Warriors Dynasty...Emphasis On NASTY
« Reply #23700 on: May 23, 2022, 12:26:30 PM »

Without the pressure to be the main, guy, Andrew Wiggins, all of 26, has over three years with GS evolved into a a top tier complementary player.  He led the team in 3-point percentage this season, among other things.  Emerged as a fine defender as well. 

The Warriors combination of vets and youth is scary. 

I mean, Jordon Poole is 22, for fuck's sake, and along with Steph and Klay, a +90% FT Shooer.  YIKES. 

Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga [the #1 the Warriors copped from the T-Wolves in the D'Angelo for Wiggins exchange] are both 19. 

Seven Footer James Wiseman is 21, and averaged a very respectable 11.5/5.8 his rookie year, in 21 minutes, before getting hurt.  Warriors have been very cautious and proactive in nursing him back, and with the ever improving Kevon Looney, all of 26, and raising his rebounding totals to a new high this season, there is no pressure on Wiseman to either be rushed back or tasked with too large a load. 

ADDENDUM: The 33 year old Curry appears to be in peak physical condition, and showing no signs of slowing down or losing his mojo.  Magnificent.  Betcha Mike D'Antoni still wakes up nights in a cold sweat thinking about how Step went one spot below us in the draft, leaving Donnie Douche to use our #8 pick on Foghorn Kiidhorn all-time fave, Jordan Hill.

HOWEVER, while he is due to pocket $45,780,966, $48,070,014, $51,915,615, $55,761,217, $59,606,817 through 2025-26, apparently Steph still feels compelled to pocket major endorsement fees by shilling for such decidely dubious scams as the Subway sandwiches franchise and CryptoCurrency...CRYPTO, for fuck's sake.  Seriously Steph?

What sentient being would take the word of Foghorn Kiidhorn seriously, the man [well, man is stretching it] who continuously mocked Jayson Tatum, who steadfastly touted Jimmer Fredette as a top tier NBA point guard talent, and who with a straight face asserted that a #1 draft choice by the name of Jordan Hill, who lasted all of 24 games as a Knick, was a great draft pick, taken one spot ahead of DeMar DeRozan.

HonkHonk.

Good luck tonight, Boston.  You guys are where you should be - chance to take a big step but its not expected.  Pretty good season after how it began.   EAST will be tougher in '22-'23.

Eddie Johnson (NBA Radio) feels Celts and not Heat have a fighting chance vs Dubs.  Not sure we find out.

Marcus Smart (and to a lesser extent - Mr Tucker) -please do not ruin the view tonight.  Play basketball, bro.

I don't think Marcus Smart is going to "ruin the view" tonight, whatever that even means.

Yeah, this is an embarrassment. These millionaire athletes touting crypto are going to hurt a lot of folks who don't have millions.

Combination of greed and ignorance. Not a good look.

I always loved marcus Smart.

When there were rumors of Smart being on the block [much of it stories of negativity propagated by that dreary sack of potatoes, Kendrick Perkins], I channelled my inner Facil and lit a candle.  If ever there were a player built for Coach Thibs, it is Smart. 

Totally agree. Would have been perfect.

Which reminds me, when listening to dipshits creating fantasy trades for Donovan Mitchell [no disprespect to DM] and imagining ways to move up in the draft, inevitably, R.J. Barrett's name comes up. 

In observing Jimmy Butler's continued ascent, and tracking its parallels with RJ's development three years in, still only fucking 21, my message to Knicks fans, is...


Well, I always felt Donovan Mitchell would be a great complement WITH Barrett.

But if you had to choose between the two?

Mitchell has proven excellence. He can single-handedly take over a game. Barrett seems to be moving in that direction.

But a few weeks back, I posted this interesting analysis of Barrett that looked at his performance so far. Compares his first 3 years to that of other guys who are now certainly stars, and finds that so far the numbers indicate Barrett is unlikely to make the jump.

Of course, no one knows.

And kid was early on Tatum.

Unfortunately for kid he shorted him early and often and kept on doubling down.
