i'm watching the Lakers v Blazers game and I was just thinking about how Looney really has slown down in the just the past foir years or so. that then made me think about Klay's post-GSW career, and how truly sad it has been watch his decline.

so be it, it's no judgement on character or even player. it happens

so I started thinking about other championship winning GSW alumni went on to have success on court after leaving. or for the sake of convo, what stand-out achievement have any GSW-alumni been a part of?

in terms of on court, I think of Harrison Barnes. what a dark horse he is.

off court, I think Shaun Livingston because of his raw talent, how he overcame one of worst sports injury ever, was a 2x champ and absolute 6th man caliber player with GSW, then retired to contribute to the franchise.

who else would you all highlight?

I know it’s early but bro is tearing up the league. Have we ever seen a rookie this dominant? I know people talk about his age but it’s his first few games and he’s versing proper rosters so I think his age is less of a factor compared to what people are saying. If he develops a bit more, I think a discussion might have to take place.

Can we realistically get Miles Turner? I mean he is a legit rim protector and a decent 3-point shooter, and he can bolster our front court depth. Can we get him now and not wait till next year? What are your thoughts? If not him then who can we trade for KP???

Anthony Edwards is gonna miss tomorrow's game due to knee surgery. That Timberwolves team seems a lot less scary now.

What would be a good gameplan/matchups for tomorrow if say, it's Ayo Dosumnu starting in place of AE? The team will lack a LOT of on ball creation now, so that should be something to take advantage of.

Not sure if its just me or not, last night was the first time someone outshined Curry on our team. For the first time in years, Curry looked quiet even with a perfect night. Yaxel outshined him completely. Not knocking on our chef, but this is very exciting for the franchise. Anyone else?

My guy is averaging 22.4 pts, 9.5 reb, 3.5 ast, 2 stl, and 6.1 personal fouls per 36 minutes on 50/100/83 splits. Maybe we don't need a center after all.

I’m glad the Warriors didn’t trade for Giannis. Considering it would gut their starting lineup and bench, cost them the chance to make a pick in this year’s draft, and require them to give up at least 3 first round picks, I’d choose Yaxel any day.

All his teams were stacked too with the exception of his first finals team. LeBron’s a bottom top 10 player & there’s a lot of strong arguments for this. Probably the most overrated superstar in NBA history.
People need to understand that assignments/rolls versus winning are two different things in any professional sport.
For example: LeBron James in his career due to his skillset, was given a role by the coach to score, pass, and rebound. There is no denying that he is a sensational talent. **Same role Russell Westbrook was given in his prime, by the way.
Steph Curry has been given a role by the coach due to his skillset to shoot anywhere on the court/play-make and look for the open man.
Yet… both LeBron & Steph have the exact same amount of championships. Why is that?
What Steph is good at LeBron can’t do. What LeBron is good at Steph can’t do. Therefore, since PLAYERS play to win the game, which strength from each player translates to winning? Cuz in the end, putting up a bunch a points in a loss means nothing if you didn’t win the game when it mattered most. and by the way… championships are the pinnacle point of winning.
Only difference in this scenario: Steph Curry won 2 rings with way less help than LeBron ever had in his career. You can compare Steph’s 2022 championship team to LeBron’s last Cleveland team he had in his first stint. The Cavs in 2010 were in first place & went 61-21. Steph’s Warriors finished 3rd place & went 53-29.
Yet Steph Curry still won a championship against a powerful Boston defense (That Durant lost to with a superteam) while LeBron in 2010 lost in the playoffs & ran to Miami.
Steph Curry is a greater player than LeBron James, because his game translates to actual championships while LeBron James’s game results in stat padding. By the way, how many championships does Kevin Durant have since he left the Warriors?
This is why LeBron needs highly talented Superteams to win a championship. While Steph Curry just needs bubblegum, a paperclip, and a hammer 🔨 and he’ll go get you that W when it matters most. Steph Curry not leaving Golden State, and running through the fire this season further proves this message.

we have best 3 point shooter of all time steph and currently ike lmao

For over a decade, when Steph is on the floor, the foundation of the offense is him and his movement.

Looking to the future, the foundation of the offense has to at some point start to center on other players/concepts.

They could wait until Steph retires to implement that, but what if he participated in the transition? What could the core concepts be, what could the offense look like, how could they leverage Steph to enable that?

I know it was just one game but you can see his impact. He really takes a major load off everyone, is young, and is that go to guy this team has been missing for so long. They might still just be a borderline playoff team but they might be more enjoyful to watch and the future looks bright which is something we haven't felt in a while.

I loved seeing the game last night in 4K on YouTubeTV. It looked better than any basketball game I've seen on TV, close to having really good seats in the arena.

A couple years ago I tried YouTubeTV's 4K (IIRC during the Olympics), but it looked like HD not 4K. Last night's 4K was dramatically better resolution, so I could literally see more of what players were doing.

Thankfully I got the first month free, because it's only 4K on NBCSN (NBC Sports Network), not NBCSBA (NBC Sports Bay Area), and the only other NBCSN Warriors games this season are these:

Mon, Feb 1, 2027 vs. Spurs 7:00 pm, and Mon, Feb 15, 2027 vs. Pacers 4:30 pm. So I plan to sub again for February ($9.99).

Glad he's back from injury and has been scoring 18 points per game so far.

the fact that yax asked for advice from some of the legends is pretty cool, love it.

Yax's has been on fire in his last 3, Yax has arrived, this is only the start of yax especially after his performance in last night’s win.

We played rlly good in the match against nuggets.Steph looks way better than last game where he was the reason they lost.Yaxel dropped 31,his defense also pretty good.Ngl gui santos rlly improved and podz has been playin pretty well and when jimmy and kristaps comes back we could gen do smth.I feel like we might make a solid second round.I jst wanna see steph gen competing again bro,and this game lifted my hopes so much.

Or are we just going straight to Lebron James?

enough said.
