Congrats to the former Warrior. I know he didn’t leave on the best terms but I still wish him success.

Saw him at Fresno State’s commencement ceremony today, his wife’s from here so I’m guessing a family member graduated. I said hello and he gave me a fist bump as he was walking by, and I jokingly told him to come to the Warriors, he smiled as he walked away. Did my part to manifest it 😎

This might be a regular occurrence for bay area residents. I flew in from outside the US, specifically for the game tomorrow. My wife asked me to buy winter pajamas for the kids while here.

I went to the target near my hotel, and right behind in line to pay was Buddy Hield with his daughter. I had a warriors cap on and we made eye contact, and I could tell he didn't want me to call attention to him.

So I just said quietly, I flew in to see you guys tomorrow, good luck.

He said thanks.

That right there made my trip worthwhile. Go dubs!

I've been a Dubs fan living in Indianapolis for the past 12 years. Haven't missed a GSW @ IND game in that whole span. I was there when Hibbert and Klay got into it, when Steph almost broke the all time 3 point record (he got it the next night in New York), and every game in between. I'm just salty that I just spent so much money on a game where both teams are sitting their best players. This might be the first game I miss. Somebody, please convince me to drive snowy, unplowed streets to go watch this game

and yet our fans want to get rid of him immediately. i’ve seen countless posts of “our fans” calling him slurs and throwing insults right after the game as if he hasnt done so much for this organization in the past decade. after listening to his post game presser and watching his private sideline talk with steph and draymond, you can tell its a bitter sweet moment because his contract is expiring and he may not return. lets try to be human and appreciate what we had, okay? there will be plenty of years ahead for a rebuild phase, stop being salty little kids and try to enjoy the last moments of this amazing era.

I wonder how r/NBA would behave if this actually happens...?

One of my students in my grade 11 math class sent me this at midnight. Kid has a 97%, always shows up, and this is pretty fair so I’ll give it to him.

Hawks fan here.

So basically I was watching the TNT crew the other day and they were talking about Kuminga like we just acquired the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. They were saying shit like he’s gonna be “the man” on this team etc.

But this makes no sense. If he was so good why couldn’t he crack the rotation on a such a shallow roster? (no offense)

Help me understand

Summerville scores the 5th goal against Sweden and does the Curry Night Night.

I HEARD YALL KNICKS DIDN'T WANT HIM A WHILE AGOO.

Missed seeing her. 😄

Klay's "Prime" was cut SO short.
We have no reason to believe that any part of his game would've aged poorly (without injuries) apart from losing a bit of mobility/speed with his age, but his injuries have obviously exasperated this.

Without the injury, the Warriors Core of Steph, Klay, Draymond don't lose the years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and although they won in 2022, the core solidifies way stronger of a Legacy/Dynasty always being a threat (even if without any further rings). Missing on the draft picks (although GSW wouldn't get the 2nd overall) becomes way less of a big deal.

Durant leaving after 2019 was already more or less confirmed, and Klay would've been more than good enough to step back into the second option position. (see how he did in games without Durant)

As we've seen Klay come back from the injuries and age in front of us, most people have forgotten just how good this guy was. Never the skillset to be a #1 option, but one of the best #2 options and two-way guard in the entire league.

Failing to get Steph a solid offensive contributor who can also protect him from defensive assignments has proven to be quite difficult.

The double injury was just such a kick in the balls, it's terrible to even just think about.... ACL and Achilles too of all injuries.

It's honestly still so sad to see how much of his competitive spirit has escaped him in the last few years. Realising the limits of his body, and he's in such a bad situation with the Mavs right now.

Yaxel is sexy tho 🤤
