    Raps were only ever in this game because they were incredibly hot from deep

    Subtract that from the equation and it would have been even more of a blowout

    I feel like we had been waiting for Jalen. It’s easy to miss his athleticism when everything is looking so clunky on offense. But there were so many games where Jalen was literally unplayable. The whole point of last year was to give him one more development year because we wanted to see if he could do it in the playoffs. He couldn’t. He was terrible in the playoffs.

    I think what you are actually missing isn’t Jalen, it’s the energy we played with last year on the defensive end. That fueled everything. We played with so much heart and it allowed us to run on the fast break and scrape by on offense. All of that energy is gone right now, it’s glaring. But we have so many good players that are being put in new positions. They need time. They are thinking too much right now. It will get better.

    It’s because Reed can’t guard one one one and so they have to run One everytime he’s in the game

    It’s how the Warriors guard nearly the entire game when Curry is in. If the game is close and it’s a defensive possession, the Warriors sit Curry and then bring him back for offensive possession.

    Reed and Curry are the same height… 6’2.

    I think we have the ability to really make the most out of Reed and I hope we’re able to because he could be an offensive threat for us.

    I just hope Ime and Stone know that needing to start Josh is a clear answer to the guard question. We need to trade for one. I know we can’t yet, but we should as soon as possible.

    Looks to be offensive game these days.

    Houston 124 ppg so far in 2025-26.

    Like it. Or not there trying to out score you.
    Warriors style of play?

    .500 ball now

    Can you blame them? Jalen taking 10+ more shots than KD to reach 30 points means there is more to watch. Duh.

    PWNED!

    How I feel about it, is that when watching Jalen, I would actively have to root for him because 1. I wanted him to do well and 2. In the back of my mind I always knew that even if he did, another valley would probably come after a peak…but maybe not this time!

    There’s something really engaging about that, at least to me, and I do miss the stress and palpitations to a degree for sure—because I got so used to it.

    I don’t need to be so hands on with my fandom this season, it almost reminds me of watching James and our great late 2010s Rockets teams. We’re likely gonna figure out a way to win, and our superstar will carry us home almost every time. We still do have a few kinks to work out, but imagine this team firing on all cylinders (and healthy). I’m pretty sure I won’t miss a thing at that point
