    Crazy reaction from Steph and Draymond when Durant wanted the shot.

    Pretty sure that outside the come back win that sequence was the story of the game. Everyone saw it. Kind of funny honestly, but it's not that big of a deal in the Warriors locker room.

    Good for draymond. It's good to have a guy who lights you up for hero ball, too bad he didn't get into curry's chili the play before.

    Durant bringing OKC's late-game offense to the Warriors.

    To be fair, Durant 1 on 1 VS old Zach wasn't really a bad idea. I see this as a mismatch.

    I'm a lip-reader, and draymond just said he's gonna crush his nuts if he ever does that again.

    If you watch the highlights on NBA.com, Curry absolutely takes the play off. Even the commentator points out that Durant called for the ball and Curry was not happy so he just stood around doing nothing.

    It's obvious, there is friction between Durant's hero ball antics and the Warriors overall team philosophy. Still too early in the season to predict doom, but the chinks in the armor are showing. Come playoffs, this could be exploited by a smart defense. Double down on making life hell for Curry and force Durant to handle the ball and run the offense. This will be the blueprint to defeat the Warriors.

    Steph's reaction when he has to give up the ball before Durant's miss says it all.

    This is how you win the chip, remember Horry, Kenny Smith, Max hitting all those shots, or in Chicago, Paxson, Armstrong etc....great players that WIN trust their teamates in big moments.

    Chemistry is underrated. Accepting and knowing your role is even more underrated.

    So, who is the alpha dog for the Warriors? Having a team full of superstars is great, but there can only be one alpha dog. Bird for the Celtics, Magic for the Lakers, Jordan for the Bulls, Wade and Bosh allowed Lebron to be the dog in Miami.

    Seems like they are still trying to figure things out.

    Warriors 0-5 against Warriors, Rockets, Grizz and Spurs.

    Thinking Durant is seeing Harden and Westbrook getting love and wants to keep up. Can't do that with GSW.

    when the crowd chanted to Curry "MVP,MVP" ,Durant lost interest in playing teamball. Makes everyone here appreciates having Brewer over Divarant
