Stephen curry is a pretty good shooter.

God's honest truth.. If there was ever a guy I wanted the Pistons to draft, it was him.. He was sick in college too.. Everyone said his game probably wouldn't translate. I remember. Curry is a beast.

I think Curry at this point has supplanted himself as top 3 point guard peaks ever. He's got an extra notch that Stockton, Kidd, Isiah, Nash, even CP3 couldn't match.

Didn't know where else to post this, but is anyone else sick of Derrick Rose? I'm sick of seeing him, I'm sick of hearing about all his injuries, his excuses. Well the Bulls would be fantastic if Derrick Rose is ever healthy for a whole season. I'm just sick of hearing it. Now a RealGm story about how he has only functionality in only one eye. It's never ending, I just don't wanna hear anymore about him. Even his ridiculous comments about how he can't play all out because he has to think about taking his kids to school after he retires. He's just another one of the spoiled brat athletes that doesn't realize the elite opportunity he has. I've told friends that the BULLS won't win a title or maybe not even make the FINALS until they move on from him. I"m just annoyed hearing about him. I have never been a Bulls fan as a Pistons fan, but I can tell you I respected the way they played with Jimmy Butler leading that team and Rose on the bench. The Bulls have pieces and with Rose dominating the ball, they seem one-dimensional. Ball movement is key. SA has shown that, GS has shown that and the elite teams show that. Here's is to hoping the Pistons can show that this season.

I would give majority of this roster short of SVG in a trade for Curry, and it still won't be enough.

The best part is, Curry is on an insanely bargain contract that'll never be beaten for a player of his caliber.

So the absolutely terrible Knicks go out and win a game in Milwaukee and Porzingis plays well, and all I'm seeing is "can the knicks make the playoffs"? "Are they better then we thought they were" from all the major sports sites after playing 1 game, while the Pistons controlled and beat the Hawks on the road (they won more home games last year then the Pistons won total last year)and then follow it up by grinding out a win against another media darling in Utah.

Not a peep.

I guess someone was saying Bill Simmons was calling reggie jackson a bench player last night. That's what the Pistons got if that counts. LMAO.

I'm not sure the Knicks showed much... I think it's more likely the Bucks showed something bad.

Monroe can't anchor a defense, and MCW is a terrible freakin' basketball player. Milwaukee will be a lot better once Giannis and then Jabari are back, but I still don't think that's a particularly good team.

Besides, it'll be fun watching Knicks fans get all hyped up and then come crashing down to earth. ;-)

Westbrook and Durant are the best 1/2 punch in the NBA and no other combo is even in their stratosphere. Ridiculous the amount of talent those two have.

Monroe with another empty stat game and loss. I'm glad that's gone from our team.

And the Bucks gave up 118 points without any overtime. Moose effect.

Yeah, Mil is giving up 120 ppg. Their defense is atrocious. And we're a top 5 defense right now. Small sample size of course. If we finish top 10 defense and continue to control the boards we'll be a tough out for anybody.

tmorgan · Post #875 » by **tmorgan** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 6:23 am

Monroe doesn't make many mistakes -- so in that sense, he's playing very well -- but he also doesn't really do anything. He's not a grinder, he doesn't help out or cause turnovers, he just kinda does his thing and that's it. A good player, to be sure, but just not a real impact player.

DBC10 · Post #876 » by **DBC10** » Sat Oct 31, 2015 1:29 pm

Looks like we'll take over MIL's spot in the playoffs soon at this rate.

Curry's 53 is the first of this season.

Wow, he's in mid-season MVP form already. Literally no one can guard him since he's gotten somehow better than last year.

tmorgan · Post #878 » by **tmorgan** » Sun Nov 1, 2015 7:02 am

Curry's handle and release quickness are unreal. Not much you can do except try and contest a little and hope he's off.

I know its really early but watching the Pelicans last night was brutal. Davis is a monster obviously and I know they are dealing with injuries but oh man do they look awful.

MrBigShot · Post #880 » by **MrBigShot** » Sun Nov 1, 2015 6:10 pm

Forget LeBron/KD/Anthony Davis, even with everybody at their best Curry is the best in the world. It's his league now.
