    Since the slow 6-5 start with new coach and players, we're 23-4 or winning at an 85.2% pace.

    GSW for the season? 83.8%

    We're doing fine, and if we keep this up another couple of months, we can drop the 'surprising' and just be contenders!

    That is insane. 23-4 is pretty good by any ones standards.

    MK has some solid insights.

    I agree that this team really struggles when opposing teams put a strong defender on Harden and they can keep our 3 point shooters honest. This is where having a post presence would have really helped.

    We are surprising contenders because of our sneaky athleticism.

    Thanks, great stuff. A bit noisy in the background but good observations.
    Would be interesting to hear your thoughts about how to deal with good PicknRoll defending teams.
    Seems like it's our only move and it works so can't complain. But maybe we can utilize some different sets from the elbow like Dantoni used to do with Phoenix, just to add versatility to our offense.
    Who will be our best player to do that? You think Anderson can be the one to operate from there?

    I can't believe the level of turnaround this team has made.

    The ball movement is better, the defense is better, the shooting is better, the cutting is better, the energy is better....heck we even turn the ball over less as a team (maybe Harden is getting all the turnovers and just saving a few for Corey).
