6 pts and 3 rebounds are you kidding me, I'm sure we can get that from Grimes or Mcbride.

He has been very solid on defense, but no better than ELF

No. This guy has been awesome. Youre just looking at his stats. We DO NOT have a player like this--a GLUE guy a guy who promotes WINNING basketball. A guy who does what you need--little things. Right now today hes a top 5 defensive player even at his smaller minutes. And hes been good on offense--doing what they need. Remember GS has many of the same players it had last year---hes been a huge difference. Go look at his +-

I think having Curry back healthy from day 1 is partly what has turned them around.

But you are right, there are lesser guys out there that help franchises win.

Maybe Grimes and Mcbride are those guys for us. I'm definitely soured on Kemba and Fournier. 2 random guys off the street outside MSG would probably contribute more- if only it forced Thibs to look elsewhere!

I think we had some value glue guys last year which helped chemistry. Noel was a value glue guy but now is an injured 13mm $ player. Not enough dogs on this team

We are definitely missing a glue guy/s, Randle sometimes tries to play this role when he decides to not shoot, move the ball and play defense, the difference is he is struggling to know when to be that glue guy and when to be that alpha dog. LBJ is a master at knowing when to do both... we have seen Randle dish out a double digit assist on more than a few times

The 2nd unit plays with each other and for each other and they know their roles

Don’t we have enough backup PGs?

What we need is a Derek Harper/Chaucey Billuos type player.

Derek would be great in our starting lineup. I wonder if he’d consider it.

Im nearly positive if The MItten was here the chemistry would be like GSW and we’d be killing it instead.
Who knew Getting Vax’d would give Wiggins a boost like this?
I wonder if Draymond being like really healthy this year makes any difference?
Maybe the coaches are running some differrent things from last year?
Maybe the aggregate it all, including payton adding up? It does.
Its not a video game where you plug and play players.

1248 super stats look…..then tilts to Grimes…….Rainman got grimes on the brain!!

Will there be an updated list after the 34th game and every 17th game there after?

Will the performances in the playoffs count?

Gary Payton defense & Poole high scoring & rookie Kuminga 2-Way hustle .. Curry has a first-class ticket to the WCF in 2021-22 season !!!

Briggs usually give us update after every single game

Updates? No reactionary suggestions for change.

In that case, EF was the best signing I can see! And Christian Wood the worst[. Is it to early to say that Denzel Valentine was a terrible draft pick? :D]

You sure you’re not confusing him with Ron Artest 2.0 Elfrid Payton?
