It's time for a mega-thread of Kevon Looney's statue-building 4/20/9 performance against the Kings to deliver the win on...4/20. Let's dive into it. First and foremost is the rebounding. He needed to do it all by himself for GSW to get a rebounding edge, and did just that. Watch how he gets positioned and coiled with Sabonis boxing him out, preparing to spring for the board at the exact right moment.

Let's talk about James Wiseman's 30-point performance against Brooklyn. The third-year center posted a career-high 30 points, showing off a lot of his strengths alongside his weaknesses. Time to take a closer look at the tape: Wiseman is assertive about wanting the ball in the post, and it's even more of a weapon against a small-ball team like Brooklyn. When almost every player defending you is a physical mismatch, get position and make decisive moves to the basket.

Every Warriors fan knows how Steph gets mauled shooting on a nightly basis, but last nights game against Portland was egregious. I watched every jump shot from both teams from last night to point out how ridiculously ignorant referees are of how Steph is defended. Threaded below. First possession of the game, Steph uses the Kevon Looney screen to get freed at the break. Dennis Smith Jr. is able to mostly wiggle around it but catches Steph on the wrist. You can see him pull his arm back, the classic sign of guilt. No call.

Gonna thread some Emoni Bates clips here in anticipation of more #words

Wanted to qualify all of this by saying this entire Memphis offense is a mess, so starting with a clip that shows some of that. No movement, cutters, screens, everyone staring at the ball. Emoni is pretty good at using his height on defense when in the lane. Denies any lane for a good shot or entry pass and forces the player into a tough hook shot off the glass

Posting some Franz clips that stood out against the Dubs because he rocks and everyone should know about him.

Using the WCJ screen, Franz gets leverage on Wiggins and puts him in hip jail. That allows him to wait for WCJ to recover and seal off the paint, then he goes up for two Great way to manipulate Jordan Poole's tag from the far side. When Franz drives, Wendell Carter dives, and that forces the tag on WCJ from Poole so that Draymond isn't 1v2 in the paint. Franz reads it all the way, firing the ball to the far corner for the open three

Throwing out some clips from the Dubs' blowout against the Orlando Magic last night, as we got a big dose of the whole roster.

With Kevon coming to screen Cole Anthony's left, Mo Bamba follows him, and Steph spins in the opposite direction to get the open three. Nasty stuff Jordan Poole's start/stop ability is just incredible. With Gary Harris not anticipating the Draymond screen, there's no chance for Orlando to stop this bucket

Now, time to recap Jon Kuminga's game against Charlotte last night.

He's brought in as a defender with 9 seconds in the 1st but stays in beginning the 2nd. The Dubs have done a great job rotating from the weakside to deny entry passes. Great job to break it up without fouling I've said Kuminga ghosts screens too often, and he's rewarded when using his body. Sets a great screen on the fake handoff before diving into open space, and Iggy finds him. Rozier gets a strip on the way up, but the ball finds Steph, and then Jon. Waits out Plumlee for the layup

Another Kuminga thread? Why not?

Kerr put him in for another early stint against the Bulls, again due to a lack of hustle and defensive energy. He's immediately put on DeRozan, who baits with the up-fake and gets him airborne for the foul. He's not the first victim or the last I love his fight against Alize Johnson on the boards. Denies him the position on the baseline, and pushes him back out towards the free throw line. Gets a hand on the ball to tip it back and finish the defensive possession

Jonathan Kuminga earned 3 rotation stints over the past 4 games, the first coming against Atlanta. Kerr injects him for energy and defense in a sluggish first. I'll thread the first game below.

Watch him track and affect this shot up the floor. The closing speed is incredible A play I showed in my Steph vs. Atlanta thread, where Kuminga recognizes Collins has lost him and continues his momentum towards the hoop. Steph finds him with the entry pass and Reddish has no choice but to foul him

Steph Curry obliterated the Chicago Bulls in the 3rd quarter, flipping this game to the W column with 23 total points created. How did he do it?

Unsurprisingly, lots of split action. Wiggins rolls and Steph flares, with a Looney screen as a wrinkle to create an open look. Curry is an exceptional rebounding guard, boxing out Javonte Green on the weakside and hustling to finish the play.

Takes Green off the dribble on the other end, using a slick stop-start move to create the separation he needs. Beautiful and-1, even with the right hand
