Discussed A's relocation, Reverse Boycott, and why I would not want the Athletics name to follow the team to LV.
Chris Paul, who will intensify on court activities after the All-Star Break, is getting work in with the help of Draymond Jr.
CP gave him the “too little” 😂
Aaron Banks attended El Cerrito HS and hails from the East Bay. Asked the hometown kid what it feels like to represent the area, for the bay’s team, in the Super Bowl.
Lauri Markkanen’s skill set, age, and salary all feel like too-good-to-be-true fits for the Warriors current roster. They’ve almost cornered themselves into trading for him and the last guy I’d want to negotiate with, in desperation, is Danny Ainge.
Asked Steve Kerr about how he managed to keep Steph at 32 minutes in a seesaw game like tonight. In the past, he might have rode Curry, but now: "It's a lot easier when you have Chris Paul."
Seven years ago, the Warriors faced a similar situation (down 3-2) heading into OKC. Asked Draymond Green how much he can draw from that experience in 2023:
Golden State's dynasty was on the line and Stephen Curry delivered one of the greatest performances in the history of basketball. Forget the all-time rankings, comparisons, etc.
Enjoy 30. We'll never see anything like him again.
Asked Fred Warner postgame about how the Lions physicality brought the best of out the defense. Also, if the scouting report of Jared Goff not responding well to pressure was true.
Warner’s full answer ⤵️
Numi was kind enough to share with me a story about the day he caught Roy Halladay. I hear the passion, thoughtfulness, and humor that touched us all. It breaks mine and many hearts to see you join him. Now, go show ‘Mr. Doc’ all you’ve learned.
Surf in paradise 🌊
#ForNumi
Steve Kerr's full answer on the Warriors improved pace, defensive identity: "Last 10 games, we're No. 1 in halfcourt defense... Steals, rebounds, deflections all contribute."
I think the Warriors next order of business is trying to move Andrew Wiggins. Golden State showed us with Klay Thompson, it's about basketball. Wiggins has hurt more than helped the past two seasons.
Warriors FINALLY get a one-point victory, courtesy of a cold-ass dagger thrown in by Curry, 113-112.
- First time at .500 since Christmas
- Best stretch since 5-1 start

Chris Paul might not be playing, but this game means something to him. Burst off the bench following Podziemski's transition reverse and is now practicing guarding positions with GP2 during timeout.
First interaction with Gregg Popovich began as expected (jokingly), but finished with a candid statement about Steve Kerr:
"I learned as much or more from him. He knows what wins and loses. He's a purist in the sense he wants all five players to work together."

Klay Thompson is no longer a necessity to close games. That doesn’t mean he isn’t valuable to Golden State. The next step for Klay is about fitting to the Warriors, rather than the Warriors fitting to him.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Asked Stephen Curry what changed over the seven-game homestand: "Wish I knew the answer... Teams coming out and punching us first. No one's going to feel sorry for us."
Klay Thompson’s value is only increasing from the 2-year, $48 million offer he declined last summer. He’s been successful off the bench and in his six starts back (5-1 record), is averaging 21 ppg — shooting 40% on threes.
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Complete performance by Golden State in a heavy-hearted return to Utah, 129-107.

Golden State missing out on Paul George and turning down Zach Lavine didn’t bother me. However, waiving Chris Paul and surrendering their prized ‘optionality’ chip for nothing is confusing. Warriors credit card might be maxed.
For a second-straight start, Joey Wentz went five innings against NH. This time, he walked none and racked up nine K's (career-high is 10).
At one point, Wentz retired nine in a row and 11 of 12.

Kyle Anderson adds to the Warriors (current) logjam of wings — Wiggins, Kuminga, Moody, Payton II, Waters III, Santos. Also, keeps them $2 million out of the luxury tax with one open roster spot.
Warriors win in Los Angeles for the first time since October 19, 2021. Tie Lakers for 9th in West, 128-121.

Stephen Curry's reaction to Draymond Green's ejection told the story. 30 looked emotionally spent. Then, the Warriors went from tears to cheers without their best defensive player in a game they needed. That's significant.

If you're telling me Golden State could acquire Butler, get off Wiggins, and keep Kuminga, that would be best-case scenario for this summer. Picks be damned.

Brandin Podziemski isn't just a Rising Star for All-Star Weekend. He's a player who the Warriors 'Core Four' — Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Kerr are telling us can be a torch-bearer for Golden State's future.

@erie_seawolves
📻:
Steph (31.8), Dray (26.0), Klay (31.4), and CP3 (27.8) are all on pace to play the fewest MPG since their early 20s, or injury affected years. Got to credit Steve Kerr for pacing his best players and still starting 6-2.
I'm at the point where, beyond this season, Klay Thompson being in a Warriors uniform is a bigger priority for me than Draymond Green. Klay's shown the capacity to change and evolve, unlike Green.
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸:
Kerr on Curry’s durability this season: “It’s superhuman. His most underrated quality is his endurance.”
Also, Kerr mentioned his own 12 minutes per game at age 37 pales in comparison 😂
excited to finally be able to share what i’ve been working on for the past months: MLB The Show 21
a cool experience with some great people and got to learn a lot about a new industry. hope everyone enjoys the game! ⚾️🎮
Chris Paul & Klay Thompson sacrificing starting status has created the most unique second-unit, perhaps ever, in terms of pedigree. Doesn't hurt that Klay's averaged 19.8 PPG (44.8 3PT%) in five games off the bench.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Rough Warriors loss in Phoenix, 119-116.

- Klay & Wiggins combined 3-for-17

- Sixth-straight road loss
- GSW 3 games below .500 (10-13)

Draymond Green and the Warriors agreed to a deal minutes after free agency opened last offseason. If I'm Klay Thompson, that's level of 'Big 3' respect I'd expect. It ain't happening, which leads to believe Klay's gone.

Explosive sequence from TJD: Stuffed Giannis twice, on drive and putback attempt, followed by an alley-oop slam from Curry. Brought Chase Center to its feet.
Couldn’t have asked for a better pair of guys to work with and learn from these past 8 months. Big thanks to the Rip City Radio & NBCSNW family for embracing me and helping me grow.

Draymond Green is now a +83 in 152 minutes since his return. He's helped raise the defense and activate Stephen Curry, who scored 30+ for a third-straight game.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Chris Paul’s injury is unfortunate, but it’s a great opportunity for Brandin Podziemski to mature as a point guard. If he slides to the 1, should also mean more time for Moses Moody.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Golden State won in Utah with heavy hearts. They played with a passion and toughness that Dejan Milojević preached. They're 8-3 since Deki's tragic passing, but tonight's win might've been the most difficult.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
The Curry-Klay-Wiggins-Saric-Looney starting five is allowing 136.7 points per 100 possessions. That can’t continue and why I think Draymond Green should and will be back starting tonight vs. LAL.
Today’s full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸:
Trayce Jackson-Davis is the latest young Warrior to step up, forcing his way into playing time. To his credit, Steve Kerr has given more rope to Moody, JK, & Podz. Time to do it again.
Full 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗨𝗽:
Klay Thompson should want to stay in Golden State and I think he does. Scrubbing his IG doesn't change the way Joe Lacob, Mike Dunleavy, or his teammates view him, even if it's an immature tactic.

Moses Moody's been a +36 in his three starts. Remaining in the starting lineup upon Wiggins (hopeful) return might be a big ask, but he needs to be in the rotation. Mr. Stay Ready has earned minutes.

If Steph Curry was to realistically recruit a member of Team USA, I think it's Kawhi Leonard. Warriors have shown they'll swing for a flawed superstar if it means title contention.
