If that is what it takes for Oso to play well keep doing it. Although Oso only scored 2 points, he was very effective... 13 rebounds and 5 steals.

Devin Booker said he got it going after taking the coreshorts off.

Glad to hear Oso got mad, even if it was at Dillon. Apparently Dillon had been asking for it, which isn't surprising.


Want to also give Oso some credit for his play this year. He's earned the backup C role rather than getting it handed to him because of lack of options or to develop him.

this squad is incredible - the tenacity to win with fate and the refs reverse engineering dtv from being fouled on the 3 to fouling on the 3 was some ish of epic proportions

ott is out of his mind - let's luka score at will but then has his defense shut steph down - i would say pick a lane but ott won both games

and oso got his ass kicked by his look alike in golden state in the first game but not last night - never seen oso box out like that and he was stopping drives before they even started - looked like illegal defense at times but he stayed in that grey area

god bless collin gillespie and jordan goodwin

last but not least i sure hope book is back - truly back because our offense stutters at times needing someone more than dtv or gillespie to rise to the occasion

i love playing the same team twice in a row btw - glad we don't have to wait 5 days

Please for next year, stop shooting threes on the break. At least when you're not wide open (Boober). Layup or dunk has a higher percentage. I think that is a fact (big if true).

I should probably break down and get Sling so I can get more Warriors games but between Sunday ticket, FOX(for Big Ten UCLA games), Peacock(also UCLA) and Prime just feels like I'm shelling out a ton for sports. Feeds usually work but not always today I had 2 and both of them went off.
So, your thoughts on the game? ;)

I only saw most of the first half I lost my feed after early 3Q.

Seems like Suns shut down Steph. The part I saw Post missed 2 or 3 open 3's that is a huge deal, with the W's you have to exploit teams that dare you to beat them by keying on Steph, if guys get open looks they have to make them. Moody missed a couple of wide open 3's when I was watching too.

I did see Kerr said after the game he didn't like the last call, hadn't really seen a replay but the guys told him Moody got all ball. But from what I saw it looked like it probably was a foul so it's more saying don't foul. Jim Barnett was the Warriors analyst guy on tv for years one of his favorite sayings was airballs go to the offense. That shot knicked the backboard but was essentially an airball and it cost them.

Continue to say it they need to make a trade. They can't move Kuminga until Jam 15 so that's about 15 more games before they can move him. He's the most likely piece but I honestly think they should be considering other options too. Up until now we've been told Podz is untouchable but i just don't see it, he's good but he's not good enough to be untouchable. They need to add either a 4 or a 5. Another name they've asked about is apparently Trey Murphy but call me skeptical the Pels would trade him for Kuminga, or Podz, or even both.

Reminds me of Sir Charles and Oliver Miller. He would literally yell at him in games, and Miller would respond to his credit.

Podz is one of those guys you hate as opposition. Not that he plays dirty, it's his motor. You are like, damn dude, just chill out for a bit. I think he has the makings of a 10-15 year NBA player. I would love that more than Kuminga.

10-15 NBA player? Is that like 6-7?

I seriously don't know what you mean? 10-15 minutes a game? 10 points and 15 boards or assists per game?
I thought you were making a joke. I originally had 10-15 YEAR player, and had to edit the post and year got deleted I guess. Sorry.

Ah! Gotcha. I was making a joke but didn't know what you meant either.
