NBA/ Basketball thread

Absolute must win...their first of the season. Last 'must win' they had was against Memphis in last year's playoffs.

Being the best long range shooter of all time makes people forget how good Curry is at finishing in the paint...he's so fun to watch.

Too right, it's mad. Statistically the best in the league in made layups I believe. Strangely though, I love watching GSW for their role players like Barnes, Iggy, Ezeli and Mo Buckets. Their whole bench is stacked with useful minutes, and thats why I can't see them losing to anyone over 7 games. Warriors to win it all for you too?

I certainly hope so! I've lived in the Bay Area for 13 years, and have defo adopted the Warriors because 1. Klay went to WSU and 2. Curry is just too damn fun to watch.

With Seattle being robbed of their team (OKC) I especially hope the Warriors win. I could go on a massive rant, but I'll leave it...Seattle losing the Sonics was a well documented filthy bit of business by Stern, Bennett, and Schultz.

Hope Seattle get their franchise back soon, but hard to see it happening with these arena deals going through in Sacramento and Milwaukee at the moment. Maybe adding a team or two to the league might be the only option?

We have the investor to build a new arena...City Council just voted down the most recent plan as it would close down a block of a street called Occidental near the Baseball and Football stadiums.

It's pretty ugly up here (I'm working in Seattle ATM) right now regarding this topic, as the vote just happened. The investor is trying to build an arena and attract both an NBA and NHL franchise.

Curry went supernova for a couple of minutes and put the game to bed.

He reminds me so much of Steve Nash, only an even better shooter, and with more athleticism. Nash 2.0 if you will.

Warriors to win it all for you too?

Had it between them and the Spurs since the start of the season. At this point, as long as it's not Cle I don't mind, tho I've got a small bet on GS.

Remember when we all thought the Thunder were going to win the series?

Cleveland clean sweeping this?

Boy that guy's an idiot

I've unfortunately seen plenty of games like this, this year

Not many where the Warriors have been on this side of the beating, however.

Curry may be the best shooter ever, including how deep he can shoot it, but it's hard to say he's better than Bird even if his stats are better.

The 96 Bulls kick people in the balls better.

Its hard for me to say that any of the 80s players were better. Defense didn't exist then.

Bird is a legend.

He did not redefine what a good shot is like Curry is doing. Contested shot from 30 feet? No problem. Demoralizing when he is on. Makes contested 3's for fun...let's not even get into his handles and amazing ability to finish in the paint.

He is the every man that kids will be trying to emulate, because he's not a freak of nature in stature or athletic ability. The next evolution will be a kid who can do everything Steph does, and is a freak of nature.

Need to splice his genes with LeBrons...
