Warriors vs Wolves || First Take ||

Reading Klay sprained thumb and Nick Young hip contusion. Both probably out Wed game. Hopefully other guys that have been out will be available, DWest, Iguadala...

I think Kerr's rotation disappointed me most.

Disappointed man these dudes ruined my Sunday

Thank you for your support Danielliee! I think Klay like so many athletes, likes to work on his strengths rather than his weakness. I think he gets plenty of shots up. But ball handling and diversifying his skill set is where he needs to focus on in practice. With Steph out he is not getting the same looks, the ability to put it down and change direction would help.

I mean we can’t really judge these losses with so many guys down and not playing. With that being said, it is unfortunate that we have so many guys injured this late in the season. Fuck the 1st seed. Getting everybody healthy is key. Hopefully when everybody is back, KD can be just as lethal as he is when Steph is not on the floor.

AA thanks much for your great BB analysis always. Ques, trying to understand, doesn't practice practice practice help for instance Klay, recently having a slump (again) but wouldn't practice and drills etc. help with getting your shot and focus etc.? Not trying to take away what Klay does and am aware defensively he's great. But does this shooting slump happen to most great BB shooters?

DaniellieeE

We have been coasting for so long that I guess we think we can just flip a switch. Maybe we can, but I'm having doubts. Klay and most of the bench need to step up if we are to have a shot at repeating.

Nirky

not if Harden and Paul play the rest of the way.

AA do you think we could still get the #1 seed ?

I’m very uncomfortable with where we are right now... Steph’s ankle issues, Klay’s hand. And we won’t hit the 67-15 mark we’ve hit every year since Kerr came along. Hope we can just get things together by the playoffs.

Hope Klay's thumb won't be lingering long term....
