“Biggest thing you got is memories, because it goes by fast."
From Steph Curry, Steve Kerr and the rest of the Warriors stars, I wrote about advice for first-time fathers and gave a peek into our own journey with our greatest Christmas gift ❤️👨👩👧🎄
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green still sit together on the team plane. Warriors GM Bob Myers walked past them on the way to Game 6 and reminded them how special their bond is to be doing this for the past 10 years.
Pretty historic trio
Sabonis when guarded by Klay: 0 of 4
Monk when guarded by Klay: 0 of 7
Fox when guarded by Klay: 2 of 8
Huerter when guarded by Klay: 2 of 7
Klay Thompson is a +38 in the Warriors' last two games, helping even the series at 2-2
Draymond Green and Gary Payton just had a long talk after the Warriors’ win, and Draymond was all ears
Two of the best defensive players to ever lace ‘em up
Listen to Draymond at the end on Steph Curry's lack of foul calls: "What, because he doesn't complain he doesn't get calls? If you do complain you get a tech, so make up ya mind."
Donte DiVincenzo says he and Gary Payton II talk during almost every timeout about what GP2 would do defensively
“It’s going to be super fun playing full court with him.”
Jordan Poole at 22 years old shot 50.8% from the field, 39.1% from three and 91.5% from the line in his first crack at the playoffs. He had a true shooting percentage of 65.4%
That’s not normal.
The Last Two Minute Report says the refs missed 5 calls against the Warriors in the final two minutes of OT against the Celtics
Klay Thompson shouldn’t have fouled out
Jordan Poole didn’t foul Malcolm Brogdon
Two missed defensive 3 seconds on Boston
24-seconds on Al Horford
Walking to get a coffee and just saw Andrew Wiggins signing autographs for a few fans outside the Warriors’ hotel.
Shoutout to the fan wearing a Wiggins high school jersey, Wiggs was impressed
Source: Shaun Livingston will not be with the Warriors next season. He spent the last three seasons in the front office as director of players affairs and engagement
The decision was Livingston’s to spend more time with family. Livingston won’t be living in the Bay Area
More Draymond on Steph: "You held me down again, brotha. Held me down again, and I can't thank him enough. Absolutely amazing. A master at work. Not often times in life do you get to see a master at work, so appreciate that. I know I did."
"He's the best shooter in the world" or "greatest shooter ever" continues to be such a tired and lazy narrative for Steph Curry
If that's all you see, you're not really watching
Asked Draymond Green about looking at the standings right now
“I told y’all this before — we get in the playoffs, I don’t care who we play or what seed we are, don’t nobody want to play against us in the playoffs.”
Steph on IG Live wearing a Wiseman jersey laughing at preseason predictions, calling Draymond the Defensive Player of the Year, showing non-stop love to Klay and shouting out Ja for playing his ass off and calling him the MVP
Moses Moody says Draymond Green was the first one to let him know he was going in to start the fourth quarter of Game 3 with an "inspirational" speech
He couldn't exactly repeat the words
Steve Kerr says Draymond Green called the final play of the game before Jordan Poole's game-winning layup and the Warriors hadn't practiced it in months
Ran into Gary Payton II leaving the arena in Las Vegas. GP2 will go back to wearing No. 0 next season now that Donte DiVincenzo is on the New York Knicks
“Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.”
Yesterday morning, Gary Payton II was all smiles at shootaround. Talked to me about his perfectly subtle signature dunk celebration and showed love for my
@NonameBooks
hoodie. On a human element, not going to get over this injury for him. Just a good guy that doesn’t deserve this
Steve Kerr on the Warriors finding their joy and culture again next season: "There's no hiding from it. The incident between Draymond and Jordan played a role in it."
Klay Thompson is good to go. He, Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Andre Iguodala all practiced today
No Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman or JaMychal Green
Klay Thompson on James Wiseman: "I just know he's going to be a heck of a player in this league. ... I'm going to miss him."
Klay and Wiseman spent a bunch of time together rehabbing and were locker mates at Chase Center
The players that Bob Myers specifically has mentioned and thanked: Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevon Looney and Kevin Durant
Also: Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Shaun Livingston, David West, Zaza Pachulia, Andrew Bogut and Leandro Barbosa
It’s almost 1 a.m. The Warriors just played a double overtime game. Thought I was one of the last in the building.
Moses Moody is getting shots up right now on the main court at Chase Center. That’s why he’s so respected, pretty cool to see.
Andrew Wiggins won't play tomorrow for the Warriors.
He's still out for a family matter. Wiggins could play either Friday in Sacramento or Sunday in Portland before either the play-in tournament or playoffs begin
