Game Notes
-
“It all comes with the caveat of, “It’s preseason, but.” It’s preseason, but the Warriors ran up a 53-point lead on the Clippers. It’s preseason, but Durant and Thompson combined to outscore the Clippers at the half — by 10. It’s preseason, but this juggernaut already looks fearsome as popularly imagined.” — Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN
-
“With this new lineup, if they trap Curry, that leaves Durant one-on-one. And helping on him gives open looks to Thompson and Green. The other option is to not trap Curry, which will lead to the same results that prompted the trap in the first place. Again: how can this team be guarded?” — Marcus Thompson, Mercury News
