> Steve Kerr on Draymond Green's absence: "It's not an excuse. Whole league's missing people. We have to get better with our offensive execution while he's out."
>Steve Kerr: "It felt like we were losing the game before the free throws were bad. Our energy wasn't right. I didn't have them ready to play... We were turning it over, not getting good shots. Denver played a good first half."
> > JTA on what is needed in Draymond's absence: "Somebody's gotta bring the energy. I take the blame for that. I started in Draymond's place, so I'll be the first to take the blame... Next game I'll try to be better."
>JTA on team's free throws being the reason they lost: "That and turnovers.... I missed 5. That's gonna bother me all night. Imma go in tomorrow, shoot 100 free throws, 500 free throws... Just gotta be better tomorrow."
> Draymond Green hinted at an expected rest night in Toronto on Saturday for the veterans. Steve Kerr said no official decision has been made, but seems like Warriors are leaning toward sitting Curry/Draymond/maybe others against Raptors.
The Warriors play the Toronto Raptors on Saturday on the 2nd night of a back-to-back where they play the Boston Celtics the 1st night on Friday. I'm hoping to see a Jonathan Kuminga and/or Moses Moody vs Scottie Barnes matchup if Curry & Draymond do rest
After watching No Way Home, and seeing Goblin at his best, arguably even better than he was in 2002, do you guys think Steve Rogers Cap can beat him? Or does he get wrecked?
Round 1 : No gear, no super suits, just hand to hand combat.
Round 2 : Full gear. Goblin also has that forearm blade from No Way Home's final battle.
Bonus Round : Osborn was able to steal Stormbreaker from Thor (You don't need to be worthy to lift Stormbreaker), Cap has Mjolnir. Who wins this?

Kinda disappointing because I want Giannis and the team to be tested by one of the clear DPOY favorites this season in Draymond and the fully-loaded Dubs. But it is, what it is. Let's look forward on the matchup tho
I was just listening to the latest “Drop Out” episode. I very much recommend people read the book “Small Fry” the memoir by Steve Jobs’ eldest daughter Lisa Brennen-Jobs to get a better idea of the connection between Elizabeth’s “lifestyle” and Jobs’ habits. Spoiler: she was copying Jobs (which has been mentioned many times before but the “Small Fry” book goes into MUCH greater detail.) The idea that Sunny came up with any of this lifestyle stuff to control her is laughable in my opinion.
> Kerr was a Team USA assistant and spent many weeks around both Draymond and Durant during the gold-medal run in the Tokyo Olympics and they all seemed fine with each other. I asked Kerr: Are you and Draymond OK with each other going into this training camp? > > “I love Draymond,” Kerr said. “I can’t wait for this season. He’s going to be a huge part of it. It’s amazing when you think about what has been built here over the last decade by these players. I’m sitting here at Chase right now looking at the wall and looking at pictures of Steph and Klay and Andre and Draymond. It’s just stunning to think about a decade ago when these guys first started to arrive. … You think about what exists now in the Bay Area, the connection that these guys have built with our fans, what they’ve built in terms of the basketball success, but more importantly, just this amazing connection with the fan base. It’s beautiful. Draymond’s obviously right in the middle of all that. I’m lucky to coach all these guys and really excited about this year.” > > I’ve written many times that Kerr and Draymond are much more similar than many people presume. They’re both quite edgy when they’re in the middle of high competition and sometimes that leads to great things from both of them and sometimes it leads to temporary eruptions of anger. The point is, the relationship has worked just fine for the Warriors about 98 percent of the time and they wouldn’t have three championships without it. > > “We both have the ability to snap, to completely lose our minds,” Kerr said. “So you’re right, we are more alike than people would guess. I think the competitive fire inside us is actually very similar. It drives us. It’s what drove me from the time I was a little kid to now. It’s what’s driven Draymond. That competitiveness is always going to drive us. > > “It’s part of who we are organizationally; it’s part of who we are individually. It’s something I look at, and every day I’m thankful to go to war with Draymond Green.”
