Game 53, Warriors at Jazz 6PM PST, the usual suspects

[ShayDee]

Nobody can miss this game. I guess it's one of those games where everyone is locked in to just chuck 3s and head to all star break

[killmongrel]

Kuminga gotta get going.

[Crazy-Canuck]

So looks like klay going to the bench, he gets closing minutes in return.

Wiggins is now the closing odd man out.

Lol klay didn't want to do that halftime interview, he's still pissed about not starting lmaoooo

Collins, Clarkson..these are really bad defensive players and we are just feasting on them..lol

[Romulus]

Finally, Kerr has put Klay in a position to succeed. Finally.

[Big J]

I guess Kerr just doesn't like Moody as a player for his system, either that or there is too much overlap with him on the team. It's just unfortunate as he should have been traded if he was going to rot the bench.

Lester over him? I mean I like lester but one of these players is a lottery pick. Such a shame

Lester does things Moody can't do. I think we're sandbagging Moody so we can sign him cheap on his next contract. Not a bad idea tbh.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Kuminga gotta get going.

Teams are figuring it out.

They aren't biting on pumps and just walling up. And he's given that westbrook cushion when he has the ball at the 3 pt line.

[TB]

My hopes for this game:

- Solid Klay game. Everyone should be rooting for him to succeed in a bench role.

NO

Klay playing well just means he’ll get to start next game.

YES

See that would be a Kerr problem. I’m not rooting against Klay thriving in a role that fits his current abilities.

Huh? That's not the impression I got at all. If anything it's making Kerr look smart and Klay showing out might mean he's more willing to embrace this role going forwards. 20-25 mpg mostly against second units and then the hottest two of Wig/Klay/JK will close. Makes sense to me.

Klay seemed fine with it. He just wanted to talk about how good he was.

That's not good. Some people here told me he was untouchable.

How Utah shot lights out from 3 and still down 13 is remarkable.

Klay is having a great game

We've been working towards this for a while. You don't just bench a franchise icon. Most important thing is that it went well, and so far it has. Now maybe it'll stick.

What guarantee is there he will play next season? All the players in rotation now will be on the team next season. Unless the let Klay walk if I were Moody I am not signing the extension and picking up the QO

Edit: Actually he is not restricted yet but I won't sign still

[TB]

I don’t think Lester minutes have anything to do Moody. Paul is hurt, CoJo is gone, and Podz is now starting. He’s a backup combo guard. Moody is stuck behind Wiggins, Kuminga, Klay and GP2.

He'd love nothing more than to let it fly, but he knows if he shoots a 3 with more than 1 second left on the shot clock, he goes to the bench. It's a Kerr mandate, not a Kuminga problem.

It won't. He'll be starting the first game out of the All Star break.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Dray and wiggins bringing that defense to start the half.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Podz is getting cooked defensively.
