Last season I got the sense early that even if Curry wasn’t on we had players who could score wide open threes or otherwise score. This year I’ve gotten the sense very early that outside of Curry we really have nobody (particularly off the bench) who can step up consistently.

Feeling like the ceiling this year is six to eight seed this year, don’t think we are title contenders at this time unless something drastically changes with wiseman, kuminga, moody development or a trade.

OT this schedule has been one of the worst I’ve seen. Already two road B2B and another B2B tomorrow??

Only 18 TOs and we cleaned it up in the second half but the ones we did have were momentum killers... also a couple bad transition possessions where we don't seem to understand stopping the ball

I do not want to look at the standings but I can’t help it. Not pretty

Kings are a tough matchup. Not losing much sleep over this one.

I was never happy they signed Lamb given the history, but the fact he’s closing out the game, even if he’s been playing pretty well is… concerning.

Bench Kerr, fire Wiseman, trade Lamb, send Klay to the G-league. Problem solved.

Dubs definitely need more scoring from the bench especially since Looney/Draymond are mostly nonfactors on that end and Klay is playing way below his career standards. Steph can't be superhuman every night.

Why the hell was Steph not otherworldly incandescent like he has been all season? What a ripoff.
