Well that was to be expected. The Regular season starts Sunday right? That should be enough training camp for the rookies and we should only be down one player.
The season starts off better than we could have hoped for, the new signings play better than we were expecting, the team chemistry feels like old Strength in Numbers, Curry breaks the 3pt record, and then we slide into a hard to watch mini slump like a; will our heroes survive? why don't they look like themselves? who is going to save them? cliff hanger ending...
So, once again, in a critical moment, Poole looks at his man, turns back to face the rim, doesn't box him out, and his man gets the carom and he fouls him to end the game.
(Just finished the tape so I get to be bitter now.)
Poll: how many times have you rewatched the Klay 37-point quarter in your life? 1-3 = Big fan. 4-7 = Crazy fanatic. 8-11 = Maniac. 12-15 times = You're Klay Thompson
Highlight of the game, no question:

I actually like how Phase One has been scripted:

A perfect set up for Phase Two.
Give the writers some credit!

Bleh.
Moody seemed to have a nice impact tonight even though he didn't hit a 3. Kinda odd since he's "just a 3 and D prospect".
How was kuminga?
Uhhh...boo?
Looks like NBA TV went and significantly downgraded my Sunday. Oh well
