Warriors vs Kings GM-56

Comments

Alc did you Bushie Buddy post game interview. Buddy is to nice. I greateful to have a job in the nba. I will do whatever the coach ask for. Now we know he went off no matter what politically correct he want to be but he went off because of how SAC dis him with his contract and thenbtrade The thing is Kerr and crew needbto find a way to create that chip on Buddy shoulder for every game that they need high output from him. Buddy is a gunner and I think in Kerr offence he looks to pass first than just let it rip out of instinct. I played with some elite talent during my time but as long as you were asking them to think plenty or do things out of their natural, they did not perform well. Hopefully Jimmy arrival Kerr will let Buddy settle back into his rin and gun seat which he started playing this season as with Moody elevation, JK coming back and an inspired bBuddy, thats a potential 3 20 plus a night performances behind Steph and Jimmy. That would make Dray utterance really believable considering everyone else in synch.

Big Bush Buddy is devious work

caspuchiha .

Jimmy giving buddy the finger got me dying 😂😂😂

Gerson Monteiro

YO WE NEED YOUR MAVS BREAKDOWN ALC, WARRRRRRIOOOOORSSS

broodje met beleg

doesn't really matter on the warriors, JK was getting 30 mins anyway.

broodje met beleg

denver defense is buns lol

broodje met beleg

"had Moses looking like trey songz with his braids" I gasped. How you come up with these I do not know, but I'm here for it. haha

James W

Yep well said!!

Shantel

Yes!! If they keep winning with jimmy not at 100% good things are yet to come in the playoffs!

Shantel

You might be right about Sabonis, big vibes similar to David Lee when the warriors got him.

TGonz510

Maybe them braids were too tight on buddy 😂

Jonathan Ortega Zavala

Normally, making a pass in the air is considered to be a bad pass. I’m impressed by how amazing Butler is when he leaves his feet to pass. We know the game is slow for him, and in the air you usually make hurry up decisions, but Jimmy still manages to think and make the right pass in those situations. Amazing!

Uday A.

That Moody shot made me jump off the couch. My boy been showing out. & to say this man braids look like Trey Songz braids then you know Knox shit messed UP LMAO

TJ Maccc

Denver aren’t that good, their win streak has been against weak opponents and they have no defence. Shut off Jokic and no one else can do anything. MPJ has been awful all year and Murray is inconsistent

Ash

trey songs! 😂

Dan Moore

(except maybe Denver)

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

We have two players who could each fuck around and be the best player in a seven game series against any team

Ejikeme Uzoigwe

I'm with you!

Point Gawd

Great to have you back, Alc. we all needed that all star break!

yan't get right

Yea jimmy was definitely the better pickup 😂💯

Noah Bailey

It’s crazy. I think Klay’s natural position has messed with our org’s head. Klay is probably one of the best 3 and D players in history, but on any other team he’d be playing as a 3. And moody is an even more typical 3 and D guy. But yet we kept treating him like Klay who’s unique thing was his movement next to Steph allowed him to move up from the 3 to the 2. And he would even guard larger guys like LeBron if he had to. But Moody is not the movement shooter next to Steph that we assumed he needed right now. It seems Jimmy is probably the missing piece to unlock Steph’s threat in the same way Klay was. And moody can just be way more of a solid piece in the rotation

yan't get right

Love the idea of a “king slayer”. He always shows up in sac town

yan't get right

I usually watch with the Warriors broadcast and I'm not a huge fan of Fitz and Kelenna, but yesterday I watched with the Kings broadcast and I thought they were so much better. You could tell they were the home broadcast team but they weren't homers and they gave the Warriors credit where it was deserved.

Kit H

Well said!

Allison Hendrix

bro moody and buddy BOTH are tuff asf

retirefn

I think we should rest Buddy for a month before the playoff. He clearly has a long cool down period

Qiushi Hu

Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin all got paid because of Jimmy. There's something about his ability to elevate the floor of role players is crazy. We are already seeing it with Podz, Moody, Buddy and Post.

Jimmy Ji

Might’ve been buddy’s best game of the season I like him off the bench

Static2Fresh

That Moody shot was ridiculous

John Z

Maybe Joker? QP is so versatile though, it’s impressive

Stephen Jones

Sure, check Twitter, for @RonKroichick, I think he a heat writer. It came across my timeline. I just found out again by searching Jerry Stackhouse wiggins and it also came up. I do have screenshots but I can't post it here. With the info I provided you should be able to find it pretty quick.

