107#GoldenStateWarriors #KlayThompson (this is not an illegal stream and we will not post highlights, as we do not want to be taken down! But if you need help with a stream, ask someone in the comments)
TOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:
(To be filled in as we go. Note that timestamps are not functional on livestreams until the livestream is overwith.)
0:00 Kenneth Kretschmer's awesome supportive comment from the POR-GSW game
2:00 Steve Kerr pregame podium on Jordan Poole's durability and being amazed just watching Steph Curry on the bike
6:30 10min10 Q1 don't need to be a brain surgeon to figure out that any opponent's game plan is to iso JP (Russell Westbrook passed up the 3, everybody went away and he took him 1-on-1), we saw this in the Kevin Durant game, a lot of mismatch strategy is the game plan across the NBA
8:30 9min27 Klay Thompson messes up and yells at himself
9:15 9min10 might need to sub JP out if Russ keeps going past him, 8min45 Draynond Green switches onto Westbrook
9:45 8min10 Looney to Dray tiki-taka
11:30 timeout 6min57 tied up, not bad considering Russ took JP at will
13:30 Ivica Zubac's status per HoopsHype: questionable (right calf), also Marcus Morris (left elbow)
15:30 6min40 Dray stays back like 10 yards from Russ on D (disrespectful!)
17:30 5min50 Klay airball vs Paul George, gotta just go on the handoff, says "my bad"
18:00 5mn17 Kuminga didn't move to get Klay open in the corner (read & react brain fart)
19:15 4min18 Donte great anticipation of the pass from Russ
20:00 3min52 4min15 Kawhi lob good, it's been their athleticism keeping them tight, as I say that, JK gets a dunk
22:00 Dean Chambers: "JK's looking like Pythagoras, he's reading angles like a legend"
23:00 I have it as two good plays by JK (the scores) and one bad (the non-tiki-taka for Klay)
23:45 ATO Lue: 3min30 just iso Kawhi vs JK
24:15 Lamb messed up? 3min00 Eric Gordon easily down the lane
24:45 2min35 another Kawhi athletic play for 2
25:00 2min14 Klay wanted a foul on Batum, hack on the drive down the lane
25:45 1min56 Norman Powell killed us last game, misses his first 3
26:15 1min18 Kawhi easily past Looney, athleticism! Should be box-and-1 Kawhi, only problem is, he's not the primary ball handler. Also I think if this were Q4, we'd stick Dray on him.
27:45 Lamb good pass after the oreb of his own missed 3 0min34.9
28:45 we switched to zone
30:15 analyzing our switch to zone, we actually trapped the ball out of Kawhi's hands
32:15 great close-out by Looney, if we "need a big man" that guy has to at least close-out like Loon
33:00 11min35 JP's steals remind me of young Steph Curry (his best defensive attribute was getting steals, although I do prefer positional defense as we're getting with the GOAT version)
35:45 11min00 Dray bad pass to JP, sometimes it's the vet that makes the mistake (might not be video for this)
36:45 Bones Hyland travels against the zone 10min45, then JP great drive, we're probably still in zone because it's working, then Batum scores at 9min57 to negate my "zone is working" statement
38:45 Powell attacks Lamb on the zone, where was J-Mike? (need replay) 9min00
39:45 JP with a push-shot! 8min15 (Steph-esque)
41:00 7min50 Powell top-blocking JP (the attention he gets)
41:30 7min22 hard foul on JP by PG, this is all great player development for JP
42:00 7min16 JP and Loon discuss the lead pass that ended up a being turnover (I love the teamwork even with a bad play)
43:15 6min59 Russ POA past JP for an easy bucket by Plumlee over Lamb, cue "we need a big man" whining, most big men would be helping out on the POA miss of Russ (good PNR defense by Loon) -- but AAU and HS never taught JP that, just get a bigger cushion on Russ
46:45 6min21 Lamb draws 2 FTs "I can help you win", just a simple move helps, just getting fouled by Powell, I don't understand the hate but maybe related to the rape charge
48:00 5min47 PG's exquisite in-and-out dribble but Loon's 3rd pf didn't look like one
49:45 4min59 JK swat with Klay stopping the penetration
50:00 Kerr calls wiggly fingers after the layup by Clips 4min30 (Lamb missed a bunny)
51:00 3min59 Klay with the All-Defense swipe of PG
51:45 Fitz: "you're missing 50 points without Steph and Andrew Wiggins", the problem I have with that analysis is that it's fan-based and it's not ever what a coach would say to his team
54:00 Blasian: "Fitz and I are right: Warriors gotta wake up" -- okay, Klay has to make some shots, but overall I'm seeing Clips talent and greatness from PG and Kawhi, and I wouldn't be surprised if we try zone again at some point critical to the game
57:00 sure enough we come back into zone at the ATO
57:30 2min14 PBJ fadeaway! It's not easy to make that fade over Kawhi
58:15 1min40 did Klay let PG shoot a 3?
59:15 DPOY swipe vs Kawhi with help from Donte 0min47.6
1:04:15 good challenge by Lue
