Post game party thread: Warriors finally win on the road!

dubnationhq.com

The Golden State Warriors finally have a win on the road, managing to knock off the rebuilding Houston Rockets 127-120. It wasn’t always the prettiest basketball, but the Warriors blasted out of the gate with a strong 1st quarter, then put the game away late with some heroics from the Splash Bros.

Yes, it is somewhat unacceptable that it took a shot like this to put away the Rockets, but a win is a win!

What it kind of liked like to me, on the turnovers, is that the Rockets' defense was SO BAD at keeping guys covered especially on cuts, that the Dubs players got overexcited about juicy easy buckets and made hasty passes—which the Rockets, especially because they were already out of position, were able to deflect and steal. I don't think it was an intentional strategy and I doubt any other team could replicate it successfully. So that's kind of a fluke.

Otherwise... great Klay game, Steph still nuts, poor point-of-attack defense meant Draymond, Looney, and others had to commit too many fouls. Poole looked concerningly hesitant to shoot looks he was splashing with confidence in the playoffs. Wiggins amazing from 3, but not as good on the glass... hey, we came away with the W, and that's good enough for now.

Last two games were goods wins but boy is this not sustainable.

If Klay is feeling more like his old self and not just a chucker that will help lots but he wont be on the floor tonight.

Defence needs a lot of work but I do think that will come around more and more when the new bench catches up.

Not worried about the boards so much, we've never been top in the league in Rodmans And I still remember the Cohan erra where we were tops in the league and also the worst team in the league. (When you miss a lot of shots hopefully your rebounding # would go up).

Do we need a trade? Not a panic one for sure and what is really out there for what we, this year are willing to give up?

Someone on the old site used to berate folks for wanting a strong bench but having people that can get you quality min's is vital. This is where older vets come in knowing how to play the game but willing to not have to have a 20 min a night load is key. Our rooks have sky high potential but how do you get that with no playing time?
