On a night that looks entirely bright, I find myself looking at both sides now. And asking myself some hard necessary questions. The same hard necessary questions we’d be asking (even if more bitterly) had the W’s lost their 5th straight last night instead.
And the same questions the franchise as a whole should be asking itself. (And undoubtedly is asking itself.)
Quo vadis?
Last night’s outcome was as predictable as a W’s game against another middling team can be. Everything was aligned right. Steph was returning (most importantly). The W’s competitiveness the past few games had been assailed not just by observers, but Steph and Draymond themselves stepped up onto soap boxes to address the issue.
