Interesting article about Steph:

Inside the secret skill that fuels Stephen Curry's record-breaking career

As the ball changes hands at the top of the key, Curry, in the right corner, does something counterintuitive, something he hasn't done the entire possession. He stands still. Curry's second wind comes from his ability to rapidly lower his heart rate during short breaks, even in the middle of games. It's something he trains his body to do. Once he's out of breath at the end of most workouts, Curry lies on his back, and Payne, his trainer, places sandbag weights below his rib cage in order to overload, and train, Curry's diaphragm.

Through conditioning and breathing techniques like this, Curry can often coax his heart rate below 80 during one 90-second timeout. But here, when he goes flat-footed, straightens his back and flops his hands at his side as if to signal, I'm done, I give up, it's mostly a decoy. And it works. Because at this point, after chasing Curry nonstop all over the court, most defenders are begging for even a hint at a break. Do you ever stop? They often whisper to Curry. It's the best compliment he can get from an opponent, Curry says, even better than praise for his shooting. You're wearing me out. Stand still for a f---ing second.

Dubs have to stop starting the games with 0 energy and effort on defense

The first four offensive possessions had me yelling into my pillow

 

[Don Homer]

Again, ZERO reason to play Poole over mulder

 

[Don Homer]

another unwatchable game

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It is what it is, Utah is better at us in every position currently except PG..

When Klay come back it’s on sight

also seems like the refs got together and said we calling any and everything on GS..

You see it, I see it, we all see it... Hopefully Kerr will see it and have him in the second unit backing up Oubre

How do ya feel about role reversal with Oubre playing more with the 2nd unit instead of Wiggins? I feel if Wiggins has it going offensively like he did the 1st qtr tonight and the last game. Then go back to staggering Wiggins and Curry. So the 2nd unit can have better offensive punch; if the first unit going to get behind every game. If Kerr is so worried about staggering Oubre minutes with Curry because of spacing then he should be playing Mulder a lot more.

Yeah the Oubre thing isn’t working

How is Poole supposed to develop if he never gets on the floor? Poole had 10pts, 4 assists, 3 rebs, 2 stls, and was a +10 tonight. It looks like even when the kid plays well there's someone complaining about the guy. I really don't get it
