Another thing no one really talking about, it's good to see Brandon RUSH return somewhat back to his former self.

I thought he was always good enough to be a productive player, it just took Barnes being out for him to get the minutes. Now that he's proved he can play again he's getting regular minutes

I predict Utah goes on a nice little run now that Favors is back
Win 6 out of 8 going into all star break (including today)

You must not really understand how hard it is to play transition defense. You have to protect the basket first, and then everyone has to match up the correct man. That was actually a 4 on 3 fastbreak, more Warriors were down the court than Mavs, so SOMEBODY has to be left open in order not to give up a layup. Curry just has enough basketball IQ to recognize that and take advantage
It was funny as hell watching that play out against San Antonio where San Antonio said fukk it and had somebody glued to Curry and ended up giving up a dunk because of it.

They were up 10 when I made that post. The spacing is better, there's more ball movement, Noel plays a hell of lot better, and their defense was doing well until the worth.

But I'll let you tell it and pretend that the 134th ranked player in defensive rebound percentage would have stopped Drummond and co from snatching those offensive boards. :mjpls:

All I'm saying is it happens too much.

Warriors are starting to make these teams look stupid.

Playing Defense isn't THAT hard
