    Simons looks a lot more confident on the floor. The results are still mixed though.

    35% is a reasonable three point threat.

    Does anyone else think Curry couldn’t have done what he did with the teams that Dame has had?

    He’s like the little brother you let play with you and the big boys. Clearly he’s out of place.

    I like Wiseman but Kerr is not wise leaving him out there on a blowout game

    I think his confidence is his issue. Still makes kind of silly mistakes, both offensively and defensively, but there was some improvement.

    He just need burn and confidence.

    Overall two players got hot on offense and there was some decent defense at times but the warriors miss some open 3 so still the defense is not there a lot weak area to correct.

    I didn't think any of those guys were career 35% 3pt shooters. Maybe we got the best out of them afterall! I love them all, I'm happy!

    Could we seriously not find another guy who actually has the potential to turn into a player?

    He could have done what Dame did with Dame’s teams. No way he comes close to winning titles with Dame’s team.

    Thanasis Antetokoumpo.

    Kostas Antetokoumpo has a spot on a team his brother isn’t even on, but we know why he has it.
