Did y'all see what Wemby did to the Bucks? He looked like a giant Durant out there. Dude shaved his head and went into the Avatar state

Jimmy Buckets is ded

Wemby casually hitting 7 threes is crazy

Jimmy Buckets is ded

Torn ACL.

Think that's the last hurrah for the warriors.

The window realistically was already closed on winning another finals with Steph, but that slammed it shut.

There's not much point to trading Kuminga with Jimmy down, unless it's to try to get some picks somewhere.

There realistically already wasn't any trade scenario to make the team into a viable contender this season before Jimmy went out. Maybe do some light tanking and hope Jimmy is good by the playoffs for next season, which is pretty much the only shot the team has left at this point.

been over for a second realistically. Steph is still Steph, the system is p good, and Jimmy is better than championship Klay even if he doesn't have quite the flame-throw shooting, but the team is not well-constructed.

an ancient Horford is the only other big seeing minutes, and Draymond's play has quietly collapsed to about half of what it was. he's lost a step defensively and while he can still playmake his scoring has been putrid even by his standards (42% the last couple years from the field), to the point the advanced stats which once loved him now kinda hate him.

as significantly Kuminga (or anybody else on the roster) can't begin to replace the Iggy/Barnes/Durant/Wiggins role of an efficient and defensively minded 3 upsizing to the 4 while Draymond plays the 5 for the ol death line-up. now it's just a small-ball line-up that struggles to defend, while your 4 is shooting 32% from 3 and the stretch-5 is an aging Dray. then, of course, everyone is old and frequently injured.

man the Bucks just lost to Denver at home without Jokic or Murray playing

send Giannis somewhere nice he ain't that young anymore

[archibaldcrane]

They probably need to put him on the block. Taking 8 shots in a 2 point loss the game after he complained about not getting enough touches - he needs to ask for a trade.

Timberwolves v Warriors game has been moved to Sunday

[Krandor]

Sounds like Giannis has finally requested a trade

[Andalusian girls]

He's having his best 2pt% and 3pt% of his career this season, he's as good as ever other than staying healthy.

Yeah 4th at worst. Jokic, Luka, and Shai are the only ones with a case to be above him.

Wemby is the clearest bet for who will ascend past him through growth rather than Giannis declining. After that, maybe ANT?

3 of those 4 might not make all-NBA this year

Spoiler: show

luka returned to the game, but he's missed 7 games already this season, wouldn't take too much

[Andalusian girls]

Cleveland's raised floor is so fuckin stupid
