![]() ![]() Green was listed as “out for personal reasons” on the injury report as early as Tuesday night, as tweeted by John Dickinson of 95.7. That clip was posted after tipoff, leading me to believe that it happened during morning shootaround. Fast forward to Wednesday, Mistah FAB posted an Instagram Reel from inside Ball Arena in Denver, where he and Dray joked about Fabby’s Uncle Ernest not making the trip. Earlier last month, a very-pregnant-looking Renee had posted the gender reveal on Instagram. Nothing you can really do about that at this point of the season - I’d even be shocked if Saric was as vocal as need be by the end of the season the Warriors are simply worse on many fronts with Draymond missing.īy the way, there was apparently social media speculation that Draymond’s wife Hazel Renee had given birth to their baby daughter. Secondly, Saric actually picked the wrong guy to cover, leaving the two smallest guys on the court to fend with Michael Porter, Jr. So the transition defense with Dario Saric in Draymond’s spot, first of all you know his vocality isn’t going to be as great as Dray’s. CP probably knows AG is at 33% 3PP, didn't want Saric on Reggie. ![]() The following plays illustrated what we missed on defense early, in terms of setting the tone, from the absence of Draymond Green (also Gary Payton II, but I chose not to put emphasis on him):ģm00 Q1 CP airball then people don't sprint back, Dario ends up directing the wrong traffic, should've noticed Steph and CP had to cover 6'10 guy (MPJ dunk putback)Ģm05 Q2 Saric doesn't need to help CP vs Reggie. With early miscues such as Klay Thompson ’s double-dribble, zigging while Steph thought he would zag, and Andrew Wiggins ’ ongoing offensive struggles, there still leaves much to be desired from the starters, albeit… Obviously their youngsters, new to the program, new to defending the Steve Kerr System, struggled and the Warriors’ second unit actually eventually helped take the lead, late. So the difference after the first two quarters was minus-six and so to win the game you’ve got to outscore the defending champs by seven in the second half - tall order, considering they’ve started the season on a roll. People often forget how big their starting unit is, and this is with Jamal Murray usually in there (out due to hamstring) instead of Reggie Jackson, who actually did a decent job filling in. Sure, those quotes of “we” were in the context of the team, but I don’t think he’s up there nitpicking anyone on the second unit, you know what I mean? Also, credit the Nuggets’ length. I’ll go ahead and put the video here, just in case: Offensively, get a little bit more organized understanding the how they guard us and what they try to take away.” Sure enough, Steph literally got up on the podium postgame and his first answer alluded to recognizing his own mistakes: “…we can play a lot better in the margins and we can execute a little bit better. (You could call drawing the above foul vs the triple-team a positive) …although Steph did have at least one play (in the first half) where he made the Nuggets pay for their over-attention on him:Ĩm27 Q1 Steph fundamental pass inside to Loon and-one ![]() ![]() But anyways, back to Denver (full list of notes at the bottom):Ĩm57 Q1 Klay doesn't move to the corner, Steph tov - vets tov earlyĤm14 Q2 Steph has 3 guys on him! Draws a foulġm50 Q2 Steph bad tov, underestimating the length, side-step picking up his dribble, he probably thought Jokic would let him shoot 2, but Jokic actually commits to a closeout, so it's just Steph getting used to the gameplan against him (Malone)ġm35 Q2 Steph should've nutmegged Jokic, kicked ball ![]()
