Anthony Slater: Here’s Steve Kerr on Chris Paul coming off the bench tonight. Sounds like part of it is getting Paul in a pick-and-roll heavy lineup. “I told him we need him to be himself. He’s trying to fit in. Sometimes we need him to go take four mid-range jumpers in a row.”

Gary Payton II walked down the tunnel and was hobbling before Steve Kerr’s timeout. Didn’t seem to be limping and was talking to Drew Yoder during the timeout – 10:46 PM

Chris Paul hasn’t been on the bike, but he hasn’t been on the bench either. Seems like he wants to stay on his feet in a reserve role – 10:17 PM

From Canada to Huntington Prep, Kansas, Minnesota and now San Francisco, Andrew Wiggins’ spin move has been his signature move.

The Warriors have given Jonathan Kuminga the leeway to crash for offensive rebounds any time he wants.
Steve Kerr: “We want him to go every time.”
Kuminga: “The only other person who had that freedom was Wiggs. I’m kind of enjoying it.” theathletic.com/4967439/2023/1… – 12:52 PM
