80#GoldenStateWarriors #JamesWiseman ...to watch the actual game for free, go to nbagleague.com (or it's on NBC Sports Bay Area for the local folks)
TOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:
(To be filled in as we go. Note that timestamps are not functional on livestreams until the livestream is overwith.)
15:00 everyone is too harsh with the Wiseman judgments, he just needs to play games/reps
17:00 busting more social media myths: No one on the Warriors staff is pissed at Wiseman
18:30 Moses Moody has played more games last season (52) than Wiseman has in his career (50)
19:30 Trevion Williams is a solid player but he is in no way, shape or form ready for the NBA
32:45 theory: Wiseman is slipping the screen more in G League because there aren't guys getting the screen who are named Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole (the "go do whatever the hell you want, within reason, James" player development approach)
34:00 JP and Looney left clues as to that approach ("dominate", "shoot 50 shots")
35:15 Wiseman's $12M salary (next year) is a factor in all of this
49:00 I just don't think AAU or HS or college teaches the fundaments: how to do an entry pass (to Wiseman), how to have better timing to the ball on box-outs
51:00 I would to think that Joe Lacob, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr have learned something about this (lack of) player development and trending towards younger, unfundamentalized players and will be on the lookout for that in future transactions such as the Draft
52:00 if you're not going to trust Joe Bob Steve, who are you gonna trust? There are 29 other franchise brain trusts out there and I'd like to think that we can trust this one for GSW
55:30 how do we avoid bullying each other on social media with the labels back and forth? There's only one answer: POSITIVITY
57:00 "trade Wiseman while he still has value" -- right now his stock is low, so why not keep getting him reps to increase his value? Also, it depends on the market and demand for Wiseman
1:08:00 Paul George and Kawhi not playing tomorrow? I just hope the Warriors don't take the Clippers lightly. This reminds me of rec league when we would have 5-on-4 games
1:10:00 my theory on why Wiseman didn't play in New Orleans: stay hidden in G League, no chance to get dominated by Jonas Valunciunas
1:22:15 Joe should be giving Bob leeway to take calls about Wiseman (someone commented that Joe won't ever part with James)
1:23:30 as far as actually trading Wiseman for Poeltl, I just think the Warriors can win the championship without a Poeltl, that Kuminga is the key if there is a key for the 8th or 9th player
1:25:30 by looking up the 8-9 guys that won Game 6, Iguodala was the 9th player, so he can possibly be our 8th player in the playoffs
1:28:00 Wiseman runs the floor better than Mobley or Bamba (that's exclusive of half-court, just saying as an athlete)
1:33:00 Wiseman experiment was only about seeing if we had another dimension to offer
*** I MENTION THAT I PROVIDE THE MOST CONTENT OF ANY WARRIORS ANALYST, LOOK AT THESE TIMESTAMPS!!! ***
2:02:00 I think we will smash the Jazz, I'm waiting for a commenter to respond to my offer to bet on it, but I worry about the basketball gods
2:03:15 is Jordan Clarkson out of the Sixth Man Award running because he's starting these days?
2:09:00 does the psychology of colors come into play at all when a team comes in to face the Warriors, i.e., the proverbial "target on our back" is really the blue-and-gold traditional jersey?
2:10:00 one or two bad apples showed up to discredit our Steph/Harry Potter post in COMMUNITY
2:12:00 I go on a tangent about Marvel/MCU YouTubers and the like (S/O Ryan Arey of ScreenCrush)
*** Next probable livestream: ***
Wed 11/22 LA Clippers at Golden State Warriors, go live at 6:30PM PST, tipoff at 7:00PM.
