KD just hasn’t looked special since he came back from that ankle injury last season.

His dribble is loose, he’s not money from mid-range and he doesn’t seem to have the same lift on his shot anymore.

His first four or so games with us last year he looked like the efficiency beast he’s always been, but in the playoffs, preseason and tonight he just looks like he’s lost multiple steps.

Yes, it’s early. But this was noticeable last year in the playoffs also.

That dunk attempt by GP2 was good reffing. He extended his right arm, so they didn't call the contact when Eubanks extended his arm. They played together in college too.

CP3, Payton and Klay a combined 1-15.

After giving up on watching the Phillies playing like garbage, switched over to the Suns game... just in time to watch them playing like garbage. Geez.

Booker passes to Durant and it's two.

Warriors came out with the defend home mentality - the we ain't done yet mentally - the we did it without Durant mentality

Good news is our starters - I think they can swing the momentum at anytime - turn a Golden State 5 point lead into a 10 point Suns lead - type of play Golden State used to be known for

I ain't scared and I don't need to lead by 20 at all times - I do like Vogel's use of the time outs

Book staying low with his dribble - crouched over like with his arms out - like he's protecting his dinner

Okogie gets 2 points on a cut to the basket for his first points.

Nurk and Book being out there makes a big difference. Hopefully we get Beal out there in game 2 so we can start to see the full arsenal.

That's the one thing that I've always not liked about Steph. Suns have all the momentum and he forces up a terrible shot leading to a layup at the other end.

Booker is almost automatic.

A center that knows how to play around the basket. I like it.

Okogie plus 1. Suns can score in a hurry.

I'm not into conspiracy theories - or flat earth - but I'm legit convinced aliens exist and there are two Klay Thompsons
