I will. he's the best defensive player of his generation and an extremely smart offensive player. He understand 5-5 basketball as well as any player I've seen in my life.


His also such a whiner, like a 2 year old. Cannot believe his shooting 36% this series.

The only legit critique of Warriors management is blowing the Kuminga/Wiseman picks. They did and it cost them alot. But even with that Curry has had very good supporting casts and Curry fans sound delusional when they claim he didn't.

time to put your goggles on man 8-)


Would you trade Curry's supporting cast for Giannis or Jokic's supporting cast?

is this a trick question? Green Podz Moody JK for Gordon MPJ Murray Braun? :lol:

Famine green back at it again.

If Butler was healthy they win this series 4-1 Houston is atrocious on offense.

Oh he's an ass. I won't deny it. He deserves way more technical/ejections than he's received. It is still outrageous he didn't get suspended for the Adams kick.

A lot of that is because of Green :lol:

Thought Senbrick’s inability to make a layup is up there tho. At least he’s a positive overall though.

Worst guard duo in the NBA right here folks. FVV and Green what a horrendous pair they are. One is dumber than the other.

:lol: We're two and a half games into the series. Draymond Green has 15 points on 5-17 shooting and 5 assists/10 turnovers. "Extremely smart offensive player" He has been completely and utterly useless on offense all series.

I don't know why the Rockets don't post up Sengun when they just NEED a bucket. Half of their offense all year was missed Sengun bunnies that turn into putbacks. Amen Thompson has gone AWOL.

Warriors being down 3 is insane. Their offense is either Curry or a whole bunch of nonsense.
