No minutes restriction for Chris Paul tonight, but sounds like 24 is the high end. Here is Kerr on his return. pic.twitter.com/GNbe3PQWcj6:16 PM

Warriors on Jordan Poole’s struggles w/Wizards:
Wiggins: ‘I have no doubt that he’s gonna figure it out.’
Looney: ‘He’s an emotional guy. I know it’s really eating at him.’
Kerr: ‘I’m pulling for Jordan to get back to the player he was a couple years ago.’ nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-sta…6:11 PM

With Andrew Wiggins (personal family matter) out tonight at Wizards, Moses Moody is the starting lineup for Warriors. His fifth start of season.
Steve Kerr had other options (Klay Thompson?) but tends to make moves that reduce rotation disruption – 5:48 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Moses Moody will start in Andrew Wiggins’ place tonight. Chris Paul will take the Lester Quinones minutes (plus some). Here is Steve Kerr on the Wiggins absence and rotational dominos. pic.twitter.com/Ejcz9DgGJG5:45 PM

Chris Paul won’t be under any minutes restriction tonight, Kerr says. Could play half of the game.
He will play the minutes Lester Quiñones has been occupying, playing all of the non-Steph minutes. Also will spend some time on the court with Curry. – 5:42 PM

During the Dallas Maverick’s Western Conference Finals Run in 2021-22, they allowed 45.1 rebounds per game while grabbing 36.5 rebounds per game. They lost in 5 games to the eventual champion Warriors.
This season OKC is averaging 41.5 rebounds per game, allowing 45.1 boards. – 4:55 PM

Scoring jumps since becoming a Hornet:
Williams — 8.1 ➡ 15.0 PPG
Mann — 3.8 ➡ 11.7 PPG
Curry — 4.3 ➡ 9.2 PPG
Micic — 3.3 ➡ 9.7 PPG

I’ve seen a lot of people complain about OKC’s logo/uniforms since the Clippers rebrand. I wanna propose a trade:
The Thunder trade the rights to their least favorable 2024 first-round pick to the Warriors for the rights to their mid-2000s logo/uni. THIS is a Thunder aesthetic: pic.twitter.com/MBCVg6uuc12:58 PM

Klay Thompson, to @TheAthletic, on why these recent Larry Bird comments meant so much…
“I’ll put that (compliment) in the same category as when Kobe called me and Steph great players with that killer instinct (in 2016). It means the world to me.”

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Asked Aaron Wiggins about start times: “Coming into the league a lot of guys find a routine consistently…Late Game tonight, so longer nap for me.“ he explained this will likely be easier to stick to the routine vs earlier tips. – 1:05 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.”
