I watched a lot of Knickerbockers games in the early 70s. During school break I would be writing down their starting 5 pitted against the Eastern powers then. I got a kick out of the free throw style of Dick Barnett, had to bend on knee a bit then shoot, And Walt Frazier's behind the back dribble, a pioneer of that style of dribbling.
I heard a really interesting explanation for their season from an ex-player yesterday. He said that that championship last year was unbelievably emotional because they really needed to prove they could win without KD and Klay coming back from injury. It was such a team effort, everyone on the same page. He said he can't imagine the team being able to that emotion again so soon.
A lot depends on what happens in the off season. They have assets but they've been devalued this year. I can imagine them signing a big free agent or making a big trade, so who knows what happens. I think they may trade Poole because they've become frustrated with him. Draymond will re-sign for 2 years at a fair amount because it hurts his brand to go somewhere else. But they need one or two more players for sure.
that is definitely a factor but the kid can shoot from anywhere. He and Steph always compete as to who can make the most and longest three's
Yes but Booker scored 44 points to seal the win. Looking ahead with a healthy Booker and KD, I think the rest of the league's top contenders will be looking over their shoulders
The game has changed to such points that players get injured in warm ups. Warriors Kuminga had a sprained ankle in warm up a couple of nights ago as well. Can't remember that happening in the past few decades of the NBA.
