You rarely see Curry gamble to get those steals too. It's usually off a deflection while staying in front of his man or an intercepted pass

That sequence last night. Steal, layup, steal, layup, 3, 3. A thing of beauty and the turning point in the game.

Curry's not great on D but at that position it's hard to be a good defender night in and night out when you are going up against guys like Westbrook, CP3, Conley, Curry, ect...every night and the rules are skewed in favor of guys who attack the lane. Having a good team defensive scheme (which GState does) is far more important than individual stoppers.

I still say the mid 80's with the lakers and Celtics were the best. I was only 8-10 when i saw them play, but holy shit it was great.
Only thing keeping this from the best era is the east being so shitty,

Why the hell are the Grizzlies interested in Mario Chalmers?

He's a decent 3-point shooter, so that's the only thing I can think of.

If the Grizz are interested in 3pt shooting I have a slightly used Nick Young to offer for the low low price of a heavily protected future first round pick.
Refs should get fined for being so blind. Fine Augustin too while we're at it.

Wilt Chamberlain is listed as having the highest vertical leap in NBA history. Because he is tall I can see that always being overlooked since people are easily more impressed with seeing little guys sky over people and slam on them. http://theexercisers.com/how-to-increase-vertical-jump/average-vertical-jump/highest-vertical-jump-in-nba/
This chart is so dumb lmao. ESPN always has the most ridiculous shit.
That said the Warriors clearly the best. Hopefully we can start putting it together. Harden fucking killed it last night and Lawson did exactly what can make us great. Hopefully we can continue.
Still insane though, quick google search shows spud at least had a 42 vert and I think Robinson it said had a 45.....holy shit!

If only I could actually dunk a ball...
On another note, I want to buy my fourth Lakers jersey. I'm wondering what young player to get: Randle, Clarkson, Russell, or someone else?

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
Curry's defensive metrics were good last year and he was first in overall steals.
Defensive stats can be misleading so I'm not saying he's Gary Payton or anything, but he's so clearly the best offensive player in the league, so the argument would basically be someone who is really good at offense while being way, way better at defense. I'm not sure that guy exists. It was Lebron, but he's not that great on D anymore.
Maybe a healthy Durant if he's back to his MVP form, but he's certainly no better than Curry on D and also isn't on Curry's level as a facilitator.

Grizzlies think Mario Chalmers is the answer to their offense problems. Lord have mercy.

But what if you miss 100% of the shots?

i always like to buy jerseys of players who are going to stick around for awhile. I'd hate to have been the person to buy a Dwight Howard jersey. i'd go with Randle.

You get mad at yourself and take a day off.
This Bulls-Hornets game is pissing me off. The Bulls always get destroyed when the game starts, we lack urgency, consistency and killer instinct. Hopefully these are some serious growing pains, cause as of now, I don't like how the team is looking.
This is me just being real salty about this Hornets game

Bulls have been like that for a few years now.

I feel you......this game is fucking terrible
now we are down by 23 nearing the end of the 3rd quarter.....what the hell is this! It was supposed to be a Thibs only effect!

Pelicans getting pasted by the Magic. Pelicans and Davis is starting to mirror the NBA version of the Indianapolis Colts: transcendent young star who can be a force in the league held back by a bad team.

Seems the Pelicans are tanking to get Ben Simmons unintentionally. Hahaha

Holy cow at that Bulls-Hornets score! Are the Hornets that good now or the Bulls that bad? Does MJ actually know what he's doing as an owner now?
Bulls are playing like shit. Hornets are a franchise stuck in the worst possible option, mediocrity. You're not good enough to be a contender but you also dont get any lottery picks, then proceed to get bodied in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Most of us thought that was cause of Thibs' shit offensive schemes. Hoiberg is "supposed" to fix that, but we got another 77 games to play, so no rash judgements

I can't wait till Chalmers is traded. I love the guy, but he should not be getting minutes over Tj.

Randle is the one I'm inching towards....though I love Clarkson. No matter, the modern design of the Gold jerseys is more of a selling point for me. I try to mix it up and get a jersey in different styles (Original Gold, Original Purple, and Sleeved Hollywood Nights).

Come on Raps. Why is this game with Mavs close? JJ Barea is guarding Lowry, Lowry needs to take advantage.

29 rebounds for Drummond. That's a lot.

That might at been the case in the first half of last season, but right now we are a severely hurt team. We currently have 10 players who can play, 3 of which are coming off injury and/or are playing limited minutes. On top of that AD is playing weak, almost looks like he doesn't care. And then to top it off, two of our four losses have been to the Warriors.
So it's not always as it appears. Don't blame the talent of the other players on the team. If we can get healthy we have a solid roster.

Raptors now 4-0! Good finish to the mavs game - got a bit lucky with dirk missing some key attempts. Nevertheless the defence was key. Good lineup of Lowry, derozan, Joseph, JV, and Scola.

SO glad I picked him up second. That man just gave me 60 points in one game.
