Unacceptable blown coverage at the POA. These blowby's have been wild to see all night long.

ATO going nowhere is saved by JK's offensive rebound and assist to Steph for the 4-pt. play

Biggest elephant in the room so far this the season for the Dubs: transition defense, or lack thereof.

Warriors at the half @ POR

ORTG: 103.7
DRTG: 125.5

Dubs coughing up possessions and overall just wasting them, coupled with the Blazers having a hot shooting night.

Also, they are continuing to get next to nothing from their SG rotation (Podz, Buddy, etc.)

That Draymond post-up was awful but I'd argue it was equally awful that Steph and Jimmy were fine just watching it happen like a car crash in slow motion.

JK with a full lane to cut is a dangerous sight.

There's no reason to play fast *every* possession especially when you're on the back end of a B2B. Slow things down and make sure to get a good shot.

Again, testing Hansen in drop coverage. Trayce sets the screen high to create space for Steph.

Warriors | "Thumb Out" ATO

Ballscreen then "touch" action for Steph with Trayce. Trayce rescreens to set Steph free for the three with Hansen in drop.

Taking note of inverted ballscreens for Draymond being set at the free throw line.

Blocked shot but good cut by JK, timed perfectly when Jimmy Nash dribbles along the baseline.

Warriors (2-0) are taking on the Trail Blazers (0-1) tonight.

Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

Steph with a brilliant counter to Braun grabbing and top-locking him.

Gets into the paint and comes up the gut screen by Horford for the three.

Off-ball brilliance.

Kerr with the decision to put Draymond on Jamal Murray so they can switch the Murray-Jokic PnR pays dividends. Overtime.

Warriors | "Twirl"

Buddy setting the shuffle screen, coming off of Horford, drawing two, finding Horford in the slip. THJ has to step up and Horford finds Richard underneath. Good action.
