NBA 2021/2022

It is not my MO to agree with Illanoy.
But, I think he is spot on with his assessment of Klay.

For a guy that the Warriors kept under contract AND on the roster, he seems to me to have a bit of a pissy streak.

2 fucking years they held onto him, kept his seat warm.

He acted like a bitch multiple times tonight. Clearly fouls a guy on a key rebound then whines and bitches like he wasn't holding his arm. Constantly throws his arms / shrugs his shoulders when Wiggins or Poole get scored on...even though he was getting cooked on D all night w/ Ja multiple times trying to get Wiggins switched off in favor of Klay. Throws his arms / shrugs his shoulders when Wiggins or Poole take a shot when he is open and wants the ball...meanwhile goes 2 of 12 from 3 in 41min.

I used to like Klay. I don't think I do anymore. Maybe I am being too harsh. For Wiggins sake I hope he turns it around because I want GS to win it all (since it doesn't appear an Embiid championship is in the cards this year).

Klay is very good. No denying that. But it is almost like he wished it was just he steph and dray still. It's like the new youngins emerging is making him insecure. Steph and Dray seem to really embrace the young guys. Particularly Poole Wiggins and GP2. Maybe Klay just needs more time with them. Right now he seems very "me" oriented. I am probably reading too much into body language and a few select clips/instances. I really want the warriors to stay together as they are right now because they have a chance to be special for another several years and I selfishly want Wiggins to be a part of it.

End rant.

I am not a Draymond fan. But, if I had to pick a starting roster in the NBA, reluctantly I would pick him, because…..

As long as he is surrounded by shooters who move off the ball like steph he works well. He wouldn't work nearly as well on a roster like the Lakers or 76ers who have multiple ball dominant stars.

Draymond is good.
He would not be on my perfect roster.

Draymond is good.

I think, after last night, I might go:

Ja Morant
Steph Curry
Kevin Durant
Giannis Antetokoumpo
Joel Embiid

You could have Luka and/or Jokic in there are not be "wrong" imo.

[pdub]

That's a mighty fine lineup.
Bench:
Bron, Joke, Book, Tatum, Luka.
Deep bench I'd have to get CP3 in there for morale.

Or the 1st lineup against your bench lineup would be a hell of a game.

Nice line up but your guards are hardly known as great defenders. I guess it doesn't matter as long as the team scores more points than their opponents do - and that's one hell of an offensive team.

Side note, KD - Most overrated player in the NBA?

With Giannis and Embiid all they'd have to do is run guys off the 3pt line and retrieve the blocked shots Giannis and Embiid would be swatting away.

I don't think KD is overrated.

[pdub]

KD is not overrated.
He struggled towards the end of the season.
He was carrying the Nets for much of it.

[Overlander]

KD is a stud.

Unless KD decides not to be a stud

[randylahey]

Klay is struggling a bit to adapt to some change there. Its really hard to miss 2 full seasons and come back from major injuries. and he isn't young either. he is noticeably not quite what he was before the injury. but is still a good player and one of the greatest shooters ever. but I've noticed him getting frustrated him poole taking away from his usage a bit

[randylahey]

I'm not going to call him a bitch like you guys did but he is noticably frustrated with all those factors, but i think the big issue for him is accepting he is just not quite as dominant as his former self and golden state is gonna need to lean on those young studs if they are gonna keep winning. steph is getting older too

Bitch is harsh for sure.

But he does all that shoulder shrugging and arm flapping...and then turned around and traveled on a key possession last night (along with airballing a 3 about a minute earlier).

If you are going to finger point teammates, you better be damn near flawless imo.

No clue why the heat would do 2 of these 3 trades...
