Holy cow! Steph was 4-11 from three. The rest of the Warriors were 0-11.

Claxton is one of the better rim protectors in the NBA ... but not that time on Kuminga! Claxton had 7 blocked shots against the Warriors in that game.
Kuminga is going to get some shots blocked, but he is fearless and is drawing a lot of fouls now.

If the Warriors make a trade today or tomorrow I hope it is for Claxton. Word is Brooklyn wants Moody (so does everyone except Kerr apparently) in any deal and I hope the Warriors don't trade Moody or Jackson-Davis.

Just watched the clip of Klay in the locker room after the game, having been benched for the final 6 minutes. Hard to watch.
Looked at the Klay tape. That was hard and sad...and real. Love Klay for his honesty. Hope he and Steph can get another championship together.

W's are on TV again tonight. This game, like the last one that was nationally televised, conflicts with the Cat's game. At least the women aren't playing tonight also. Need to get my multi-media set-up together for tonight. Go Cat's! Go Steph!

A player has made 11 or more 3 pointers 36 times in NBA history. Steph has 12 of them.

He has 8 at halftime tonight (8-9). I’m guessing he gets lucky #13 tonight. He has a chance to match or better Klay’s single game record of 14 made threes.

Steph has 9 threes, but GS has a big lead and he may not play any more tonight.

Steph played a little more. Ended up w 11 threes. He did miss a FT, after making well over 40 in a row.

Huge stats for Steph. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401585361

And a win. Almost back to .500 for the season.

The Pacers were double teaming him on several of those shots (the 6th make is ridiculous), and he still got them off from pretty much everywhere on the court. His shot is so quick that nobody can keep him from taking it.

Consecutive blowout wins for the Warriors on the road including the 76ers when Steph had an off scoring night. Wiggins finally playing better. Klay showing flashes of good play.

Every young player that Kerr has given a chance has played very well ... including Kuminga, Santos, Quinones, and Podziemski. The young players and Steph have led the recent better play. Anytime Wiggins, Draymond, and Klay also play well the Warriors are very good. The problem this season has been that good play from all three has been infrequent or absent (suspension) and Kerr has left them in games when they were hurting the team.

Kerr puts the best center on the roster in for 4 minutes last night after a DNP the night before. In those 4 minutes Trayce Jackson-Davis scores 6 pts, gets 2 rebounds, and gets a blocked shot at the rim. This kid can really play. He is better than Looney now. He is a better defender at the rim than Draymond now. He is a far better athlete than Saric. Kerr needs to play him much more ... now.

Kerr is showing signs of awakening ... but not fully awake yet. Reality is knocking at the door, Steve. As Wiggins plays better Kerr becomes the biggest obstacle for the team getting better. His management of Klay and his use of his talented young players will be key.

BTW, Steph made his 6th consecutive 3 with 3:19 to go in the 1st quarter. Kerr subs him out 37 seconds later interrupting yet another Curry Flurry. He has done this countless times in Steph's career. At least wait until he misses one or two shots then get him rest for goodness' sake!

Steve Kerr... The Best defender Steph has ever seen

Funny thing is Podz came (to the scorer table) earlier, Steph sent him to the bench. Kerr noticed next trip down and got pissed and told Podz to go back in.
Steph was annoyed. Read all the replies.
