Apparently DLo sprained his ankle in yesterdays game, so that makes the Warriors injured list as "The Starting 5": Steph (broken hand - 3 months), Klay (torn ACL - 8 month/1 season), Looney (? ? - ? ?), Draymond (Sprained Finger - 2-3 games), DLo (Sprained Ankle - game to game)

So that makes tonights starting 5 as.... ?, ??, , ?, and Willy Cauley Stein?

On the plus side, tickets to tour the Chase Center stadium during the Warriors game is only $45 dollars, and I believe they even throw in a game viewing seat to go with the tour entrance tickets

I haven't tuned into Supergirl in a season or two, but good lord does this look terrible...

Did they time travel back to late 90's afterschool programming budgets and acting!?

I really hope Crisis got the Budget Boost and these two episodes above are just a victim of resource pooling for the greater good.

Warriors aren't tanking, but Draymond is now also injured and seems likely to miss time.
(Seriously: I know we are really early on still, but just write off this season and view it as development/investment in the future already!)

damn, what happened to Draymond!?
Injury Bug got it's last victim.... hopefully it decides to hibernate again, it's gotten all our remaining starters from the previous season. We are done.... we have now paid our dues.

I was out with some friends and the game wasn't on TV, so I was following the score.
Did Dray get hurt early in the 3rd? that seems to be when the Dubs started falling behind.

I should clarify the reports I was reading were pre CAT Scan, and said surgery would be around 8 weeks.
No surgery would be around 6.

But if Curry has an excuse to sit out till close to ASB, then let the tank commence!! let the Dray & Dlo show begin!!!  Top 3 draft pick here we come. Lol

On the upside for the Warriors, maybe getting all the injuries out at one time is a good thing. Just get it all over with, you know?

Take the high draft pick (their pick this year is protected if in the top 20 and they could use some cheap talent), see what you've got with the younger players getting some experience, wait for the vets to all get healthy, and target next year as your return.  It's a short-term bummer... but think about how things fell into place with Steph's bad ankles early on.

reading up on the report, Curry is only expected to miss about 6-8 weeks at most.
I was ready to write him off for the season, but it's not that serious and on his non-shooting hand.

I was almost ready to see this become the Dray & D-Lo show, and find out who the real supporting cast is. DLo gets to up his trade value, or prove himself too valuable to trade..... Dray get to be a leader on the team and teach these youngins a thing or two about teamwork and defense. Meanwhile we miss the playoffs by a lot, increase our chances in the Lottery and score a talent or two or three that takes us back up on a competitive level for the following year when we are fully staffed.

But, it's likely that Steph comes back in time to for the Xmas game.
It's also possible Klay comes back just in time for a late 8th seed push (assuming we have anywhere near enough wins to even bother trying), or maybe he sits and watches the tank as we trade DLo for expiring contracts and some picks. and ride it out for next year instead.

That Rockets Wiz game was all regulation too.....
did anyone play defense? Or was it all hurry up offense?
That score is just ridiculous. I didn't get to watch it, but I saw the score last night right after it ended and was like O_o!!!!


Also congrats to the Nationals.
The Game 5 crowd deserved the win. Along with the random fan interviewed at the series was won!!!

In the last 6 games of actual NBA Basketball.... the Warriors have lost KD, Klay and Curry.

RIP Oracle Warriors.
A new era of <unintelligble> Warriors begins now at the Chase Center.

::hat held to chest, head down, horns start playing::

p.s. I kept warning about that Injury Bug from last season.... this is some final destination ****, and that Injury Bug was not to be denied. Dray better watch his back.

I heard all existing HBO accounts get auto transferred, since it's the same price for added value.
So if you have HBO through cable, you have HBO Max online.

So apparently Greg Berlanti isn't done expanding the DCTVU

He's bringing Superman & Lois to The CW
and now a Green Lantern show to HBO Max

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/green-lantern-tv-series-pair-greg-berlanti-dc-dramas-set-at-hbo-max-1250950

this is on top of all the arrowverse shows, Black Lightning, the shows on DCU (Titans, Doom Patrol), the cancelled Krypton and probably everything else attached to the Crisis Crossover I haven't remembered.....

and there are supposedly even more shows coming from him in the near future: Titans spinoffs and other shows on DCU, more arrowverse spinoffs on The CW and new shows on HBO Max as well.
according to the article, 21 shows currently in production right now.... some kind of record, with more to come!!

Dray has to be LIVID as he is the defensive glue, but I have a feeling DPOY Dray and UMVP Curry may not be making an appearance this year.

