Just finished Game 5. Gary Payton II was a 27% 3fg shooter for his 5-year, 128-game G League career (2016-21). His defense has always been fantastic, but his development into a 39% corner 3 guy this year & having 2 3fgm games in a playoff series is testament to his work ethic.
3 games in 3 days in Texas. 2 NBA starts. 2 NBA career-highs (1 matching). 9 3s.
Welcome to the Moses Moody Experience. Hope you're ready for the next 15 years.
Starters for Golden State: Jonathan Kuminga, Jarrod Uthoff, Mac McClung, Quinndary Weatherspoon, Moses Moody.
This is what we call a very talented Summer League starting unit.
I know Santa Cruz has won a title and that’s fantastic, but this is the biggest day in Santa Cruz Warriors history IMO. Getting the No. 2 pick to play in a rehab assignment is monstrous.
Moses Moody just had the nastiest putback dunk you will ever see. Someone clip that please. Oh my god. It was so nasty Birmingham called timeout.
I'm not lying when I say it's a top-5 putback dunk I've seen all year.
57-55 Squadron w/ 9:06 to go 3rd qtr.
Starters for Golden State: Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Justinian Jessup, Selom Mawugbe
Starters for Orlando: Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, RJ Hampton, Jon Teske
Both starting 4 guys under team control.
I make my WNBA debut August 19 broadcasting Sparks-Mercury alongside the great
@ROSGO21

@StanfordWBB
(hey Alanna and Nneka)
@GLeagueWarriors
and
@PinkRoomWBB
reunion broadcast of sorts.
Broadcasting in the W has long been a goal of mine, and I'm so excited to get this game.
New rule for Warriors Twitter- you don’t get to say “play Moses Moody more minutes” without saying who you’d play him over. I love Moses Moody as much as you, trust me, but there’s only 240 minutes of playing time to go around for a game. Whose minutes is he taking?
I don’t know who with the San Antonio Spurs needs to hear this, but in France, the PA announcer for Mets 92 would do a “WEM-BEEEE!!!” call and response with the fans after Vic made a great play, the fans chanted “WEM-BEEE” back, and it was awesome.
I hope that continues in SA.
Just got off the phone with the powers that be- I'm back for Year 12 with the
@GLeagueWarriors
. As it was once said, I am a Warriors, and I'm always gonna be a Warriors (until another NBA team gives me a call up, in which case I will cease being a Warriors).
Chris Chiozza tonight for Long Island, in an Elam Ending OT win (132-128 over Raptors 905):
21pts, 10reb, 19ast, 3stl, 2blk in 50:51 of court time. They had 8 available. Not sure how much time elapsed in OT but he mighta gone the whole way.
A lot of dedicated American basketball fans/media members know Mega is now...well Dejan basically made Mega what it is today -- an NBA Draft prospect factory.
Mega had 1 guy drafted in its history before Dejan, and 11 guys drafted during Dejan's tenure. Incredible stuff.
Starters for Golden State:
Mac McClung
Quinndary Weatherspoon
Moses Moody
Jonathan Kuminga
James Wiseman
Don't have Boston starters yet, but I can confirm that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will not be playing tonight.
Starters for Santa Cruz: Chris Chiozza (2-way GSW), Jerome Robinson, Quinndary Weatherspoon (2-way GSW), Ryan Taylor, James Wiseman (assigned by GSW)
3rd game with Santa Cruz for Chiozza. Obviously, 1st for Wiseman.
I don't think I've ever seen someone not play in the first half of a game and then proceed to go 6-6fg and 3-3 3fg in the 2nd half. Ashten Prechtel's 16-3-4-2b line will forever be legendary in my book. That is nearly impossible to do. What a performance.
FINAL: Lakers 84, Warriors 76
Jessup- 18pts 3reb 6-12fg 4-7 3fg
Moody- 14pts 2reb 6-12fg 2-7 3fg
Guy- 16pts 7reb 5ast
McLaughlin- 7pts 8reb 7ast
Oliver- 8pts 10reb
Summer League is over for the Summer Dubs. See you in Octobe.
Stephen Curry, DeMarcus Cousins and Quinn Cook are all in the building tonight. Ties for all 3 -- Steph's brother-in-law is Damion Lee, DeMarcus' younger brother, Jaleel, is on the Sea Dubs, and of course Quinn played with these guys last year (and murdered)
Quinndary Weatherspoon with back-to-back buckets to cut the Memphis lead to 53-43. Weatherspoon with 14pts 2reb 1stl on 6-8fg
Moses Moody has been really good too- 14pts on 6-10fg, 2-4 3fg
I've seen a little bit of chatter about Podz's shooting numbers in Summer League. IDK for sure, but I'd imagine the coaches are 0% concerned that he's 31%fg and 27% 3fg right now.
Many rookies historically have bad shooting SL numbers. Eg- Jordan Poole was 22% 3fg in '19.
Draymond Green was born on 3rd base with the situation he was drafted into. He probably wouldn’t have been an All-Star if drafted elsewhere.
He’s like the Rajon Rondo of the Big 3 Celtics teams. Important, but definitely not one of the top stars (like he thinks he is).
Starters for Golden State:
JaQuori McLaughlin
Kyle Guy
Justinian Jessup
Jonathan Kuminga
Selom Mawugbe
Moses Moody and Gary Payton II are not playing tonight.
Seth Cooper will be acting head coach for 2nd time in Vegas.
Heat leads Warriors 61-59. Moses Moody and Weatherspoon hoopin' right now- Moses with 13 and Q with 12.
Really like how Jessup has moved off the ball today. He's got 11

Jonathan Kuminga (groin) and Ryan Taylor (ankle) will not play today.
Tired: Tom Brady is retiring
Wired: Moses Moody has been assigned to Santa Cruz and should play in the Sea Dubs' game Sunday at Austin on NBC Sports Bay Area Plus at 3pm.
It started with me calling him Vincent Wembanyama on ESPN2. I was just happy I got another chance to say his name right.
A big thanks to everyone who tuned into the Wembycast on the NBA App this year. Santa Cruz will always be

Jordan Bell making plays on both ends- blocking shots, taking charges, dropping dimes, blowing by defenders for layups, getting back in transition and stealing outlet passes.
He's got SCW up 36-35 w/ 9:32 left 2nd qtr
Per Warriors PR, Reggie Perry set a Golden State Warriors Summer League rebounding record with his 17 caroms corralled against Dallas today.
What a game.
Most important stat from the night that nobody is talking about:
Warriors improve to 8-3 when Kevin Danna is on the radio broadcast, and NBA teams are 9-3 overall when Danna fills in (LAC 1-0).
What can I say? I’m a winner.
