.@MontePooleNBCS on Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody:
"I keep hearing that [Jimmy and Moses] are, the whispers are that they're ahead of schedule, that they both could be back before February. Everybody's talking about the All-Star break and now I'm hearing that 'No, they're coming along really nicely.' Nobody's saying that out loud, but the whispers are that they look really good . . . When you talk to 4 or 5 different people and they all say the same thing 'Man those guys are, they're looking really good,' that suggests to me that they could be back earlier. 1 person did say 'Yeah, I'd be surprised if they're not ready before February' and that means both of them."
Jimmy Butler wants to play a G League game as he rehabs from ACL tear:
“I’m going down to Santa Cruz to hoop. It may not be for long, but I’m going to play in Santa Cruz. I’m playing in a f—ing game… I’m definitely coming down there to play. So good luck to everybody. Y’all ain’t gonna get too many minutes out of me, but I’m definitely going down there. I want to hoop.”
On whether he cleared it with Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr.:
“I don’t got to clear s— with nobody. I’m going. Me and Mike will fistfight. He’s gonna be like, ‘Jimmy, no.’ I’m gonna be like, ‘Mike, yes. I’m going to G League, baby!’ Y’all know where to find me. Santa Cruz, baby.”

With Steph out for probably a month , the Ws have to stay over .500 for the big picture playoff race.
Which basically means Yaxel and Podz have to both grow up fully at this point. And the front office needs to line a trade up for December 15th for KP. Can’t afford to wait
Warriors just need to stay alive until reinforcements come back.
My goal before the season was to be around .500 when Jimmy returns.
The 8-3 start gives them some breathing room to take some Ls while Steph gets healthy.
Just be alive and healthy by march/april
Every time someone says x player is dirty, ppl use draymond as the counter.
Does he play dirty at times? Yes. But Dray has never injured a player in his career.
robbed of a Steph and Wemby matchup because the bitch ass rockets can’t play basketball without trying to hurt anyone, bitch ass team with bitch made players
