My thought at this point was "Alright refs, you got us again, good job"

The craziest part is they called a foul on Fontecchio so we couldn’t even challenge. That’s either a block or an offensive foul.

Poole saw him coming and started throwing his elbow right before Olynyk got there.

Thanks for posting. Watch again. Note a few things. How close is KO's face to pooles space. Look at the motion poole makes, it wouldn't look awkward if no one was around him. He simply moved his arms and the ball up. A natural movement. Nothing out of the ordinary about it. Look at the second replay. Its pooles SHOULDER that hits KO, not his elbow. Kind of hard to throw a shoulder out far from your body. Kelly was too close. Dude needs to have space to move naturally. Lastly notice how hard KO goes down. Epic flop. He was just fine. The shoulder contact to the face was slight. KO was simply trying to manipulate the refs into a call. Which was the correct thing to do in that desperation scenario.
 
Warriors fans are mostly pissed at Klay for losing the ball the first inbounds and then leaving Beasley wide open for 3 to cut it to 1. They also don’t understand what Poole was doing at the end.
 
The flop gets funnier each time i watch. Kelly looks like he got murdered lol. He is one of the best in the history of the league at flopping.

Rim protection is correlated with blocks, but it's not a 1:1 thing.

Like one of the final plays Kuminga sent Walker flying with a pump fake because he wanted to chase the block and it resulted in him giving up an easy paint bucket to Kuminga. That's the stuff he will have to learn, when to stay down, to become an elite rim protector.

Well he is a rookie genius
 
Geez NAW put up some pretty awesome numbers
4-5 from the field, 3-4 from three, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals. Pretty impressive. The Sexton injury really sucks but at least conley should be back soon and NAW is making some strides.
 
Looked at the standings. I was surprised to see the pelicans in the #1 spot. We play them twice in the next week. Plus denver and the bucks.
 
My thoughts:

I'm kinda positively shocked that Beasley passed to Simone instead of taking his own shot. Awesome stuff. Next thing we know he starts playing defense and we got another keeper from those summer trades.

JC passing in the second half was a big positive. I guess that flagrant was according to rules, but he showed the fists for like a second and realized it so maybe they could be leanient as he obviously wasnt commited to a hockey fight..

KO absolutely did not get fouled by Poole. Ran into his shoulder. Just some good old antics. Smart try though.

Earlier this year I was leading "naw for NAW" movement, but Sextons injury and NAWs recent form has made me rename it as "naw for naw NAW".

I loved our 3rd quarter. GSW is usually a dominant team in the 3rd but we beat them easily.

Klay looked pretty washed. Used to play big with Steph out.

Last steal was maybe a foul, but Poole held the ball up on a platter, had no awareness of NAW and wasnt even strong with the ball. Refs wont see the foul if you play that dumb.
 
After the last game, I was happy to see Beasley raise his Jazz profile by hitting the three with 7+ seconds and the winning assist with 1.5 + seconds. And what a pass it was too! Who knew? The proverbial gunslinger can pass the rock when he needs to (clock winding down and two Warriors in his path). He ends up with one assist in 34.5 minutes, but what an epic assist it was!
