He Just Needs Two
Everyone is saying how cool it is that Steph is going to break the record at MSG and I guess it’s cool. Personally, I’m not too jazzed about this record. It’s been obvious for many years that he’s the best 3 point shooter of all time. I guess it’s good to finally have the record behind him to prove it. It’s been funny watching these teams go to great lengths to try to stop him from taking it down on their floor. I don’t think New York has anyone who can slow him down though.
Maybe they’ll try this?
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Agreed, focus on record by media way overblown. Interesting thing to me will be what rotation looks like once Thompson is back on floor for good. This will change sub patterns that Kerr has for most part done great job with. FO did well in off season to add in good depth pieces; finding 20+ minutes for #11 is gonna cut into playing time for someone (maybe more than one)…see how that works out.
I think it’s fucking with Steph a bit. He doesn’t look like he’s enjoying the hoopla around it. He sure has been off his game this last week.
Wiggins stands to lose the most playing time. He’s pretty inconsistent anyway, so the change is welcome.
Wiggins, really? He’s a solid defender who attacks rim and scores midrange, and can knock down a 3. Other forwards have definite smaller skill set. I’m wondering more about Poole and Lee. Kuminga is interesting but minutes where he can fit in less dependent on what Thompson does.
Baseball’s the only sport with indelible numbers in the record books.
Basketball? Only Wilt’s 100, I’d say.
Football? Used to know OJ’s 2003, no idea what the record is now or who even holds it.
I doubt that most 49er fans know Jerry Rice’s career totals…
Hi Loo . . . Agree with you. Related to NFL, I am flabbergasted that no one calls BS to Tom Brady’s accomplishments.
Welcome back, Blade!!!
cool pic. Loo which bridge is this? Recognize the landscape at all or has it completely changed?
Still can’t believe George tore down the house that Ruth built. Travesty.
I’m sure it’s the Macombs Dam Bridge that people used to walk between the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium.
Not sure if any Flappos made it there in 2016…

As far as recognizing it, I couldn’t tell you much.
My only reason for ever going up there was the occasional trip to Yankee Stadium.
The neighborhood was a war zone pre-Giuliani…
Pretty sure they haven’t moved the river…
Think it’s Eric Dickerson? back in the 80’s who holds the most rushing yards over 2,100 ?
I definitely did not want to see him break it last night. Doing it at MSG if there is one place on the road to get max media attention that is the place. All bball eyes will be on NYC tonight.
Since he knows exactly where he stands I wonder if Steph can accurately miss a 3 he’s so good, just to make sure he breaks the record in NY.As GH just said it’s max media, like a Ali/Frazier fight!
Enjoyed watching last night’s game. You could see how beneficial having Sabonis on the Dubs would give them an extra dimension. Would take probably Wiseman, Looney (maybe the Pacers agree to waive him) Porter and or Damion Lee (prob they would waive both) to make the money work and then add another #1 and #2. Who makes that deal?
I’m not too worried about the rotation once Klay is back. Poole becomes the 6th man and hopefully takes charge as the go to scorer for the 2nd shift. The way they are using Steph this year, he would pair up with Poole as the backcourt starting 2nd and 4th qtrs so should be plenty of offensive ammo while Klay sits.
Different mind set as sub vs. being starter. Once Thompson is ready to roll, he’s getting crunch time minutes while Poole sits–does that mean he hunts more of his own shots and points while in there? How does that affect overall team performance, including D and ball movement/turnovers?
Shit, my son has been pining for Andre Drummond for years. A guy like him and we are unbeatable.
Just hoping against hope Wiseman works out. I’m not seeing it from him.
Yet, bro. Ayton as a comp had full year of college at Pac 12 U of A before turning pro, plus has multiple seasons behind him already with 196 games played in his NBA career in his 4th season–Wiseman has one partial season only and 3 games of college. Given time I think Wiseman can be similarly effective player with better shooting range. Hope GS keeps him.
