And there goes the Warriors season Butler down with what looks like a knee injury

Yeah replay pretty conclusive knee injury likely season ending. Davion Mitchell bumped him when he was landing on an entry pass and knee buckled

Damn. I wonder if they revisit Kuminga now that Butler is out?

i think steph lowkey wants to come to phx

i think steph lowkey wants to come to phx

My initial thought was I wonder if they consider moving him to a contender for draft picks or young guys but I think Steph is pretty settedl in the bay are with his wife and kids. I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last season he's still really good but I doubt he's up for a rebuild

My guess is they try and move Kuminga in one of the rumored deals

imo that's where they went wrong, in keeping draymond. but what really threw a wrench in their gears were klays injuries.

if Charlotte was better I could see him wanting to finish up with his dad but they are horrible and the guys the Warriors would be interested in probably wouldn't be guys Charlotte wants to move like Brandon Miller or Knueppel.

Contender for one last run makes sense but then they don't have a high draft pick in the trade.

You could kind of see it at the end of the game the realization in Stephs' eyes the window almost certainly just closed.

After the injury there's a play where Steph throws a hit ahead over Wiggins to Payton who catches it and lays it in, Payton kind of suckered Wiggins into not knowing the ball was coming. Payton and Steph were laughing and hugging right after the play, but by the end of the game I think Steph was more looking at no Butler this season is over.

Stephen Curry defines the Warriors. I'd treat him with the utmost respect. Let him decide his future. They owe him that. I feel much the same about Devin Booker.

I admired the way the Mavericks stuck with Dirk Nowitzki for his entire 21 year career.

Did anyone watch the Knicks and the Nets the night before last? Clearly the Knicks are just a different team with Brunson. The game was boring but if Brooklyn had sunk a 53 point shot at the buzzer, they would have still lost.

After the Knicks losing the previous four previous games, I'm not impressed, not that Brunson isn't the heart and soul of that team.

Two games on prime tonight

 

[Russ Smith]

Early but Kuminga is making Kerr and Dunleavy look bad so far. Really good in his first game after sitting 16 straight. Tonight he came in against Dallas and in 2 minutes had a pair of and 1's drawing fouls on Cisse both times and at least so far looks locked in on defense.

Looks like he could have been helping us all along

And he only played 9 minutes in a loss

T-wolves lost 4th straight

 

[Russ Smith]

And he only played 9 minutes in a loss

He stepped on Brandon Williams foot rolled his ankle and twisted his knee. Played about 30 seconds more left and never came back. Crazy bad luck

 

[Russ Smith]

To the surprise of nobody Draymond continues to be an idiot. Down 1 in the 4th for no apparent reason he hits Dwight Powell in the stomach with an elbow, refs call the foul review it, upgrade it 2 points they go on an 11-0 run and win the game. The worst part is after doing it he argued it the entire review and then after the call. Payton and Steph were clearly pissed they were just sitting there staring at him like what is your damage bro.

Any word if the Warriors are still looking to trade Kuminga?

That's the DA I remember , what a dumb POS. I luv this Phx Suns team. The blue print now a 1 Star (Booker now and probably a transition to Green) and a team that likes each other and does their job with 100% effort. Book it, the Suns will be a higher seed than Houston and Durant can swim in his reputation, should be known as the "Slim Grifter" his career as a stat padder and only won grifting off the GS dynasty

Highlights a couple of issues with the Lakers - Ayton is soft and doesn’t fight for position and Luka is such a ball hog Ayton just assumed he was going to shoot the ball
