    Jordan Poole sucks. I'll take Ant over him easily.

    Who needs a PG when you have 2 wing defenders in Tatum and Brown?

    Boston is too big for them.

    Lesson- if we're under .500 next season, don't give up.

    It reminds me of a high scoring possession we had in the 2018-19 season. All I know is that it involved technicals, a three pointer, the Golden State Warriors, and Jake Layman...

    Found it. Up 7 to Up 15 in one possession. Nice pass by Seth Curry. Wish we could get that guy back on our team.

    Depends on the record. Boston was virtually a .500 team to begin the season until they went 25-6 to finish the season

    I have three different friends down in the bay area. All of them avid Warriors fans. They all hate Draymond Green. They absolutely want him off the team.

    To me whether you like him or not he’s the glue on that team especially in playoffs. He does all the dirty work that makes them champions. His BBall IQ is off the charts. Seems like every team needs a guy like him, PJ Tucker, Marcus Smart, Lambeer, Rodman, K Rambis (sp?), etc

    Lot of people say this but I'm not so sure? It also seems like it's becoming less and less that way? Now he seems to be more distraction than much else. he certainly did very little to help them last night.

    Draymond was soooo close to be traded a couple years ago. Kerr has been tired of his shit for a long time. But they know how valuable he is. However…changes could be coming at some point. They have to figure out how long to hold onto this core before moving on to the young guys. Draymond is still very good, but he really is a distraction much of the time.

    While I don't think Poole sucks at all, finally something I can agree with.

    yup. Was listening to a great interview with Tom Izzo yesterday who stated it took him a while to figure it out, but Green's greatest attribute is his mind. Among other things he noted is on D how fantastic his off ball rotations that cut off interior passes before they're thrown and how he's constantly calling out the opponent's intentions to teammates quarterbacking the D. Thats the sort of stuff that doesn't show up in the box score but it does in the standings.

    A bunch of people who watch that team every game simply hate that guy. Yes he can be a huge positive but the negatives are out weighing the positives at this point.
    I certainly don't want him here now. Maybe 3-4 years ago but no way now.

    He'd be ejected every game if he was a Blazer.

    funny part is he’s what I think we need. Tough hard nose player who can impact game without scoring. I’d be happy to have him on our team. Believe him and Dame got really close during Olympics.

    His Bball IQ is off the charts