Yeah I’m not thinking of trading him, but I really hope he rounds out.
Yeah, it’s Dickerson, AK. Adrian Peterson got like 4 yards away from the record a few years back. And Derrick Henry got close (75 yards?) last year.
Interesting stat: Allen made his soon-to-be-broken-record 2,973 3s on a record 7,429 attempts, while Curry has attempted a far fewer 6,889, 3rd all-time.
In close to half the games.
Yeah, I saw Kat point that out!
19 seasons for Allen setting the 3 range record
13 seasons for Curry to break it which includes a lot
missed games with injuries and a shortened covid season..
Regular season games played,1,900 games played by Allen, 788 for Curry easily over 2-1 ratio..
Wow. Didn’t realize the # of games discrepancy. Way under half.
Wasn’t fan of teams he played on (Celts and Heat) but Ray Allen is class guy all the way. His bio “From the Outside” is very good read.
I would love to see the Warriors make a trade with the Pacers for C Myles Turner who would be a perfect fit and is still only 25 just hitting his stride..He’s a serious rim protector, heck he’s in the running for DPOY (can u imagine teaming him up with Green? a shot blocker at 2.8 a game( one weakness on the Dubs middle of the pack I believe?) and he’s even hitting 3’s at close to 40% and he’s not thrilled how the Pacers are using him..
Warriors window is closing with the big 3 all in their mid 30’s add Turner for that final push for a championship!
Yeah your going to have to give up Wiseman,Moody?, Toscana? can’t think of the name of that guy Kumiga? whatever package might work I’d be all in! Hey I like Wiseman but do they have the patience to keep developing him over Turner’s who’s already a proven commodity?Thoughts? Even on different players involved are salary?
Turner needs to grow up. He thinks he’s just a role player in Ind. He’d fucking hate playing in SF
Kuminga has potential to be a beast.
I’d keep him at all costs…
Definitely, Snarkk. I’d trade Wiseman before Kuminga.
I think he has a shot in a few years at being another Kawhi Leonard, hopefully without the head case…
Yeah, he’s already a great slasher to the rim and a solid defender. The rest will come around.
If Kuminga becomes another Kawhi I’ll take it. Any rookie that turns into a MVP, Ring winner and likely HOF’r is a win, even if he is a head case:)
Tons of potential/so little experience.
I saw game on TV at San Diego St. when they retired Leonard’s number, very cool thing. Always loved watching him play, and hope he can return this season to near previous level.
It is cool tonight’s’ game is at the Garden, and realize Knicks would love nothing better than to be able to walk out with a W. As Ernie J just said, Warriors have won 7 in a row there. Last time they lost, Steph got 54. Could be one of those “ring ceremony” games where defending Champs get hardware, and opposing team takes it upon themselves to knock them down a peg.
Half the Knicks team is out so I doubt it, Willie.
Only one starter though, Barrett. More minutes/shots for everyone else.
Bench guys keeping Warriors in it–they’ve got half the points.
starters getting back in groove, cut lead to 2.
Well Hoosiers Coach Dale would say :We will play with 4 my teams on the floor ref!!
Fuckin COVID is wreaking havoc again.
At least in sports.
Question:
If you test positive, do they know which variant you have?
It depends on what test is used.
Not a super helpful answer, I know.
So each variant has it’s own test?
Has anyone died from the new one?
Do they even know?
So tired of this already.
Fauci has no insight of value.
All he does is state after the fact obvious shit.
Brilliant man, nice guy, shitty pitcher and totally defeated by this menace…
We need at least 90% of people to be fully vaccinated in order to defeat the virus. There are too many stubborn ignorant anti-vaxxers, though.
The U.S. is now at 61%. (Less than that have gotten the booster, though.)
Calif. is at 65%. Vermont leads at 76%.
“THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The Los Angeles Rams added wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and eight other players to the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, the team announced.”
