Don’t want to jinx it, but if Washington comes back to win this one I would be pretty surprised.

I am shocked that Magic blew the Knicks out but I cannot complain, I would take any win at Madison Square Garden which is a tough place to win at! Tough loss Knick fans but I am very impressed with Brunson, he does not give up! Go Magic!

Warriors announcers flat out saying Curry jumping backwards into Wemby to get a foul called. *sigh*

Curry is getting an SGA-level whistle tonight in San Antonio. Nasty work.

Was Fox really supposed to be a point guard? all i've seen from him so far is a shooting guard who can't shoot

Guess you didn't see the previous two games? He has disappeared this game, true though.

Get up in Wemby's space with wing sized players and he's much less effective on offense. That's the next step in his development.

5 assists, 6 turnovers vs Chi, 3 assists 2 turnovers vs NO, those are shooting guard numbers. Castle has basically been playing pg from what i've seen

Warriors have shot 16 more FT's than the Spurs in SA... And we have been attacking the paint quite a bit tonight.

Spurs are playing poorly, but we're also getting jobbed on our own home floor by these zebras.

Margin of error against these dudes is microscopic even with half their roster missing.

Now do scoring in those games.

I thought he played off ball a lot in his first two back but someone showed an interview clip where he said he didn't want to ruin the rhythm established as he worked his way back.

He's just been way too passive this game. We need his speed to break down the D.

Ridiculous flop by Draymond to get Wemby his 3rd foul when Draymond literally stuck is face into Wemby's space trying to reach for a Steal. That has to be overturned.

It's **** incredible. My stomach churned when I saw Foster's name. Hope I'm wrong.

Doesn't help that Wemby is not downhill or down low enough. We have to run at them now.
