BwareDWare94 723 Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Warriors are so stacked it's unreal. They don't have true superstar talent like OKC, LAC, or MIA; but they have, in my opinion, the most solid starting 5 in the league. That plus Harrison Barnes as a sixth man is just nasty. Stephen Curry is true superstar talent, my friend. And considering his position is so limited throughout the league, I'd consider Andrew Bogut something like a star center. Love has looked really good this season. It's clear he's been working on his passing. A couple weeks in and I think he's #2 in the MVP race only behind CP3. He's always had the outlet pass, just never had players who leaked out. How is he behind CP3? That's absurd, imo. Point of Discussion: Chris Paul is arguably the most dirty player in the league.

If this was the Bogut of 2010 I would agree. But Bogut has averaged only 6 points a game in just under 25 mins the last 2 seasons with the Warriors, so I don't know how you can possibly consider that as a star center. I know that center is really weak because Dwight had an off year by all accounts and was still the best center in the league by far. But Bogut is mostly a role player for the Warriors at this point in time. He is a damn good role player though and a perfect fit for the team and the style of basketball that they play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't call Curry a true superstar until he can prove he is capable of maintaining this level of skill. Bogut isn't a star center but he is definitely a key piece for the team. If Curry continues to play like he does and the team progresses like they should they will be in the finals. Especially since they pretty much gave some roleplayers away for Igoudala. I think he will be the key piece for any Warriors run deep into the playoffs. Edited November 15, 2013 by Chernobyl426 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he will be the key piece for any Warriors run deep into the playoffs. I guess I consider Steph a superstar because he's only been limited by injuries, not himself. I would love to say that they should be in the Finals if healthy, because the Indiana Pacers are the same way. Both are the best overall teams in their respective conferences, but both face other great teams with better Superstars. It sucks, but superstar power means everything in the NBA. However, I think Indiana's improved overall depth could help them get past Miami. GSW is deeper they were last year, too, which I didn't realize, but Houston and San Antonio are deep, too. OKC might be, if certain players develop, and they have the best Superstar in the West. Warriors are so stacked it's unreal.

seanbrock 1,684 Posted November 15, 2013 Really excited about what Brett Brown has brought to the Sixers. We have plenty of time to decide what to do with Evan Turner but if things keep going the way they have this year I think the Sixers have a better chance than some would think to re-sign him. I know Turner hasn't been happy with the Sixers organization but he's getting every opportunity to have the ball in his hands with Brett Brown. I was all about the tanking strategy but if we can just have a great coach who can develop players we should be fine. Philly is a great basketball town and we have plenty of money to go out and sign whoever we want to or trade for whoever we want to. At this point I don't really think we have a shot at the number 1 pick but I think it'd be a lot smarter to just build a winning culture with what we have. We still have so much flexibility to make moves. Very excited about the future atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I've seen enough of Kevin Love this year to tell you that despite all his heights on the offensive side of the ball, defensively he isn't there. CPIII has been money in both phases of the game. And Love's team's record is more then likely going to work against him down the line. I still think that LBJ is going to win it this year. But Paul and KD are his biggest competitors in my eyes. Edited November 16, 2013 by DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted November 16, 2013 Derozan put 37 pts up on us...which isn't usual for the Bulls to give up a single handed performance of that nature to anyone. Even without Rose..who's most likely resting for tomorrow's game against the Pacers, it seems that the team is heading in the right direction. I know it was the Craptors..but I saw better team play tonight than for the majority of the season so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted November 19, 2013 Aldridge has been adjusting to the new scheme being ran by Portland which does not play to his biggest strength and has still been balling. Still hands down my favorite PF in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Admiral 28 Posted November 19, 2013 Exciting finish in the OKC/Denver game. When Lawson was fouled before he caught the ball in bounds, does he get 2 shots and the ball back? If so, why would he miss the second one on purpose? ...Or is it just two shots since the ball was in play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Again, TERRANCE JONES. Also, it is absolutely awesome that someone kicked Chris Paul in the face. The best play the league has seen since Jason Smith decked Blake Griffin. These two players ask for this shit. Griffin's getting better, which you can see on the court. He doesn't bitch nearly as much anymore, and I hope that's Doc Rivers' influence. Chris Paul, on the other hand, is always kicking and hitting guys under the radar and is easily the dirtiest player in the NBA. Someone could hit him with a haymaker and I would call it justified. He's just a little bitch. Edited November 20, 2013 by BwareDWare94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted November 21, 2013 More like Rockets keep finding ways to fucking lose to inferior teams. Dallas is going to regress to the mean. Granted, last night was just one team getting hot. Houston played pretty good defense on most shots aside from Marion's wide open 3, but nobody from Dallas was missing at all. It was just frustrating. Guarded shots that hit nothing but net or bounce in. I hate when that happens. That takes the game out of players' hands. It just so happens that one team got hot while another was playing fine but wasn't drilling everything with people in their faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted November 26, 2013 Stuckey has turned it around this year. I can't even talk shit about him anymore, his jumper looks better, he's being smart with the ball, I actually think he needs more PT. He's probably playing better because he's coming off the bench.

ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted November 26, 2013 Players have already come out and said that they need to move forward from the loss of D-Rose. But seeing them try and move on this year is mentally more challenging than it was than when he first got hurt. I feel a majority of our team is slowly coming to the realization that Rose has a good possibility of not playing again for the Chicago Bulls..let alone the NBA. I saw it last night against the worst team in the league..they just lacked confidence and an overall sense of direction. It's gonna be another tough year, but I'm not opposed to hitting the reset button with the roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
