Close to terrible, nothing even close to Boston. You guys will go in a three point contest with gsw, and youll never beat them like that bc theyll always out shoot your guys

the difference is that boston's combating the warriors's #1 strength, which is their pace. we slow down the game immensely (hence why we've allowed over 100 once during this 14 game win streak), and it takes away their flow.
 
Houston just tries to out-Warriors the Warriors, and thats just not gonna fly

But to be just fair and all, the Warriors should have gotten Durant the ball more in that 4th quarter. Jaylen was balling out defensively on him, but he's still Kevin Durant
Was it Jaylen on KD on defense most of the fourth? Cause the C's defense is extremely impressive, especially the defense on KD

It's November 16th and the two best teams have yet to give a shit.
 
 
Probably not the time to be crowning anyone.

Sprinkles of Marcus (both Smart and Morris) but mostly Jaylen. Dude's played great defense on KD, Giannis, and Lebron this season. Huge growth for a 2nd year, and a serious MIP contender

That's just damn good coaching. Rockets should play slow and just let the 3s fly all game if they want to beat GSW

I'm impressed how strong he looked, KD couldn't back him down and get good looks

I'm sorry I forget sometimes that buckets are worth more in the fourth

Ill agree that Houston are Warriors lite, but thats exactly what falls right into their hands

You cant expect to play their style and out shoot them. Just not enough firepower, simple as that

A lot of it is coaching, that you look at how Jaylen and Smart play defense and they just wedge themselves onto their matchup and legally take away all their space to move. But Jaylen grew and bulked up this summer, apparently is 6'8"/6'9" and 240lbs... dude's just so raw so far. The poach steal and breakaway dunk he had on Curry early in the game was filthy
