Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Crazy thing about the rebounding is that Clippers were actually worse with their bigs on the floor.
Zubac only had 3 boards in 17:12. Morris only had 1 in 25:02. They were only Clippers who, when they were on the floor, Warriors grabbed 30% of their offensive rebounds or better. – 2:53 AM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Short-handed and needing to get their bearings, the Clippers ran into a red-hot Steph Curry in their opener — and almost stole one in San Francisco. ocregister.com/2021/10/21/cli…2:39 AM

Draymond on Steph: “He didn’t miss a shot today in shootaround. So we kind of knew it was coming. But he could have missed every shot in shootaround and I still would have known it was coming.” – 2:20 AM
Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA
In the Warriors current situation (needing to maximize Steph while he’s still unstoppable), I see trading for Ben Simmons kinda like trading for PG was for the Clippers. Clippers “overpaid” because the situation called for it. Think Warriors in similar situation. – 2:17 AM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Took a quick look at the 11 possessions the Clippers failed to score on between 10:36 and 4:27 tonight. Definitely a few shots that weren’t high-percentage — floaters by Luke and Justise, PG falling away over Porter — but many of the wide-open looks LAC would ideally want. – 2:14 AM

Looking over the #NBA75 list, it looks like Dwight, T-Mac and Paul George are the only 3 guys with 6 or more All-NBA nods to not make the team. 5 of PG’s 6 selections are 3rd team selections, so I can see people discounting that, but T-Mac and Dwight both deserved it. – 1:47 AM

Stephen Curry’s 45 points. Eight 3s. His shooting is beautiful, but his off-ball game is grimy. Total lack of complacency in his game. Lot of hard screens for his teammates to force tough switches from defenders tonight. And obviously, some of the ball skill is obscene. pic.twitter.com/7EWsWp3McC1:14 AM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Offense was tough for Clippers in second half. Terance Mann made all three of his shots. Rest of team was 14/47 from field after halftime (29.8 percent)
LAC free throw rate was woeful, particularly with the only 3 guys to take 10+ FGs combining to attempt 3 FTs vs 58 FGs 😬 – 1:01 AM

Biggest takeaway from GSW/LAC is the Clippers are still really good, especially with their small units. Bledsoe looks like he’ll help them – 12:41 AM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Warriors win it 115-113.
Steph finishes with 45 –25 of which came in 1st quarter
16/25 from the field, 8/13 from beyond the arc, 5/5 from the free throw line. 10 rebounds and an assist in 37 minutes. – 12:41 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Zubac executes the missed free throw better than DeMarcus Cousins did in WCF … but Clippers couldn’t handle it for a clear look.
Golden State is 2-0, Clippers 0-1 after 115-113 decision here at Chase Center.
Curry finishes with 45 points after 25-point first quarter. – 12:40 AM

Steph Curry’s night: 25 first quarter points to stake the Warriors a huge lead, quiet couple quarters as the Clippers rolled back, two mega 3s and a pair of clutch free throws to seal it. Curry finishes with 45 points. Warriors are 2-0. – 12:40 AM

That Green layup may have iced this game. Clippers had to foul there with Green struggling at the line.

Iguodala limping, and so is Clippers offense. 9-0 Warriors run, as Clippers have missed 10 shots in a row. Golden State leads 99-98 with 5:53 left and Clippers on a 4:43 scoring drought – 12:20 AM

It’s wild that Warriors are down at half after shooting 61.5 percent from the field.

Steve Kerr on the rearranged roster: “I thought the other night was an example of what will happen when teams blitz (Steph Curry). We’ve got a lot of weapons. Not just shooters but passers. We scored 121 points on a night when Steph went 5 of 21.” – 8:25 PM

Kerr on the Top 75, and if Klay & Draymond were snubbed: “How do you differentiate? Seems like there are 50-60 guys who are automatic and then you’re just – pick one.
“I think those guys are top 75 based on winning, two-way basketball, everything that matters more than stats.” – 8:19 PM
