Bulls beat Grizzlies, which really helps Nuggets, so...
Nikola Jokic is out vs. Warriors tonight. This game went from Nuggets -3.5 to Warriors -3.5 as a result. The Warriors might want to try winning this game to stay ahead of the Lakers in the loss column, as they are playing at Houston tonight.
Road warriors strike again, losing to Jokic-less Denver.
That said I don’t feel as horribly about this loss as some others. Some nights the shots don’t go in and the warriors went 5 for their last 34 3 pointers including a wide open Klay 3 for the win. Steph was 2/14 from beyond the arc and no one else had a hot night to fill in the gap. Looney and hustle kept them in it by winning the rebounding battle.
Would have liked to see more attacking the paint when the shots werent falling, which really only Poole and DDV (and to a lesser extent Steph) did tonight going a combined 14/18 from two.
This is also why Poole, even though he drives you crazy with mistakes and defense, is so necessary for this team. When the shotS aren’t falling, he is the only guy other then Steph who can reliably get to the rim and the free throw line. Hopefully with time Kuminga will join that list.
