watched a few minutes of denver the other night and am still having nightmares about it. how has aaron gordon improved again?! we need our aaron gordon trade to really take the leap in the luka era. right now, we're jokic/murray pre-gordon/kcp. we need those types of pickups (i think this is similar to what svtzr was saying elsewhere). but watching denver just dismantle the steph-less warriors (in fairness, that's not that hard) just confirmed for me the gap between us and den/okc. i think we can play against pretty much anyone else and have a shot at winning a series. but not those teams. not right now.
GSW got waxed by OKC tonight: afraid the Warriors didn't make OKC run enough to tire 'em for our BTB w/them, but you can't have it all. Draymond was 3/2/4 in 22 mins and afterward told the press the team isn't interested in winning. Earlier in the day he was on a podcast and defended Nico in a sort of deranged argument, but basically he went on for 7 mins defending Nico because we haven't seen Kyrie playing with those guys.
lol, i wouldn't say i was defending nico yesterday, but i do think that AD and kyrie both being hurt for basically the whole time since the trade made it impossible to really evaluate his vision. i still think it was the wrong choice even if dallas was good and healthy, but it's made to look even worse because they've had all the injuries (lively/gafford in addition to those two).
So happy DLO is not our problem anymore. Also, wish Sochan would just smack donkey across that fugly mug.
