The Clippers or Nets are just as talented, maybe more so. We've had a cupcake schedule. The game against the Bucks will tell a lot.

I somewhat agree

We have the talent to match those 2 (BKN has the highest top end talent in the league now, but we have more overall depth), but we have also sleepwalked, so I can't really tell

LAC playing more hungry than us, don't love that

But I think PG will also cool off again, they still don't have a true playmaker, and their defense is not great somehow

We should be the favorite though

Just won a ring and are probably the most talented 1-10

Warriors had a chance to take the lead when they went on that 17-2 run and had it within a possession

but Steph couldnt beat his defenders off the dribble or get a clean look offball

this is how its gonna look for him against top defenses all season but he'll have some games where he goes off against the bottom feeder defenses

Some of the AD criticisms in this thread are hilarious.

Steph is steadily declining... it does not matter occasionally he exploded for a big game... he has no energy out there... his motor is big part of his game... now he could not shake off defenders and get a shot off, that's just pathetic, considering he has the quickest release

The big factor with these teams will end up being team chemistry and defense.
All 3 teams should not have trouble scoring. Stopping other teams will be the deciding factor.

To Curry’s defense he had 3 guys including lebron rushing him, but even in one on one situations, lately I’ve been asking myself “what has happened to Steph’s iso game”

There was a time just a couple years ago where leaving someone on a island with Steph was an automatic bucket

Interesting stat. Kelly Oubre leads the league in flexes after made FGs. He has a 100% flex/fg ratio.

Warriors bench has no fear of taking a shot. These guys don't hesitate.
