Warriors Notes: Atkinson, DiVincenzo, Kuminga, Iguodala (hoopsrumors.com)

A round-up of Warriors-related notes on Kenny Atkinson, Donte DiVincenzo, and more.

Kerr said after the game that it’s difficult to play more than 10 players a night, but he believes that “Jonathan’s time will come” and that the young forward is continuing to develop and grow even without consistent playing time ( [Twitter video link](https://twitter.com/anthonyVslater/status/1585854333123321856)via Slater).

Klay Thompson on Charles Barkley Comments: 'It Hurt My Heart' (Sports Illustrated)

The Warriors sharpshooter was clearly irked by the TNT analyst's remarks about his play earlier in the week.

Thompson did seem to use Barkley’s comments as fuel on Thursday night, dropping a season-high 19 points and five three-pointers in Golden State’s 123–110 win over the Heat. Thompson seems more determined than ever to prove his doubters wrong, so time will tell if he can return back to form in the coming weeks. Thompson took offense to those remarks, explaining in an emotional press conference Thursday that he was “hurt” by Barkley’s criticism after all that he had to do to get back on the court. I’m gonna internalize it and it’s gonna be fuel for me to be even better. Like, it’s hard to even put into words what I had to do to be the player I am today. The five-time All-Star sharpshooter suffered injuries to his ACL and Achilles in the same year, but still managed to return to Golden State after going 941 days between NBA games, helping the team win last season’s NBA Finals.

The Warriors haven't received a formal invitation to go to the White House to celebrate their 2022 NBA championship.

The next year, the Cleveland Cavaliers met President Obama after they stunned Golden State in the 2016 NBA Finals. In 2017, the Warriors didn't go to the White House after then-President Donald 4, 2016, after winning the 2015 NBA championship and met with then-President Barack Obama.

Warriors analytics: Steph Curry, Kevon Looney, and lineup data (Golden State of Mind)

NBA lineup data tells us that the Golden State Warriors starting five of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney is ...

The Warriors haven’t played enough games to have any meaningful data here. Once again, it’s clear that the new death lineup — the starters, but with Poole replacing Looney — isn’t working. And the offensive and defensive ratings suggest that it’s not working on either end of the court. And second, the new death lineup is not working yet. I wouldn’t worry much about Green, DiVincenzo, and Poole being featured here. the number of points that the team outscores (or underscores) their opponents per 100 possessions. Moses Moody’s have increased (for now), and so have the roles for the veterans. That starting five is good. The first perspective is that Looney is really good. James Wiseman’s minutes have decreased (for now). So let’s jump into it a little bit by looking at the lineup data to see what teammate combinations are playing the best to start the year. They’ve been openly toeing the line between playing the win-now lineups and the win-later lineups.
