Game 23: Golden State Warriors (15-8) 128 - Toronto Raptors 131 (19-4)

[S.R.]

Is the GS midrange a year over year trend or is it just because Curry's been out?

[golden]

Yes. He still the same player.

LeBron
Curry
Kawhi

That my top 3 since 2015.

Kawhi is not the same player, yet. His 3-pt shot is missing. That means this team still has another level or 2, or 3.

[Other Scott]

You guys are really underrating Kevin Durant. He's not in a lower tier of anything.

We don't rate snakes.

His 3pt percentage is down because he`s taking more difficult 3s. Off the dribble, stepback 3 etc. In the past he was just a spot up 3pt shooter.

The 2nd thing. Durant is back to 2010 thunder Durant. Klay never ever drives anymore and takes a fair chunk of midrange too. Add Livingston getting more minutes and all of a sudden you've got a team going the opposite way of the trend it started

And he said this himself actually.

Where?

WhereÉ

I think it was the Espn interview someone posted in one of the threads. Maybe this one, but he said that he trying more things with his three point shot. He said its easy to hit the 3 at a high percentage when it's catch and shoot but he's taking more off the dribble 3's and he believes he'll start hitting it like he did before. He said you gotta keep shooting it to get better and he's going to continue shooting it. This was after the interviewer asked him if there is a reason he's only shooting 33% on 3's this year when his career number is 38%.

Wish we could watch the TNT feed instead of the same old crew.

[Scraptor]

Checklist for tonight:

-Kawhi shuts down KD
-Danny chases Klay into a poor %
-Kyle sons Quinn Cook
-JV dunks on Jonas Jerebko for having the same name as him
-we beat them so bad either Kerr or Dray get a tech from the bench

Here's my two cents on whether this is a "regular season" game. It's a super fun game but I don't know that we can think of it as more than that. Basketball is too variable for any one game to mean anything. They played them to the last basket twice last year. We smoked Cleveland on ESPN long before the sweep. These teams (or at least one of them) are going to look a lot different in June. Just enjoy the game. If they win, awesome. If they lose, it'll suck but there'll be another game soon.
