Gordon with the block and the 3. This guy is playing out of his mind.

Gordon shooting his load in Game 1 of the season or just continuing his flame throwing from last year's playoffs?

Why is prime Klay Thompson wearing a Gordon jersey?

Majority if not all of those freethrows by Shai were legit fouls over the course of 2OTs. It’d be like us crying that he pump faked KD into jumping into him the other day.

Like, how dare he pump fake defenders into jumping into him :nonono:

The obvious difference with Harden is he’d often shoot 38% from the field; no midrange, no post-ups, no efficient 3-level scoring.

FWIW, Gordon shot 44% from three last year, just not on this volume.

Horford is obviously not what he used to be but I still think he really helps GSW.

Horford is not starter material and the warriors figured that out quickly. The initial plan was for him to start, but still a good acquisition because it means Post is not playing

The new heave rule has been pretty good. It's not a huge impact on the game but I like seeing guys actually fire it up from way out.

ESPN’s coverage of the game is so dry and lifeless. Yuck
