As a blogger…I couldn’t ask for more given the three teams I’m following this NBA season are all off to interesting starts.
Let’s just focus on the Warriors and their current six game losing streak this evening. The Warriors’ got off to a decent 6-2 start and appeared to have shaken their road woes from a season ago.
But now they’re on a home stand and looking very mortal and somewhat aged coming off a very tough home loss to the surging OKC Thunder …who in the wink of an eye have once again become America’s next new hot NBA thing along with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Warriors’ host the vastly improved Houston Rockets later tonight and this is a game they need to win to get things turned around. What a great first round No. 4 vs. No. 5 that would be.
I don’t think this is rocket science. Steph is the best player the Warriors have on their roster. When he plays the Warriors’ can beat any team in this league if his surrounding cast pull their links on the porverbial chain. Not much link pulling has occurred so far.
Therein…lies the problem fourteen games into this still young NBA season. The only two Warriors I’ve observed pulling their links to date are Steph and the Warriors’ moral compass…Kevon Looney.
I would pretty much give every other Warrior player either a C+ or a C- to date. Three of these players are going to be NBA Hall of Fame honorees someday. They would be Chris Paul, Klay Thompson, and Draymond…. ‘The Rudy Gobert Choker’.
I love Draymond’s loyalty to Klay, but you can’t miss five games choking the highly annoying Rudy Gobert. So what I’m thinking here is you performed this act of terror to gain more clicks for your popular blog/podcast…..much like you did last year when you punched out teammate Jordan Poole.
Draymond….Warrior ownership didn’t give you that new contract to choke other players and blog. You’re being paid to be the Soul of the Warriors. Please start doing your job.
Klay settle in and make your shots. You’re rushing.
Chris Paul pick up the offense on nights when Klay and Andrew Wiggins aren’t making shots.
Andrew Wiggins.. do exactly what you did against the Thunder on Saturday night and that will be enough till the playoffs.
Johnny Kuminga and Moses…mentally bear down and stop turning the ball over with loose basketball plays.
Dario, buddy….stop playing like you’re going to break and start engaging every time you enter the game as if your minutes depend on it.
And Gary Payton Jr, bless your heart. Play defense, grab rebounds, and don’t shoot the ball unless it’s a layup or dunk.
That’s it for me this Thanksgiving week Monday evening.
