Via the San Jose Mercury News:
Expectations shape reality, but for the Warriors, a new reality needs to shift their expectations.
The Baby Dubs — namely Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga — have thrived since the Warriors’ Christmas Day win over the Grizzlies, the first game of the team’s eight-game home stand. Following that win over Memphis with strong performances in the clutch against the Hornets, Jazz, and the Blazers have given the Warriors their first four-game winning streak this season.
For a team whose only intention with Steph Curry injured and out of the lineup was to keep its head above water — to win as many as it loses — this home stand is already a success.
But this is also a team that has found a new gear this past week, without Curry or do-it-all forward Andrew Wiggins.
It’s time for the Dubs to be greedy.
