Lakers Fans are nervous today!

I'm pretty sure I've said multiple times that the Warriors aren't winning the title this season. They're the bleeping 10th seed.

But Lakers Fans are still neurotic?

I'm pretty sure they didn't have Durant in 2022, either. Last I checked.

(Of course they're not as good as they were in 2022, but come on with the #wellactually stuff.)

The Warriors are 39-27 on the road in the playoffs in the Kerr era--39-28 if you count their loss in LA in the 2021 play-in.

Their 26-15 road record this season might be the last remnant of their old selves and they've got to lean on it tonight.

There will definitely be a market for Klay. I don't know what the price will turn out to be, but it'll be very solid.

Mentioned to
Tim Kawakami
today that this guy could be a sneaky first-round choice by the 49ers. Newton is very Javon Hargraves-like ...

every guy watching this just said “hell yeah”

Even without seeing exact structure, the DeVonta Smith deal should give a good gauge for what a Brandon Aiyuk contract will look like. And at roughly $25 million a year with $51 million guaranteed, it's about what you would expect.

Also, for the 'Niners can't afford to pay two…

New Giants manager talks with the former

Side note to unique note: Two years ago, Jordan Poole went 4-for-4 in final game to edge Curry (92.4% to 92.3). So this is the second time in three years a #Warriors teammate has beaten out Curry, the all-time FT percentage leader, on the season's final day.

Asked by Ron Kroichick if he's happy at least a teammate won it, Curry said: 'No, I hate losing. Absolutely not.' Pause and smile. 'But I guess I'm extremely proud of my teammate.'

Unique note: Klay Thompson just beat out Steph Curry for the league's free-throw % title after not qualifying for the race all season... until yesterday when he went 5-for-5 and got over the 125-makes qualifier.

Klay 92.7%
Curry 92.3%

Neither was aware of this until today.
