    I was just about to post the same thing. This needs to be a huge reality check for this team. Defense fucking matters.

    Why does Golden State win games easily (well, last year)? Not just because of the 3's, but because they actually play defense.

    I'm thinking Dame should get in a couple peoples' faces tonight... there was a noticeable lack of effort from most of the team.

    Let's go on a run, cut it to 10, and save face.

    Why should this be a reality check when the Warriors are not playing in this reality?

    Aminu man, when are you going to realize the 3 pointer is just not your shot.

    Guys not named Dame or CJ are 1-13 from 3. Not going to work no matter who we play. That's a lot of wasted possessions and makes it easier on the defense to load up on Dame.

    Did I get Clark's name wrong? It's the Blazers, so Random Scrub is going to score 30.

    I'm talking about the Warriors. Unless they all fall into the sea and drown they're going to win 75 games.

    It just seems like the defensive communication this year is almost nonexistent. Players are always a half step slow to switch, to contest, to pick up each others man. It looks like everyone is blaming everyone else, hoping someone else will cover for their mistakes.
