Game Thread | Game #47 | Warriors @ Cavs | Jan. 20, 2023

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
What has JBB done to allow him to dis the players effort/ respect by the players
while personally admitting no shortcomings of his own.
 
This was a game Allen should have dominated, but he scored just eight points and wasn't much of a factor. He only played 31 minutes.

Their bench was 10-for-18 on 3's, and that was with four bench players starting. Tonight's bench was actually their third team, but they had no trouble scoring.

The W's average 16 made 3's per game, and that's with Curry and Thompson. Tonight they made 23 - 7 more than their average, which is 21 points. They won by 6. I'm not sure how much was bad defense and how much was just really hot shooting by rested players with nothing to lose.

It was BAD DEFENSE AND LACK OF EFFORT!
And Allen can’t dominate when his number is only called three times the entire evening. Did I miss it? Did he get ONE lob for a dunk?
 
My stepson told me tonight at dinner before the game that his buddy put down $1000 on the Cavs to win. Payout was.only $200, but the guy considered it a sure thing.

Ouch.
I put down 25 bucks on them and I'm absolutely fuming, wanted to more, but seen enough of this team without Mitchell that I couldn't in good conscience put down more. I hate being right.

He got one lob and fucken missed trying to do an over the back throw down.
 
What’s more sad? The fact that this happened tonight or the fact that nobody on this forum is surprised?

I think this was one of Allen's worst games of the season. He seemed slow and weak and showed bad hands. He just seems to struggle with small, aggressive, bigs. I'm still not sold on him as a core piece of this team going forward.

In horse betting we call that 'a bridge jumper'.

Minimum payout is 1:20 so $100 gets you $5. You bet a huge favorite to show (finish top 3) and pour in you whole bankroll. In college we went to the track for one of my roommate's birthdays. There was this huge favorite (like 1 to 5) and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th favorites were all scratched, 5 horse field. I recognized all the bridge jumper opportunity and dumped in $400 to win $20. It took me 16 sessions of selling my plasma to make $400. My jockey fell off the horse coming out of the starting gate, money down the drain immediately. I almost vomited up the cheap whiskey we'd smuggled in.
 
Damn missed this one but how the fuck did we manage to lose against the warriors G league affiliate?
 
I
If we took Poole & the Warriors took Windler

Ugh

Unfortunately warriors have the best scouting department in the league and we have the worst
