Summary

The Dubs' latest thumping came at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, I would say the Thunder have GSW's number, but most of their problems were in the effort department. Seemingly no one except David West even tried to stay in front of Russell Westbrook, while 25 turnovers—most of them live-ball and many of them plays of insanity—fueled OKC's fast break. Kevin Durant was mostly good but took only 14 shots due to the turnovers and didn't have much backup last night. The difference in Offensive and Defensive Rating numbers on Basketball Reference and NBA.com is the subject of this week's Statistical Deep Dive. Going forward, I will utilize Basketball reference for individual ORtg and DRtg, while utilizing the NBA's stats website for team ORtg and DRtg. The differences in the stats on both websites are broken down in the second segment. In the third segment, I look at the bigger picture for the Warriors, including the chance that they will go into the playoffs without the no. 1 seed. Other topics include Kristaps Porzingis' ACL tear (and who should replace him in the All-Star Game), and Patrick McCaw taking a G-League sabbatical. Kevin Durant hurt his left hand and is questionable for tomorrow's game against the Mavericks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What can I really say about this game? First time this season that the Warriors have lost

0:43.0

back-to-back games, but this one just felt ugly in every way, hopefully the wake-up call that

0:49.0

the Warriors need. And we're going to talk about that in the first segment. You know, go over

0:54.0

this game bit by

0:55.2

bit and see what went wrong and uh you know the ways in which the Oklahoma City Thunder

1:02.3

you know punched the Warriors in the mouth I mean because it was a lot of lot of punching

1:07.2

honestly from from three from Paul George from Russell Westbrook especially.

1:14.5

And the game plan, you know, their game plan worked clearly, you know, run people off the line,

1:21.6

make sure that Clay Thompson and Stefan Curry don't get off from three, allow Kevin Durant to do what he wants to do,

1:28.9

but just kind of funnel all the other shots to other people.

1:33.4

It worked for them, you know, and nothing worked for the Warriors last night,

1:37.1

and we'll get into that.

1:38.7

We're going to do our statistical deep dive,

1:41.1

1:46.0

basketball reference website and the NBA.com website, some very stark differences there,

1:53.1

especially regarding defensive, offensive, offensive ratings, pace, some other things.

1:57.7

So I'm going to look into that, and then we're just going to end on what is going