Carla Davis

very good game, solid from pretty much everyone. looked so much better in the 2nd half these past games.

broodje met beleg

Jimmy is 3x the basketball player Wiggs is, I’m sorry, it hurts to say we all love Wiggs, but this is beyond an upgrade, he brings a whole different dimension to every aspect of the game

Kevin Chan

Hey Carla - can you please link to the article or tell us where to find it?

deb m.

omg! it's so GREAT to see Steph having FUN again!

Sqk

Outside of Kat... who is objectively a better shooter than Post at the Center position?? Maybe KP? Maybe Naz? The list is very short...

Ballin Forever

There are still two things about Jimmy. 1)Will he be durable enough to last into and through a lengthy playoff run without getting injured enough to reduce or eliminate his production. 2)Will the spacing work if/when JK returns. IF the answer to both of this turns out to be "Yes" then I'll happily eat crow. But JK hasn't played a minute since the trade, and with JB's age we have to see him last a deep playoff run before we can be sure he can do it. SO, happy I am at the team's success. But for now I am still reserving judgment on the trade. And note: Kerr could've listened to us and given Moody regular minutes a LONG time ago, and that would necessarily have raised his confidence and allowed him to settle into a consistent contributing role. Had Kerr listened to that and other comments, maybe it would not have been necessary to trade for anyone, and certainly not trade an iron man for another aging vet.

Point Gawd

True, but Kerr has slowly shown a little more flexibility so I hope we at least get to see it a little. Against big teams like Dallas or Denver that might be the optimal mix of size, defense, and athleticism even though the shooting would be suspect

Dashaya Toney

We have a roster full of crashouts and I love it.. Dray Jimmy Kuminga Moody BPOD GP2 Gui are all physical bully crashouts... and in an playoff environment... we are going to have that advantage over most teams. Also.. I love Wiggs and this is no diss to him... but the talent difference between Wiggs and Jimmy is funny. Out of shape.. no lift 35+ yr old Jimmy is walking into the same stats that super engaged and aggressive Wiggs was putting up.

Ballin Forever

What are the odds it will last. I hope it will.

Curt Dragomanovich

If we see that lineup. Kerr's view of Podz may prevent him from playing that line-up. The excuse of needing Podz to assure there's a secondary ballhandler won't play with Jimmy Buckets joining Steph and Dray on the court (because that's 2.5 to 3 ballhandlers right there).

Point Gawd

They did him dirty with the lighting on the newer picture hahahaha

Nathan Glanzer

IDK what it is about their lineup pictures but Lavine looks EXTRA white hahahaha.

Nathan Glanzer

The game was awesome, the team played great but the pbp announcer is terrible. What idiot hired him over Papa. It's becoming more painful to listen to.

Curt Dragomanovich

While we are chatting, did yall see the article that quoted Stackhouse saying he didn't think Wiggins defense was all that great on the opposing teams best player. He said he thought he was mediocre. I don't agree or disagree but I thought it was interesting that a coach would publicly say that about someone that was on his team.

Carla Davis

I think the three point contest was a big psychological boost to Buddy.

Nathan Glanzer

Following your idea…. Jimmy’s hands are rock solid vs. Wiggs routine turnovers on drives. Jimmy’s court awareness and distributing, especially from the paint, is on another level than Wiggs. Jimmy forces D’s to react, while Wiggs routinely faded away, though much better this year. Toughness/swag/confidence/gonna f you up factor???!!!

Chip Tingle

His confidence is contagious, zero ? about his shot. D will keep improving to stay on the court.

Chip Tingle

No longer being asked to defend 1’s/2’s is a career changer for him.

Chip Tingle

“Giddy” Alch is a beautiful thing! One thing I’m clinging to is the ball I’m watching is SUSTAINABLE, as it’s no longer all on Chef’s shoulders, so proudly unselfish and sharing the rock and the love. Age - health??? But in a sprint, does Celebrini get muzzled? Seeing Podz & Mo dial up this way is good for our collective soul! I need more time to welcome Buddy to that celebration, but if he can sustain 80% of last night, they’re gonna be a tough F’ing out!!!

Chip Tingle

40 assists to 12 turnovers was nice, the offense was firing on all cylinders last night. They need to get into the rhythm on these weaker opponents so they can be ready against the tougher opponents.

