No, different playing styles…Steph shooting ability made the system work. Opposing teams trapped/doubled Steph which lead to 4 on 3 opportunities and got Klay cleaner looks because defenders can’t leave Steph. Durant gets single coverage because leaving Steph is fatal.
Monta Ellis says the Warriors would’ve had the same success if he replaced Steph Curry on their championship teams. 👀
“If you switched me and Steph out with the team that won the championships, it'd be the same thing.”

The fact a federal judge had to step in to stop the Trump admin from destroying or altering evidence in the killing of Alex Pretti.
Crazy.
When the government kills a citizen and then tries to control the evidence, that’s fear of accountability.
Doing this would increase inequality in education, reduce funding for special education programs, weaken protection for vulnerable students and so much more. This nigga done lost his god damn mind
you were drafted at 18, by your hometown team as the #1 overall pick. In your debut game you had 25, 9 & 6. It’s not the same situation but it’s pretty damn close. Stop the BS

CC will be legendary when it’s all said and done but what guard on this roster is she CURRENTLY better than?
The current roster also went through training camp with each other back in April.

Go back to the grizz series, the one thing the wolves lacked was rim protection. The reason for the gobert trade. Tho I don’t fully agree with Rudy being the reason the wolves are in the position they’re in, with the emergence of Ant, the move added additional…(1/2)
Length, with an already lengthy team and KAT got to move back to the 4. This team kinda..kinda reminds me of 1996 bulls team, who can throw multiple bodies at their opponent’s star players and wear them down (2/2)
