    I think you're confusing having reasonable expectations with hate.

    Nothing like a 40 point shellacking at home on opening night to get the fan base roaring!

    with 6 minutes left in the game, Grant-Simons-Ayton had taken 42 of Portland's 81 shots. And Portland was down by 25 points

    Ant is the only one worth his contract between those three.

    I can't say that there was even one player tonight whose performance I felt good about.

    How is that an anti-blazer "toxic agenda" to point out that the Warriors are looking a LOT better because they're playing a shitty team?

    It's called reality. The team is predicted to win under 22 games. They have no offensive flow, their defense is only marginally better than last year, and they have like 3 shooters.

    Game's broken. His instincts are non-existent. No real good sense of when to drive, when to shoot, when to pull up, how to balance the floor or get back on defense.

    I just watch him and I'd feel better if he was a blank slate.

    Maybe Camara, at least for a half. Hit the 2 early 3s and did a good job defending Steph until everyone else's defense broke down and pulled him down with them.

    I don't even know how good the Warriors are after that beat down. I just know that we're really really bad... but I did already know that going into the game.

    Cronin and his draft express buddy better be scouting in Russia or somewhere because this team needs a lot.

    About the only prospect I’m high on is Sharpe and maybe Rupert.

    The biggest issue Scoot has is that he's so used to being the best player against mediocre talent. And he hasn't shown that he's changed his game, at all, because he's going up against taller, smarter and stronger players.

    He makes such poor and predictable passes. His shot selection is Summer league worthy. He doesn't really appear to have worked on anything in his game.

    It's no surprise to me that the only game he looked even remotely good was against some 3rd rate team from Germany.

    i think all of the problems are stemming from his lack of a shot (both confidence and defenses sagging off him).
