Your obsession with poop and hogs is disturbing.

Christian Wood in 15 games this season has....

9 double doubles (7 games he’s had 12 rebounds or more)

13 games where he scored 20+ points

STRAIGHT BALLIN'!!!

Amazing that he was cut from 2 different teams in the last 2 years.

I completely disagree

Really? Personally I hate 3 fests. It takes the make or miss concept to absurdity.

I get why teams do it. But watching teams run up the court and just take the first semi-open 3 isn't exactly scintilating basketball. And the only team that has ever really made it work were the Dubs.

Well I do think Ball's FT% is pretty poop like.

 

[trojanfan12]

I completely disagree

That's because you hate basketball.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Well I do think Ball's FT% is pretty poop like.

Almost more crazy is he plays 30 minutes a game and averages ONE free throw attempt a game? How is that possible?

But yea...averaging 42 percent as a guard is historically terrible.

Improving this year so far. I mean.....I could go out and shoot 64 percent with no crowd.

Sub-50% is the kind of FT% that can get a player benched all on its own. In fairness he is shooting 64% this year. But 14 free throw attempts in 16 games is just crazy. I guess given his 39% FG shooting teams don't even feel it is worth fouling him.

Dubs added outstanding ball movement to make it actually pretty entertaining

I mean obviously GS is better market than CLE but what big FA’s have they attracted other than KD. Serious. Just trying to remember. I’m sure @CitySushi knows

At the time Andre Iguodala was a huge get for the Warriors. Prior to him, the Warriors were never able to lure quality free agents. Iguodala was particularly important because he actually had a more lucrative offer on the table, but passed it up to join the Warriors. Shaun Livingston was another solid free agent who was coveted by a number of teams after playing well in Brooklyn. David West wasn't a premium free agent, but he was definitely sought after by many teams and opted for the Warriors. But another big one despite not working out the way they envisions was Demarcus Cousins. No one ever thought he would have signed for the Mid Level and join them. It didn't work out in the end, but everyone was up in arms at the time of him signing with us.

Other than that, the Warriors haven't had much wiggle room in cap space to draw any quality free agents recently.

Sure. The Warriors would play good basketball with lots of ball movement to get an open look shot. Teams like the Wizards are just heaving the ball up in the air and hoping the shots will fall. Sometimes that will result in them winning but usually not and makes for unappealing basketball.

The only thing worse, IMO, is the foul hunting perimeter shooters. Which is why I don't like Harden and HATE Trae Young as a player.

Cousins legit shocked me

Lamelo is so much better than Lonzo....not even close

One of the Warriors podcasters I follow said with each passing game they watch Lamelo play, their expectations of Wiseman increases. True statement. Lamelo is showing that his skill in addition to his experience are paying off.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm happy for you

Happiness makes the world go round.

I think Wiseman will be a good one
