“Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and Curry are the only players in NBA history to score 25 or more points on perfect shooting with five or more triples in a quarter.”
EA - Mike Brown mentioned that towards the end of the game they had Steph start out on a man farthest away from Clippers pick and roll. Hoping that gets featured next E1P.
Ty Lue has become a heck of a coach, the Clippers had to adjust and pull Zubac even though he was playing well, the West is going to be a war, the Warriors need to keep stomping on the Clippers like a bunch of cockroaches every time they can.
Steph is going to Steph! And this team is only getting better!
Poole and Draymond were pressing/mentally off. Thank God Iguodala is back. Draymond gets all kinds of credit for being smart out there, but Andre’s clearly the win driver out there making everything work. Please keep him healthy 🙏.
Porter and Bjelica boarded like men again; they must be inspired by Steph.
Moody pulled some magic out of nowhere on his out of control assists, but it seemed like the Warriors D fell apart when he was out there. I really hope the Warriors send their next gen all-stars to Santa Cruz so I can appreciate them in person.
It would be great to see the Warriors try every combination they can with Dre, Dray, & Steph to figure out their truest bestest lineups.
I think those of us who have to be mindful of our blood pressure would have preferred a game with less giveaways but at the same time it's really encouraging that we can win a game against a pretty good team that was playing to win down the stretch while having committed over 20 turnovers ourselves. Last year, that situation would have yielded us a 20-point loss. This team is only going to get better and that's really exciting.
Feel free to ignore the whole "75th Anniversary team" thing. On the team: Carmelo Anthony. Not on the team: Klay Thompson. A drowning chimpanzee could make better choices. I don't know what that means but come on. Carmelo just scores points and watches NBA Finals on TV, enjoying Klay put on the show. I'd be more upset but let's let Klay show 'em on the court.
After Steph retires we’ll probably never see a player be this great again for the Warriors. We’re witnessing a top 20 player of all time (at the moment and I won’t argue about where exactly) and creeping up that list. Enjoy every second of this.
One other thing worth noting. The Clips are playing their first game and have been written off by a lot of folks even after a deep playoff run, even after Kawhi got hurt. Understandable that some of the playoff heroes were gonna come out fighting even after falling in the big hole.
*Poole struggled, but he had a few foul hunting moments where he didn't get a call. He's gonna have a 12-15 FTA game this season
*Bjelica/Porter are nice vets, but both need to be a bit more aggressive about getting shots up. A 3 by them is more valuable than most other shots. They need to take them and not pass to a covered guy.
*Moody has shown some flashes. I want some blowouts to see him play more.
*We killed them on the boards +15. This is after outrebounding the Lakers. Strangest stat so far this season.
*Need to really take advantage of this early schedule. 8-2 in the next 10 should be the goal.
*I've seen enough Iguodala to trust him still. Let's Captain America freeze him for playoffs.
*Dray, I had just started trusting your FTs....
*Damion looks really good. Averaging 29 MPG so far.
*Steph is fun. And I can forgive your turnovers. Sometimes.
Per Monte Poole:

I AM ENTERTAINED.
In October, 2014, ESPN had all its analysts predict the eventual champs for 2014-15. Ethan Sherwood Strauss who covered the Warriors predicted they'd win it all, the only writer to think so. As he lays out here: https://www.espn.com/blog/golden-state-warriors/post/_/id/6/why-the-warriors-can-win-the-2014-15-title
Now, why would I mention a thing like that right about now?

This is awesome. PG asking Steph to trade logo shots. He's one of my favorite players.
Watching Steph's highlights and seeing Moody and Kumingas reactions is awesome. They're just in awe of Steph lol

2 words: NO WORDS
how fun was it to watch a high energy game without the stupid pump fake fouls to ruin the flow?
NOW THAT’S A RANDOM ENDING I CAN GET BEHIND

Both of Moody's assists were made possible by his alien arms reaching over the outstretched arms of the defenders (and his vision of course).
