Really was scary hours after that first. But we ended up locking them down the rest of the game. Amazing

Warriors defense had Denver absolutely befuddled from the end of the 1st until the final buzzer. If MPJ feels pressure to take over on offense, the defense is doing all the right things.

Yet some on the GB still think Curry would "get crushed in the 90s". Unbelievable.

Great win and Kerr finally made an adjustment on Jokic that worked a bit. Now all Kerr has to do is fix that dumb 4th quarter rotation.

I suspect Kerr hoped to save that for the playoffs, but decided the game was too important.

Jimmy takes his time. JK rushes. JK needs to slow the eff down. But that's how 22 year olds are. Premature in a lot of ways.


And for reference. Jimmy was 22 when he came into the league and averaged 2.6 points his first season. Jimmy wasn't a star until the season he turned 25. I don't understand why people don't think JK can grow. He's raw but people have been that before. Not accusing you of doing that btw.
