combo I want to see more of that now now everyone’s talking about how you know the offense and whatever problems the Warriors had for over half a season this year got unlocked it got

Released because the the puzzle piece was fit when Draymond Green came back from a suspension and suddenly you had Dron facilitating the offense keeping everything flowing with kaminga and Andrew Wiggins playing together right uh you the net rating for that duo was awful you know people thought it was a

Just a lost cause having those two play together then Draymond comes back and all of a sudden now you’re seeing um Wiggins and kaminga playing great basketball together with Draymond facilitating um and when you add Stephen Curry to the mix you have close to your full identity but there are going to be

Games this season and there going to be opponents the nuggets are a team that especially comes to mind talking about this the Lakers comes to mind uh talking about this when the the Timberwolves is another one there are some really big teams out there and even though this

Dre kaminga Wiggins lineup is working so far when you’re talking about a seven game series against a massively huge lineup like those teams I just listed it’s you’re still very small and what I do hope we see in this stretch 30 plus games remaining of the regular

Season is Trace Jackson DAV is starting to get some real minutes I don’t know if seeing him tonight for the for nine minutes was a coincidence I I don’t know if that scripted and planned but Draymond is clearly a player coach out there who is a fantastic leader right

And he’s bringing out the best in kaminga he’s helping rejuvenate Andrew Wiggins and I want to see Trace Jackson Davis out there with Dre I want to see a a big run where we have f a fiveman lineup of Steph Wiggins at the two where he’s naturally uh positioned kaminga at

The three so you don’t see these bigger Longer teams causing problems Draymond Green back at the four where he naturally should be playing and where there’s less burden on his on his body uh playing against bigger players and then we have Trace Jackson Davis so you

Have a natural five there I want to see that and if that works folks if that fiveman unit can dominate The Warriors are legitimate World Championship contenders I’ll go to the Grave saying that I really believe it thank you for joining me tonight we’ll be back at this tomorrow with kylin byebye

Cyrus Saatsaz started the week with a live postgame show following the Golden State Warriors extending their winning streak to 5 thanks to a vintage Splash Brothers performance and the team living up to its adage of Strength In Numbers.

  1. JK got blocked a lot but he'll learn to time that better. It's a game of learning , adjusting, improving

  2. Gotta agree with you. Dre with TJD. Dubs can win games against the elites but the exhaustion factor has to kick in playing against bigger, younger teams. 7 games with a small lineup is a huge ask even of any team. And then being tired and over working makes injuries more possible

  3. LOL at 2021 steph curry getting mvp. He got bounced int he play in Tournament when his team had home court advantage…….. bruh? thats basically a formality for an mvp to take out a 9th seeded team on your home floor.

  4. I love Steph as much as anyone but MVP?! 😂😂 Warriors are in 10th place and winning now cause Draymond is back and has unlocked the Kuminga/Wiggins lineup. Also, GP2 is back so our defense is much better. You have guys like Jokic averaging nearly a triple double 26-12-9, and Shai Gil Alexander from OKC averaging 31-5.6-6.6 whose team is in 2nd place. Boston is a league best 41-12 with Tatum averaging 27-8.5-4.7.

    Warriors can’t climb high enough for Steph to get MVP, also his numbers are good, but not out of this world. You’re bias is showing 😊

  5. Them boys back.. imagine this story being completely written off draymond almost being kicked out the league Wiggins losing his powers to the monstars, kuminga calling Kerr out the front office threatening to have a fire sale at trade deadline .. if they still pull off best believe this will be better than the last dance

  6. Well I may be a little biased here but I'm from Oakland and went to University of San Francisco. The school that Bill Russell put on the map with back-to-back championships in the 1950s. When he went to Boston after winning those two NCAA championships I watched them on TV in the late 50s and early 1960s. What I saw on the screen and what I read in the box score the next day in the Oakland Tribune was strength numbers. Very few of the players got more than 20 points. Almost all of them were double digits though. They had Sam Jones with 15 or 16 had Tom Sanders with 15 or so. He had Russell with 12 or do. It had Cousy with 17..kc Jones with13 and it goes on and on that plus defense as what won them all those championships

  7. If Wiggs can stay around 15-18 PPG, Klay hovers between 16-20, and JK stays in double digits that should alleviate pressure from Steph

  8. Who vote for MVP? The media! Who voted Steph no.3 for all star starter ? The media! So I won’t hold my breath for it

  9. TJD is a big body who can move. Play Gui and TJD at the same time big bodies who can bang, alternate with Wiggs and JK.

  10. Alright normal fab Steph. But how great was GP2! TJD! Yes! More time for him! Wiggs starting to enjoy playing again! And the energy of Lester Q, Moody, Podz… whoa!

  11. Oh! Almost forgot — Santos! No one can see the ceiling for Moody, Podz, and Lester Q. Given sufficient minutes, I’d be surprised if they all don’t breakout!!

  12. Wiggs can ball — WHEN he’s in the RIGHT MINDSET!! He seems to be rising with the team. When he’s aggressive everyone can see the Air Canada! GP2 harassed the Jazz like a swarm of bees!

  13. We have not had a shot blocker since Andrew bogut. TJD blocks shots , sets screens, good passing , lob threat, pick and rolls. And he shoots better free throws than Bogut. If TJD starts bullying and being a goon then you can’t take him out of the game anymore. Picture a bigger draymond lol

  14. Play – more minutes for Moody, Lester Q, and TJD! Klay had a good night but was lowest in +/–. Where are the minutes coming from? Klay, Saric, Looney…
