[Spud2nique]

Warrior fan’s hot takes 

Cliff notes:

Kerr is trash 🗑 

Warriors are charmin soft.

Box and 1 on Trae  (ya he ain’t curry he can pass that ain’t gonna work).

Just wait for Curry… (sounds like a magnificent idea!)

My gf after the game: 

You need to get Trae an all star ️.

Ps It’s her 7th Hawk game watch of the year.

Trae is special. Don’t waste the window.

She's right.. We need a star Big AND a legit 2 guard..Plug in a  3&D wing....Make anyone but Trae available this summer.. 

And for the love of God, can we find a legit backup PG for Trae?

They made an appearance in the 2nd Qtr...  Lots to say... we should be in the draft... etc. etc...

Back in your box you go..

I hate to be that guy, but I noticed a "DNP-CD" next to Jalen's name. I know a win is a win, but I noticed the Warriors had a few offensive boards that led to 2nd chance scores during their runs. He probably could've helped with that.

Then she said “are you scared he might leave.”

I said absolutely not, because I trust Travis will put the right pieces around him..

This was a masterpiece by Trae. Not gonna find a PG play better than this.

And big ups to Clint. He was awesome snatching those passes and actually finishing. I know some have said Clint hasn't taken a step back, but these type of games were much, much more common last year. Feels like they happen once in a blue moon this season.

I detect lies.

I really do. There's no shortage of negativity around here and I hate to contribute to it, especially after a win against a good team. Still, the lack of playing time for a guy that can actually help more than hurt is a problem. Those offensive rebounds by the Warriors and subsequent scores fueled their runs and could've easily cost the Hawks the game.

Gallo is critical to our offensive attack.  Without him, and with no Collins, we're almost strictly a perimeter team with no post up scoring ability.

This is why it was so important to start trying to bring Jalen into the mix as soon as Collins went down.  We're not going to be able to survive with Hunter playing significant minutes at the 4.  This team could definitely use the athleticism of Jalen on the frontline.

"He ain't all that." - @benhillboy

Y’all don’t give me a break huh lol?  Y’all know I go in depth praising the great parts of his game just as much if not more than anyone.  What we need to do is get on the floor and settle this.  Cubes vs Traeters once and for all lol.

Only heard parts on the radio but Steve was hooping and hollering about Trae and Kevin most of the time.  I know Payton tried to press but judging by 33 with a 5:1 assist to turnover he didn’t get the results he hoped.

Just watched Trae’s two steals on the box score clips (God those are awesome). The second one was a gimme but the first one Draymond tried to punk him and lob to Payton.  Trae intercepted it, got thrown to the ground by Poole, but it still led to a Gallo three (love how they extended the clip to show that). That’s all I ask is some grit more times than not.

Good to see Kevin bookend that bad game with two great ones.  I just can never get too mad at him with that beautiful stroke.  “I be stroking, that’s what I be doing.”

9-11, no bunnies missed for Capela I’m guessing?  Not sure why Looney didn’t start but he still surpassed his minutes average.  I like dude and all but they tripping if they think they can compete for a ship with him beside Draymond scoring 14 points between them.  They know Wiseman gives up as many as he scores so they’re just stuck at C.

Not sure who was guarding Kuminga but they did a great job.  It takes a team to guard Klay when he’s on, not out strong suit obviously.

Leggo tho.  And why am I the only poster online right now with @Phunkabilly?

He was terrific, one of his best games of the year.

Gotta pay your dues. That requires  two years of understudy, and then in year 3 he will get a limited internship.
