Wow! You know, each season it seems like there are a couple of those games that remind me how valuable it is to watch every game. With some real bad vibes and recent losses, the expectations coming in against the Eastern Conference’s best record were lower than a mouse’s knuckles.

And yet somehow - somehow - the Golden State Warriors took it to the Miami Heat tonight. No Stephen Curry. No Draymond Green. No Klay Thompson. It’s hard to believe this is the same team that couldn’t handle the Orlando Magic last night.

Jordan Poole was sensational all night.

Andrew Wiggins had 20 points in the second half (after a first half best not discussed). But it was this wild spin move into a diving layup followed by a dagger-in-your-mostly-dead-corpse three that put the game away for sure.

Awesome!

This was a huge, huge win for a Golden State team that has been on their heels lately. Coming out on a SEGABABA, short-handed, and still managing to knock off the top team in the East would be a feather in anyone’s hat, but given the Warriors’ recent struggles, this one counts extra.

The Warriors will get one day off before continuing their road trip with a visit to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

I’d like to see an E1P on GP2 from this game or a similar one. Or compare yesterday’s GP2 with same dude from earlier in the season. My rough impression is that his game has, if anything, elevated.

- Still has the motor to press full court and disrupt opponent inbound setups.

- Harasses dribbling like nobody else in the game (maybe Thybulle comes close?)

- Guys seem to literally be afraid to keep the ball when he’s guarding them.

- Covers, out-muscles and boxes out guys much bigger than him

- Rebounds like a big

- Passes bullets (is this something new relative to earlier in the year).

- Can slash, shoot and occasionally drop a 3 from the corner.

- Great positive attitude.

One huge change I noticed last night is that he didn’t try to dunk even when he had easy ones, instead taking the little layup. I wonder if this is a coach directive to help him avoid injury. Those huge high flying dunks definitely stress the joints and risk terrible mid air collisions.

Stay healthy young glove! In so many ways the most intriguing player on the Dubs.

Looks like Kyrie wins. Got to play half the games, make all the money, and be fresh and rested for the playoffs.
