    We can always deal Mo if needed (if CJ shows he can really get buckets).

    Do we always have b2b home and home against the Kings? Seems like every season it happens.

    Mo looked so much better on offense in the preseason, but right now he's just completely worthless.

    Damn. Curry-less Warriors only score 74 against SA.

    His shot isn't falling but it's not like he is being careless with the ball turnover wise.

    Him jacking up shots with 20 on the clock and Lopez not ready down low is pretty much the equivalent of a turnover.

    He has 5 assists and has only taken 3 shots at the half. I'll take that any night.

    And, being the next Steph Curry (hopefully, without the injuries) would not be a bad thing.

    If you look at all the preseason and regular season games, he has actually been very careless with the ball.

    Perhaps the NBA's trying to create a rivalry. Haha

    I expect them to cool off in the second. They're not shooting an outrageous percentage, but they're taking a lot of medium looks - especially Cousins.

    I don't think he's that type of point guard. He's not a Jason Kidd, but he's doing pretty damn good so far. 5 dimes, 4 boards to go with 9 points?

    Yes but those shots will eventually fall more regularly eventually IMO. He has a lot of confidence which is something we haven't had off the bench since Crawford.

    Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sac and GS added to the NW division in the future.

    The kings look like a mesh of talent that will click some nights and look amazing then other nights be blown out by 50. I'm just not sure what to make of them.

    Yeah, but when CJ comes back, is that what we need? We need a point guard to play with Lillard and to run the second unit. Not convinced at this point that Mo can do that.

    I get the feeling that CJ isn't going to be shy, either.

    Some of those assist opportunities were created by Batum and Mo Williams, not to mention his assists on the season are down (So far).

    What's really strange to me is that Batum seems to be the one setting up the offense most of the time. Nic is a good playmaker, but does Stotts believe is a better playmaker than Damian? Something to think about.
