Pretty great Draymond Game, FYI.

Defended Durant the whole time, 10 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, +13 in 35 essential minutes.

Helluva Warriors win, after some dispiriting losses.

No
Tanking

NBCSBA hates when I say things like this, but ... uhh, would've been nice to actually have the camera on that Durant free throw.

The TV Announcer lives to scream that you have to foul up 3.

I'd agree in this instance, because there's so little time left.

But a pretty big one at the end.

Not great moments for Melton down the stretch.

Oops, Cryper in for Melton. That's gotta be mandated minute-count for Melton.

And Horford was just in for the jump ball! Lol.

Horford at 31 minutes, Melton at 28. Does Kerr just push in the chips with both veterans into OT? Would think so, unless there are medical reasons.

Options would be Post and Spencer, who haven't been good tonight.

Horford has a good faceoff % tonight.

Sengun is scoring, but still weird to think the Rockets have Durant and he hasn't really touched the ball down the stretch.

Some of that is Draymond's defense, of course.

Draymond + Horford is a pretty dynamic defensive frontline right now

Durant back in, Draymond back in.

Same thing Kerr did with Kawhi. This is a natural evolution for Draymond's role. He's absolutely necessary when he's guarding an A-1 scorer. Maybe not so much when not.

The flip side:
-Pat Spencer -18 and getting whomped on defense
-Quinten Post -12 and can't hold onto the ball

Full Gui Santos Experience so far in this game.
2 incredible floaters
1 spin-o-rama through Durant
4 wild turnovers
14 points, 1 rebound
+18 in 26 minutes

Barrows had to carry this episode with his co-host fighting off "whatever it is that's going around," as my friend just said.

That's it exactly. I'll be fine.

Agree

And "sort of squint and see" ... they beat the 2 seed in the first round, including Game 7 in Houston. Then they won Game 1 in Minnesota -- but Curry got hurt.

I don't think you needed to look THAT hard to see some quality in the Warriors last season.

Uhh, Curry and Butler are injured, so, yes, if you don't count those two, it's not a good team.

But I still count them.

Who’s Nate Williams? Meet the Warriors player pushing for a coveted roster spot Golden State collapsed in the second half against the Los Angeles Clippers, but a two-way guard made a strong impression on Steve Kerr.

He’s been waived four times. A Rochester kid in Napa. His G League coach thinks he’s a “dog.” It was a blessing, not a burden, to play 4 games in as many days.

Get ready to learn Nate Williams, whose viral moment last night could be a beginning, not a blip:

"how do they score without the 2-way guy on the floor?" is probably not a great omen

60-33 Clippers in the second half so far. Whooooosh.

Melton + Podziemski + Moody have combined for 2 total points in the second half.

Water got shut off.

Several I-don't-want-the-ball-anymore GSW turnovers here.

Post's 3 changed to a 2.

It's 11-2 LAC to start the fourth.
