And yes you can throw away 7 decades of data because Curry changed the game. Centers are no longer that important to winning.

Dude Luka was eating up Morris and PG too, and I'll agree with you that point guards just aren't good at defense no matter how hard they try. But warriors have multiple guys with 7ft wingspans. What's funny is they have a 7fter in wiseman who has a 7'6 wingspan. Height matters to a certain extent, but wingspan and skill are a lot more important to the way the warriors play.

Don't get me wrong here, the Warriors should be the favorite right now in the West to go to the Finals. They are a deadly team. I do think we are going to see certain teams try to exploit their size though, especially in the playoffs.

I'm in Dallas and I can tell you that shit is not going unnoticed by fans. He's a great talent, highly skilled, but he tries to coast on that talent and doesn't give 100% when it comes to meeting his full potential. I watch most of the Mavs games and even now, 20+ games into the season he looks about 15-20 pounds heavier than he needs to be.

I think he will take that step eventually when he hits his prime. Consider how many of these generational talents played when they hit their prime, Miami LeBron, MVP season/2017 KD, they really locked in on both sides and did what they had to do. I hope we will see something similar with Luka when he is 27/28/29 and surrounded by an elite cast contending. Right now he is 22 and just finished a summer Olympic run. I can't blame him for probably partying and taking a month off at that age knowing your #2 will probably play 40 games (Zinger), and your #3 is Tim Hardaway Jr. He's young, he has been playing pro since 16. Dude probably wants to enjoy his youth and rest the body a little.

I think in the future he will come in better shape, he's acknowledged it at least and I'm sure there will be tons of chops floating around on the internet with him being huge. Zion at 330 is a bit concerning. Hearing he is eating entire pizzas and downing bottles of soda is ridiculous. He's young and has a lot of career a head of him, I hope he takes his health seriously. A lot of future earnings riding on those knees and I want to watch him compete. Dwight Howard was a guy who had a diet like that while competing at a top level so who knows. Legend has it he would down multiple (3+) bags of skittles a day while impregnating baby mommas and sliding in 17 year old girls DM's, and he still made it to the Finals.

The home cooking is strong for Miami in this one.
 
Turned on the warrios game for 5 minutes and corey has hilariously bricked 3 threes and Gaymond got T’d up already lol.
 
Mavs with a much needed win over the Grizzlies. Luka has the longest 20+ points in consecutive games for the season at 15 in a row.
 
Curry is chucking those 3s tonight.

Over/under 30 attempts from 3.

They go on the Road for the next 5 and was trying to get the career 3 point record at home . That didn't happen.
 


Steph about to break Ray Allen’s record

I don't blame you for not understanding greatness, you kind of have to watch the games and understand basketball to see it. Not just espn highlights like you and @Revolver do.

Curry is the only player in nba history who the refs don't apply the standard nba rules for. You can hold him, foul him, not give him any landing space and the refs won't blow the whistle. I understand it too, they have to try and nerf him without nerfing all the nike stars.
 
Haven't watched any basketball this year. But just checked the records and lmao @ the celtshits. looks like a great start to the Brad Stevens era. Lmao @ making this failed coach the GM.

Did you see how miami did giannis last night with no center? Like I said centers are no longer necessary since there are only two players in the league, Jokic and Embiid, that can exploit small lineups

Why did you edit this? Didn't like what you posted before? Did you think this was more witty?

And of course everyone cares what I have to say, I have accurately predicted every champ since 2012 and predicted Steph's greatness on these shits forums.
 
lmao. before you tagged me I hadn't read one of your posts in a few years.
