On a non-presser day. Oh well, just underlines that they've been aiming Purdy for this game for a while now -- no matter what they've said.
Kinda odd for Shanahan to be so careful about this, say he wants to see three hard practices, and then announce it after one practice
Quarterback Brock Purdy will return to the starting lineup Sunday vs. the Cardinals, Kyle Shanahan just said during the taping of 49ers Game Plan.

Kuminga definitely needs to get the Jimmy Butler Jump Stop into his game. I'm not sure if he will, though.
As mentioned on your podcast, Kuminga has no second move. That’s a problem for a guy who can’t shoot.
November 13, 2025 at 2:46 PM
-As always, their best lineups have Draymond at center, just like last season's 23-8 finish.

-If Kuminga can't get going again soon -- paired with either Curry or Butler -- he's going to get his minutes dialed way back. Just the way it works. Like what happened last season.
-Moody's obviously gotta stay in the starting lineup

-Podziemski is still a big part of the rotation -- 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, +8 in 28 tough bench minutes tonight

-Just give Curry a chance. In a game, in a series, in a season. That is still so true.
I will be VERY curious what the veterans say after this game.

Another thing we said on the pod last night:

Every NBA season emergency can be calmed down with one big win.

GP2 +12 ... huuuuge minutes

I criticized him last night. Praise when good, non-praise when non-good. He's been very good -- figuring out how to take advantage of the Spurs not guarding him.

Warriors' best all-around game in weeks. Win or lose at this point.
November 13, 2025 at 3:06 AM
We talked on the podcast last night that it's always on Curry, Draymond on Butler if they're healthy and playing.

Man, those guys have shown up tonight so far -- on the back end of a road BTB.

43-28 GSW third quarter.

Their best quarter of the season so far, I'd say.
November 13, 2025 at 2:55 AM
As Draymond and Wemby sit:

Draymond is +15
Wemby is -6
25-17 GSW start to the third quarter ...

That's after scoring 14 in the first quarter then 35 in the second

Warriors say Jonathan Kuminga (knee soreness) will not return to tonight’s game.
November 13, 2025 at 2:26 AM
At half, the Warriors are:

9 for 29 from 3-point
7 for 11 from 2-point

I know they don't feel comfortable shooting inside the arc against Wemby and I guess Kornet, too, but they've gotta do it.
That Butler jumper was only the Warriors' second 2-pointer of the game. First one was on the Curry left-handed drive and layup last quarter.

Currently 2 for 5 from 2-point
They're 5 for 21 from 3-point
November 13, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Warriors finish the half on a 9-0 run to make this a ballgame.

Draymond's defense has been the real deal.
November 13, 2025 at 2:07 AM
Spurs were +2 in that no-Wemby stint

Recipe for a blowout
GSWs are going to need to win these Wemby out/Curry in minutes.

So far they're +3
November 13, 2025 at 1:59 AM
Kuminga 0 points in 8 minutes, -15
Kuminga said he wants Kerr to coach him hard. This would be the time -- last four or five games, too.

But getting pulled from the starting lineup is part of it, clearly.

Warriors' defense was lousy last night in OKC but was pretty solid in tonight's first quarter.

The offense, though, was totally stalled with those 3s not falling and nothing at all happening inside.

They're not very good at 2s and vs. Wemby that turns to non-existent.
This is pretty wild.

In the first quarter, the Warriors took 18 3-pointers and just 4 2-pointers
