Cool shot distribution to start this half. We're really firing on all cylinders now.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

1. The Warriors are the friggin Warriors. They blow everybody out.

2. Denver was winning by 16 at the end of the 1st Q. There's no such thing as "blowing a lead" that you only had in the first six minutes of the game.

This game isn't over.

You concerned yet?

Looking absolutely flat in the 3rd quarter already.

Vucevic is the king of taking jumpers when there's a literal 0% chance of an offensive rebound.

It's all well and good when they go in, but when they don't... woof.

This team is so soft, both physically and mentally.

What the hell happened? I stopped watching before the half and now they're down 10?

He reverted back to shooting those crappy 20 ft jumpers and almost never posts up anymore. Defensively he just doesn't know or care to use his length at all.

Vogel's mad, but he's the one that let's Evan and Vuc run this s*** show, so I can't really sympathize.

I'm sorry but Vuc probably checked out. As soon as he throws his hands in the air or flings the ball at the stanchion I know he's done for the night.

LOL no.

Some of y'all take this stuff too seriously though. Last game of the roadie, the legs look a little heavy, but the game isn't out of reach.

I can't take this team seriously. They are soft still as always.

We let a volume jump shooting team get hot. I hate that we don't do that high-low action more.

This is where Jeff Turner grates at me. Jeff, if a good player making a shot is enough to break your spirit, then your spirit sucks.

People need to realize that with the amount of threes teams take these days, that an 8-10 point deficit isn't anything.

String together a couple of stops and a couple of makes.

This is the sort of game that kills me about Payton. The offense begins to become unraveled and he does absolutely nothing to settle it down. Paytons game is to get his stats within the helter-skelter offense, not to get things under control. He has no "floor general" presence at all.
The curse of Fran Vasquez lives on
