https://youtu.be/9TrnnuiBMCk The more I watch Mychal Mulder, the more I become convinced that the inevitable conclusion: the Warriors don’t even miss Klay Thompson. Who would miss Klay Thompson when you have a guy who is literally named after Klay’s DAD, and who can hit just as many three-pointers as Klay, and has an absolutely immaculate…

Jordan Poole Career High 38 Points Full Highlights (5/14/2021)
https://youtu.be/Vf1_7BNzlGs As far as I could tell, at no point during this broadcast did either commentator remark that what was going on was a “Poole Party”. I would understand, or perhaps even expect, such blatant negligence from a two-bit operation like Bally Sports. But this is ESPN we’re talking about. The self-proclaimed leaders in sports…

https://youtu.be/hAPrXvLkzCs It’s getting a bit late in the season for me to start declaring which players on the Warriors roster are “Klay Thompson replacements”, but I’m going to do it anyway because I really don’t have another angle for this video description. Simply put, Mychal Mulder is the Klay Thompson replacement that the Warriors have…
Read MoreMychal Mulder Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (4/27/2021)
https://youtu.be/We2LgnLPpag This game was a blowout from start to finish. Everything after the six-minute mark was garbage time. The Mavericks held a 28-point lead near the beginning of the second quarter and at one point the Warriors went nine minutes without converting a bucket. Meanwhile, everybody at TNT headquarters was running around in a panic,…

https://youtu.be/CzktRRPe4vk Ever since Steph Curry emerged as one of the league’s best players (that emergence was a long time ago now, but I don’t like to think about it that way because it reminds me of the passage of time), the Warriors’ role-players have occupied a weird space in my mind. It’s almost like I…
Read MoreNico Mannion 19 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2021)
https://youtu.be/l8QbOQLt9B4 While most of us were fervently refreshing Twitter to keep up with the excitement of a busy trade deadline, my guess is that Nico Mannion was abstaining from all of that. As a young player on the type of team-friendly contract that most second round picks get, he’s just too easy to throw in…
Read MoreJordan Poole 26 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/20/2021)
https://youtu.be/cZ3Xi37YhMs Stephen Curry is apparently out with a tailbone injury (he is, quite literally, butthurt about it), and the Warriors don’t have another playable point guard on the roster, so I guess that means Jordan Poole gets to play for nearly forty minutes and be a primary ball handler? That’s what I’m gathering from creating…
Read MoreJordan Poole 25 Points Full Highlights (3/19/2021)
https://youtu.be/HfSarCFrXGY Man, Jordan Poole is really scoring the heck out of the ball right now. Stephen Curry? Never heard of him. Klay Thompson? Isn’t that Mychel Thompson’s crappy brother? All the Warriors need to win games is Poole pretending that he’s still balling in the G-League, and Draymond Green somehow having an impact while not…
Read MoreJordan Poole 26 Points Full Highlights (3/4/2021)
https://youtu.be/UA2AObV8Td8 At a certain point of last season, I want to say sometime in January, Jordan Poole was posting some of the rock-bottom worst shooting numbers that the league had ever seen. His eFG% was hovering around 35%, and only a few players in the three-point era had posted a worse eFG% in similar minutes…
Read MoreKent Bazemore 26 Points Full Highlights (2/17/2021)
https://youtu.be/xVAprZc_YOc Kent Bazemore started his NBA career on the Warriors, and now he’s back on the Warriors. As the Lion King helpfully teaches us, it’s the circle of life. Except, in this case, it’s more like the circle of scrub. Bazemore appeared in 61 games for the 2012-13 Warriors and averaged 2 PPG per game…
