Brooklyn pulls it out and so does Phi. Interesting night.

Oh yeah - East still suck.

Don't look now but 9 year vet point guard Rajon Rondo is shooting 30% from the line on 2 attempts per game. FYI Drummond is shooting 45%.

Some people here wanted to trade for Rondo and you know who you are.

In other news, Ed Davis still sucks.

Incorrect! He's LA's best big by a fair margin, from what I have seen. Low bar, sure, but he certainly doesn't suck. Scott just doesn't play him because he is not a very good coach.

Golden State is going to make our defense look foolish.

idk we competed with them last year…

the away game we might lose, but if mona gets to them the night before in toronto, i think we'll win handily.

This was why I said the Warriors are the closest team trying to emulate the Spurs earlier. Their playbook is heavily influenced by the Spurs with lots of motion sets. That particular play was from the Triangle offense, though having the big at the pinch post and the guards making the scissor cut. Love how Bogut has the option to fake the hand-off and can take it to the rim because of Curry's and Klay's gravity to force the screen defender to provide curl protection. Spurs usually have TD stationed at the nail/TOK and initiate the same X-cut.

Monta Ellis's game winner was insane.

Laughed a bit when I saw Elfrid Payton airball 2 free throws in a row haha

Anyone watching Tim Micallef on Primetime with Bob McCown right now?

McCown is honestly the most boring radio host... Tim by himself is more entertaining than McCown right now.. Let alone Tim and Sid together... hands down the better show over Primetime with McCown!

Given the pedigree of their coach, seeing triangle and motion sets isn't unusual and makes the unstoppable. Coach Jackson gave them the balls and the belief that they can compete. Coach Kerr is showing them technically how champions execute.
