November 13, 201510 yr I watched a bunch of the game last night. He's just remarkable to watch. That team as a whole is so much fun and exactly what I want out of an NBA champion. Curry hits shots that any other guy shouldn't even take. What got lost last night is how well the T-Wolves performed. The game was never in doubt, but they held their own. That is my fifth game of watching good chunks of the action and they are good. Towns is shooting fade-aways from the elbow and looking solid on the block.
November 13, 201510 yr Why does Klay Thompson not seem to be his normal self? Anyone know? Joker has missed a pile of shots.
November 13, 201510 yr Joker has missed a pile of shots. Imagine how much better the Warriors would be if he was playing at his normal level. Yeesh.....
November 13, 201510 yr Imagine how much better the Warriors would be if he was playing at his normal level. Yeesh..... It's hard to imagine them not repeating.
November 14, 201510 yr Why does Klay Thompson not seem to be his normal self? Anyone know? He's not too far off his career avg.
November 14, 201510 yr How far off from last year's average? 17 PPG for career. 15 this year. 41.7% from 3. 38.6% this year He had that monster game and crazy quarter and I think he got a bit overrated at some point last year. He was terrible in the finals. Terrible might be a little strong of a work. He did have one good game.
November 14, 201510 yr 17 PPG for career. 15 this year. 41.7% from 3. 38.6% this year He had that monster game and crazy quarter and I think he got a bit overrated at some point last year. He was terrible in the finals. Didn't he average over 20 last season?
November 14, 201510 yr Didn't he average over 20 last season? Yep.. 21.7 and shot 44% from 3. So he's a long way off from that.
November 17, 201510 yr Without reading the first five pages, I will say I refuse to believe anybody is as good as or better at playing basketball than LeBron. Admittedly, I'm probably his biggest fan in the Bluegrass State, but that aside, you can not disregard the facts. He leaves Cleveland and the they have the number one pick one season later. He leaves Miami, where HE allegedly needed Wade and CB to win a title, (more on this momentarily) and they miss the playoffs. That speaks volumes, not to mention his performance in the Finals last year where a complete team was needed to deny him for the second year in a row. On the Wade and Bosh situation, we all know no player has won a title by himself. In a league with the best basketball players in the world, none ever will. Scottie and the boys at least made the playoffs without MJ in what is widely regarded as a better NBA, so to say "Sure Jordan had Pippen, but we know who the leader was," is only stating the obvious without accepting the reality that the Bulls were an outstanding team collectively. Back to the topic at hand. Steph is undoubtedly the best player on the best team in the league, but by no measure does that make him the best player in the league. His handle is otherworldly, and serves as the perfect compliment to his unbelievably reliable shooting stroke, but there are about three other PGs in the league (Westbrook, CP3, Dame) who are arguably equally valuable to their team, whereas LeBron is basically measured against Jordan. I guess in short, give it time. Steph will have his day, assuming Russ can't maintain his style of play for the entirety of his career, which reminds me a bit of The King conveniently enough, but for now, lets all soak in the sometimes brutally beautiful game LeBron is playing.
November 18, 201510 yr Russ>Steph I'll agree. Steph can hit everything but I love watching Westbrook play when Kevin Durant is out. LeBron > all still
