2016 Warriors started 24-0. Only reason I remember this is cos we almost ended their streak. Double overtime loss for us at home. We softened them cos they lost the following night @ Milwaukee lol.

Tatum - 40.6%
Brown - 44%
Porzingis - 45%
White - 57.9%
Holiday - 37.5%
Obviously, it's just 4 games and these will all come down back to earth, but I'm pretty confident this team will be able to handle that because of our defense. As insane as it may sound as Smart is DPoY 2 years ago, but I believe White and Holiday are both better 1 on 1 defenders than him. And Brown is a better defender at the 3. Tatum is Tatum and Porzingis has been an awesome rim protector as well. Even on shots that he don't block, it's pretty clear how simply contesting is bothering attempts close to the rim.

Dallas’ 3 pt shooting is even crazier. Grant Williams is taking nearly 8 3pt shots per game, almost the same as Tatum who takes the most on the Celtics, and his hitting 55%. Meanwhile he is third on the team in attempts with Doncic taking 11-12 and Hardaway 9.

Is this good ? Do they need to sign Dwight Howard to shore up their rebounding ?
sign Dwight Howard
trade Pritchard for Drummond
trade Banton for a 2nd to free up a roster spot; sign Boogie
trade Svi for a 2nd to free up another roster spot; sign Blake
trade Stevens for cash; sign Dwight Howard again
trade Jrue, Jaylen, and Derrick for Nate Thurmond (sign and trade)
lineup:
Dwight/Boogie/Blake/Thurmond/Dwight
GET IT DONE, BRAD!!
You are nuts to think we should sign Dwight twice when we could sign Derrick Favors instead!

Signing Dwight means Kitty is also signing with the Cs.
