- My work here is done lol https://t.co/DdCTSdPAOk
- Rough night for Klay on both ends. He’s -22
- Take out Poole and the penetration stops
- JORDAN DIDN’T SETTLE FOR THE THREE
- Oh, Fitz shouting out the 15 threes now
- ISO Poole is the best Warriors’ offense so far
- The answer with Brooks is to go iso, which the Warriors don’t do much of. Especially once he get fouls, but the spotlight of the ball on his physicality
- Anybody gonna show up to help Kuminga? lol
- This is very likely going to be the 20th time the Warriors have allowed at least 15 made threes on the road. In 36 road games
- Grizzlies in last six quarters vs visiting Warriors: 30 of 59 from three (50.8 percent)
- Tyus Jones blew by Donte and got an open layup because nobody rotated. And that was a much better result than what normally happens — defender slides over and Jones hits the open man in the corner for 3
- Draymond is 10 feet behind the line and lets JJJ walk into an open 3
- This time Donte loses Kennard, getting sucked into the paint
- Klay let’s Kennard walk into an open 3 and didn’t even get his hand up
- Poole sets up 3 feet in front of 3-point line and chases Bane over the screen. That’s a good scheme for him
- First defensive *mistake* I’ve seen so far is Poole sagging in the paint and not getting out on Luke Kennard curling off a screen.
- DeRozan’s 49 in Bulls double OT win keeps Minnesota a game behind Warriors. Unfortunately, Anthony Edwards sprained his ankle bad enough to leave the game
- I know they were by two of the greatest shooters ever taking them, but those threes were not good shots. At best they are 40% opportunities and they eliminated chance at FTs (85-90% opps) Being able to make them doesn’t make it a good shot for situation.
- Curry/Klay 12 turnovers Atlanta 10 turnovers

- Thrice
- Twice
- Knew they would take a 3 down by one
- Down a bucket, Curry has to get the ball
- There is the Hawks’ 15th made 3. The Warriors are 1-17 when that happens
- I understand they get torched from 3 because they are so worried about the paint. My point is to make teams overcome their 3-point shooting by dominating the paint. Take away the 3 and live with the 2.
- Draymond had an easy layup but the play was for a corner 3 — which turned out to be a fading attempt by Klay. If that doesn't sum up the Warriors' offense this season ...
- Curry is livid he isn't getting foul calls. He's got 41 on 17-for-23 shooting. He is 7 of 11 from 3 He is 8 of 9 from the restricted area

- Curry has 37 and has yet to take a free throw
- Warriors 2-for-6 in the paint this quarter. Draymond and Looney's gotta finish
- Curry and Thompson doing postgame together https://t.co/JDBiS6HbLA
- Warriors in the bonus with 6 minutes remaining
- Klay with a strong fist pump after making a free throw. He'd missed the previous three
- Klay passed up a wide-open JaMychal Green to take a midrange jumper. And it was the smart play
- Poole blew past Lee a few times so Monty Williams puts in Wainright
- Warriors are 1-for-5 from 3 while Phoenix feasts inside. Suns 24-12 quarter so far
- Warriors should stop screening for Curry. It's an automatic double when the extra defender comes
- Looney and Thompson have taken 8 of Warriors' 13 free throws. They've made 2.
- From Lacy Hunt's latest quarterly update, Q1 '23. Should be released to the Hoisington site soon. https://t.co/uEJZO5bP14
- Warriors are 15 of 20 from the field. They’re on one
