The last few games, I’ve delved head-first into postgame video breakdowns (a lot of work!), plus expect to do the same with James Wiseman’s stint with the Santa Cruz Warriors as well. As such, these notes and quotes have been harder to squeeze into the workflow. I’m still mulling using this website more as a replacement for what I would have normally tweeted on the Bluebird app … [Read more...] about Draymond’s pace & force: “sprints into every screen, DHOs are w/ speed” + more from Thibodeau
Kerr: Warriors “not right emotionally, spiritually”
I have a breakdown video coming up that largely dispels the “Klay Thompson is chucking up shots” narrative, but I thought Steve Kerr’s postgame quotes were powerful — even if I finally disagreed with him on one point (Klay) — so decided I better throw up this post, especially after “Aaannnd1” thanked me in the comments yesterday.As far as the breakdown video, the raw clips are … [Read more...] about Kerr: Warriors “not right emotionally, spiritually”
Words of Wiseman; Poole says “James is going to be A-okay”
Ten days ago the Golden State Warriors had their first practice back home after the 0-5 road trip and one day off. Since then they have beaten the Sacramento Kings at home, taken three days off, beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers, lost to the same Kings but in Sacramento, and beaten the San Antonio Spurs.That Sunday, November 6, 2022 was the same press conference where Klay … [Read more...] about Words of Wiseman; Poole says “James is going to be A-okay”
Steph Curry on “the meat of the game” as Warriors drop to 0-7 on the road
No marquee matchup, no urgency. That’s how I see it and what I concluded was the thesis of these losses, see timestamped notes from the live chat commentary last night below. Stephen Curry used the term “the meat of the game” twice in his postgame podium visit last night. “Understanding how thin the margin is throughout the meat of the game…that’s where you really build … [Read more...] about Steph Curry on “the meat of the game” as Warriors drop to 0-7 on the road
5 things Anthony Lamb did in 14 seconds to get a stop
It’s all explained in the postgame breakdown aka “film study” video below, but Anthony Lamb played the game of his life vs the Cleveland Cavaliers and, with the Golden State Warriors only going eight-deep with the rotation, gave glimpses of a possible reality where he’s a factor during the playoffs. Still got 70 games to go so we’ll see, but the team has control of his NBA … [Read more...] about 5 things Anthony Lamb did in 14 seconds to get a stop
Kerr: Poole x DiVincenzo backcourt allows Jordan not to have to “manage the team and run the point on his own”
Sorry for being out of it for a few days. Still trying to find the best role for this website with the YouTube channel taking center stage. Hope to see you on the game livestream for the play-by-play and real-time analysis including Xs and Os — I’m actually really psyched about that new feature.Here’s the pregame with Steve Kerr before the Cleveland Cavs at the Golden State … [Read more...] about Kerr: Poole x DiVincenzo backcourt allows Jordan not to have to “manage the team and run the point on his own”

Warriors woes: pickup games, fouling, offense killing defense, urgency, communication, intensity, momentum
(Most epic Jordan Poole postgame reaction pic in upper-lefthand corner by CJ Holmes of the SF Chronicle)A laundry list of problems is being mentioned from the podium after the back-to-back losses and the overall 3-4 record. But as I said on the livechat commentary last night, a lot can be solved if quite simply the first team can come out more focused during at least both their … [Read more...] about Warriors woes: pickup games, fouling, offense killing defense, urgency, communication, intensity, momentum
