hard to out tank the Wizards.
Gui: best contract of the entire league
Yeah kristaps will be out the next three games or four or whatever. Once you start talking about how good he is and what not, it will undoubtedly backfire and cause him to be out for an extended time 😅
Warriors playing big ball is the real story
The chemistry was entertaining including Chuck shooting down the hot take that we need to first see Porzingis with Curry before deciding to bring Porzingis back. It's great though Kylen has decided for now she's okay with GSW bringing back Curry. 😅
Ur right for fans perspective Curry need to play if he 100% ready win or lose❤
I mean if he gonna get hurt so what we expecting next year?? KYLA DONT BE NEGATIVE LIKE KOLSKY I'M GLAD HE GOT TRADED TO OTHER LOCKED ON SHOW😂😂😂👏👏👏
Gui you did it again
KP has played in less than half of the possible gams since being traded to the warriors. Im not sure I would consider that to be "extremely reliable". AND this is when he is fighting for a contract. if we give him a multi year deal, I dont know if we get more than 50-55 games out of him. I consider guys like Karl Malone and John Stockton to be "extremely reliable"
12 minutes in and it was fine… What's the point of coming here after a win only to have ANY buzz removed surgically. What figure Porzingis should be re-signed for- so I'm out? None of us here is qualified for that… you were great Chuck.
Ima say it again imagine when Steph and Jimmy on the floor porzingis will have the easiest looks ever
– Just because he's Dray?
– Just because he's Dray😐
They have not forgotten about Dray💯
$15-$18 million should be the cap
Gui this season is like Richie from Welcome to Derry, no fear just hope
Chuck, I say this as a fellow dude who married way up: If an object is going to obscure one of your faces, make it your own. 😁
We have been playing at the level of teams that want to lose from the Utah game. A win is a win.
Gui and maybe Post are the only sure thing on this team, everyone else is a flip of coin for that day.
Even Porzig is good for playing against bad teams. His health and play is tied to contract years. I would just do a 1 yr 20 or 25M for him. Wouldn’t do a long term deal with him, if someone else gives him a long term deal, would just do a sign and trade
I think the players on the floor now have to win atleast one playoff round in the playoffs to convince me that they are quality players on a competitive team. Having a good game against the Nets and Wizards isnt enough. I remember Jason Caffe had a good last 20 games of a tanking season and the warriors thought he was their answer at PF. Thats kind of where gui is now for me
Warriors need Draymond if faker Kerr is still there as the coach. If they get a new actual basketball coach, we could think about moving off Dray.
Porzingas being in the paint on defense turns away a lot of opponents drives. Without him opponents simply drive and score at the rim at will. p.s.I didn't see this. game, I was speaking of others. And yes, Porzingis will 'work' with Steph and Jimmy.
Warriors will win 38 games this year and first round play in exit
Kuminga had 1 good game since the trade off the bench.you see what happened to Poole he’s a non existent now
We still crying about kuminga and kerr or nah?? 🍿
Thank you Atlanta??
It is worth comparing GUI to Kuminga because it validates Kerr’s decision to prioritize GUI. GUI has a better three point shot than Kuminga and is skillful at working inside the paint. Kuminga Kuminga drives to the basket with lightning speed but becomes predictable and unable to figure out other ways to make a basket when defenders block his path. GUI is a much better fit for Kerr’s system because he can pass effectively out of the paint as well.
