I still maintain Walton couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. My dopey head coach who just recites buzz words radar is sharp since I've been dealing with Opie all year in Chicago.

He's still better than Sam Mitchell.

Really disappointed with this game so far but Wednesday would get uglyif thecavs had won tonight. It probably will anyway.

There was one game earlier this year where the Wolves attempted like 6 threes.
Some team will consider Walton for a coaching vacancy this summer. The NBA is hilarious.

Can't believe that was an ejection. The review officials must have been horrified Barnes rolled up on stephs bird leg slightly.
I root for Lebron and this is what I get? God I hate that guy. Push it to 50. Dubbbbb naaaatiiioon!!

Curry trolled a cavs fan courtside on back to back trips down the court. Spike Lee style. Had something to say after a corner three and then looked at his hand as he ran by after a layup. It was a Cavs fan so i'm sure he deserved it.

Lebron finished with 16. He was totally unable to dictate the flow of the game. That's OK if you're Nic Batum or somebody but you're Lebron James. I wont be surprised if he takes another trip to Miami this season to 'recharge'.

Guys, he is the best shooter ever.
His handle and passing are also pretty goddamn ridiculous.

He still only has one ring and two mvps. Some of those best pg of all time lists with him at the top are absurd.

And he has 10+ years left to go. Didn't he break the season record for 3's by a pretty insane percentage last year? And isn't he on pace to crush that record?
Even when his athleticism slows down, he'll still have his shot. Look at some of these guys who started as crazy athletic then later became jump shooters: Vince Carter, Kobe, even MJ.
Curry already has the jump shot and it might only get better.

37 year old curry isn't going to be playing at this level. People forget he's been in the league a little while. His first really good year last year wasn't his rookie year or something.

37 year old Curry's 3-point shooting percentage will be off the goddamn charts.

Well I'm not arguing he's not going to be the all time shooter but longevity wise what small guard has been able to be an elite overall player (perennial mvp candidate) deep into their 30s?

Without looking anything up... Probably not very many.
Curry will eclipse any other shooter. RIP Reggie, Shuttlesworth, etc.
Best PG if all time may be a stretch, no doubt, and time will tell. To me, Curry came up as a shooter/scorer and his passing & handle have just appeared out if nowhere and they are LEGIT. I'm sure he had all that in collee but his shooting was so amazing it trumped everything else.
Nobody I'd rather watch play right now.

Except eclipsing Reggie isn't that big of a deal around here.
