In-Game Notes

• New twist on the usual Weak PNR. The pick (Dray) stops short for a post up. Gets funny fadeaway to go.
• Dubs playing casually to start. KD with two straight passes stolen after two great passes to cutters. KD claps loud to wake himself up.
• Steph trying to energize crowd with hot dog passes. It’s working.
• KD has had I think three straight passes stolen, then two deflected
• Steph seems to be trying to ICE sideline PNR, but other Dubs are slow to rotate to stop the drive
• The Steph and the Gang Q2-Q4 lineup looks a *lot* better when Klay is in.
• Steph had a very extended conversation with the ref in the timeout. Presumably about no-call on his drive that JJ put back.
• GSW is playing a bit worse than half-assed. I estimate about 0.4 assed.
• Klay continues to shoot on touch.
• GSW looking a little sluggish in off ball movement when KD posts. Give him some targets!
• Oracle loves the Hardwood Classics, the older generation dance team. Put them just under Free Stuff in the Oracle crowd power rankings.
• Steph & KD are going to force feed Klay out of his slump, or die trying
• GSW D looks almost like a 2-1-2 zone. NYK doesn’t know what to do about it.
• Oracle has all the energy of a DMV tonight. Expecting “miss FTs for free burger” to win easily in crowd noise rankings.
• Kanter is the only Knick the Warriors fear. And by fear, I mean slightly pay attention to.
• So does Steph play at all in Q4?
• Welp, the Knicks seem on track to lose *cough* Zion *cough* as GSW is up 23 on only 0.4 ass impulse power.
• Andre is so bored he almost shot that FT into the stands
• Update: force fed Klay to 40. Then Steph with a hot dog move to fire up a wild 3. Miss, scramble, Klay gets OREB, fires shot within 0.02 sec, slightly raising his avg trigger time after OREBs to 0.15 sec.
• High quality garbage time. Evans 2, Bell alley oop from Quinn.
• Jerebko 3! All the cult favorite plays showing up.
