Sam Decker from Wisconsin reminds me of Chandler Parsons.

Dude deserves it. Didn't take the buyout, just wanted to sit and mope at the end of the bench.

64 FTs for Minnesota? Ugly.

I know right?

I'm just rooting really hard against Memphis, Phoenix, Dallas, Clippers, and the Blazers.

This was supposed to be the year that Dallas can't get in, but dang if Dirl isn't playing great still and damn Marion is still tough as nails. Brandan Wrights numbers are again really good, and monta finally found that guy to defer to. Also Vince Carter has been pretty good lately. I'm hoping they come down to earth, but geez.

This is hilarious. Bonner the true PG!

Thinking if Ukrain situation will somehow affect Brooklyn Nets, with possible USA and EU sanctions against russians, Prokhorov iirc was a political buddy of Putin. What would happen if his bank account would get frozen? (probably nothing gonna happen, just a random thought popped up)

What happened to Indiana? They've been losing lately.

Warriors put in a lineup of Klay + 4 bench players on them and still managed to get a 12 point lead in the 4th quarter @ Indiana. Curry didn't have to play the 4th quarter until about 6 minutes in.

Then Indiana lost to Charlotte. With Melo and LeBron scoring 60+ on Charlotte, you'd expect PG to at least have a decent night against them, but he struggled.

Then they get blown out by Houston.

The Houston loss is kind of understandable because it's on the road, but struggling against Golden State's bench at Indiana (best home record in the league) and struggling against Charlotte is weird.

The good sign is that at least our bench can compete now. Curry just needs to cut down on those damn turnovers. Once we put Curry in the game, the Pacers quickly went on a 12-0 run which was energized by Curry's carelessness.

Paul George has come back down to Earth.

Onus · Post #1515 » by **Onus** » Sat Mar 8, 2014 10:07 pm

PG is a jump shooter who was really hot from mid-range when the season started. He wasn't likely to keep that pace up. PG is Klay with athleticism.

IND is really lacking that true go to scorer.

Clips needed Teague to miss a FT with 2 sec left to beat Atlanta.

PG has back problems right now.

I don't see any comparison between Klank and All-Star Paul George. Besides athleticism, PG can garner REB and make AST. Klank reminds me of better Marco Belinelli at this point. If the Ws had PG instead of Klank, then they would be in a position to challenge for the WCF and NBAF during the POs. Likely, Ws would have Iggy at SG and PG at SF.

Bellinelli can play point in a pinch, but his D is nowhere near Klay's. I think Marco has even more streakiness to his game than Klay does.

This season, Klank is just a little better than Marco on the Spurs. I'll give you the D, but Klank is the streakier one.

Holy crap Marco...I'll give it to you I haven't watched Marco a lot on the spurs. I was going with his time with the other clubs he's been on. Belli won the 3pt shoot out for a reason after all.
