GSW look excellent except for having trouble in the last 2 minutes of the game in the speciality skills of inbounding the ball, avoiding bad fouls, committing strategic fouls, passing the ball (to teammates), dribbling the ball (and keeping it), shooting the ball (through the net).
If they can get to five games over five hundred I’ll change my outlook for them… they have played better but also don’t _look_ like a good team

For all of the consistent agony of the GSW games, they actually have won 5 of the last 6 and were 2 total points away from winning their last 8 games in a row.
I should schedule this to auto-post every Warriors game

the best action to take about this is to subscribe to papers that cover women’s sports so that they keep sending women’s sports writers to cover stories

Tonight marks Pat Spencer's 29th game active for the Warriors. He has 21 left on his Two-Way deal, which would take him through Feb. 3rd, before he has to be sidelined.
The other Two-Ways, LJ Cryer (38 games) & Malevy Leons (36 games) have not used any of their available games.

I probably won’t go back to doing those… It’s a lot of work and 10% of the audience...
Congrats! But that means you get to do E1P after losses sometimes, how do you feel about that?

Notes on Jonathan Kuminga's Trade Kicker:
🔹Worth 15% of the remaining guaranteed value left on the contract (25/26 prorated salary)
🔸Does not count as outgoing salary for GSW
🔹Does count as incoming salary for JK's new team
🔸Does count against GSW's cap sheet after trade
