    Even when KD misses, it is two thirds of the way down and then the wind blows it out

    Remember Warriors couldn’t guard Bari. Few teams could when he was on. If he plays like this consistently Houston will be hard to stop offensively

    I’m starting to understand why Draymond punched Poole in the mouth.

    Bari is just abusing the Pelicans guards.

    The Warriors after that series heaped praise on Bari, which was odd, since he was treated like a role player.

    Both Draymond and Kerr went out of their way to praise him.

    The most awkward part of the team so far has been KD. Hasn't really found his spots and hasnt been amazing on D.

    Eason has not been good tonight
    Edit: never mind, he just made 4 good plays in a row.

    Still has a lot of gravity though. It will take some time for him to adjust and the team to adjust to his presence. Not really surprising.

    Not good shooting but he is doing great defensively which is what is expected of him

    Durant is a cheat code.

    Watching Durant reminds me so much of Tmac’s post, mid range game. Durant is so much better of a shooter but it was one of my favorite plays to watch Tmac post and fadeaway, even if it wasn’t the most efficient. Just so smooth looking.

    KD just makes it look too easy when he gets a guy like Zion in isolation

    The Rockets top 6 is pretty dynamite.
