    Happy that CJ is hitting good, but Damian still seems to be off.

    Love the start but we all know that the Blazers can’t hold a big lead

    Wow. Steph might as well have had a open lane to a free layup on that play.

    Kanter Melo....

    So nice to have a guy like Kanter off the bench to punish smaller front courts.

    Can Melo at least look like he’s trying? At least Kanter makes up for the buckets he gives by dominating the offensive glass. Melo might as well be a ghost on defense.

    These GS announcers are idiots. That was the best defense we've played on Curry in 5 yrs.

    Not bad for a guy who makes no adjustments.

    Until Kanter Melo came in and Curry started hunting Kanter on every play. Melo is useless on help defense.

    Starters need to extend this lead when they come in. I’m holding my breath when the second unit is in.

    His playmaking has been better this year. He's had generally better shot selection and has made the right decision on whether to shoot or pass than he has in past seasons. If he's 7 for 22 but takes the right shots and makes the right passes, then I can't complain about the way in which he played, because players will have cold-shooting nights but we can't really afford for him to not put pressure on the defense.

    Warriors might have the worst announcers in league, if I hear “hesi” one more time!
