TOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:
(To be filled in as we go. Note that timestamps are not functional on livestreams until the livestream is overwith.)
12:00 our nickname for Ty Jerome is henceforth "TyRoam"
17:00 L2M report from Boston Celtics game last night: 5 missed calls in OT
20:00 4min15 Q1 Jordan Poole misses layup but he just needs to finish, developing, later 3min00 JP finds Moody, JP is cutting up the Cavs defense (and last night)
22:30 JP going through the lane like a hot knife does butter, casuals criticizing the small-ball lineup even though we loved the pace last night plus so does Chris Mullin and Dorrell Wright
23:30 PBJ pays immediate dividends (catch and shoot 3 off the bench) 1min15
26:30 Cavs buzzer-beater: if Moody were an "elite" defender, he would've rotated over to the Levert three with 3 seconds or less left to go (think Andre Iguodala)
31:00 PBJ steps on the line in the corner, that's three mental errors by the rookie: 1) defensive 3 sec, 2) didn't help the help on the drive past Moody and JK, 3) this one.
34:00 7min30 Q2 PBJ should've shot the ball (mental mistake No. 4)
46:00 looking at the play where JK called PBJ to leave and posted up Garland, but did not attack early enough before the Mobley show
50:00 2min15 JP blocked at the rim again, hopefully will put that as No.1 priority at practice (as has been done by PBJ)
52:00 Kerr failed to call timeout (5 of them left) with Donte writhing in pain in the key
53:30 Cavs commit penalty foul with 6.9 seconds left, Daughterty said in the pregame that the Cavs tend to play down to their competition, which he ironically said was a symptom of a young team (when we all know our veteran team here has that same malady)
55:30 Kuminga dumb foul with 6.9 sec (all these youngster mistakes)
56:30 0.6 sec remaining, Lamb fouls Mobley, he gets a little foul happy sometimes but it's part of the package (of having good instincts, for example, even when he fouls, he actually is in the right place)
58:00 DomS59, new commenter: "wow, I'm surprised" by halftime score: what we do here on LGW is we try not to predict, enjoy moments, and embrace the unknown.
1:04:00 Mac McClung: still not a good fit for Kerr System, but congrats to him for being in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest -- it's a free trip to Utah, a free cameo on TV -- HOT TAKE: If there are no Warriors in the Three-Point Contest, then for DubNation, the Slam Dunk Contest is must-see TV
1:07:15 Serge Ibaka is a minimum salary: to do any deals, I think as of today, we would have no choice but to include Moody in any deal and I'm still not sure I want to mortgage the future mainly because I've been through a two-decade rebuild let alone what Lacob says of "five-year rebuild" (Houston Rockets aren't gonna be in contention for the WCS anytime soon and they're in Year 4) -- also "play better", if our potential was last night's roster
1:16:00 HOT TAKE: I would rather lose the 5th championship ("waste prime") than go through a 5+ year rebuild
1:18:00 9min30 good news is Cavs walk the ball up (we're up 13)
1:18:30 9min00 JK triple, Cavs probably have his 25.8% 3PP on their scouting report, leaving him open
1:19:30 8min00 JP seems to miss wide open threes
1:22:00 7min00 JP hard foul of Levert after the turnover, needs to keep his temper in check
1:32:45 3min37 Q3 JP bad shot over Raul Neto, needs to keep his temper in check
1:43:00 0min07 Q3 JP tech, I remember when I was 23 years old, never thinking I made a mistake, you think you're invincible and you're in denial of any call against you. The struggle to get beyond yourself is a tough one for 20s.
1:46:30 10min00 Lamb catch and shoot, Kevin Love can't believe the young Cavs missed the scouting report
1:49:00 7min56 Neto steps on the sideline, this is normally the NBA, we are just spoiled with 3 hall of famers
1:58:00 I don't think JP should be thrown under the bus after games when other 23-year-olds (like the Cavs, Garland dribbling off his foot for example) are making 23yo mistakes too
2:09:00 the good news about 20yo's is that they'll be 25-27yo and when that happens sometimes you sit back and say, "Damn, we are good," as you win some games, further anecdotes to me why I don't want a five-year rebuild
2:14:30 00min13.9 Q4 JP is actually NOT an elite dribbler although he's an elite move-maker
2:48:45 ForbiddenTechniqueTV: "Love or hate JP, he led the Warriors to the best Warrior win of the season." I think most people do have a love/hate thing with JP, but they focus on the hate so much because it's easy to do with zero consquences on social media.
