It's kind of eerie.

- A middling offensive team that played terrible defense. #1 pace in the league.

- Coached by Don Nelson, who in many ways preached what Luke currently preaches minus the defense.

- A young Steph Curry whose production was inhibited by Monta/Maggette/CJ Watson similar to how DLO has been limited by Lou/Young/Clarkson (though at least Steph got 36mpg even in that ball-dependent lineup).

- Useless veterans a la MozDeng taking up minutes in the form of Maggette, Mikki Moore, and Devean George.

- No strong defensive post presence. Ronny Turiaf was their Tarik Black/Trob.

- 26-56 record (seems to be about where we will land)

- Led to Warriors drafting a useless player (Udoh), not unlike the possibility that we lose our pick.

- Also marked a watershed moment in the transition from Monta/Jackson/Magette ball to Steph and eventually Steph/Klay ball. Luckily for us we might already have our "Klay" in Ingram.
