Javale Mcgee Shines Again In Warriors' 123-92 Rout Over Bulls

... Ja Vale Mc Gee was easily the most entertaining aspect of the Warriors 123-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night. Mc Gee was forced to exit in the third quarter after taking a hard fall, but contributed six monster dunks, scoring 16 points in just 13 minutes. All five Warriors scored in double figures, with Klay Thompson’s 28 leading the pack. Though the Bulls had no answer for Mc Gee rolling to the basket, the he three point line ultimately decided the game. Chicago was abysmal from deep, shooting 17.4 percent, hitting just four of their 23 attempts. For comparison, Thompson and Kevin Durant made five and six threes respectively. In all, Golden State shot 53.6 percent from downtown, going 15-for-28. It should be noted that the Bulls really had no chance in this game, with their two best players in Jimmy Butler (heel) and Dwyane Wade (illness) sidelined, facing a Warriors team on two days rest and coming off a loss. After arguably his worst game of the season against Sacramento where he ...

Warriors Contact Turner Sports About Javale Mcgee Coverage

... wasn’t available after practice Friday, head coach Steve Kerr and forward Kevin Durant defended Mc Gee. “Ja Vale has been fantastic for us as a player, as a teammate, fantastic guy,” Kerr said. “I don’t blame him for being frustrated. Shaq has been picking on him for years and years and years, and Ja Vale, rightfully so, is frustrated. It never ends. “It’s one thing to have a little fun, but I think he can go a little over the top. You think about Ja Vale’s career where you’re in this position where someone on national TV is making fun of you night after night. It’s not the greatest thing for your reputation. I can tell you that I had a preconceived notion of Ja Vale before I got here that turned out to be false.”. Said Durant: “Ja Vale works extremely hard, has come in here and done extremely well as a player. He only ...

Will Zaza Pachulia Reclaim His Starting Center Spot From Javale Mcgee

... are going to rumble opponents in the aggregate. “There are trade-offs with each guy,” Kerr said. “They have strengths and weakness.”. Mc Gee’s biggest strength is that lob game. It spaces the floor vertically and adds an extra booby trap to a Warriors offense that, for defenses, is like navigating a minefield capable of detonating at any part of the floor from any player. Mc Gee has been the beneficiary this season. He is 10 th in the NBA with 88 dunks, done in only 487 minutes. Le Bron James has 85 in 1,952 minutes. Anthony Davis 82 in 1,927 minutes. So Mc Gee, when deployed by the coaching staff, is a weapon used very often by the Warriors’ crew of capable passers. And he has been particularly effective against some of the league’s lower-rung teams: 17 points in 16 minutes on the Knicks, 15 points in nine minutes on the Pistons. But there’s a concern that come playoff time against locked in, better ...

Big Test, Opportunity For Javale Mcgee Vs Nikola Jokic

... best moments came during his two-plus seasons in Denver. He’ll want to show well. Jokic will make that difficult. Six days from his 22 nd birthday, the highly skilled Serbian already is one of the league’s most dangerous big men; his 26.96 PER is eighth in the NBA and tops among centers. If he has his way in and around the paint, the Nuggets keep it close. INJURY REPORT.

Javale Mcgee Continues To Excel In Starting Role

... started since Zaza Pachulia went down with an injury, Mc Gee has averaged a modest 9 points and 5.5 rebounds on.634% shooting. Again, these numbers are not going to blow anyone away. But Mc Gee’s mere presence on the court presents a magnitude of problems for opposing teams. A hearty amount of Mc Gee’s points come on simple rim runs, which are as uncomplicated as they sound. When the Warriors get a rebound, Mc Gee sprints up the court to the rim. If he beats his man, then he is often rewarded with the ball and an easy bucket. Mc Gee’s quickness and size make him an obvious threat in transition. But his athleticism makes him just as dangerous in the half court. Playing with the likes of Stephen Curry , Kevin Durant , Klay Thompson and Draymond Green can take all the attention off of the center position. When the Warriors choose to run a pick-and-roll with Mc Gee, they place the defense in quite the precarious position — either play Mc Gee tight and protect the rim, thus, leaving the defender on an island to guard the likes of Curry by his lonesome, or, place all attention on the ball ...

The Shaq-javale Mcgee Beef Has Reached 'threats Of Violence On Twitter' Status

... from the only one who has laughed at Ja Vale’s miscues over the years, but Mc Gee has made it clear that he doesn’t find Shaq’s segment or its effect on his reputation funny in the least. He told Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group this summer that “it’s just really disappointing that grown men, 50, 40 year olds are having ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ of a player, and then making it a hashtag and really just trying to ruin someone’s career over basketball mistakes.”. O’Neal briefly offered Mc Gee — who has done good work this season to rehabilitate his image and resuscitate his career playing as a reserve big man for the West-leading Warriors — an exemption from appearing on “Shaqtin’ a Fool” if he could go three straight games without making the kind of glaring mistake that has landed him on the countdown in the past. O’Neal instead continued to clown on Mc Gee, even as Ja Vale kept grinding away in Golden State; Mc Gee clapped back, and Shaq doubled down, and now we’re left with middle-of-the-night threats passed back and forth over Twitter between two very ...

Warriors’ Javale Mcgee Enjoys Career Renaissance

... affable, introspective approach. A self-described “nerd,” he is the first person they call when they have computer trouble. Mc Gee’s penchant for pranks has kept the mood light. During in-depth conversations about this country’s socio-political climate, he is typically good for keen insight. “He’s not suddenly a better teammate or a better person,” said Andre Iguodala , who played with Mc Gee in Denver in 2012-13. “Because the truth is, he’s always been that guy.”. When Mc Gee joined the Warriors in September as a non-guaranteed training-camp invitee, his NBA career was on life support. A slow-healing leg injury had limited him to 62 games over his previous three seasons. Four years removed from signing a four-year, $44 million deal with the Nuggets, Mc Gee was known more for his blooper reel than his athleticism. Because he had toiled mostly for losing teams, many perceived his lighthearted disposition as a negative. His series of absentminded follies only ...
