You have to guard both Klay and Steph the instant they cross the half court line, and often Steph gets double teamed there. It's exhausting to say the least.

In the last two years I don't think I've ever seen a team pull the run'n'gun against the Warriors and have it work out well. Dis wut we do.

It will be interesting to see if any teams this year can figure out a way to play with the Warriors if they manage to stay healthy. It would be a terrible thing except that they are just so much fun to watch.

Or they'll just put up 9 straight, that is a thing that can happen as well.

He's been getting better. I'm still not sure what his niche on the team is, he's nowhere close to Dreymond, doesn't have any sort of range, and isn't anywhere close to an athletic big like Ezeli... but he's smoother than he used to be. I'm just not sure what the end game is there, mini draymond without a 3?

I'll respectfully disagree, he's bad. He also shoots 50% from the FT line.

Hornets only down 9 at the half, are without Al Jefferson, and Kemba has yet to score. Not too shabby.
