I don't like getting positive press like this. Bad for the underdog mojo we had going.

I'm seriously troubled if people honestly believe what's written in articles have an effect on our win/loss record.

It's a good thing nobody cares if you're disturbed or not, or in fact, any kind of feeling you have

The Ringer posted this too early. We played two middle of the road playoff teams, one missing their star, and were properly stomped out.
Yes, the schedule didn't help us at all. But, losing that Washington game really stings. The Philly one, you could chalk up to a scheduled loss.

I'm not seriously troubled if you're seriously troubled.

Isn't the ringer a Simmons website?
No surprise that AB got most of the credit for our good start

In NO NBA is Ellenson able to protect the rim and rebound right which is what a center's job is and always will be. I don't care if other teams are running guys out there that can't do this, I care not to join the party.

I agree. People take this small ball stuff way too far just because the Warriors had success with it. GSW is obviously a very unique situation and this small ball trend has already slowed down a bit imo. Traditional big men like Drummond still have a very valuable place in this league I would take them every time over some chucker who is a ghost on defense and on the glass.
Hilarious thing is that GSW had one of the best defensive centers when they won their first championship.
