is that in terms of just individual games or an average across all games?

Average across all games. They're leading the league now with an average point differential of +13.2 points per game. GS is at 13.1.

Looks like last night Was Russell's best all around game for his career. Even though he had better scoring nights this season, he was very efficient last night as he shot 53% and only needed 13 shots to get his 19,7, & 4.

It was also his high for assists. Looks like he's starting to get some things figured out.

Perhaps but then the GS-OKS WCF will be epic (I'm assuming GS is the #1 seed, but even that's no lock)

We should be the 1 seed

He's been playing good basketball these last several games. You can see him getting more comfortable with the flow of the NBA. He is dictating more than being reactionary on offense.

Good for him. I've always thought he'd eventually be a franchise player and possibly a good leader if he learned to share the responsibility of winning with his team mates.

yah very nice overall game by Russell it looks like- Randle with another 14 and 14 too...

This is kinda what it was like for the Cavs the year after they drafted Thompson and Irving- its fun having 2 -basically rookies- and see what they can do on a night to night basis. Its relaly fun when later in the season those guys combine to have a big game and win a game they shouldnt win against a good team.


Is Clarkson a RFA this summer?

It's pretty close between SA and GS. Only 4 games last I checked. Too many mistakes and GS could end up second. I know how great they are, but things happen. SA could also start losing and drop in the standings. Anything can happen.

Don't you know that the Warriors are invincible and the Spurs are garbage. Get your facts straight.

Yeah, he's a RFA. I really don't know if a Clarkson/Russell backcourt will work long term. I think the Lakers will have to decide what to do with him soon. I could see him being a big trade piece to set up their Free Agency this coming off-season.

this was twitter when the Warriors finally lost, tbh.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying watching their development, probably seeing a lot of what Cavs fans saw before Lebron returned. First they were showing flashes of what they could do. Now we are seeing more consistent, longer lasting flashes. Last night was as close to a complete game that they've played this year. It was good to see.

Yeah, Clarkson's an RFA this summer.

Warriors #1 in point differential now lol they're scewing it

Yeah they won by a tiny margin over their opponent than SA did. 27 to 19. Point differential doesn't matter to me tbh.

Why not? They haven't played enough together to come to any conclusions yet.
