During the offseason, when Monta Ellis and Marcus Camby left, it was widely believed that the Warriors' immediate combat strength would be somewhat affected.
It's not fatal, but it would definitely have some impact.
As a result, this season, the Warriors started off quite strong.
In the second game of the regular season, the Warriors easily defeated the transitioning Spurs. The Warriors directly hit a super climax of 41-17 in the third quarter, causing Popovich to choke on his water for quite some time when drinking at the end of the third quarter, and spilled water everywhere.
Charles Barkley elegantly referred to it as: "Craig experienced the ultimate climax and then spray, believe me, Roger absolutely has this ability."
In the third game, the Warriors again took down the Denver Nuggets led by the fully evolved Anthony, ultimately winning by 16 points.
The names on this list of victims continue to grow.
Knights, Jazz, Mavericks with Kidd, Pistons, Clippers, Raptors...
