I'm speechless on how good Curry has been. My goodness. Rockets looked good tonight....but like abeer said....they will not be as good this year...and I expect them to get beat in the first round by one of the top 4 western squads (Warriors,Spurs, Thunder and Clipppers). Both Rockets and Grizzlies have regressed a lot more than I thought....and add in the fact that the Pelicans have looked very unimpressive....the bottom half of the west is kinda wide open right now. I'm curious to see how the Rockets, Grizzlies and Pelicans respond to some early adversity.
NO just doesn't have the horses, imo. it's not about chemistry or anything like that. Houston also has less talent than the press would have you believe. harden's ft parade obscures some of that team's problems, though (as 3-4 gifted points per night will do). NO doesn't have that in their back pocket; davis tries to win by playing basketball.
Rockets announcers were complaining about OKC players drawing contact too frequently last night .. how ironic
They ain't playing a team who have a smash mouth mentality like ours. No worries, Byron will find a way.
The Warriors look meaner this year. They're champs with a chip on their shoulder. *shudder* There's no way they can keep shooting like this right? RIGHT?? It defies history/logic/physics/my ability to comprehend basketball!
Yeah that Warriors team looks like a dynasty in the making. Can they repeat? I wouldn't mind that at all. A sweep of the Kang and his horde of minions would be even better
The crazy thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if the shooting stays like this for a few more months. And you are right, they do look meaner this year, especially Curry. They look as if they are trying to prove doubters wrong, the people who say they won't repeat, the people who decided to cover the Cavs more than the recent champs over the summer. I can definitely root for them to win again, they are fun to watch especially Curry and they don't have that "bad guy" vibe to them. The Clippers vs Warriors game should be fun to watch tomorrow.
Drummond with another sick stat line, 25p and 29r... He is quickly developing in better de andre version...
gs looks like a juggernaut, but it's a long season, and they've had a pretty good run of health lately. curry misses any time and they could look very ordinary. but yeah, assuming everyone's healthy, nobody should pick against them for any reason. when do the lakers play them first? i might hide out in a bunker.
My money is on the healthy Cavs team (insert barf emoticon). Last year GS got a little lucky. Still, props for getting the trophy.
The game tonight between Warriors and Clippers should be fun. Just wished Bogut was playing, you know he would be getting in Blake and DJs faces.
They didn't get lucky. Golden State was the best team in basketball from start to finish. They can't control if players go down. Just like we couldn't control that Garnett went down in 2009 or that the Nuggets choked in the first round against Utah. The Cavs if healthy are a very good team, but are they ever gonna be healthy? Love and Kyrie have never played a full season to my knowledge and LeBron is starting to have back issues.
This Warriors vs Clippers game has been very entertaining. For all the conditioning we did in training camp, Warriors are going to run us out of the building. Luke needs to come home. Everyone on the Clippers is annoying. CP3 gets away with so much pulling and grabbing. Why can't Laker games get me this excited?!?!
Curry is ridiculous. Pulled a up for 3 with a little over a minute left, drains it from way out there. And lol at Austin rivers closing out the game. I wish my daddy coached an NBA team.
Why Jordan keeps sagging off on these high screen and rolls with Curry is beyond me. Make him drive or give it up.
