Huge win for the Warriors with Curry having his worst game in weeks and the Heat playing really well. Wow.

Hahaha and he only shot it 10 times too. But yea wasn't his best night indeed. I don't know what to make of it though. They now need to beat Orlando to make sure this wasn't a fluke. But damn they're exciting to watch...with or with Bogut.

I think what I was most impressed with tonight is that Curry appeared to recognize he was having an off game and was able to detach hismself from it to some degree and limit his FGAs, a lot of guys in the league that were on a hot streak like he has been would have focused on getting shots up to try to get hot.

I would have loved if Amir Johnson then came in from the side and ripped the ball off the ref.

Yep, he instantly separated himself from guys like Jennings and Ellis by doing that. You just know either of those guys would have had one of those 4-15 kind of nights if they were off like that, instead Curry knew Thompson, Lee and Jack were on so he took a back seat.

Also Kevin Love is quickly going to learn that if you open your big mouth and upset people around your team with selfish comments, following it up with 3-17 from the field is not smiled upon.

Jarrett Jack is an ideal backup PG/combo guard IMO. A really solid player that i think if he was in that role on a contender, he'd get some attention.

Yea Jacks been huge for the Warriors so far with no Rush. Curry had an off game today and he stepped up big time.

LOL. Derek Fisher airballs short by like 3 feet in OT against Boston.

WTF is he doing getting minutes for anyone? He's a perfect example of how coaches are stuck in old school thinking when it comes to doling out minutes.

Dude, it's DEREK FISHER!

I assume that's how he's getting minutes.

This question was posted on the GB like a week ago lol. I don't think I got a reasonable answer.

LOL, I haven't read the story and can't quite make it out but if that was Amir Johnson I would have crapped my pants.

The next Ray Allen minus the jumper.

How the hell did he get the rep as a HOF caliber jump shooter anyway? HS? Beyond that, he isn't overly impressive physically standing 6'3.25" barefoot with a below average standing reach of 8'4".

There is honestly nothing about him that would make a person think he could be an elite SG. The idea that he could be better than a guy who is 23 averaging 25/4/6 with a .58TS% is absurd. The likelihood of any SG entering the league being able to match that is miniscule.