Dray is a great defender, as he can be all over the place, as he knows his teammates are covering the gaps and switching assignments on the fly. He now has to spent time making sure some guys are folling their assignments and watching their zones and not just following the ball while all the off-ball action happens behind them. This zone defense the Dubs been running has got to stop, but I don't think all these newbies can play switch defense that prior Dubs have had nearly perfected. Nothing they are doing from yesteryears is working as this group (outside of the Core 3) don't have a clue as to what to do or how to do it.

Curry will absolutely need to become the dominant ball handler in all live ball situations, D-Lo will have to adjust. They aren't running pick n roll situations right as they mostly just stick to Curry as he has no one to pass it to. No one besides Curry and D-Lo can consistently score to save their life. If any of them could just put up a decent number of successful attempts to make ignore them a costly move, Curry might be able to get open for a split second instead of exhausting himself trying to get open while lesser players take and miss wide open shots from all over the court.

On the plus side, ticket prices will probably come back down to reasonable levels for decent seats in the new year. At least one can hope. LOL

Sure, it's early and this is only one game. I try to never read too much into early season results because the teams we see playing now aren't really up to speed yet.

That's what us Warrior fans will say for now....

this **** is hard to watch. Everyone is SOOOOOOO out of Sync. There is absolutely no chemistry, and if the Warriors make the Playoffs at all.... it's obviously gonna be on the back on UMVP Curry.

I seriously don't know who 75% of the people on the team are, and they all seem like TRASH right now. can we please un-retire Livingston (did I just say that!?) and trade someone to the Grizz to get Iguodala back!? pleeeeez!!! The team looks soooo lost on defense and offense right now.
it's really hard to watch.

It would be one thing if they were just getting out played by the opponent, but this group plays like they just met each other as they were tipping off the ball.
OKC almost has as many points in the first half as they had for an entire game their previous 2 games. defense as a unit is just non-existent, and offense has been laughably bad.

At this rate, we gonna have to beg D-Lo to stay, not have him worry if he's gonna get traded before the deadline. LMAO

edit: I swear if I see one more Warrior game where the ball goes up on offense and EVERYONE in a Warrior jersey immediately turns their back to the basket and head to the other side of the court, only to have the ball either bounce to exactly where they were just standing, or bounce to right next to they were at in the moment of retreat, but no attempt made on the ball, because they weren't even looking to get a rebound, I'm going to fucking SCREAM at Kerr, Dray and everyone else that should be defensive minded on the damn team.

and now D-Lo gets himself ejected just to not be part of this **** show anymore.... smfh

Did the Lakers play tonight?

I got sent a vid on IG  of Lebron losing his "hair piece" live on TV during the game.
AD clued him in, then Bron attempts to fix it.

Did anyone else see that?

Basically his hair weave slipped off during the game.
Dude just needs to let the hair go, or transplant from his beard. That's seems to grow in extra thick. Lol

I honestly wish I could recall at this point.... (just got home from a Halloween party)

It's been seasons since I've watched Arrow, The Flash or the time traveling show
I missed almost all of the previous season of Supergirl, haven't seen the start of Batwoman, and the only show I currently watch attached to any of this is Black Lightning..... which I am 2.5 eps behind on at the moment.

I haven't even finished the last season of Lucifer on Netflix, I've really fallen behind and don't think I'd remember exactly what was going on where I Left off on most of those without starting to watch the shows again tbh.

Maleficent - It was worth the wait to see Angelia ham it up again. I enjoyed only for that.

I watched this last night (Maleficent). I thought it was alright. the kids LOVED it, even though my daughter may have worried me a little bit with her blood lust for revenge on the queen but I had to explain to her that sometimes, some things are worse than death, and the Queens fate was to suffer and watch everything she didn't want to happen and convinced everyone else that could and would never happen..... happen. And she had not the power to say or do anything about it.
Overall there were lots of tense moments, and plenty of action. Angelina was beautiful even as a Demon Bird Like creature with horns and sharp cheeks. It was overall an enjoyable movie that the entire theater actually clapped for at the end.


Also watched Addams Family (the new animated one) a few weeks ago.... :/
It tries so hard to be the animated version of the last live action version (the 1991 cast was great) with so many jokes that went over the kids heads, but didn't actually land with the adults, that it was a little too try hard for my taste. The kids seemed to like it (I took my daughter and 2 of her friends to go watch), yet no one hardly made a sound during the movie. Almost no interaction during the movie, and barely a chuckle from the girls, and the theater as a whole. (they were very into Maleficent BTW, laughing, gasping, making comments and whispering to each other things I couldn't hear during the movie.... ). Oh and I really didn't like the art direction.

my recommendation... kids might enjoy it, but just stay home and watch Addams Family 1991 and Addams Family Values. Oh and then put on Hocus Pocus. much better and more memorable experiences for the whole family in my opinion.
