The Warriors were defeated by the Kings on Wednesday night, and Kevon Looney's absence was felt in the frontcourt.
Steve Kerr turned to rookie Quentin Post for an expanded role in the absence of Looney. The Warriors center finished the game with five points, six rebounds, and one block. At the postgame press conference, Kerr spoke out on Post's future in the rotation. It sounded like Warriors fans should get used to seeing a little bit more of him.
But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.

Anthony Davis has gotten the best of Golden State in recent matchups, and we anticipate the Lakers’ superstar dominating down low for Los Angeles tonight.
And don’t forget, this past offseason, the Warriors lost a $30 million chunk of salary when they jettisoned Chris Paul strictly for luxury tax avoidance. The NBA owners wanted a system that brought big-market, big-spending teams like the Warriors to heel, and they received it.
