Told you Deni can be top 10
Maybe mvp in 2-3 years
Jethro where did you get that sick hat?
Team needs more shooters
it's honestly insane that half the team is injured with no clear date of when they will return (and a few other players keep getting injured for a few games and then returning)
while Deni is out there doing 30+ minutes each game absorbing so much contact and hits I'm surprised he's still able to walk after (Knock on wood)
The teams feeling like the “we believe” warriors. When the warriors took down the mavericks in the first round.
how's the fans in the arena? do they like deni? are they see him as the future of the franchise? is there any israeli/jewish hate towards him or none? on tv its seems like the fans kinda like him, but not as much as you expected them to
but maybe that's not true, maybe the right formula is the current one, deni is the leader, clingan gets his focus, toumani is back to being toumani, sharpe and caleb are making some shots. maybe this current formula is better than scoot and grant, maybe we need deni to play this magic johnson 6'9 does it all point guard. maybe we need those hustle hungry players like cissoko, and not that already-have-too-much-money like jrue and grant. maybe deni is better when he plays 40 minutes a game, im not sure. but we are winning games.
