2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Stephen Curry might be the greatest shooter ever.

He's Maravich, but he's a better shooter and in more control.

 

76ers, Nets and New Orleans are a combined 2-28.

The NBA, you know you want it. Bitch

 

Did not foresee it but Curry is changing the game with his unbelievable range and ability to shoot 3s off the dribble. Even so, the Warriors are not the dominant team they are without (1) Draymond's toughness and D; (2) Igoudala's glue factor; (3) the lack of any apparent selfishness by the primary team members; and (4) the structure provided by Kerr and his staff.

 

That might be a little harsh. We all wish we could be in such a position, certainly, but that doesn't make it easy to decide where you're going to spend the next 4-5 years of your life. Not a bad idea to make sure you're going to be somewhere you want to be.

But worrying about being overshadowed by teammates? Yeah, doesn't really reflect well on him.

 

McHale fired. From what I understand, Howard quit listening to him.

 

Was McHale telling him to play to his potential?

 

Dwight Howard has really turned into a coach killer.

 

You guys are putting this on Dwight Howard?

 

Ho hum. The Warriors, who trailed the Clippers by 23 points midway through the second quarter and by 10 points midway through the fourth, win going away. Now 13-0, two short of the record to start the season.

Curry with 30+ points and 5+ threes for the fourth game in a row.

 

Thought they said nothing good happens after midnight?

 

Curry is averaging 34.3 ppg, nearly 6 apg, 5.3 rebounds per game, 2.5 steals per game, shooting 93.3 percent from the line and .453 from three range (with nearly all closely contested), and oh yeah, his team is 13-0.

Good christ, what an insane season he's having.

 

Its so nice to watch a game like last night and think that the Ws are the best team in the world right now, after rooting for the team that:

1. Drafted Chris Washburn #3;
2. Drafted Mike Dunleavy #3;
3. Thought Mookie Blaylock was the answer at PG;
4. Trusted Acie Law more than Curry;
5. Played "small ball" with Nellie all the while ignoring D and the need to actually rebound; and
6. Thought it was winning ball to have Manute Bol chucking 3s from 24 ft.

I know other teams have ever worse histories, but the Ws, after 1976 (when Jamaal Wilkes bailed out), had one really good year before 2013, the 1993-1994 Webber year (then they get rid of him because Nellie refused to work with him, that was hard to take).
