As promised in the previous post (one for the Utah game coming up today, too), I perused the postgame transcripts and really didn’t find anything interesting because a lot of it was the “he-said-she-said” between Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic. A lot of fans tend to love that stuff, but because those topics don’t really yield a lot of information as opposed to entertainment, I … [Read more...] about Basketball gods > Jacyn Goble (and Nurkic) + Draymond’s unintentional comedy
Steph Curry: Warriors went from “comfort” to “shocked a little bit”; Klay’s thirst; GP2 “small-ball 5”
You’ve probably already heard Draymond Green say that Jonathan Kuminga is the “bonafide No. 2 option” now which is music to my ears, but there were a few other notable quotes from postgame Utah that didn’t make the rounds.This is the “Season of Humility” and, ironically, all three of the main guys admitted something on the podium.

Notable: Warriors sent $5.8 million to Indiana to save $12 million in salary and taxes per John Hollinger of The Athletic and Marc Spears of Andscape deleted his tweet, possibly not to tip GSW’s hand in the upcoming buyout market. 🤔 See transcripts and video from GSW-PHI. The behind-the-scenes video for that is 50/50 forthcoming on the … [Read more...] about Cory Joseph, tax savings, free agent, Klay: “I believe”, Kerr on Steph Curry & LeBron, Team USA & Embiid
GSW299: Fyi the Wiggins trade talk is the third timeline
New thing: “299” seems to be a designation of a super-deep graduate class when it comes to the numbering system of most colleges, so I’m calling these articles “GSW299” from now on to denote that it really does require some foundational knowledge of the NBA. Usually this means having a pretty good grasp of team salary cap tables. The best way to do this is to go look at all 30 … [Read more...] about GSW299: Fyi the Wiggins trade talk is the third timeline
