Don Nelson Would Be Proud, Golden State Warriors Move to 8-2

There was once a time when after a performance like the Golden State Warriors threw out there Sunday night, each player and coach would bemoan the lack of preparation, discount the win itself as even good, and provide the necessary changes for a better future. That past was not so distant ago, stretching across the Mark Jackson and the championship Steve Kerr seasons as those teams relied on defense as a calling and trump card in one. But if Warriors fans could just walk back a little further, there was one coach that would salvage and drink in what Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green accomplished against the Phoenix Suns in a closer than it looked 133-120 finish.
