Its crazy that the Dubs can coast and play down to their level of competition and still beat almost any team handily. They would have blown us out by 40 if they wanted but its all about preserving your stamina for the marathon towards the GOAT regular season record

Booker should be playing. 4 rebounds away from a triple double. WTF, Watson.

Booker can either get a triple double with TOs or Rebounds.... closer to 10 TOs though.

It feels like Steph could drop 50 every night if he wanted to.

I need to watch more Warriors games.

I watch tons of Warrior games, just to gauge how good they are. And they are that good..

mainly because NBA defenses, even the best ones... have not adjusted and adapted to their uncanny 3pt and ball movement... its unheard of. Only Curry and Thompson shoot one bounce 24 footers and call it a nice shot. Everyone else who takes those are chuckers or bad shot takers.. but to these 2, especially Curry... its a good shot.

Draymond Green fouls a lot though.... he really does... gets away with forearms on upper backs and push offs... thats a foul on everyone else.

I've never seen a non-surgery required groin injury last this long... and Knight not even attending games.

Maybe a fall out or got told to sit at home and WAIT for his new team??

Knights been at the last couple of games. I honestly think he's fine. Looks like the Suns are resting him while they tank and develop.

If he doesn't get traded I think the Suns play him starting next game.

Been wondering this too. Didn't see him at the game on Monday either.

He was there in an all black suit. Looked like he arrived late in the game.

Mr. Puddles' silver lining of the today's game:

  • We stuck with GS for 3 out of 4 quarters. That's promising. Young teams will struggle to play focussed for 4 quarters in a row. Things could have easily deteriorated into another blowout after that second quarter, but our guys kept playing hard.
  • Markieff with another good stats line. Under Watson: 20.6 ppg, 7.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 45% fg. in 5 games. Regardless of his altercation with Archie, his value in the other GM's should be rising steadily.
  • Booker with a nice all around game. 7 turnovers is obviously high but he wasn't exactly playing against the Honka Playboys here, GS's 'D' will force you to turn the ball over.
  • Archie with 20 points in the second half. Sure, many of his points game in garbage time but still good to see that he was able to rebound from a dreadful start.
  • Orlando Johnson showed promise as a hustling/ hard playing guy off the bench. 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.
  • Mirza Teletovic is continuing to show that he's a good scoring punch off the bench, which any contender in the league could use.
