Down 5 is a good result. If they can get back to normal in the second half they should be fine. Grant at the 5 was an effective lineup.

This game is a hell of a lot of fun. Sign me up for a Finals rematch.

Is there any other team that could put up 68 on us in a half? New Orleans maybe?

Sign of how good this team is that they can play probably a C+ half and be down only 5 to the defending champs who are a freight train at home. Hope they can bring it in the 3rd.

Curry is a great, great player. He's also a bit of an asshole on the court. I don't know what he's like off the court. Most churches are a little (edit: and obviously some are a lot) retrograde on the LGBTQ+ stuff. Churches and their congregations aren't monoliths, so I don't really hold people responsible for that kind of thing.

I don’t know. I’m a few too many cocktails deep and I am far from a basketball expert, but this feels more like a GS team that spent most of the half firing on all cylinders and is up 5 at home against a Celtics team that was staggering around like St. Vitus to Riders on the Storm in the Basketball Diaries.

Steph is Steph, and that’s nerve-wracking, but I still think we win this one, perhaps somewhat comfortably.

I hate the idea that could be a flagrant.... it's insane when it's basically a normal defensive attempt.

But that sadly is a flagrant foul.

Well if thats no longer a flagrant foul according to Scott Foster, it's time to do that every single time Steph leaves his feet.

I've never seen a defender playing a screener for Steph Curry sag more than Blake Griffin.

How is this the plan? Is he tired?

Grant hasn't been good. He really should have finished instead of kicking out to Jaylen on the travel call.
