Stolen summary:
Some takeaways while watching:
* 4 starting sports are a lock: Wiggins & Oubre to start next to Steph & Dray. Will see with the center spot after training camp
* Him and the team will keep checking on Klay to be part of the group & involved
* Idea is to keep Steph's minutes where they've been. Will leave him in with 3 overtimes to that he reaches 51 minutes and can take as many shots as possible. Realistically, he will play around the 34-36 minutes per game range
* Jordan Poole is a combo cuard. Fits the way the Warriors like to play. Had a great offseason and has been day in day out with the coaching staff working on his game. Earned some good fortune and hopes his offseason work translates into a great season
* He feels they still have the elements to be a great team. He likes the concept of what they have with their length & size
* Want to be a top10 defensive team. Training camp will be centered around defense. The identity of the team has to be centered around defense, the offense will follow
* Talked to Kelly's former coaches and only heard positive feedback, which he states is always a good sign. He likes his energy and defensive hustle and onball play and how he fits into the team
* Feels Steph & Dray will both have a great season; they're ready to compete and had a lot of time to prepare (talks frequently to them)
* Team wants to bounce back from last year and have a great season
* Bread & butter is the Steph & Dray pick and roll, but also important to get Wiseman as much playtime with Steph & Dray as possible
* Dray will anchor the defense and same like Looney, when he was younger, Wiseman has to catch up on the defensive rotations and where he has to be. Looney will have that defensive edge early on but he feels Wiseman is so athletic, that he can make up for some of the mistakes he will make early on (generally impressed by Wiseman's potential it seems); still has a lot to learn though and is excited to coach him
* Poole & Chriss can absolutely fill certain roles; really likes the depth/setup of the team
* Doesn't feel like he has to keep either Steph or Dray on the court at all times. They're a great dynamic duo and therefor he will try to give them as much playtime together as possible
* Loves everything Steph does outside of the court and appreciates his awareness, that he still knows what triggered these other opportunities coming up for him: basketball
* Steph is in the gym every single day and works so hard

With Klay out I think Baze being back is important cause it gives Steph someone to lean on who he's already played with besides Draymond. That chemistry will be necessary with such a short training camp and so many young players on the team. He's our Andre this season.

Anyone think the warriors will be able to play in SF? The 49ers got booted and I don't think the Warriors will be able to play with the restrictions.

San Francisco doesn't have the same restrictions as Santa Clara County. I dont see SF going that route

Y'all do this "the west is loaded" shyt every fukking year and every year see teams with less talent vastly overachieve and teams with "so much talent" underachieve.

The Clippers were the best team in the league last year until they asses got exposed by the Nuggets right? That same Nuggets team lost to a depleted Warriors team late last season.

The Jazz were supposed to be title favorites last year according to every media outlet cause they added Mike Conley and were so deep? What happened? They got they asses 3-1'd by the Nuggets.

Houston had 2 MVP's and ended up with the same record as a team with a "washed CP3", a Center who can't shoot, a second year PG, Gallo, and Lou fukking Dort.

All these teams have hella holes and ain't none of them, except the Lakers, vastly better than the Warriors. Give me a fukking break bro.
