LJ Cryer lost a bet and is wearing a Steve Kerr Arizona jersey during Warriors practice today @nbcswarriors.bsky.social
Sometimes I read something by @willbunch.bsky.social and find myself finishing it and shouting, "AMEN!" This is one of those times.
Though Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, out since Jan. 30 with 'runner's knee,' is progressing to on-court workouts, he will miss Friday's game vs Minnesota and the following 6 game-road trip. Team hopes he's back for final 2 weeks of the regular season.
Baaaamm. Whooooa Baaaamm.

Gui Santos followed the blueprint and has become the ultimate development example for the Warriors, @montepoole.bsky.social writes
Periodic reminder—
Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates—
💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion
💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million
💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million
💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million
The Warriors took 44 shots in the 1st half, 26 of which were 3-pointers, and walked into the locker room trailing the Thunder by 13, 67-54.
They wised up in the 3rd quarter, taking 23 shots in the 3rd quarter - but only six from deep. Won the quarter by 10, 29-19.
Got back in the game.
This can't be Warriors' game plan:
Despite OKC missing big men Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, Golden State jacked up 17 3-pointers in the first quarter. 5 went in, 29.4 percent.
Inside the arc, where logic dictates they go, they're 6 of 10
Kristaps Porzingis was been upgraded. He's now available for Warriors at Thunder tonight
Previously listed by Warriors as 'questionable,' Seth Curry (sciatic nerve irritation) and De'Anthony Melton (L knee injury management) have been downgraded to 'out' Saturday OKC.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) still listed as 'questionable.'
Draft dodger, criminal, rapist Donald Trump, folks.
The battered and bruised Warriors battled for an overtime win tonight, one that could inspire the team going forward (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Steve Kerr shared with @957thegame.bsky.social why he initially got off social media entirely, and hasn't looked back since
The only way for the Warriors to salvage the Kristaps Porziņģis trade is to ace their offseason and create a path to recovery next season (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Might surprise some of you: With Steph Curry on the bench in street clothes Monday night, the Warriors lost their grip on a victory during . . . the non-Draymond minutes

Unavailable Warriors tonight vs Clippers:
-Jimmy Butler (R ACL surgery)
-LJ Cryer (two-way)
-Seth Curry (L sciatic nerve)
-Stephen Curry (R knee)
-Gary Payton II (L ankle)
-Kristaps Porzingis (lingering illness)
-Will Richard (R ankle)
The Dubs would like to forget this one.
@montepoole.bsky.social delivers the takeaways from the Warriors' blowout loss to the Lakers ⬇️
Asked about the state of his ailing right knee, Stephen Curry tells ABC 'it's gonna be a little longer.'
Which suggests the Warriors, who will issue an update on Sunday, will be without Curry for a few more games beyond Monday vs. Clippers
Best regular-season NBA game I've ever seen in person. From tipoff to halftime to final buzzer, had all the elements of great theater - including a mind-blowing conclusion.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) returned to practice today after missing last 3 games, per Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Listed as questionable for Saturday vs Lakers
Each time De'Anthony Melton steps on the court is an opportunity to raise his value, and it’s pointing toward the sky (via @montepoole.bsky.social)
Warriors post improbable win, a 128-117 stunning of the Nuggets.
Brandin Podziemski takes a lot of hits, some deserved, but he was the catalyst. Put the game away in the 4th quarter, scoring 15 of his 18 points and grabbing 8 of his 15 rebounds.
He and Al Horford carried big weight
Kristaps Porzingis is now OUT today against the Nuggets with an illness @nbcswarriors.bsky.social
Now THAT's a headline.

Strange times for Draymond Green. Expendable but still here. Turns 36 next month. Jimmy out for season. Steph out indefinitely. Hopes dashed. Warriors have lost 8 of 12. Does the team's firebrand have enough to lift himself and the diminished roster?

“Obviously, I’d love to be playing right now.”
Steph Curry spoke to @daltonjohnson.bsky.social and provided an update on his knee injury as well as his goal for recovery
Colbert and Kimmel have met the moment under our slide into fascism in a way that institutions, press, and the Democratic Party haven’t
On tonight’s show, Colbert made it crystal clear that every word of this CBS statement is a lie. In fighting back like this, Colbert continues to show more bravery than nearly every Republican in Congress as well as most of corporate America, higher ed & big media.
