QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:

• James Wiseman on having that run vs Brooklyn: “I was able to play through my mistakes…get some reps in.” (me)

• On the dip in spirit around the team: “Just pick each other up…hard times…don’t got all of our pieces.” (me)

• On the Memphis Grizzlies: “I’m super excited just playing against Memphis (hometown).” (me)

• On the Grizzlies frontcourt matchup: “Make sure that I match the intensity…physicality…it’s gonna be a rebounding game for sure.“ (me)

• Andrew Wiggins participated in Warriors practice today, per Draymond Green, who added with a smile that he didn’t know if he was supposed to share that info. (Monte Poole)

• Steve Kerr confirms that Andrew Wiggins participated in Warriors practice, as did Donte DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo should be available to play on Christmas. Wiggins is questionable. JaMychal Green did not practice. (CJ Holmes, Monte Poole)

• On the team’s struggles: “We lost nine of 11 last year in March. We were reeling quite a bit at that stage, and we bounced back…No. 1, you just have to stay the course, and No. 2, you rely on your recent history, you rely on the vets who have been there, who have been through these journeys…It’s really important the vibe in the room remains positive…culture…our vets understand that and our young guys are learning it”.” (CJ Holmes, me)

• On how important the homestand is: “Right now is about improving our play, improving the detail, taking care of the ball, transition defense, all the basic stuff that we know you have to be good at in order to win consistently. And then hopefully get healthy during the second half of the season, and lots of time to still accomplish what we want to accomplish…It’s very important, but the next 40 games after that are really important, too. I don’t think this is a make-or-break moment in the season or anything like that. We’re not too far away from the rest of the pack in the West. We know that we’re eventually going to have to kick it into gear and get on a run. But with Steph out, that’s a big challenge.” (CJ Holmes)

• On being 11th in the West: “I don’t think about any of that right now. We still have so many games left. And everybody is sort of bunched together. The biggest thing for us is just to start playing better, to put some consistency into our game and be able to rely on some things. As we do that, the picture will become clearer.” (Monte Poole)

• On the Christmas Game: “Anytime you play a team in the playoffs, a rivalry starts to form. If you want to talk historic rivalry, Lakers, Celtics, whoever else, has multiple playoff series. There’s a lot of respect, and with respect comes the chirping. It’s great for the fans and both franchises to be in the position that we’re in. They’re on the rise the last few years and we’re hoping to keep our run going and it’s an exciting matchup.” (Shayna Rubin)

NOTE: From Golden State Warriors practice, two days before Christmas Game vs Memphis Grizzlies, held at Chase Center in San Francisco, CA. We will go live for the MEM-GSW game on Sun 12/25 at 4:30PM PST, which tips off at 5:00PM.

  2. Not only in scoring…his role is to get more rebound and shot block…I want him to be a good low post defender

  3. Lol.. Wiseman could turn a corner in this game or he could look so bad against those big boys….tell wiseman just don't jump on December dang!!

  4. We need to get Crowder for the last roster spot we still have our mid-level extension and have picks to get him

  5. Keep this beast because he has the potential to be a superstar. All he needs is time and experience to figure it out. Go James!
