Mason Plumlee comes in at very crucial time in the game.

Demar compared to Iguodala.

NIce to see the trust the staff has in Demar as a ball handler initiating the pick and roll.

Except he's nowhere near as good defensively than Iguodala.

There was an article recently where some anonymous GSW coach said Iguodala is really overrated defensively, that just gambles on the weakside a lot and that Klay is much better man-to-man.

Ask any GM or scout and they'll tell you Thompson is one of the best two-way players in the game, yet he hasn't sniffed either All-Star or All-Defensive team recognition. To make matters worse, teammate Andre Iguodala did receive All-Defensive first-team honors last season, even though injuries left him a shell of himself and forced the Warriors to give Thompson the assignments Iguodala was expected to fill. "Klay is a much better defender," said one former Warriors assistant coach. "It's not even close. It's all based on reputation and stats. The truth is, Dre is always gambling on the weak side."

Not in the NBA but in international play he can fill that role for a team like the USA

Lol, then I guess all these ppl who voted him all nba first team defensively are stupid not to mention advanced stats.

I dunno if he defends the post like Amir does though.

I dont think we can or will trade Amir but I do know Masai really likes Faried and would not be surprsied if Masai approached him as an RFA next year

Faried is not happening. Denver will not let him go. No chance.

Waiting for the day Team Canada assembles their full lineup and we get to see how good we can potentially be

If Team Canada was playing, don't think I would watch the US even with DeRozan on the team

Can't believe that people thought Harden was a more willing passer than Westbrook... He is painful to watch.

Rockets gonna be the worst team to watch next season. Their bench is awful and Harden won't ever pass to anyone, maybe except Dwight sometimes, just because.

I was thinking about a starting line up of young Canadians that are on NBA teams, that would have a balance of athleticism, defense and scoring.

PG - Joesph or Ennis
SG - Stauskas
SF - Wiggins
PF - Olynyk (7 ft)
C - Sacre (7 ft)

Has he been looking to score or to assist? I can't get the stream to work.

what's the score?
