Darvin Ham lost that game. Never should have put PatBev and Russ back in late

Bench Pts:

GS - 28
Clev - 13
But their bench was basically 3 guys and Poole was most of that. Still not much bench but I was surprised the starters actually didn't play that many minutes. When Curry goes supernova it doesn't really matter, that's a W. 18 for Steph in the 4th quarter.

Klay by the way had a spectacular moment locking down Mitchell with 20 seconds left in the game in a tight one.

Didn't shoot well but that's what winning players do.

Kinda sad to see the stands completely empty on a Friday night in San Antonio, the only pro team there...I get it, but they are playing pretty good.

I think the Dubs found a nice role player in Anthony Lamb.
Dude has been a nice surprise so far. He had a pretty good game tonight.

Honestly, when is Curry going to retire? Leave some scraps, bruh!
He might be having his second best statistical year ever...only the unanimous MVP season really much better. My goodness.

Early story in the whole league: scoring is way up for everyone. Maybe temporary but it's the fact now, there are 7 players averaging over 30 points per game which is bonkers.

Not a coincidence Curry's offensive numbers are up this year.

Just heard this on NBA TV: Curry is the oldest player to score 40+ 2 games in a row since some old head named Michael Jordan.

I remember a poster that used to talk about how Curry can't carry a team LOL...

Kawhi Leonard went through 5-on-5 this morning before the team’s practice and is progressing. He will not play tomorrow against the Nets but Ty Lue says Kawhi is getting closer to a return. Lue made it sound like Kawhi still has a little bit more to go before returning.​

I have said this before, but it is getting to the point where it is just plain ridiculous.

If Wiseman and Kuminga aren’t good enough to play a major role on this team, what the Warriors are doing with them is tantamount to malpractice.

You simply can’t let these guys rot on the bench and erode their trade value.

Every day that passes as they inch closer to RFA their value dips.

Kerr doesn’t trust them. He isn’t going to anytime soon.

The Warriors must trade them. The clock is ticking.

That might indeed be where it's headed. They had an idea, maybe it's not doable.

Neither player has really had any college. They need time on the court. The Ws probably don't want to see them turn into studs elsewhere but will they have to sacrifice the season for it? And if they traded them, they'd need to send salary to get someone good back...who do you dump with them?

It is still early maybe they earn some trust over time. The FO has earned some trust though for sure.

Doesn’t have to be a max player.

Could deal both for a guy like Myles Turner. They could do that today.
