Steph update

[MrMac]

W's won last night over a reeling Knicks team. All roast wins are good wins.

Steph had a double-double in the 1st half. He finished with 31 pts/8 rebs (8 three-pointers).

Wiggins was out with a "family matter." He missed 25 games last season, reportedly dealing with his ill father.

He had double digit points and rebounds.

I saw two non-Steph Currys last night. The Hornets are terrible.

Curry's are getting closer to having their own starting 5

Yes. My bad. 11 rebounds.

Young guys?

Kerr started three 21 year olds last night. I'm not sure that has ever happened in an NBA game before. When they helped Steph and Draymond get off to a 14-0 lead Kerr, for some strange reason, decided to start making subs at the 7:14 mark. The Knicks scored when DiVicenzo drove by Klay for a layup at 6:57 on the Warriors' first defensive mistake of the game.

If Kerr will play Moody 30 minutes a game they won't miss Wiggins. Wiggins is an excellent defender. Moody is better.

Yep, kid number 4 on the way…August?

The Dubs won their 8th straight road game tonight. Steph had, ho hum, 25 points with 7 made 3s.

Moses is ready to help Steph and Kuminga lead the Warriors to the promised land of the NBA! He is not a future star ... he is a star now who Kerr has completely mismanaged to this point. Given playing time last night (32 minutes) Moody was the best player on the floor. Steph and Kuminga led in scoring, but Moses Moody played his second superb defensive game in a row. He's the best on ball defender on the roster (Wiggins, Paul, and Kuminga are also very good). Moses guards without fouling and had 2 blocks and 2 steals against the Raptors using his quickness, 6'5" size, and 7'1" wingspan to great effect . Offense? He scored the first 7 points for the Warriors to keep them in the game and finished with 17 on 7 for 13 FGs and 3 for 5 on 3s.

Wiggins out indefinitely? When he returns he should join Paul and Klay to have the best 2nd team in the NBA. Or, start Wiggins at SF and Moody at SG to make the starters a top defensive team and add Pods to the second team.

RECORDS SET- the Celtics lead GSW 82-38 at halftime. That is the largest halftime lead in the history of the Celtics. It is also the largest halftime deficit in the history of the Warriors. Oh yeah, at one point the game was tied 21-21.

On the bright side, this will be the Dubs 1st road loss after 8 consecutive wins.

[i77cat]

I tuned in to see Steph tie it at 21. I then watched the Celtics make it 21-33 with 4 straight triples against indifferent defense. Turned it off. I'll tune in again if the Warriors make the playoffs. Maybe.

Yeh. That was a disaster. Boston shooting was incredible and the tired and shell-shocked Warriors sort of gave in to the reality that it wasn't their game. It was an ugly loss, but as Catnhat observed, they have been very good on their past couple of road trips. I think they will finish in the top 6-8 in the Western Conference.

Probably Boston's best team since they won a championship 16 years ago. Last night earned them a split with the Warriors this season. I checked ... it counts as one game. Will the Celtics be looking for another revenge victory in the next couple of years if they fail to win the title again this year? Watch out Milwaukee in the East or Denver or whomever survives the West!

BTW, the Warriors won a championship 2 years ago against the Celtics with their 6th best team of the Curry era because they have a very special and all time great player. The Celtics have not had that kind of player in the Tatum/Brown era. Will one or both of these two talented players up their game?

The Warriors really need a player who can defend players like Giannis at the rim like this: https://twitter.com/i/status/1765600928978083895
Unfortunately there aren't many players who can defend Giannis at the rim. Who was that guy?

But wait ... take another look at their bench!!

TJ-D got 19 minutes last night. 7 for 8 FGs for 15 pts. 6rbs, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 4 BLOCKS! Imagine him getting 25 to 30 minutes.
