    Ah, that sounds right, I was watching the Rockets and Astros on different screens so maybe I saw the play, saw Ant get upset, then later saw FT's and just assumed they gave it to him.

    That's why opponent/road comes into play big time when evaluating stats/efficiency

    And Green showed why they are learning to win on both home/road, he delivered in OKC/Jazz, came up short tonite but they showed grit

    Those 2 more FG from inside 3pt line is not a much diff since he was decent for most part, it was his 3 ball that failed him....... that is going to come back as long as he shoots with his body squared/wrist flick follow thru etc, like he was doing during that win streak at prime Curry level

    If you think this game is a regress, I call it a bounce back from the Dallas ''quasi'' Jordan rules game

    Of course he is doing much better defensively because the team as whole is better ranked than last yr disaster team d

    Which is why you should be showing same energy for his vast improvement after being Overly Loud about how horrible it was past seasons

    But it don't matter

    Enjoy the Fluke ride, next season should be a doozy

    On deck ......the Fluke Extension$$$ (w/ H-Tine)

    So Jalen's hot streak and carrying is over - and we are pretty good, which isn't bad.

    Nope Dallas is gonna lose. GSW won’t lose until a game or two after the Houston game. Book it. No team can win when we need them too

    Dillon has been shooting 3s at 35%, not amazing but not horrible either. Shot blocker? How's that's shot blocker gonna get PT with Sengun, Adams and Landale?

    I'm saying it. Green looks like a more skilled player than Ant. His handles are more fluid and creates separation with it more effectively than Ant.

    We do not need Dillion, he is not a elite defender like Amen or Tari and average shooter in clutch. Playing time? Sengun and Adam are centers, we need a Power Forward who can rebound and block shots(back side defense). Jabari needs to be better or I would get Robert Williams from Portland

    Dillion’s 3 point shooting? In the last 10 games he shot 24% when we needed him the most. We can replace Dillion

    Shooters will help spread the floor. When Jalen drives and passes the ball or Fred does it, it will open the game up.

    I swear Jalen shoots a higher percentage on snatch back step back threes than wide open catch and shoot threes.

    If Green makes someone stumble backwards he's making that three.

    The playoff run is over. We are losing and farking Worriers can't lose a single game. Still, a very successful season.

    who cares about the playin? if we don't finish top 8 after the regular season it is pointless. Playin makes a mockery of the regular season.

    Bari tends to make the 3s with someone running at him and miss the wide open ones - both get into their heads too much vs just shooting
