I really think the loss to the Curry-less Warriors deflated our team. We kept saying our bench was great, that we were deeper than last year etc. and I expected us to win on Christmas.
Lebron has mopped the floor with KD in years past and without Curry that day, MVP vs MVP, I always expect Lebron to come out on top...but he got his ass handed to him. People saying he didn’t care...Bull. Our record was still pretty close to theirs at that point and was a statement game that could’ve catapulted Lebron further ahead in the MVP rankings this year (something he seemed to be pushing for very hard)...but Kd balled out and Lebron came up short.
I feel that this team is just trotting along now and whatever happens, happens.
