Best game of Stephen Curry's career, bar none. He exhibited high-level playmaking against a good team for the first time, scored 30 points on 19 shots, and recorded his seventh straight 6+ rebound night, to boot... he's averaging 7.7 boards over that span. I am not yet drinking the "superstar" Kool-Aid, but it's starting to catch my eye when I browse the metaphorical basketball food product aisle.
Also, watching Anthony Morrow shoot threes is the purest joy in Warriors fandom. Also, good job, Nellie! You turned Biedrins into an airballin' pile of Jell-O. Also, nice to see the Dubs launching 24 times from three-point land. It only took them 57 games to realize they should play like underdogs. Other than that, nothing to see here... this was the moderately big home loss one would've expected.
The Warriors lag four games behind their pace from last year, and have now slipped a game behind the pace of the '04-'05 team, whose Baron-fueled season-ending hot streak started in game #57. Eric Musselman's teams never dipped nearly this low. In fact, the last time the Dubs fell to 16-41, Brian Winters was on the bench. So while it may be fun to dream on Curry and his fellow young 'uns, let's be clear about what we're seeing here. This is the most incompetent Warriors team in eight seasons.

Man - things are looking quite desperate. I've developed an apathy towards this team that I don't think I've ever had.
In any case, you of all probably appreciated the irony in Nelson's statement while calling out Biedrins; saying something along the lines of him 'only giving us rebounding' or some such nonsense.
Amazing.
You laugh so you don't cry. Biedrins is no All-Star, but if we sell low on him to placate a 70-year-old lush, this blog will drown in a sea of profanities.
