I know this game was on KGW.

 

[Darkwebs]

We've got to win this one if we wanna clinch the 5th seed. This is a huge game.

Iggy isn't starting?

 

[maxiep]

I like to see Freeland is a game time decision.

 

[Darkwebs]

Iggy isn't starting?

Not according to the official Golden State Warriors game notes. But I think they are assuming Iggy won't play tonight. We'll see. If he's playing, I'm betting he'll start.

Fantastic news. Thanks!

 

[Darkwebs]

Fantastic news. Thanks!

It's gonna be interesting to see if any of Lee, Iguodala, and O'Neal play tonight, who all have mild/minor injuries. This will tell us how badly GS wants the 5th seed.

 

[blue9]

I saw Iggy last night. He seemed to be quick and mobile on his way to what I can only assume was Departure.

 

[noknobs]

Looks like Freeland is active tonight. Hope he plays.

 

[riverman]

Let's go lock up that 5th seed tonight! Stotts didn't sound like he thought Joel was a lock to play in the pregame interview, a big..maybe, we'll see.

 

[maxiep]

I just saw Freeland in uniform. Let's see how he looks. His six fouls will be helpful in the post season.

hack Howard hahaha

 

[riverman]

Joel has had two practices and only one full court practice so, maybe spot minutes tonight. He's active and wearing a brace

 

[maxiep]

Iggy is starting.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Warriors are playing on their banged up guys. They want this game. We need to come to play. So far we are trying to skate by.
