JK is finally impacting the Warriors in a positive way… By being DNP'd. 🙈
1 more 40+ pt game and Steph will have more of those games after the age of 30 than MJ did! 🤩🙏
I expect him to come back swinging, so that record shouldn't hold for too long. 😊❤
EXCELLENT READ-OUT….
Spencer's a A real athlete…keeps his head, poised beyond belief…
Guts guts guts… A WARRIOR🎼🎶🎶🍀
He's doing what I thought Jimmy was gonna be doing…
Pat Spencer is the Michael Jordan of Jameer Nelsons
He's gonna fall back down to earth hard once he's on the scouting report.
Malik Monk makes the most sense – but what do the Warriors do with all of these guards? They also need another forward back in return in a deal for Monk
Spencer’s game reminds me a little of CP3
Pat is just a very competent point guard. Maybe he can be the Warriors’ TJ McConnell.
Great analysis!
Ty Jerome was pretty good in this role for the Dubs, at least from a scoring perspective (mid range and inside). Can't remember what his passing was like though.
I'm not gonna get my hopes up. When Buddy first got here, we started the season at 12-3 and I started screaming "contender!" from the rooftops. Then he went to sleep until game 7 of RD 1 of the playoffs. He's been a narcoleptic ever since–Awake and playing great on-ball defense and draining movement 3's one second, then turning the ball over and missing every wide open corner 3 the next. So to save myself from disappointment this time, I'm gonna save my excitement to see if he can keep it up–Especially if/when teams consistently start throwing better defenders at him. I agree with your skepticism.
Pat is able to read traffic on both ends. He looked like a traffic controller out there. Kuminga still looked lost on the court. U can see the obvious when Pat is out there vs Podz.
So he’s outplaying the 19th pick in the draft? Wow, so is Ryan Rollins…who knew?
Pat was an elite lacrosse player in college, winning player of the year and setting the record for assists. So it's in his DNA.
Pat Spencer is giving exactly what the Dubs expected to get from Chris Paul a couple years ago.
Pat Spencer, Franchise player.
The funny thing is Podz still got like 30 minutes last night, but coming off the bench he had a much better game than we’re used to getting of late. We can’t give the job back to Podz when Pat is balling out like this. It is what it is. I think we’re all rooting for whatever lineups result in winning basketball. Go Warriors.
When Pat Spencer has 4tos he had a good game. If Kuminga has 2 turnovers it has to get benched.
Melton is going to have the biggest impact on this team come April.
Pat Spencer has a younger brother Cam on the Grizzlies too. As good if not better than Pat but on a worse team.
Spencer been solid. Next, let’s see how he does when other teams scout him for games. Put a double team or trap on him. If he still has around the same production I’ll say he’s legit and needs consistent minutes and a better contract.
How long is Steph out for with a bruise? Something weird going on with that injury
What I like about Officer Pat is he's simple. He's not flashy and not so athletic but he knows his role.
Monk isn't bad, but Monk on the Dubs is not a good idea (this year)
What I would also say caused these 2 wins (and even playing well in losses) is the move to go bigger. Not only is Quentin Post a revelation but he is getting starting center minutes, and his sub has become TJD, which solves many of GS defense and rebounding issues. This, as a whole, could be a big revelation (at least to Steve) that PLAYING BIGGER WINS GAMES. Dray cannot be your every night center and tbh some questions have to be asked if Horford can be it for a larger stretch of time
Stop trying to make Malik Monk happen. It's not going to happen
DeAnthony Melton has been that type of guard for them as well. Elite PnR pg, great defensively, and is a 3 level scorer. I’d rather use the JK trade for long wing/3D type like Trey Murphy or MPJ (wishful thinking) or springy lob threat center that can finish. Unfortunately, TJD is not that guy.
People are forgetting that the Warriors are the 2nd oldest team in the league, and have by far had the toughest schedule up to this point in the season!!!
Need more of Spencer Melton Richard Santos Post Seth and we are good
Pat spencer is what warriors fans thought kuminga was going to be offensively. Kuminga hasn't improve his handle or touch as a offensive player for 5 years now, you can't be bad at both of those and you can't shoot if you're saying you're a potential star player
LeCrosse Jordan
What makes Pat Spencer different than a Monk or Schroeder is that he's such a good passser. His vision of the court is impressive which is also why scouting him won't work well for opposing teams
Pretty good take on possibly bringing in a Malik Monk type player
I see what you're saying with Malik Monk offensively but defensively?…
as much as I love Pat, I think the quib around 5:00 is over emphasizing how much of an impact he would have as the scouting reports come about. His shot hasnt been that consistent otherwise he probably would have been playing more sooner. I would be thrilled if he can reach the level of a Tyus Jones. He's got that dog in him. Another thing to point out, Melton is just getting his feet back under him and, still, he looks pretty good — excited to see him get back to his best self — thats another guy who can move the ball and dribble drive w/in and w/out the Curry ecosystem.
Pat should start with curry at all times
Real talk
que se queden descansando
