He did everything well, though in the absence of other good bench performances, the Warriors could have done with him doing more. JTA was the closest thing the Warriors had to some energy and spark off the bench.
The bad for Kuminga: he looked a bit overmatched on defense, and had one foul every four minutes.Ģ0 minutes, 9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 fouls, 4-for-7 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, 1-for-2 free throws, -15 The good for Kuminga: he made all four of his free throws, despite entering the game just 22-for-39 from the charity stripe, and having not attempted a free throw since his rough 3-for-10 day three games back. No one was!ġ2 minutes, 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 turnover, 3 fouls, 0-for-3 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, 4-for-4 free throws, -13 The most egregious attempt was “GEL-ee-kuh”).Īnyway, despite those good things, he took more than a shot per point, and wasn’t able to give a spark from the bench. Nemanja Bjelicaġ4 minutes, 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 1 foul, 2-for-5 shooting, 0-for-2 threes, -10Īs is always the case with Bjeli, he did a lot of good things (side note: I initially consumed this game via Dallas’ radio ), and I’m fairly certain they did not pronounce Bjelica’s name the same way once all night. Post-game bonus: Led the team in rebounds and plus/minus. Thank goodness the Warriors didn’t lose this guy. A double-double, without missing a shot, all with that defense that just might earn him an All-Defense nod now that he’s getting regular minutes? You can choose between Wiggins and Payton for player of the game. Gary Payton IIĢ4 minutes, 11 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, 5-for-5 shooting, 1-for-1 threes, +7 Post-game bonus: Led the team in assists. I think it’s safe to say this is the worst two-game shooting stretch of his career.
Over the last two games he has a combined 23 points on 8-for-41 shooting, including 2-for-19 from three-point range. He’s making some great passes, though he had an awful turnover for every great pass in this contest.īut his scoring, the thing that will take him to the Hall of Fame as one of the 10 greatest players in NBA history, has currently abandoned him. His defense is some of the best it’s ever been, as is his rebounding. His presence wasn’t needed quite as much in this game as in some previous ones, since Dallas doesn’t have the biggest, most imposing, or even most talented center (all respect to Stanford legend Dwight Powell), but he still did his job and did it well.ģ6 minutes, 14 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, 5 turnovers, 2 fouls, 5-for-24 shooting, 1-for-9 threes, 3-for-4 free throws, 0 +/-Ĭurry is still doing a lot of good things. Kevon LooneyĢ1 minutes, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, 2 fouls, 3-for-6 shooting, +5 players not named “Andrew Wiggins” had a collective true-shooting percentage of 44.4%. That’s probably the only bright spot from this god forsaken game, so let’s return to our regularly-scheduled negativity. But Wiggins, their leading scorer, had a true-shooting percentage of 57.6%. More turnovers than assists, though, is rough.ģ3 minutes, 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 foul, 7-for-13 shooting, 2-for-5 threes, 1-for-4 free throws, -9Īs a team, the Dubs had a true-shooting percentage of just 46.6%. In a game where the Dubs offense was the worst it’s been all year, the only silver linings can be on the other end of the floor, and Green was still a good defender. He followed that formula in this game, just dialed down to about 40%. Draymond Greenģ2 minutes, 2 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 5 turnovers, 2 fouls, 1-for-4 shooting, 0-for-1 threes, -3ĭraymond is known for having about the same number of points, rebounds, and assists in his games, with about half as many steals and blocks. Let’s try and go quickly, even though you technically can’t trudge quickly.Īs always, grades are weighted based on our expectations for the players. This isn’t a fun article to write, nor is it a fun article for you to read, so let’s trudge through it together. Trying to grade papers for a Golden State Warriors team that simply chose not to show up to the American Airlines Center (perhaps a show of support for Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki, who had his jersey retired?), is one of the latter times. Sometimes my job is more fun than other times.
