Remember when the talk was how the Warriors' soft schedule was a major question mark in terms of how good the Warriors might be this year? (Never mind that Phoenix's even softer schedule never seemed to be brought up).

Here’s some stat-testicle fun to start your morning:
Per 36, Klay is leading the team in shot attempts and field goals made, along 3-point shot attempts and makes. He’s second on the team in blocks and personal fouls behind Quinndary Weatherspoon.
A comment about the commentary... Fitz said that Klay's got the 'most perfect jumpshot in the world'. I tend to agree, because the most perfect jumpshot ever, imho, belongs to Ray Allen.
So… every offseason, Klay would come back with a slightly better handle and touch around the rim. Are we looking at Klay with 30 months of off-season working on those things instead of the regular 3 month offseason?

To all my fellow Dub Nation members who weren’t at Chase tonight just let me assure you that the Warrior Nation in attendance gave that returning legend absolutely everything we had in welcoming him back to the fold and cheering him on at the top of our lungs, it was loud, it was joyful and we nearly lifted him up and carried him out of there on our voices
So GPII signs his contract tomorrow. I wonder what FO is gonna do - (1) Guarantee this season and then use Early Bitd (restricted agent) next year OR (2) do a multi-year contract now using portion of TPMLE.
For FO, (1) is better from saving 2-3 million dollars from Luxury tax POV but (2) is better so as to lock his contract in for few years of
For GPII, (1) will be. betting on himself and hope to get much bigger pay day next year but (2) is certainty of few years of guaranteed payday.
What would you do if you were GPII? I would bet on myself.
LA sports teams are 1-4 tonight (Clippers won, Lakers lost, Rams lost, and Chargers lost), while the Bay Area sports teams (+ Raiders) are 3-0 tonight.
The best image of the evening? The loving hug of Love and Klay. So many switches, so many matchups, so many clutches, so many regrets for Kevin that so much wanted to become a Dub.
Totally unrelated: does the sort of cacophonous fans background chorus come from this one? (Warriors, 1979). https://youtu.be/aRM2YcGpmxg

Thrilling game last night. Like everyone else, I had a major Klaygasm. (Also a Loongasm.) Nice to see Curry looking a little better, too!

Love that he's still competing with Zaza for in game dunks! I'm now going to return to crying golden tears of joys.

Very good performance, from the star and from his supporting cast. Excited for more to come.

Raiders beat the Chargers 35-32 in overtime. Raiders head into the playoffs and will face the Bengals in the wild card game.
This Raiders game is giving me heart problems.
I almost forgot that klay isos more then curry LMAO he looked good
