yeah no this isn't true at all. they'd be way better if they had kept James Harden. They badly need a 3rd ballhandler and if they had a guy like Harden coming off the bench in that capacity..

All these shots by Russ early in the clock are like TOVs

Draymond has zero post game, even on a mismatch

Is Golden State rattled by anything?

You need lazer focus and discipline to play against he warriors. When the fans get loud, you have to tune them or and execute with discipline. The turnovers OKC are making aren't really all that forced. They are making really silly passes and GS is capitalizing in transition... Not nearly as potent in the half court.

It's crazy watching guys moving off the ball on Golden State, especially Curry. Always probing to see if there's a cut that comes available. Not within a set play or anything, just playing smart.

Also having a guy that can draw fouls at his rate. Just adds another dimension that would be valuable here.

There was a point in time where Thompson wasn't good enough to give up DeMar for.

OKC needs to slow the pace down, none of these early shot clock westbrook bricks.
