Had the opportunity to write about where the Warriors are at right now - and why some of us weirdos are still watching.
> Dynasties don’t collapse in explosions - they erode. Slowly. Publicly. In games like this one, on random Wednesdays in March...

one of the nastiest bike crashes I ever saw was off one of these things going like 5mph
"sensitive receptors" is the term they use. Basically, minimum healthy humans are okay (or not) to be exposed to this long term. Some exposure every now and then is different from living in it.
Same thing has me super nervous about vapes. Those super small (2.5) molecules are incredibly high risk
for real, I used to write environmental report sections on EMF. They don't recommend pregnant people of schools that close to a substation. He's not totally wrong here, it is more than a zero correlation.

Wrote on the state of Golde State:
"Golden State lives in this uncomfortable middle ground: too old and precise to fully unleash chaos, too limited to survive without it. Butler was the compromise. He was chaos with discipline. Now that compromise is gone."

My last E1P video was a couple of weeks ago, published by the Warriors YouTube channel! I’m planning on another one this week.
These are supposed to be announced to my own YT channel but clearly a lot of people are not seeing the collaboration notifications…

Yeah these are all interesting, right?
All sorts of factors behind the stats, but Kuminga’s impact is really the crux of it all - his performance just hasn't been special enough (at his salary)
“We’ve seen Anthony Slater go through four seasons in his backyard talking about this story” is so funny, and accurate. It’s a nice backyard! You can tell he lives somewhere sunny and warm.
"The longer Kuminga remains, the clearer the reality becomes: Golden State isn’t negotiating from a position of leverage, and hasn’t been for some time... his value to this team (and the rest of the NBA) is theoretical, not practical."

Draymond on the Kuminga
"He's dealing with it better than probably I would. The way he's dealt with this at 23 years old I tip my hat to him because he's staying engaged, he's in here working out everyday his attitude is the same everyday. He comes in with a smile.

Niners first of course, but Warriors play tonight too!
> Golden State finally playing with constraints again - fewer ideas, fewer experiments, fewer nightly auditions. The Warriors don’t look reinvented. They look edited.

This is my greatest moment in basketball Blog chat history (after Post made a hook shot in the lane)
Not Snoop Dogg yelling "you in Inglewood, Steve!" while Steve Kerr goes ballistic on the refs and gets ejected
We laugh so we don't cry
Kerr is a stats guys. He's fully aware of how OKC fouls have gone since that other coach raised hell and caught a fine.
Curry's whistle is unacceptable.
Is Green getting traded? No. But he's becoming a symbol of the ailing dynasty
> The question now isn’t whether Green still cares - no one could reasonably doubt that - but whether that edge can still be harnessed productively.

On a couple of switch-beating sets the Dubs used to counter the switch-heavy Nets, on their way to righting the ship after a disastrous loss in Toronto the night before (link to article in reply).

Replacing Hield's minutes with Will Richard paid off for the Warriors, can we get a repeat tonight?
"One game doesn’t fix a season, and one breakout doesn’t guarantee a rotation spot. But for a team searching for answers beyond its stars, nights like this matter."

Wait, is this an actual quote?!
mike malone is a free agent, just sayin.

A noticeable uptick in PnR frequency the last three games has coincided with a shift in personnel (forced by injury) and the emergence of a PnR specialist.

Like that Will Ferrell SNL skit, but instead of more cowbell, Dub Nation is clamoring for more Pat Spencer

Pay no attention to the headline, this one is mostly about Draymond Green channelling Kobe and just going full “ship out Bynum” mode
After playing 23 minutes against Chet Holmgren, Green was feeling the full weight of history. Me too.

Kerr adds Moses Moody and Will Richard to the starting line up:
Butler III, Jimmy -Forward
Curry, Stephen -Guard
