    When we're starting Grant, Deni and Toumani, Grant is effectively our 2 guard.

    In fairness to Anfernee, (a) he hardly played at all in preseason, and (b) we were looking pretty good for the beginning stretch with him. We really dropped off a cliff when they subbed in Scoot.

    I really want to see us start a MASSIVE lineup with Deni as PG and Grant as SG. Maybe start Ayton and Clingan together as well. Why not? We're going to lose anyway.

    Him being our leading scorer is not helping us.

    I had checked the Timbers score and it was 0-0 20 minutes in as the Blazers started the second quarter. As the Warriors took over I thought to myself 'should've gone to the Timbers game' and then checked the score again and they were down 3-0. What a brutal night.

    Probably telling Ant to get far away from this team.

    Screw him, Blazers gave him a nice contract, biggest of his life. He manufactured drama and whined his way back to the Warriors.

    I have to admit that I would as well. Then again I watched that train wreck last night, so……

    He got shoved in a locker by an upper classman. Then had his lunch money stolen

    I would've said that earlier but watching the Blazers after he went out last night made me re-think. I mean, it's not like we're going to win if he stays, but we're slightly less likely to get blown out by 60 multiple times.

    I don't know if anyone saw what Bill Belichek said about the now Patriots coach publicly criticizing the players. He said it's a better look if the coach takes responsibility. I think for the first time I am really ready to see Billups gone. Maybe give him five games to see more consistent effort on defense and some form of successful offense. But really that should have taken shape already after 3 years. Cronin needs to show some courage here.

    Scoot had lots of issues last night, but I wish people would stop using +/- as a gauge for a single game. It's a useless stat until about half a season is the sample size.

    as HCP pointed out earlier in the thread, Brandin Podzeimski led Golden State in +/- with a +34 and he scored exactly 0 points while shooting 0-5.
