To the contrary, I would not hesitate to dome Klay Thompson with a sniper rifle

Has anybody done a piece on the rise of the 3 and D small guard? Feel like we’re seeing more of that type in this playoffs than we’ve seen before? Being able to get up in the shirt of a guard creator and deny switches seems like it’s been underrated. The “3” part also seems to be kind of negotiable. They have such low usage in part bc they put so much energy into playing super high effort D.

Yes I am outing myself as an Alex Caruso stan.

I’m saying I really dislike Klay

Feels like quite the zag. Why?

I think it requires a certain environment?

Mitchell is on ball way too much offensively for my taste and doesn’t do a great job of denying switches

Payton, on the other hand

Mostly it’s his face (Om not saying it’s rational)

I’m also really exhausted by his rings stuff. Steph doesn’t do it

Gotcha. He seems like a character, in a way that isn’t entirely manufactured or narrative driven, so I’ve always been predisposed to liking him.

I will acknowledge I suffer from Warriors exhaustion

Rooting for them at this point feels like rooting for the Yankees or the bank

Whoever wins this series, the next one with the Nuggets should be fun too.

I think the Warriors will demolish the Nuggy Nuggs

Looney might be the single most underrated player in the whole league

Winner of this gets Grizzlies/Lakers

Alex Caruso!

Steph’s D is so much better than JP’s

Not sure a technical was warranted for that.

Ah, that’s right. Suns-Nuggets should be good though.

The revelation of this series for me has been DeAaron Fox

Second is Monk isn’t JAS

Warriors really need to disentangle from the refs

That is a textbook moving screen

How good was their Kentucky team?
