There are only a handful of players in NBA history as electrifying as Curry when he's hot. Gonna miss this bastard when he's gone

Jokic got absolutely trucked on the tip-in attempt :lol:. That’s why Adelman was irate

Jokic has missed almost all of his wide open 3s and shots he would normally make around the basket. AG has bailed him out, but then you have Cam Johnson and Braun who aren't giving you anything either on the offensive end.

Curry looks very good and not just the insane shooting which he will.probably do at 40, but he moves very well and he can get to the basket something he struggled with last year.

I think Golden State Warrior is a pretty cool guy. Eh drains 3-ball and doesnt afraid of anything.

Jokic gotta get up on those screens against Steph. Double if you have to or a hard hedge. Can't allow him to get a clean look.

Question is who do you take out:

MJ
KAJ
LBJ
Wilt
Russell
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Shaq
Kobe(or Hakeem)

He has 4 FTA.

His conditioning is absurd. We saw Ray Allen extend his career as a bench player because of it, but it was nothing like this. Steph is still running circles out there.

Oh please. There are a LOT of floppers and freethrow merchants in this league that I’d name and think of before SGA. The shots at him are so weird

He shot... twenty-six.... free throws... tonight

I'm a Kobe fan but it's getting harder and harder to justify him above Steph. I have no problem with him at #10 ahead of Kobe and Hakeem.

Cam Johnson has been awful today. He’s giving them absolutely nothing on either end. Might as well be Playoff MPJ out there lol.
