#Warriors-Wizards: Klay vs Beal! Poole! Kuminga! Live chat, commentary, analysis, 2nd screen, PVO!!!
85#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 Steph Curry will be on podium for injury update at 645p PDT so we'll cover that asap
11:00 Steph's audio from podium
19:00 on optimism
25:00 no more "we need a big man" talk please! Dean Agan: "We don't need slow big men."
30:00 more on the old basketball parlance of "run it back" (keep champ teams the same)
31:00 NBA now 26 teams deep, 20 teams make playoffs, more than NFL
35:00 we can adjust through the Draft next year or free agency to find the next Richaun Holmes
38:45 Draymond got a tech from the youngest ref Jason Goldenberg, which is exactly what I predicted before the game
44:00 looking at Daniel Gafford's big salary extension ($12m)
55:00 again, it's been on the Foundational Six since the beginning and right now, our team just doesn't have Steph
1:04:00 7min04 Kuminga charge, I suspect more teams are getting his scouting report
3min32 Steve Kerr tech: "f-in BS!" same as Poole earlier
1:31:00 Dean: "Loon might be the best value in the NBA right now" -- you can't have it all, we're already hitting a home run with Looney, why do expect us to have the next Nic Claxton?
1:35:45 I stand corrected, there are 24 pretty good teams in the NBA
1:38:00 wanting Pat Bev is like Jordan Poole making a turnover, gotta deal with the young takes and turnovers
1:39:00 the constructive way to "hot take" the Mike Brown situation: we learned that the emotional energy on the bench is something that's hard to find in the NBA, so maybe next season it's something to address
1:40:15 SAC has the DPOG chain: 1) that's energy, 2) would that work in the Warriors locker room? It's kinda like Jim Harbaugh's "Who's got it better than us?" chant started to get old for the 49ers
1:41:30 we have had a history of improving certain things: after the 2020 season, we really ramped up the player development coaching staff. Maybe it wasn't enough and we need to hire a Mike Brown type.
1:46:00 10min30 Klay early transition 3s: "License to Kill"
1:49:00 8min52 challenge review for Draymond's 4th foul: good challenge? Yes, but only becuase it keeps Dray's energy in the right direction. You just have to go all-in with Dray sometimes, that's just part of the package just like the turnovers from Steph and JP. There should be an additional camera for the challenges a l a the NBA
1:54:00 7min10 Q3 can your buyout guy hit that J-Mike three?
1:57:00 5min30 the squad that we have in a nutshell: Klay rushed shot, JP turnover
2:07:15 HOT TAKE: "Can your buyout guy ___? (something J-Mike just did)
2:16:00 bad end to Q3 with Klay foul, JP missed FT, Ty Jerome bad turnover, but that's what we've been doing all season, we let up (habit that needs to break)
2:34:45 5min15 J-Mike's right wrist appears to be hurting after the oreb attempt
2:37:15 posted the official community poll to see the numbers for going live for Wiseman tomorrow at 430p PST (7p is GSW-LAC)
3:00:00 Wiseman will actually play on Wed 2/15 at 430pm PST and WE WILL GO LIVE (77% APPROVED)
DONTE POSTGAME ON-COURT AUDIO
3:05:00 KERR POSTGAME AUDIO
3:10:00 we have full control over the Lamb and Jerome contracts (50 games max as two-ways)
3:13:00 Kerith looking at Nerlens Noel buyout candidate: is he gonna know where to find Klay and Steph at the right times? Is he ok with more zero minutes? If I'm Noel, why would I buyout my contract that pays $9m to go play very few minutes with the Warriors. Now, if J-Mike is listed as injured tomorrow, that may change things.
3:15:00 Klay might play tomorrow per Slater
4:29:30 if we convert Lamb this season, we will get him at a discount with a non-guaranteed part probably for next season because two-ways will be looking for that security
4:33:00 if Iguodala is injured by the time the playoffs start, maybe you consider waiving him
5:08:30 if I had to make a wild prediction, I'm predicting we get the 6th seed and SAC is the 3rd seed! A look at the upcoming schedule: NINE-game winning streak, why not?! LAC LAL HOU MIN POR LAC NOP LAL OKC then MEM
Next probable livestream:
Tue 2/14 for Golden State Warriors at LA Clippers, go live at 6:30PM PST, tipoff 7:00PM.
