I still don't see why you guys would want him here.

I don't understand all the love for Curry, he only hit 2 of 8 two point field goals.

(no green font, becouse I hate that, but if you did not understand the sarcasm here, I can't help u)

He also made 9 three pointers and 3 four pointers.

Did someone say four pointers?

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1791 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 4:20 am

Even if you banned 3 pointers (3 only worth 2) Curry would still be 25 PPG, 6 Assists, 5 Rebounds, 2 Steals.

Which is better than his MVP year.

Raptors To Waive Anthony Bennett, Sign Jason Thompson

Maybe we should give Bennett a go? It could help our tank.

But seriously, maybe all he needs is some roids or HGH. Bring him to Phoenix, have a shady doctor inject him with some PED's (testosterone, roids, HGH, etc) and see if he gets in shape and gets motivated. :lol:

I'm kinda joking. I'm kinda serious.

Imagine if Beasley stuck a roids needle in his ass instead of a weed blunt in his mouth. He'd be an allstar!

I'd give Anthony Bennett a shot, why not. It's not like we want to win any more games anyways

Another one...

Boogie was going to test out his new Fatality, but decided using it on Adams wasn't worth it.

With the Warrior's incredible success, does anyone think we should have traded Amare for an upgrade at center while having Boris Diaw at the starting 4? Hindsight is 20/20 but we'd have been much better off defensively and Boris may have been the 2nd playmaker we had been looking for all along.

You forgot the sarcastic ink - green, isn't it?

We almost won a ring without Amare in 05-06. That shows you how valuable he was to us.

We should have traded him straight up for KG and paired KG with Marion and Nash. Biggest mistake we made.

As for Diaw, a lot of us remember him with rose colored glasses. Yeah, he filled in at center for us and had a great all around game, but he was also a pussy and hated physical play. He got pushed around on the boards and lacked defense. He also didn't stay in shape.

That said, if we had a real Center at the 5 (even Garnett), then perhaps Boris' lack of rebounding and defense would be better covered.

I don't think it is sarcastic.

Given that prime Amare (a bonehead who didn't play defense but still an allstar and big name player) almost got us the #7 pick in the draft, if the Washington pick turns out to be #10-#12 and results in an allstar, it would be quite a heist.

I can't believe the Thunder lost to the Clips. They were up by 17 going into the 4th.

There is still team willing to sign B-easy? Incredible.

I'm starting to wonder if they ever "put it together"... That team has tried so many things and still comes up short. I know they lost to great-great teams, and they had some bad injuries, but still. Will they try to retool (as always), or get bored with it sometime and decide to blow it up? I'm sure offers will be coming in for a sign and trade for Durant this offseason, and Westbrook in the next one.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1804 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Thu Mar 3, 2016 1:41 pm

Everytime I look at the OKC scoreboard when they lose I see 11 players not doing much, Ibaka and Kanter with cameos and Westbrook missing alot of shots.

They have the 2nd highest salary this year and have a pretty terrible 'team' still.

Bogyo · Post #1805 » by **Bogyo** » Thu Mar 3, 2016 3:23 pm

Yeah, they need a system badly as they have a lot of good players. Another shooter would help, but still... They should be better than this.

Well for them, it's lucky that these kinds of games are happening in the regular season (as opposed to the playoffs) and perhaps they can learn from them. They typically win those types of games (especially against the Clippers), if healthy, in the playoffs. Donovan is still on a learning curve anyway. But regardless of where OKC and LAC land between the 3 and 4 spots, they are both extremely likely to win in the first round and lose in the second, so I'm not sure it matters.
