TOPICS & TIMESTAMPS:
(To be filled in as we go. Note that timestamps are not functional on livestreams until the livestream is overwith.)
0:00 new intro: California Remix Rusko Remix with a "Just Us 1-2-3!!!"
5:00 I got crucified for defending Wiseman's sprained ankle as not equaling "not reliable". DOCTOR Rick Celebrini seems to prefer to be extra-cautious in bringing back guys. Why? My theory is that he understands we need to be 100% healthy for the playoffs and, yes, there is an assumption that we will get into the playoffs.
20:00 6min49 Q1 Jerome and Lamb checked in for JP and Looney
24:15 Lamb has been getting roasted on Twitter for his non-close-outs on Vucevic yesterday, but the thing is, he wasn't the only one making mistakes. The other thing is that he's been pretty locked in and hitting 3s and throwing him under the bus seems nitpicky and targeted when the real culprits yesterday were, obviously, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (14 turnovers). One of the two times Lamb didn't close-out, it was really the POA defense screening Donte and then after that Kerr switched to a blitzing D on the PNR.
31:00 Lamb talk: he's playing like a Wiggins-type two-way player, contrary to what Twitter will have you believe
33:00 Steph's condescending shaking of the head last foul probably helped out with this foul 1min38 Q1
36:00 if Lamb is approaching the 50-game limit you could convert him then, instead of waiting until the last day of the season
38:00 on Jerome, when we're fully healthy he's the depth chart backup pg, so I can't see him getting converted. Another option: cut Rollins, hope he clears waivers and has no other offers, and sign him to a two-way, which would effectively swap the two's roster slots.
41:30 10min55 Q2 we're only up two, Kuzma at the line, you can see that we really really need Jonathan Kuminga. This year he makes a huge difference
47:30 7min28 Q2 JP bad turnover, over-dribbled, but let's remember that his Year 4 is sorta like Steph's rookie year with 3 years at Davidson
50:00 on bullyism online esp when JP is thrown under the bus for his turnovers. Jabs says it nicely: "a little bit of johnny-dribble-too-much"
52:00 6min37 Q2 Moody has to be a little bit more selective on the aggression, trainers and coaches call it time-and-score
1:05:00 Steph missed a FT at 1min30 or so and they still have him at 7/7
1:09:00 @shmelbenYT: "Otto got lucky and healthy for us last year", me: "Let's give Rick Celebrini some freakin' credit!"
1:12:00 hate to do CRAP (comparisons, rankings, awards or predictions), but Lamb greater than JTA
1:21:00 why PBJ hasn't been playing is because we're chasing wins a la the Finals, so just go look at any Finals boxscore. Also if you've been a coach, you know the trust issues with young players.
1:26:00 10min50 Q3 Wiggs loses KP to a 3, but that's what happens when you don't trust your teammate's POA defense
1:28:00 9min38 Q3 Wiggs actually lost Kispert, didn't help Steph, Steph was upset on that 3
1:47:30 1min10 Q3 timeout, but much earlier, Donte timed his cut too late, Steph missed a layup off rhythm maybe
1:51:00 if anyone could play better after end of Q3, I think it's Wiggs. But then again, maybe his wind was affected during the 2x illness, so I understand the rust.
2:07:00 the challenge on the JP and-one taking away the bucket MAKES NO SENSE. Change the rulebook, again talked about at 2:12:-00
2:16:00 we're not gonna review 2min41 Q4 KP's push in the back of course, because it's Dray
2:19:00 CALL OVERTURNED, NO MORE SLANDER ON LAMB 2min24, HOT TAKE: can Lamb get a reprieve for one day per + (+31, 31 days) of no slander on that bluebird app
2:23:30 same: good for Wiggs to partake in the final dunk dagger after the DPOY steal
3:16:00 @Jrising87 telling lies about me on Twitter
3:26:00 Nicole Diaz helps out on Twitter
2:22:00 love how JP was part of that dagger, he deserves it based on said slander
*** Next probable livestream: ***
Thu 1/19 for Golden State Warriors at Boston Celtics, go live at 4:00PM PST, tipoff at 4:30PM.