Windfury

🙏🙏

Mikey H

My rule is never get too high or low on your assessments to keep proper perspective. When I look at this team with Butler now, you can see their confidence in slowing the game down because they know they can get a good possession in the half court rather than frantically trying to convert a fast break opportunity or kicking out for a 3 that may not be in rhythm. The role players have confidence in converting below the elbow. Even when they started 12-3 I wasn't sure the style of play would be sustainable throughout the season and playoffs. The style they are playing now is definitely playoff sustainable and that's the main difference. Alch, neither you or I thought Jimmy was the right move and believed they missed out on Zach. How misguided does that look now? Just goes to show you have to let go and let MDJ take the wheel LMAO!

Nos Dollas

Something about Jimmy ...Beginning to think Wiggs points were empty calories, god bless his soul. I always like when the Warriors play kings. Can switch to Kings broadcast and not have to listen to the Fitz whine the whole game , (even if the Kings broadcast is, exasperating, infuriating and exhausting, at least it isnt constant whining.

Tyler Durden

Loved that Moody pointing at the ref shot so much. Glad you jumped on it

Tom L

Yea, you're probably right. It's just wild to me that virtually the same numbers scoring wise is so different when it comes to winning vs losing. This is what I love about basketball. Sometimes it's not what the stat sheet says. Butler is bring something very different to this team. I was against a trade for him but it's looking like I was wrong. This is one of the few times I'm happy to be wrong. Lol

Carla Davis

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see the full extent of Jimmy’s offense the rest of the regular season. The 3 most important players on our team all don’t look at the regular season as a way to to make some noise. They may want Jimmy to put his bag of tricks on display in the playoffs

Offtopic K

Butlers playmaking is not to be understated how that keeps the offense flowing, also id bet Butlers true shooting numbers and overall efficiency is way higher than Wigs

KuraiT

They showed a replay of the Buddy foul on the 3, it was on Derosen's elbow on the gather. It wasn't the high 5 up top. Not trying to kill Buddy when he finally had a good night, but it was a really stupid reach on a foul merchant.

Yehudah Raphaelsohn

Our defense looked phenomenal last night but man without Fox that Kings attack just doesnt have the teeth it used too, Fox's relentless push, push, push never let you set up and was so exhausting

KuraiT

Kings have become bulls west. Hate to see it. Good win!!

Dirty Spud

Was skeptical about this small ball starting 5 but they’re looking crazy out the gates, nothing but dawgs from the jump. There’s a lot of warriors killers around the league. All the really good games he’s had against the kings, the last two seasons, mood is the new resident “king slayer” after Klay departure

Swole Mole

I knew you were gonna go in on Knox's hair lol

Vittorio Servino

So far so good. Keeping Jimmy healthy and getting him into game shape will be key but he's been exactly what this team has needed all season.

Nick Elliston

Moody did THAT? He get even one dnp from this point forward Kerr will be receiving a profanity filled email

Sarcasm 360

Lots of stuff could be talked about more significant than this, but want to say I’m loving what Post is giving us, especially as a rookie. Seems like he knows who he is, plays within himself, and isn’t afraid. He’s got a fire burning in there. Smart, skilled players always seem to impact winning, regardless of their perceived athletic ‘gifts.’

Special K

We looked GREAT last night! I still want to wait until be really go on a run before getting excited though. I don't get it. Jimmy giving pretty much the same numbers as wiggs with scoring, but he is so much more effective. I dont want to give you any more work, you do so much but if you can even give a 1 on 1 comparison on them in the warrior's offense i would love to see it because wiggs was balling before he left but they weren't winning. I dont get it but I love it.

Carla Davis

It was so satisfying seeing the offense carve up the Kings gimmicky-ass bullshit "Anyone but Steph" defensive approach where they double him on every single catch. Means a lot of teams will be more hesitant to just blitz him over and over because now the offense can make them pay. Can't wait to see Kuminga integrated to this team, Steph/Kuminga/Jimmy/Dray/Post lineups will feed families

Dashaya Toney

One other thing besides the winning agenda of this team...this is one of the highest iq starting 5's in the league...with Pods and Moody to go with the big 3...up there with Denver and Boston.

Evan Palmer

Entire complexion of the team has changed. Need your thoughts on JoKu’s integration Alc. my thought is he’s gonna come of the bench to start, but does he earn a starting spot the way moody playing?

Vincent

6:38 - on the radio broadcast, I heard them say that GP2 likes to go ride the bike between shifts.. I guess to keep warmed up?

Travis

Bro I think my view of Butler was just because he never had any teammates to pass the ball to that were worth a damn lol. I really like his game watching him play on a better team.

Nathan Glanzer

Jimmy is indeed still good at basketball
