His best move is that quick jump hook. Anything else and it's a bad shot/turnover

Hard to envision a win the way things look now. Maybe we could get more of their guys in foul trouble, and CP3 could take over sooner, but that's it I think.

Honestly, our defense has passed the eye test. We're just not putting up enough points

Sometimes he backs a guy down and then turns around for a short fadeaway. The hook shot is the best, then that.

But post basketball is mostly dead overall in the NBA anyway. Everyone wants 3s and easy finishes at the rim for better efficiency.

Ayton with a very rare bad shooting night. At least he is already 7-9 from the line and it's not even halftime, so he's been aggressive on offense now that he's getting a lot of opportunities. They are just all over him so his shooting has suffered.

Otherwise we are hitting our 3s. But if Curry is over 50% from 3, it hurts. It sucks that one that bounced up and around went in..we can't have stuff like that dropping.

Don’t forget we’re short handed, on the road, and on a back to back against arguably a top 3 team in the league.

The fact we’re still in this game is impressive to me.

Damn, got it down to 6 and can't convert. Shamet was close. GS playing very tough D too. Luckily Poole missed and Paul got it and picked up the foul. Still pretty close game.

We really need to clean up on the defensive glass. Feels like there are two blue jerseys just standing under our basket unattended every possession

Our starters are doing better than their's but our bench is getting killed on the boards.
