Draymond revenge game against Charlotte.

Has 7 pts, 8 assists and 7 rebounds ....in the first quarter. And he hit a three. Lol

And a floater. Draymond must think it's 2015.

Exactly, you knew he'd be on a mission. 9/7/11 at the half, no biggie

He’s not wrong here, as Lebron is amazing. That said, most of the time Chris is a bumbling idiot.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

This guy needs his ass kicked.

Well, you should.

He is a streaky shooter.

Another month like January could be right around the corner.

Exactly

He'd be an all star if he didn't miss so much time. The Heat would also be quite a few games better. That's why I was telling all yall not to panic about the Heat the last couple of months.

Warriors are probably still being underrated. They'll probably pass the Blazers and Spurs in the standings soon. I think the Nuggets will probably catch the Warriors, but if the Warriors finish 6th in the West, that's a pretty good season considering they don't have Klay.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

If anything over the years the Warriors have definitely been overlooked. A real sleeper team that no one saw coming

Draymond has looked great since the Charlotte loss. He hasn't looked this good in a long time. Maybe the debacle last week in Charlotte is just what Draymond and the Warriors needed.

Funny but based on his actions it may be true

That's great a guy who makes 25 million a year is playing to his contract. I don't know what else to say on these guys...they make really good money...therefore they should perform. That's been the criticism. It's not like it's unfounded to question whether a dude averaging single digits that doesn't stretch the defenses is worth 25 mil. If he does play up to that then that's great...he should be!

I'd also add that it doesn't necessarily do much for his trade value. I don't think anyone other than Robotech has questioned his value to the Warriors. It's his value to other teams that has been questioned.

Scoring is up. Lots of guys posting monster numbers.

Yep. Might have mentioned earlier thought Sexton could be an all star this year. Then I saw the first list of voting. Even at 6th at time thought there were a number of guards ahead of him...and that was the East.

 

[dtgold88]

You left out the 4th, and likely the most important, shooting over 50 %. Feel free to throw out any stats you want, but I listed the other 4 guys that have done it in their 3rd year, Oscar, the Glyde, Bird and Weber is not bad company.

Not bad at all and MAYBE he becomes perennial all star. Earlier in season Sexton was in some lists like this but was 25 ppg, 53% FTG and 50% 3 point. He's also not far currently from 50% FG. was also in some lists for guys his age and scoring 20 points in a number of games in a row.

I don't make the Sexton comparison to justify Cavs not taking him. Just happens to be the guy who put up those numbers. Guessing if they knew Garland would be their guy the next year they'd have taken SGA.

Yeah, I've been very critical of Draymond. I just want to recognize when he does play well. He's about to turn 31, so I doubt he'll play close to his contract enough to satisfy the fans. I'd love it if he got his scoring back to at least 10 per game, but at least his single digits in rebounds and assists are pretty high.
