Re: 10/28 | Friday Game Thread
Warriors defense is better with Green at 5 amd KF at 4, and i think they should start experimenting with McGee playing with the starters. They desperately need length and/or arhleticism at the 5 and Zaza, while solid, is a positional defender only.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.
NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

It'll work itself out, but that's been a glaring difference to me so far.
To make Durant comfortable they're running play sets he's used to. Simple pick and rolls, spot ups, high post ups, pin downs. The offense doesn't resemble last year at all. And the defense doesn't either. They have no rim protection, how do they solve that?

Curry looks 10x more comfortable with Durant off.

Warriors are going to get everyone's best shot again this year, which will make their games very entertaining to watch. If they win 70 again, they will have earned it for sure.

Frazier grabbed left arm before the shot. Curry felt it and took the shot, expecting the call. You can say it wasn't a shooting foul but it was definitely a foul. JVG is just watching the lack of contact on the shot. But the foul was before that.

Well, I thought Durant made huge strides defensively last year, and was straight up dominant in that respect in the playoffs. So when the Warriors went Death Star this year, with Durant instead of Barnes, I felt that their defense would take a huge leap forward. But that hasn't been the case.
I think it's simply a matter of chemistry, they'll figure it out over the course of the season, imo. But right now, yeah, they look way worse compared to last year.

I totally forgot Looney was on the Warriors. He is a talent.

I hope there is a fun game on that tablet, certainly none for AD in the game.

Re: 10/28 | Friday Game Thread
You kind of watch the team and think if Jrue Holiday, Tyreke and Pondexter come back, the Pelicans could at least be somewhat competitive, but it still feels like a terrible squad. It also sucks that Hield literally shows none of the confidence he displayed at Oklahoma. If we gotta watch guys like Etwan Moore let it fly, Buddy do the same.

Curry got bailed out big time on that last play. I thought he was working on being a pure PG and not being as careless with the ball?

If Jrue, Tyreke can come back, they'll find a way to get injured again and so is Davis lol
