Around the nba part 6

[NBA Fan 1234]

Golden State is so up and down. They are often mediocre, but very dominant sometimes.

they're sooooo much fun watching though when they hit their shots. beautiful passing from every position no matter who is on the court.

They should be interesting in the playoffs.

especially if they start hitting their shots. depth+shooters galore = problems.

Anyone still think Lin is good after tonights whooping by Curry?

...smh.

[Quick Kick]

Lin got hot in the 3rd and then did pretty much nothing the rest of the game. Steph and Klay, man when those guys are locked in from downtown, you might as well accept the L, pack your sh*t, and go home.

Klay's a little overrated. GSW fans criticize him quite a bit. He's young though, he'll mature and get better. HOU won the series 3 - 1.

season series dont mean anything. At all, unless you're talking about bragging rights. And yes, that applies to us beating Miami in November and December as well

Let's go ATL.

Curry lit up the Knicks more and the Knicks still won with Felton. Imagine that.

What are you arguing against?

If we're judging players on how bad Curry lights them up then Ray should be playing in the Philippines.

Curry played 45 mins, Lin played 35 mins.

Curry - 29 pts, 11 assists, 12/22 shooting
Lin - 21 pts, 4 assists, 9/16 shooting.

Did Felton get "outplayed" by CP3 too?

Well, when 53/79 million of your cap space is banged up/not playing.. it's hard to play "told you so" and tie it back to "Melo ISOs," Lin, and all the other talking points.

That's weird because I thought the team was struggling before the injuries to Amar'e, Melo, And Chandler.

If you want to complain about reliance on 3s, lack of defensive intensity etc etc -- i'm all with ya. Not the same team we saw at the beginning of the year... And I think a variety of factors are to blame. "Melo ISOs" "The Melo trade" "Lin" and the like aren't high up on that list- as much as these people would like them to be.

Cause and effect man... the decisions of the past most certainly influence the team today. Keep Lin, maybe less Melo Iso's... have one guy capable of carrying a team by virtue of making menial players good for a little stretch here and there if Melo goes down or Stat. Decide to go younger with regards to off season moves and maybe when guys go down you still have the energy to compete and maybe develop a player or two with more talent. I could break down each personnel move one by one.. but you get the gist.. you lay the foundation in the summer as far as coach and players and going all in because you think Melo is good enough to carry a team to a chip or you think the team is close to winning "now" was a foolish mistake.

This team is %100 built around Melo first everything else be damned... I don't think a franchise is going to get where they want to get by doing that.. ever.

lol evans banking from the baseline....give me a damn break

lol going by that then James Harden must be a scrub too, dude got toasted by Klay.

Curry played 10 more minutes and had 8 more points. He outplayed Lin but whooped I dunno about that.

He was getting picks and screens all night and being an elite shooter, when he's hot you can't really stop him...I mean look what he did to NY lol.

About the Rockets....not sure how far they can get unless they get a coaching staff that will hold Harden accountable on D. He has to have the worst defense for a "superstar" in the NBA...the guy just doesn't care at all or even try on that end. It's pathetic.

Lin was the best player for the Rockets. Played 35 minutes and scored 21 points. Had 7 in the first quarter and didn't really play the whole 4th so I din't see how you can say he did nothing for the rest of the game. Motiejunas and Parsons started out the game really poorly and that set the tone early on in terms of pressure on the back court to score more.

As for Klay Thompson, I don't think I've ever seen him miss an open three.

How many times have the Rockets beaten the Warriors this year?

Felton is one of the worst starting PG's in the nba. I"m not sure you should be using him as a reference.

To beat them overplay the wings.. deny the wings and chase them to the cup. Memphis would handle GS... they need to hope they don't draw Memphis at any point.

[ibraheim718]

Alright.. Let's get back to talking basketball.. ignore the obvious inflammatory remarks fellas.

[Falstaffxx]

Brooklyn 73
Atlanta 71

End of 3rd Quarter

I'm just saying, Felton didn't have that bad of a day because the Knicks' other players were basically no shows. He was terrible against Portland, but had some really nice drives today. I try to be objective, unlike some other posters who just want to hate on Lin to try to justify to themselves that the Knicks made the right decision.

[Quick Kick]

there's no need to justify anything. They did make the right decision.

[Falstaffxx]

I never get a sense of cohesion or urgency when I watch the Nets play.

[Quick Kick]

thats because the Nets blow.

[mpharris36]

lets go ATL....love the way teague plays he would be the perfect PG for us
