Warriors vs Timberwolves || Game 67 ||

Boucher to be active tonight

The glass is half-full: the Ws should have fresh legs come the playoffs, although Kerr has to resist the temptation to lean on KD too much, and KD has to do the same, let the other guys assume the load.

Oh oh. Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe Klay Thompson’s sprained right hand causing some concern he could miss extended time Edit: There is a growing concern that Thompson’s injury, sustained in the Warriors' loss at Minnesota on Sunday, could cost him some weeks for it to heal and that it’s not a day-to-day thing. The Warriors confirmed Wednesday the thumb is fractured and said he will be evaluated March 22.

I really hope West’s cyst problem isn’t a big deal. As of now it seems like it’s an “unknown” issue. Another concern I have is Dray’s shoulder. I tend to worry when he is driving full force to the rim and spiking a dunk because that shoulder is already tender but I get that he gotta keep the defense honest. It doesn’t seem like Kawhi ain’t coming anytime soon and the season is gonna end less than a month from now. I don’t care what kind of superstar he is, he’s not gonna be back to form completely even if he comes back in time for 1st round.

late welcome! ... 3 gm in 4 nights, I took the day off from the internet! Im glad you are here, your takes are unique, being at the games there are interactions and nuances that us tv viewers just don't see. Thanks for the support!

Welcome Crystal! Good to see someone having some passion. We get the guys back we will be fine, personally I think we should play the others more right now and rest the starters, Iggy and West a little more, including days off as we go now as Houston won't come back enough for home court anyway. Take a page out of Pop's book and just rest for the playoff run. And please don't make us play the Spurs as the 7th seed, if Kawai comes back fresh, rusty or not that's hard for an opening series.

Woot Woot! I finally made it! I totally agree with you about having to lower expectations with so many players being out. I actually couldn't eat regarding us losing. Got so depressed. The hubby reminded me this is entertainment & that if I didn't get it together, he's going to sell our season tickets! I quickly got myself together! hahahahaha.. I'm so glad to be here. Thank you for such great content.

KD is a freak man! Everyone comparing the style of play with Steph and without. Yes the faster pace is pretty and fun. It may lead to bigger leads at times. But make no mistake, we will need KD to do what he is doing right now at some point in the playoffs..Steph or not.

Athletic Alchemy

I'm constantly amazed by how effortlessly KD can draw a foul when he drives with minimal contact, almost at will. If Steph makes the same drive, he'd probably get half the calls.

Paradox

Whats good Larry thank you for the support and welcome! besides the obvious gravity of steph...I think letting him work in the mid post on smaller guards could generate him some looks on his time. That and getting to the line more.

Athletic Alchemy

What do you think will help Klay get his groove back?

I don't think many coaches would have the discipline to do that...but not putting it past Kerr. KAT is a great kid.

100% it was to see cook under pressure. At least I think so. Livingston has been in the trenches he knows whats to come, Quin does not. Let’s get the others in and at least attempting to do something now before the big show. Not like we won’t be in the post season. We aren’t in desperate need of every win. And we down what 6 guys? And against the wolves? Havnt we owned them 99 percent of games in the last two years? Either way, I love towns and I’m glad to see their team getting some action!
