Thibs being Thibs: keeps his starters on the floor for the last 6-7 minutes v. the Ws bench mob with his team down 20-25.
Not exactly a news flash that the Warriors are good, real good. If there's been a mild surprise through preseason and 12 games it's that Omri Casspi is a stud who was born to play Kerr-ball (flying around the court, hitting threes, making smart passes, slashing to the rim, switching and blocking shots like KD). But even that was pretty predictable if you watched him when he was healthy. It's pretty crazy that a 6'-9" 29 y.o. vet with his high hoops IQ and diverse, 21st century skillset couldn't find at least a full MLE contract somewhere.
McCaw, Bell and even Looney (still only 21) have all looked great, too, for anyone counting the days till the decline. Kerr's ability to keep playing and developing the young'uns while staying at the top of the heap seems in pretty sharp contrast to say, Doc's Clips or Blatt/Lue's Cavs. Of course, who knows how many of these guys they'll be able to keep around past their rookie deals, especially if they keep improving. They already declined the final option year of Looney's rookie deal in the interests of financial flexibility, despite being ecstatic with his play. And McCaw and Bell — potentially key pieces going forward as Andre, Shaun, and DWest age or retire — could both be tricky to extend, as second-rounders on short two-year deals.
Even if decline does not seem imminent (knock wood), when you consider the ages of Shaun, Andre, Steph and KD, plus all the cheap young talent that won't be cheap forever, plus impending extensions for Klay and Draymond, I think it's reasonable to surmise that this season's roster may be the absolute peak — for the Warriors and possibly any other franchise ever.
