The Golden State Warriors are off to a strong start, with Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry leading the team. Jonathan Kuminga has made adjustments to his game, lowering his usage rate and focusing on defense and playmaking under Butler's mentorship. The team's early success has silenced some critics, but also sparked discussions about the impact of injuries and sports betting on the league.

"Steve Kerr (and his "haters") have spent the last several years begging him to play more like a 3&D role player/connector who crashes the boards. He finally does it in the 3rd Quarter after being his old ineffective self in the 1st and 2nd Quarter. Looks amazing while doing his Shawn Marion/Aaron Gordon thing. You know that archetype that he and his agent scoffed at publicly. And now "they" were right all along You know what whatever man. I'm glad we won. Let's keep it going #DubNation #5AndItsOver"

"#DumbNation is out in full force victory lapping Kuminga attempting to transform into exactly the player me and many of us all (including Steve Kerr) wanted him to. He literally dropped his usage from XX% to XX% Not only that he's doing so under the mentorship of Jimmy Butler exactly like I said in March. And they're acting like this is how he's always played. Even Draymond called it an evolution. They're really trying to rewrite history in real-time. Can't make this shit up. Incredible. Whatever we're winning.

"OK real talk. It's fun getting these jokes off but the integrity of NBA basketball has been sus for decades. This didn't help. All this sports betting everywhere has made it all worse. There's really just no way now for anyone to ever legitimately tell someone a game didn't feel "rigged." I've just seen too many games totally tilted by refs. Bracket out the prop bets I mean entire outcomes of games nudged and pushed obviously. Tim Donaghy was the canary in the coalmine here. It was going on before him and it's going on now after him. Scott Foster was Tim Donaghy's bestie. Why's he still"
