Ghosts of Warriors Past -- Wing Kong vs. Chang Sing (GSW @ UTA) 4/10/18 7:00 pm MST

I hope GSW plays hard and give it their all. ****ing defeatist garbage everywhere.
 
I don't think GSW cares much about this game at all. They will probably treat it as a scrimmage and give their guys 24 minutes of work. They won't care about playing us until there's an actual playoff matchup. They won't care much about chasing Toronto for wins, since Toronto can win their last game regardless and stay a game up. Plus, there's probably only a 30% chance that Toronto makes the Finals anyway.

There's just nothing to play for other than keeping a rhythm.
 
Warriors injury report from earlier today:

Warriors: C Damian Jones (L mid-foot sprain) is listed as probable. G Stephen Curry (L MCL sprain), G/F Andre Iguodala (L knee soreness) and G Pat McCaw (lumbar spine contusion) are listed as out.
 
Game Girl: Martha Hughes Cannon.

They called her “Mattie.” Born in 1857, she became the fourth wife of prominent Mormon stake president and patriarch Angus Cannon. But she was way more than a polygamous wife. She was a highly trained physician, a progressive reformer of public health initiatives, and a passionate suffragist. (That means she wanted women to be eligible to vote.) Many Mormon women at the time sought the vote in the face of some local and national criticism—even from other feminists at the time, who worried that polygamous wives would simply do the bidding of their husbands, effective doubling, tripling, quadrupling the Mormon male vote. Mattie wasn't some shrinking violet wife, though.

When Utah became a state in 1896 she decided to run for state senator as a Democrat—against her own Republican husband, Angus. She won the election and became the first female state senator in the United States. Utah's Governor Gary Herbert just signed a bill to send a statue of Mattie Cannon to the US Capitol, representing Utah once again.

That's hot, and I really mean that.
 
I'm playing hookie tonight. Rare opportunity to watch a Jazz game semi-live.
