The warriors are old old old. It’s been said time and time. Media needs to stop pushing them because of Steph for ratings. They’re old. Their title contention window has been closed for at least 2 years now.

I'm surprised how much grabbing and holding off-ball they're allowing Castle to do on Curry. Kid is a dog though. He saw Curry was coming out and instantly walked to the bench, he's going to match him minute for minute. Wants all the smoke.

Has this ever happened due to injury before? All starters plus the 6th man?

Pretty sure this happened to Dallas at some point last season. I'll check, yep.

2/13 Kyrie, Thompson, Washington, AD, Lively, and Gafford all out

Ironically they actually won that game. Don't sleep on heavily injured teams


Looks like it's going to happen again. Detroit up 16 going in to the 4th

Big white Kalk has been fantastic for Charlotte.

Great find in the 2nd round

Castle is absolutely abusing Curry. Spurs future brighter than the sun. Castle/Harper/Wemby in 3 years is going to terrorize the league on both ends

Warriors rim protection is non-existent when Draymond goes out, he's a -1 and they are down by 16

Must be frustrating playing against the Rockets when you can't get any rebounds.

He's incredibly athletic and relentless.

You know I know a lot of people are on the Spurs bandwagon but I hate to see them screw up the 1st half on a 9-0 run to finish the 2nd qtr. Reminds me of when Miami had a 17-1 run earlier this season.

I am not a Castle fan but over the season he has balanced being a passer and scorer much better that I thought possible. Wish he was a better shooter though.

No way… Westbrook is a next level athlete. If you put him in the draft this year, he would still be graded as the best athlete.
