Warriors give up 69 points to Portland in the first half and lose

These games at the starting weeks aren't that much significant compared to what happens during the midseason or later on. But gotta give tiago splitter some credit for leading the blazers to a win. And i'm expecting the dubs to be an average-winning team this season, considering their aging veteran lineup. They'll have a hard time against young, contending teams along the way.

Could be. Looks like they're handling the Wolves today in dominant fashion; a team they lost to in the playoffs last year (w/out Curry).

Missed the game but Kuminga 10 rebounds. Loving it. I wrote him off but he might be finally getting it.

I get the sense as well. First time in 5 years I see him hustling on defense.

Maybe playing hardball with him in the off-season (including potentially injuring his standing with other teams to the point he didn't get a great competing offer) worked.

For a long time he thought the Warriors were being unfair with him about not playing team ball and both sides, now he realizes the whole league sees him that way.

I want to see better perimeter defense from him, and moving around screens.
