woyas look pretty bad when they don't hit 3s like today, but that isn't going to be a trend obv. oboards and lack of rim protection is likely to be an ongoing weakness if they aren't dialled in. should be fixable if they get the wings helping a bit more, esp durant
there was a lot of talk of the woyas lacking energy and what not-- not sure this is quite what you mean by dialed in-- but i don't think it was that. just a lot of bad execution on both ends and a lot of missed shots by people (excluding curry/durant). green shot ok overall i guess, but a lot of his buckets came when the deficit was large. irregular flow on the offensive end, esp when curry was out. think they got pretty good looks though, just shot poorly from 3. initial shot d was ok maybe, but the rebounding was terrible. duncan/leroux pointed out that even when they had #s in the rebounding area aldridge still got the board due to failed box outs.
ultimately the starters being out of sync was not surprising, but it was obv not the reason for that kind of margin. bench got run and then some. don't remember the lineups specifically at this point but i think the livingston/clark combo may never appear again

regardless can be a lot of fun if you like watching high level bball played, which won't happen exclusively among the top few teams. there are at least a dozen bona fide studs in the league right now plus a number of players on the come up
edit: if kerr is really willing to experiment as he says he will play mcgee and see if they can make him somewhat useful. he'll prob just roll out varejao though
