Stating the obvious, but Houston really needs a shot maker. I could see them taking a chance on Durant.

Steph hot, Thomson ailing...I think we'll be seeing the Warriors on Tuesday night.

Ant vs Steph, Rudy vs Draymond, Target Center vs Jimmy

I can't wait!

Yup, looking that way. Houston just can't generate offense. Draymond/Looney have totally neutralized Sengun and Jalen Green is just not good enough to be a playoff-level scoring guard. There is only so much VanVleet can do.

Kinda why I wanted Houston. I never saw a world where the Wolves would lose because Jalen Green came alive or FVV went nuts and if he did, the Wolves can pivot. Golden State is older but they still got #30.

I'm not sure there's a smarter team out there than them with Steph, Draymond and Jimmy. We'll need to be at our best.

Podziemski is doing his best to keep the crowd in the game. How many open looks will he miss?

Question for you and others: Do we blitz/trap/double Curry and get the ball out of his hands knowing that he no longer has Klay or Durant around to punish us or do we use the Jokic/Doncic/Durant strategy from the last couple of years and accept some big games from him, but try to snuff everyone else out?
