[Brad Townsend] Kidd says there is not longterm concern about Lively. “Hopefully he’s back in a couple of days. Hopefully.”

Imagine if the warriors listened to this sub and traded for Lauri and PG

Kerr on 95.7: "We're on the decline, we know that. Steph, Dray, & I have talked about it, it'd be so irresponsible for this franchise to trade everything away for one final swing at a title…the discussion has been had & I'm so impressed w/these guys & how much they care about the Warriors' future."

Anyone else missing JK?

"I probably won’t be around, but I would tell you, if this organization gave away the next six or seven drafts for a wild swing, that would be the most irresponsible thing that they could do.” - Steve Kerr | Steph Curry, Steve Kerr and Warriors are grappling with an existential crossroads

[Panda Hank] Regular season games played: Zion Williamson in his career (from 2019 to now) - 191; Klay Thompson from 2022 to now (since returning from ACL AND Achilles tears) - 211

[Slater] The Golden State Warriors hold interest in trading for Nikola Vucevic.

[AutomaticNBA] First team in NBA history to start a season 12-3 or better and be under .500 at any point later in the season. Teams that have started 12-3 or better in NBA history finish with an average win pace of 58 wins.

[Slater] Steve Kerr on the slumping Buddy Hield: “I trust him. I put him in the last play because I believe he’ll make the next shot…I’m gonna keep playing him. I’m gonna keep trusting him.”

[Highlight] Tony Brothers takes over the Rockets vs Grizzlies game and calls a backcourt violation when the ball was nowhere near the half court.

[Goodwill] “The beautiful part about being in the space that we're in is, Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and myself all disagree with mortgaging off the future of this organization, saying that we're going for it right now,” Green told Yahoo Sports… “Bad teams do that.“

[Grant Afseth] Kyrie Irving (lumbar back sprain) is questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets. He fully participated in today’s practice.

[Durando] In the latest chapter of Jamal Murray’s erratic season, Michael Malone told him postgame that he had considered shutting Murray down at halftime. “It’s been a rough go. So I’m just trying to be here for my team, give them what I’ve got and not complain.”

[Haynes] Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been fined $50,000 for making an obscene gesture towards a referee.

[Curtis] Asked Klay Thompson how bittersweet reaching 16,000 career points is after a loss: "It's cool, but it makes you realize how ridiculous it is that LeBron has 40,000. It's insane. But it's cool. Anytime you do something like that in the NBA, it's a special moment."

[Weber] Klay on adjustment of playing w/out Luka/Kyrie: “It’s def. an adjustment & that’s the fun part of the season…it's welcomed & I enjoy these moments where we gotta battle adversity…championships aren’t won just b/c of a great run in the playoffs, you have to build great chemistry before that."

[Noah Weber] Klay on Dereck Lively II: “I can’t believe D-Live is only 20 years old. What a great player he is and will continue to be. He’s just scratching the surface of what he can be. So active, so athletic. What an incredible gift for him to be on our roster…It’s an honor to play with him…”

The two bright spots in today’s game - Klay & Lively - played off each other beautifully for a combined 7 assists to one another. Their two-man game was at the center of both of their largest leads today - a 16 pt lead in the 1st & a 19 pt lead in the 3rd.
