W2B follows the NBA - via the Golden State Warriors

[FedEx227]

My first instinct was "Do it!" but looking deeper at their numbers, where their shots come from, efficiency... no way. I'd keep Klay, especially if he's going to keep his eFG over 50%.

Klay is just not a smart player. Takes off balance shots, shots that don't make sense, and still cannot consistently wide hit open shots. Add his turnover issues, and he is just not improving. Gordon's contract and injury status scare me.

 

[FedEx227]

It's hard to tell if Gordon is just not focused on the Hornets yet, trying to come back from his injury to legitimately regressing.

 

[godspeed]

Bogut is cleared for back to backs, and minute restrictions have been lifted.

We will have to see how this team performs at full strength consistently.

 

[godspeed]

Team is a mess right now.

No intensity, just going through the motions. Same crap as before all star game. Constantly making the same mistakes. Poor game planning and preparation. And you can forget about the coach making adjustments, that never happens.

losing streak over

 

[godspeed]

Warriors really needed this win. It was unnerving to watch, we looked bad at times again. Klay statistically looks like he had a good game and he knocked down most of the shots in the 1st and 2nd qtr. Then he made some really bad mistakes out there. He has to lead the league in missed layups. Curry was clutch down the stretch when we needed baskets. Jack was pretty clutch in a few sequences as well.

We will have to see what happens to the Klay for Gordon rumors tomorrow. I'd rather not do that trade for the main reason that we got rid of Monta for the purpose of NOT having two small guards. Trading for Gordon would be us in the same exact position.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Klay for Gordon makes no sense. Let this team as it is currently constructed go as far as they are going to go, and reevaluate in the summer.

 

[FedEx227]

If anything, they were competing before they should have been. I've always thought next year was their big year to break out. I really don't like the idea of Gordon on the team, regardless of the current opinion on Klay.

And I think the career winner for missed layups is Roy Hibbert who finishes at around 45% around the rim despite being 7'2. Klay is around 59.8% at the rim, which isn't great, but there are far worse in the NBA including............ ERIC GORDON! (50%)

those stats are a little skewed. considering most of klays missed layups are hardly contested.

The best klay meltdown from last night was a defensive possession. Suns take a shot, and dont contest the offensive rebound. klay is sitting under the rim by himself. Nearest players are warriors a few feet away. klay goes up for the rebound by himself, and manages to lose the ball out of bounds off himself...lol.

 

[godspeed]

w's set to announce a minor move in the next hour. something to do probably with jenkins and tyler for strictly cap moves.

But that's just nitpicking the stat though. I'm sure Eric Gordon has a few uncontested layups too. It doesn't change the fact that he's not nearly as bad at the rim as you painted him as.

if you watch warriors games you will know what I'm saying. Im actually going easy on the guy compared to most warrior fans...lol. as much as he gets on my nerves, i still don't think the gordon deal is a good deal. majority of warriors fans have turned on myers now for not doing this deal.

 

[FedEx227]

No, I'm sure it's worse when you're watching him and getting frustrated just saying it's not always rosey on the other side of the fence. It's irrelevant now but it was a great idea to stick with Klay and more importantly stick with this core.

 

[godspeed]

Just need to see some consistency in Klay's play. Warrior fans just have not seen it in a year and a half. We are still seeing the same mistakes. To make matters worse Jackson gives him the green light to do as he pleases out there. You got a rookie Barnes out there who doesn't make anywhere close to the mistakes Klay makes, has a better shooting %, yet Jackson holds him back. The dynamics are real frustrating to watch because we do have talent for once, and it is not managed or coached properly.

For me the proof of bad coaching was during the warriors-heat game on the last possession earlier in the season with the game on the line. Jackson calls a timeout, and doesn't run a play or set, and tells the team let's see who gets open. It was confirmed in interviews after the game and the team kind of laughed it off because they won. You mean to tell me you don;t have a handful of set plays you practice for end of the game situations? Lost faith in his coaching after that game for sure.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

What was the minor move?

 

[godspeed]

What was the minor move?

Jenkins to Phil, Tyler to the ATL. 2nd round picks in return. Gives us some cap space.

Keeping Jenkins for a roster spot over the hometown kid Lin worked out well.

 

[godspeed]

Jersey sleeves are happening tonight. Yikes.

 

[godspeed]

Bogut out tonight and sidelined indefinitely with back spams.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

What a game, what a win.

That Mark Jackson speech to the starters in the huddle in OT fired me up from my couch.

"I used to sit where you sit! And the coach would take me out and sit me down, and put somebody else in to make a stop. That would disrespect me! YOU WORK HARD ALL GAME, YOU DESERVE THE RIGHT TO WIN THE GAME! NOW GO WIN THE GAME!"

Great stuff.
