Curry is the only time the "like a video game" saying makes sense. His shooting percentages are just ridiculous sometimes.

Also notably, Warriors running Draymond at the 5 but with a PG/SG/SF/SF/PF lineup. Not a PG/PG/SG/SF/PF like Casey loves.

Curry toying with the Pelicans defense man

Why not? Aside from Perkins, no one on Pelicans forcing inside. Unibrow has been chucking contested long shots like there is no tomorrow.

Also, look for Anthony Davis to get his fair share of "star" calls this year.

I'm not against going small at all. I'm pointing out the subtle difference in positional up/down, which is key to the effectiveness.

They have versatile wing players. They are not putting SF's for sake of SF's.

true. but that's part of the reason why it works.

Hm. you may have a point, that due to personnel the Raptors' version doesn't work as well. perimeter versatility only present in the smaller guards (Vasquez/Lou last year, Cojo this year)

Davis' shot selection has been pretty terrible so far this game.

Beautiful SLOB play by Warriors. Cunningham got sucked up too high against the curl leaving Bogut a free path to dive to the rim.
