This Warriors team is 1st in Off/6th in Def. The minutes for all the role players has developed real depth. They are constantly cutting/defending. Can’t wait to see what they are like healthy. The way Steph has played these last two seasons has only added to his legacy

Steph gave the Hawks that work tonight dropping 50 piece wing dinner lemon pepper style!!! That dude is damn KILLER. Golden State are letting their play tell us exactly what they are trying to accomplish and that’s bring another Championship back to the Bay. Carry on…

Crazy: Warriors are 8-1 and top of the league in pretty much every stat.
Crazier: Klay and Wiseman haven’t played.
Craziest: Steph isn’t even playing well — lowest PPG in 7 seasons, shooting career-lows 42% and 37% from three.
Most craziest: Draymond has higher 3P% than Steph. https://t.co/6DmfJIyNxS
