Warriors Might’ve Solved Their Biggest Problem
The Warriors just made a defensive statement — holding the Clippers to under 80 points for the first time since 2016. Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green outplayed Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac in a second-half suffocation that saw LA score just 30 points after halftime. Quintin Post stole the show with a plus-34 performance, knocking down four threes and proving why the Warriors desperately needed a stretch five. Harden went scoreless in the second half, Kawhi looked disengaged, and the Warriors improved to 4-1 with statement wins over Denver and now the Clippers. We break down the defensive dominance, Post’s breakout game, the starting lineup’s success, and what this means for Golden State’s identity moving forward. Is this the Warriors team we’ve been waiting for?

Yes gsw got lil better than last season for sure …
Kuminga has gotten so good, I almost don't want to trade him for Andrew Wiggins.
I’d like moody to take Podz spot in the starting line up.
don't forget the two back to backs in the first week…that was a factor in the win total
I can't remember a NBA game when there were only 12 foul shots taken 🤔
both teams couldn't shoot
First, there's no need to be consumed by Al Hortford. Yeah, he wasn't that good from 3, but he played an excellent defensive game. 2nd, people sleep on jimmy Butler's three point shooting , but he shot 35% or better from 8 to 9 seasons in his career. He's more than CAPABLE!!!
Evvvvvvvvvvvvv!
Clippers goin to clip.😂
You need to change it to the big four Steph, Draymond, Jimmy and JK!
I still think an all star level stretch 4 would do wonders for them but they’re looking good. Finding different ways to win, forcing the younger guys to step up. It’s looks good.
My ideal starting 5 is: Steph, Jimmy, Kuminga, Draymond and Horford. In that order!
